Antioxidants are compounds naturally
made by your body and acquired through diet to stop or slow the
oxidation degeneration of cells in the body. An example would be a
browning apple, the oxidation decomposes the cells. Many typically
know that adding lemon juice to the apple as an antioxidant slows
down the browning process. Cannabis has been shown to have powerful
antioxidant properties.
The science behind the oxidation
occurs with free radical damage in which paired electrons are
unpaired making an atom or molecule unstable. The unstable molecule
creates other molecules around it to become unstable as well, leading
to a chain reaction of mutations and decomposition.
Antioxidants work in many ways to
stop the chain reaction of damage, making it important to consume it
in many forms and ways. Some antioxidants stop the damage before
happening, while others stop the damage that is occurring.
Cannabidiol (CBD) in Cannabis has been found to be 30-50% more
effective than the antioxidants Vitamin C or E.
Cannabis, especially in the form of
cannabidiol (CBD) is a powerful antioxidant that is an
anti-inflammatory agent, and goes beyond to suppress the chemical
that creates inflammation. Cannabidiol has been shown in tests to
reduce tumor cells while not harming normal healthy cells. It has
also been shown to have neuro-protective properties in which it stops
damage in nerve cells. This protective barrier has results in
reducing seizures in patients. Studies have shown that for brain
injuries, cannabidiol repairs the nerve cells within the brain.
Applied topically it has been found to stop the very contagious MRSA
virus that has been very resistant to normal antibiotics.
