Buying CBD for motivation: how does it work?
You may be wondering how a molecule extracted from the hemp plant can affect your levels of motivation and focus? A bit of science…
Some studies suggest that CBD and other cannabinoids from the hemp plant (excluding THC) act on the reward system (or circuit) in the brain. This system is closely linked to motivation, as it controls the secretion of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, the hormone of pleasure, happiness and motivation.
On the other hand, the action of CBD, CBG, CBN and CBC on the endocannabinoid system regulates the release of anandamide, a molecule that also acts on motivation and the reward circuit< /strong>. A priori, CBD can boost anandamide levels in the brain, which could potentially improve motivation and remedy low morale.
It should also be noted that the soothing and anti-stress effects of CBD help to rebalance the mood and fight against the blues, which indirectly translates into an improvement in your motivation and your ability to concentrate at daily!
Note: According to several studies, the hemp variety Cannabis L. Sativa seems to be more effective in boosting motivation, concentration and memory compared to hemp Cannabis Indica, more associated with anti-stress, anti-anxiety and pain-relieving effects.
How do CBD products boost your cognitive functions?
Cannabidiol (CBD) interacts with your endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors and molecules that play a key role in regulating various physiological processes such as mood (including motivation), appetite, sensation pain, immune function.
The ECS system is made up of two main receptors, 'CB 1' and 'CB 2', which are found in various areas of the brain and body. Empirical studies have shown that CBD modulates the activity of receptors of the endocannabinoid system to boost cognitive functions.
The hypothesis adopted by the various studies is as follows : CBD would reinforce the activity of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which plays a key role in your memory capacity, your concentration , your ability to learn and your motivation. Obviously, cannabinoids like CBD, CBC, CBG and CBN promote the release of acetylcholine in the hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in memory formation.
In addition, CBD may also have a beneficial effect on the brain's ability to form new neurons, a process known as neurogenesis. Studies have shown that CBD can promote neurogenesis in the hippocampus, which can positively impact memory and learning.
The anti-inflammatory effects of CBD also come into the equation, as inflammation is implicated in cognitive decline. By limiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to brain inflammation (encephalitis).
Full spectrum, broad spectrum, CBD isolate… which hemp spectrum to regain motivation?
Several criteria can be used to classify our CBD products and, more broadly, legal hemp products. However, the "spectrum" criterion is the most commonly used, especially when choosing CBD oils and flowers on our online store:
- "Full Spectrum" CBD Product: These products contain all the cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, CBC, CBD, no THC) and terpenes from the hemp plant ;
- "Broad spectrum" CBD product: These products contain the majority of the cannabinoids (excluding THC) and terpenes of cannabis. In practice, so-called "broad spectrum" CBD products are "full spectrum" products that have lost some of their components in the transformation process (CBG or CBN for example);
- "CBD isolate" type hemp product: As the name suggests, these products contain only pure CBD.
To boost your motivation, your concentration and your memory capacity, we recommend that you opt for CBD products of the "full spectrum" or "broad spectrum" type to enjoy the benefits of the " circle". Indeed, when the cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN and CBC) of the hemp plant act collectively, their action on the endocannabinoid system is increased tenfold!
Is CBD legal in France?
Products that contain cannabidiol (CBD) and/or cannabinoids (CBG, CBN and CBC) are strictly regulated by European decree n° 639 – 2014. In France, only hemp products with a THC level less than 0.2% may be freely marketed. For the legislator, this almost zero rate guarantees the absence of any psychotropic effect.
