Keoni CBD Gummies claim to feature full-spectrum CBD, which means they also contain other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids present in the hemp plant. Because Keoni’s CBD blend is extracted directly from the hemp plant and further isolated and tested to ensure it doesn’t contain THC, it actually seems to be a broad-spectrum blend per industry standards.
The human body naturally produces compounds called endocannabinoids, which are very similar to the cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, says Bridget Williams, M.D., a board-certified family physician and the CEO at Green Harvest Health in Pickerington, Ohio. Such compounds help achieve homeostasis in the body, playing a role in a variety of functions, such as sleep, mood, appetite, memory and fertility, says Dr. Williams.
Over time, genetics, stress and lifestyle choices can cause us to become deficient in these compounds, leading to what some researchers are calling endocannabinoid deficiency disorder, according to a theory introduced by Ethan Russo M.D., director of research and development at the International Cannabis and Cannabinoids Institute . Symptoms like anxiety and insomnia may indicate an unbalanced endocannabinoid system, says Dr. Williams.
“CBD can help restore our endocannabinoids, repair receptors and thus help restore balance via the endocannabinoid system,” says Dr. Williams. In fact, research suggests CBD can improve anxiety and depression, pain and inflammation, and other medical conditions, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy .
“I don’t usually use CBD as part of a general wellness routine for happy, healthy people because I assume they have properly functioning endocannabinoid systems,” says David Berger, M.D., a board-certified pediatrician at Wholistic Pediatrics and Family Care in Tampa, Florida. However, he says he utilizes CBD frequently with patients who have mental and behavioral health issues, seizures, movement disorders and hyper-inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
