Researchers found this extract exhibited …
Study: Marijuana Extracts Found More Effective and Better Tolerated Than Dronabinol in Older Adults With Chronic Pain
New research published in the Journal of Pain Research found that full spectrum cannabidiol (CBD)-dominant marijuana extracts provide stronger pain relief and fewer side effects than dronabinol (synthetic THC) in older adults. The study was conducted using data from the German Pain e-Registry, analyzing 968 patients aged 65 and older who were dealing with chronic …
Study: Hemp Seed Protein Patties Closer to Beef Than Other Plant-Based Alternatives in Nutrition, Safety and Flavor
A new study published in Food Chemistry found that patties made with hemp seed protein may come closer to beef than other plant-based alternatives when it comes to nutrition, safety and flavor. Researchers from Guangdong Medical University and Changchun University of Chinese Medicine compared hemp seed protein meat patties to other plant-based protein patties as …
Study: Full-Spectrum Cannabis Oil Improves Liver Function and Reduces Disease Markers in Fatty Liver Model
A new study published in Frontiers in Nutrition found that a full-spectrum cannabis oil may help reverse key markers of fatty liver disease. The research examined metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition tied to fat buildup in the liver, oxidative stress, and early fibrosis. Using female Wistar rats fed a sucrose-rich diet, researchers …
