Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with your body's endocannabinoid system. They can be naturally produced (endocannabinoids) or extracted from plants (phytocannabinoids). CBD and THC are the most well-known, but there are over 100 cannabinoids in hemp, including CBG, CBN, and CBC, each with unique benefits.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) helps maintain balance in your body. Discovered in 1992, it includes receptors, endocannabinoids, and enzymes. Endocannabinoids bind with receptors to reduce stress and inflammation. Hemp-derived phytocannabinoids work similarly, providing relief from anxiety, pain, and inflammation.

CBD (Cannabidiol) is the most common cannabinoid in hemp. Unlike THC, it doesn't cause intoxication. Discovered in 1940, CBD has been researched for its potential health benefits, including relief from chronic pain, insomnia, neurological issues, seizures, inflammation, and even cancer.

Whole Plant Hemp Extract is derived from the flowers of the hemp plant. It contains concentrated amounts of CBD which make up its majority but it also contains up to 100+ additional cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that naturally occur in the hemp plant. These plant chemicals work together to provide a greater relief than CBD could provide on its own. Murphy Hemp Company’s Whole Plant Hemp Extract is made with an organic grain alcohol.

CBD isolate is a refined hemp extract with all other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids removed, resulting in a 99-100% pure CBD powder. Some research suggests that without these compounds, CBD may not be as effective and could potentially harm the endocannabinoid system. That's why we use Whole Plant Hemp Extract in our products.

“Full Spectrum” used to be a term interchangeable with “Whole Plant Hemp Extract”. However, some companies have developed a process to extract individual cannabinoids, piece them back together, and call it a “Full Spectrum” product. This has caused some confusion in the industry as to what “Full Spectrum” really means. If you’re not sure if the advertised “Full Spectrum” product is what you’re looking for play it safe and buy a product that uses Whole Plant Hemp Extract.

Our products are made with Whole Plant Hemp Extract which contain trace amounts of THC and there is a chance of it building up within your blood stream and causing you to test positive. Whether or not you test positive will depend on your metabolism and how high of a dose you’ve been taking. If this is a concern check with your employer before using our products. Some employers are adjusting their standards to allow for the trace amount of THC contained in hemp supplements.

CBD is generally safe for pets when given in moderate doses. Pet owners often report benefits like pain and anxiety relief, improved mobility, fewer seizures, and even reduced tumor growth.
