      OTHER CANNABINOIDS IN HEMP (BESIDES CBD) THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
      *Disclaimer: This article is not meant to serve as a substitute for veterinary advice. Dr.Hempdog believes firmly in the contents of this article because of the thorough research that backs it up and our own experiences with the thousands of dogs that we have helped through the years (including our own). You should always defer to your veterinarian when adding anything to your dog's unique wellness routine. 

       

      You’ve likely heard of common cannabinoids like CBD and THC, but did you know that there are dozens of other cannabinoids in hemp that can be extremely helpful for animals as well? In this article, we’ll walk you through some of the most significant secondary cannabinoids in hemp and what the science says about how they could help dogs suffering from inflammation, pain, anxiety, seizures, and even cancer.


      What are Cannabinoids?

      Cannabinoids are a class of helpful natural compounds that interact with the endocannabinoid system in all mammal bodies. They're found in many plants and foods throughout nature, but amazingly, cannabinoids are found most abundantly in the hemp and Cannabis plants. Furthermore, the human brain produces cannabinoids of its own known as “endo-cannabinoids” (internal cannabinoids) which also help to maintain homeostasis. 

      Every mammal has an endocannabinoid system that works this way, but horses and dogs have the most sensitive endocannabinoid systems ever studied, which means that we can use cannabinoids to help them with many conditions. While CBD and THC are the most well-known cannabinoids, current findings demonstrate that many other cannabinoids (such as CBC, CBG, etc.) can effectively treat certain ailments in unique ways, and can furthermore actually enhance CBD and one another, which is known as the entourage effect.

      The Benefits of Lesser-Known Cannabinoids in Dr.Hempdog

      Dr.Hempdog’s product features an array of cannabinoids beyond CBD, all of which have been studied for numerous medicinal benefits. Here’s what the science says about each of these lesser-known cannabinoids found in our tinctures:


        CBDV | Cannabidivarin

        CBDV is a chemical variant of CBD (the “V” technically stands for “varin,” but is easiest to remember as “variant”). As CBD’s counterpart, CBDV is similarly safe and effective, but can also provide unique benefits of its own according to current findings:


        CBC | Cannabichromene

        CBC is a profoundly beneficial cannabinoid that often flies under the radar, yet studies show that CBC has potent anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties which are further enhanced by other cannabinoids:


        CBG | Cannabigerol

        CBG is closely related to CBC, but isn’t found in very high quantities in most hemp strains. However, our product features a significant amount of CBG, which is extremely helpful since studies show that CBG can benefit those suffering from certain ailments:


        CBN | Cannabinol

        CBN is starting to be understood as a valuable sleep-aid, yet shares none of the intoxicating properties of THC. Studies show that it’s also effective as an anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective cannabinoid. CBN trials with dogs are still in their earliest stages, but there are a variety of human studies that help to illustrate the incredible potential of this cannabinoid:

         

        CBDA | Cannabidiolic Acid

        CBDA is what’s known as a cannabinoid acid (the “A” stands for “acid”), which means that it’s the original, raw form of CBD that the hemp plant produces. While CBDA can be manually converted into CBD via a heat activation process known as decarboxylation, CBDA is known to have benefits of its own according to these studies:


        How to Identify the Cannabinoids In Your Hemp Product

        Hemp products containing a variety of cannabinoids are clearly superior to the many superficial CBD products you’ll commonly find on the market, but how can you identify what cannabinoids are in the products you buy? The answer is simple: lab work. 

        Any hemp product worth its salt will come with what’s known as a Certificate of Analysis (COA), which, at a minimum, will show what cannabinoids are in the product. A good COA should also include a profile of helpful terpenes and an absence of toxic solvents, heavy metals, and pesticides. You can’t have confidence in any product that lacks an easily available, up-to-date COA with the company’s name on it. Dr. Hempdog’s latest COA excels in all of these regards, and is always readily available at the bottom of our website, clearly showing that we have a full spectrum of anti-inflammatory cannabinoids in our product (CBG, CBC, CBDV, etc.) that helps our product stand above the rest.
