Potent Extract Boosts Immune Function

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted September 8, 2024

Remember when CBD products were suddenly popping up everywhere, from trendy cafes to your local gas station?

Well, while the initial craze has settled, this powerful compound is still making waves in the health world.

And its latest trick could be a godsend for folks who need to beef up their immune system…

A new study published in the journal Nutrients confirmed that CBD, or cannabidiol, can boost sleep quality, which we’ve suspected for some time.

However, the research also revealed that CBD could be a powerful immune-boosting ally. The scientists found the extract increases natural killer cells, a crucial component of the immune system.

These specialized white blood cells act as your body’s rapid response team, always on the lookout for potential threats. They patrol your system, seeking out and destroying virus-infected cells and even certain types of cancer cells.

In fact, researchers suspect that better sleep and the increase in natural killer cells are interconnected.

We’ve long known that quality sleep is essential for a robust immune system. Now, it appears that CBD might be enhancing both simultaneously.

Maintaining a robust immune system may be more crucial now than ever before in our history, making CBD a valuable addition to your health toolkit.

Of course, the extract is no magic bullet. It should be PART of a comprehensive approach to wellness, including getting enough quality rest, eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, regular exercise, and stress management.

It’s easy to incorporate CBD into your regular routine. Here’s how…

• Start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed.
• Take it consistently for best results.
• Consider using it before bedtime to enhance sleep and immune function
• Always choose high-quality, third-party-tested CBD products.

This study offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential of CBD. It’s also a powerful reminder that sometimes nature provides us with solutions that can address multiple aspects of our health simultaneously.

So, whether you’re looking to improve your sleep, boost your immune system, or both, CBD might be worth a closer look.
