Side Affects?

Hey there, Canna Oils family! 

Each of us is unique, and our bodies can react differently to various substances. There are countless factors inside our bodies (and minds) that can influence how Canna Oils’ beta caryophyllene (BCP) affects our health. Most of the feedback we receive is overwhelmingly positive, with users reporting reduced pain and inflammation, improved mood, and better sleep.

However, sometimes individuals might not experience such favourable results. Some people have reported mild side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, or light-headedness. Rarely, BCP can cause a detox-like reaction, where the body releases toxins to restore balance. These effects are typically short-lived. If you experience any discomfort, we recommend reducing your dosage to 1-2 drops and gradually increasing it as your body adjusts.

In saying all that, below is a summary from a 2017 study which explored the safety of BCP.

BCP is a natural compound called a terpene, found in many food plants, often used as a food additive due to its broad range of potential health benefits.  This study was conducted to evaluate the safety of BCP when consumed in different doses.

What Did the Study Do?

Researchers tested the effects of BCP on female Swiss mice over short (14-day) and longer (28-day) periods. They looked at various health indicators, including:

• Changes in body weight
• Food and water intake
• Blood and biochemical markers
• Organ weight after dissection
• Signs of oxidative stress
• Tissue health through histopathology

The study followed strict guidelines set by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

What Were the Findings?

The results were reassuring:

1. No Adverse Effects: There were no signs of illness or mortality in any of the mice, regardless of the dose or duration.
2. Stable Health Indicators: The mice showed no significant changes in body weight, food and water intake, or health markers in their blood and tissues compared to a control group.
3. High Dose Tolerance: Even at high doses of 300 and 2000 mg/kg, the mice did not exhibit any harmful effects.

What Does This Mean?

This study provides valuable insights into the safety of BCP.  The findings suggest that BCP is safe to consume even at relatively high doses, with no significant toxicity observed up to 2000 mg/kg of body weight.

Conclusion

BCP not only holds potential health benefits but also has a strong safety profile, making it a great addition to your wellness routine.

So there you have it, yes, some people may experience some negative effects due to their individual makeup, but overall BCP is known to be side effect free and a generally safe compound.
