Quite often people are advised to stop taking anti-inflammatory medications before surgery, so it’s completely reasonable to wonder if that includes your Ultra BCP—especially because it is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
The simple answer is – yes, stop taking your Beta Caryophyllene (BCP) a few days before surgery. BUT!!! I say this because there just isn’t enough research to say otherwise. So, our recommendation is to always tell your surgeon that you are taking Beta Caryophyllene (BCP) and the final say lands on them.
The Ear Nose Throat Specialist in Sydney say that “many medications have an effect on bleeding or on the anaesthesia that is given during surgery…..This includes all medications, prescription or over the counter, as well as any herbal supplements or vitamins…” (emphasis mine). So you absolutely should stop taking the likes of aspirin, warfarin, or other blood thinners.
Beta-caryophyllene (BCP) is a naturally occurring dietary terpene/cannabinoid found in cloves, black pepper, and various botanical oils. It is unique because it selectively activates the CB2 receptor, part of the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) involved in immune and inflammatory regulation.
This means it works differently from pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories. However, I would caution that just because it is different does not automatically mean it is risk-free in a surgical setting. This is mainly due to the fact that there simply hasn’t been any research into this—and who would want to risk it? Not me!!
Again, there is currently no published guidance on optimal timing for restarting Beta Caryophyllene (BCP) after surgery. So again, talk to your surgeon or specialist.
Beta-caryophyllene (BCP) works differently from conventional anti-inflammatories. It has promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. However, its safety in surgical settings has not been studied.
If you are scheduled for surgery, please:
Inform your surgeon and anaesthetist about all supplements.
Discuss Ultra BCP specifically.
Follow their clinical guidance.
Your safety always comes first.
I’m sorry that I can’t give anything more definitive, but until studies are done, it’s best to err on the side of caution. If you are having surgery soon, we wish you all the best and a speedy recovery
