What is cannabidiol?

If you’ve been visiting health stores or websites recently, you’ve probably seen advertisements for cannabidiol (CBD) at some stage, but what is cannabidiol?

There is no shortage of claims made by some companies, particularly in the dietary supplement industry – but getting a prescription from a doctor for a CBD medicinal preparation, rather than a food supplement can require the patience and tenacity that most mere mortals don’t have. This article will take a brief look at what is cannabidiol, why it’s so popular, its potential, and why it isn’t as easy to obtain as many think it should be.

Sativa Group Plc (NEX:SATI) is the UK’s leading quoted CBD Wellness and medicinal cannabis group with five operating subsidiaries. Goodbody Botanicals provides CBD products online and to retail markets including pharmacies, wellness stores and grocers. Goodbody Wellness is a high-street retail brand with dedicated CBD Wellness stores providing a premium shopping experience to consumers. Tessellate Collective is a direct-selling network marketing platform servicing consumers at home. Phytovista laboratories provides independent testing of CBD products to both external customers and fellow Group businesses. Sativa Grow holds a Controlled Drug licence and cultivates cannabis plants to fulfill its partnership agreement with King’s College London to research the impact of cannabinoids on inflammation and respiratory conditions.
