Does CBD Oil Lower Cholesterol?

August 24, 2020 · By: Sarah Campbell · In: Cannabis, Health, Hemp

Although controversial, CBD oil for pain management is all the rage these days. However, there’s more to it than being a miracle in treating chronic aches and pains. More and more people are starting to swear by and even preach the benefits of using CBD oil for overall health and wellness.

People who are taking it regularly claim to have seen positive effects on their heart health, metabolism, and even lower their cholesterol, that some have actually dubbed this as a “super supplement.” With all the good things that we are hearing about CBD oil, one question always comes to mind — does it really work?

What is CBD Oil and What are The Benefits?

CBD oil or oftentimes called “hemp oil” is extracted from cannabidiol that came from the controversial cannabis or marijuana plant. Unlike marijuana, which has hallucinogenic properties, cannabidiol does not. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — a component that makes marijuana a psychotropic drug. Without THC, CBD is not intoxicating, non-hallucinogenic, and is safe for daily use. CBD oil can help reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and even cancer-related symptoms.

Does CBD Oil Lower Cholesterol?

95 million Americans have total cholesterol levels that are higher than 200 mg/dL according to the CDC. Over half of which are already taking some form of medication to lower their cholesterol. Unfortunately, some medicines may have adverse side effects such as memory loss, developing neuropathy, and increases your risk of developing type-2 diabetes.

CBD oil is natural and is safe to take daily. An intriguing study published on by the National Institutes of Health suggests that when tested on mice, the results were positive and that 25% of the total cholesterol levels were reduced. Currently, there are no tests on humans yet.

Does CBD Oil Help With Blocked Arteries?

People who have high cholesterol are at a higher risk to develop heart disease and blocked arteries. While it is important to maintain an active lifestyle and eat better food, a recent study has shown promising signs that CBD oil can reduce the build-up of arterial plaque. This is good news for CBD oil users and those who wish to improve their heart health, the natural way.

Can CBD Lower Triglycerides?

Triglycerides are higher for people who eat more than calories than they burn. Having high triglycerides increases your risk of having a stroke, artery blockage, and heart disease. CBD, which is where CBD oil is extracted from is known to contain both omega 3 and 6, and polyunsaturated fats. These are good for the heart, promote lower cholesterol, and can lower triglyceride levels too.

Final Thoughts

So, going back to the question, “does it really work?” The short answer is, maybe. CBD oil is still a new thing but the science and studies behind it are really promising. It is natural and is deemed safe to use every day so there is no reason not to try it to improve your health and have a better quality of life.

This Soul Addict C🐝D Honey Mama Manuka Face Mask rocks!
You can technically eat it. And it doubles as a sugar face scrub when you’re ready to rinse off!
It has ashwagandha, camu camu, peppermint oil, full-spectrum hemp, and coconut oil to help clear redness, boost collagen, prevent acne, brighten skin and more.
Loved the minty feeling, it perked me up for half an hour after washing it off, great for fatigue! 
My almost 40 year old skin was so soft and glowing afterwards. Will definitely use again ☀️
