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 …
Terpenes in Cannabis Show Promise for Treating Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms, Finds Study
A new study published in Phytomedicine finds that non-psychoactive compounds found in Cannabis sativa, specifically terpenes in essential oil form, may help reduce symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), including pain, motor impairment and mood-related issues. Researchers from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and the University of Florence examined the effects of cannabis-derived …
CBD and Sodium Propionate Enema Reduced Colitis Severity in New Study
A recent study published in Journal of Cannabis Research found that a rectal enema combining cannabidiol (CBD) and sodium propionate reduced disease severity in mice with ulcerative colitis, performing better than either treatment used on its own. Researchers from Tel Aviv University examined the experimental treatment in a murine model of dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis, …
Survey: Vast Majority of Veterinarians in Portugal Report Using CBD for Pets, High Satisfaction Across Multiple Conditions
A survey published in the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition by researchers from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro finds that CBD is widely used among small animal veterinarians in Portugal, particularly for dogs and cats, with many reporting positive outcomes across a range of conditions.
Study: Novel Starch-Based Delivery System Dramatically Boosts CBD Absorption, Shows Anti-Cancer Effects in Lung Cells
New research published in the Journal of Future Foods finds that a starch-based delivery system may significantly improve how cannabidiol (CBD) is absorbed by the body, while also demonstrating notable anti-cancer activity in lung cancer cells.
National Institute on Aging Study Finds Cannabinoid Drug Improved Insulin Sensitivity in Men
A new study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism by researchers from the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health found that the cannabinoid-related drug nabilone increased insulin sensitivity in a small group of healthy men, while a higher dose of a CB1 receptor blocker had the opposite effect.
Study Finds Powder-Based CBD Formulation Dramatically Improves Stability Over Oil
According to a study being published in the August issue of the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, and published online ahead of print by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, how cannabidiol (CBD) is formulated plays a major role in how well it holds up over time, with powder-based systems significantly outperforming traditional oil …
