In recent years, CBD has become a popular topic of discussion. Researchers have explored its potential benefits for various health conditions. One emerging area of interest is in CBD and it’s potential to promote longevity and healthy aging.
By Greg Montoya
A recent study conducted with Zebrafish provides exciting news for the scientific community. It suggests that CBD may have potential therapeutic benefits for a variety of conditions. The research indicates that the cannabinoid could help protect against neurodegenerative diseases. These include Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as anxiety, depression, and inflammation.
CBD Can Help Reduce Neuron Death by 85%
Researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil tested the ability of cannabidiol (CBD) to protect Zebrafish neurons from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. The researchers tested a small dose of CBD on the neurons of the fish and observed a significant protective effect. The CBD seemed to block the action of the harmful free radicals, protecting the neurons from damage and reducing their death by up to 85%.
Studies Reveal “Therapeutic Effectiveness” of CBD
Additionally, the team noted that their results were similar to those seen in studies conducted with mice and other animal species. They concluded that the findings of their study supported the “therapeutic effectiveness” of CBD and suggested further investigations into its potential applications. The results of this study are exciting and may provide a better understanding of how CBD works within the human body.
As more research is conducted with Zebrafish, scientists may be able to uncover more potential therapeutic benefits of CBD, which could prove to be a valuable natural treatment option.
Other Studies and Research Results for CBD and Longevity…
Following are more details regarding some of the potential benefits of CBD for promoting longevity and healthy aging. These are based on additional scientific studies and research.
1 – Reduced Inflammation
One of the main ways CBD may promote longevity is by reducing inflammation. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can contribute to a range of health conditions, including arthritis, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.
Research indicates that CBD may help reduce inflammation by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating immune system function, pain perception, and inflammation.
For example, a 2015 study published in the journal Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry found that CBD reduced inflammation in the brains of mice with neuroinflammation.
2 – Prevention of Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress is another factor that can contribute to aging and age-related diseases. It occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals which are produced naturally in the body, and antioxidants, which neutralize free radicals.
Research suggests that CBD may help protect against oxidative stress by acting as an antioxidant. In a 2011 study published in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine, researchers found that CBD had potent antioxidant properties and was able to protect against oxidative damage in neurons.
3 – Improved Sleep Quality
Sleep is essential for good health, and research suggests that it may play a role in promoting longevity. CBD may be beneficial for improving sleep quality, which could contribute to better overall health and a longer lifespan.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine learned that CBD improved sleep in people suffering from chronic pain. Another study published in the journal Medicines in 2019 discovered that CBD improved the sleep quality of participants with anxiety.
While more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of CBD for promoting longevity, it’s obvious that CBD has tremendous healing potential.*

CBD and THC come from the same plant, cannabis. This is a very special and unique plant that has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. Cannabinoids, the active ingredients in cannabis, are responsible for the plant’s therapeutic effects. These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which involves several physiological processes, including pain management, inflammation, appetite, and mood.
by Greg Montoya
CBD and THC are two of the most well-known and researched compounds in the cannabis plant. CBD is an important cannabinoid known for its medical benefits; while THC is the cannabinoid responsible for the “high” that people experience when they use cannabis – THC is also very effective in helping with many medical conditions.
And combining CBD with THC creates synergistic advantages that can be very effective in helping to combat the effects of various medical conditions. These include for example: pain, multiple sclerosis, seizures, and sleep disorders.
Benefits of CBD
CBD offers a vast variety of health benefits, including reducing anxiety, relieving pain, and improving sleep. CBD oil is thought to work by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system; which regulates a number of functions that include:
Sleep
Appetite
Pain
Reduced symptoms of PTSD
Immune system response
And More!
It also has shown to potentially help with conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Benefits of THC
THC is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis which can help address a variety of conditions that include:
Pain
Nausea
Muscle spasms
Appetite loss
Other potential benefits of THC include its ability to relieve fatigue, improve sleep, and reduce anxiety.
9 Advantages of Combining These 2 Cannabinoids
By interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, CBD and THC have shown to work together to reduce inflammation. The combination of these2 cannabinoidsis even more effective in treating certain medical conditions than either compound alone.
CBD helps to offset the psychoactive effects of THC, while THC enhances the medicinal properties of CBD. This powerful combination provides a versatile and potent tool for natural healing; a one-two punch for various conditions and ailments, including the following:
1) Pain Relief
A study in 2016 found that the combination was much more effective in reducing pain than either compound alone. The mixture effectively helps with several chronic pain conditions, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia.
2) Nausea
The effects of THC on nausea are well-documented. Combining THC with CBD is highly effective for eliminating nausea, even when other medications have failed. The combination is especially effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
3) Anxiety
CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that is known for its anxiety-reducing benefit. THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that gives users the feeling of being high. When these two compounds are combined, they create a synergistic effect that has been shown to work well for anxiety relief.
4) Appetite Control
The combination is a great aid for appetite control. Cannabis is well-known for its ability to increase appetite. This ability is primarily due to the presence of THC, which binds to the CB1 receptors in the brain and stimulates appetite.
However, THC in higher dosages can also cause anxiety and paranoia, which can offset the positive effects of increased appetite. CBD, on the other hand, does not bind to CB1 receptors and does not stimulate appetite. However, CBD has been shown to reduce anxiety and improve mood, which can enhance the positive effects of THC and help offset any adverse effects. Together, they can help you get the benefits of appetite control without the negative consequences.
5) Improved Sleep
When used together, they can produce potent sedative effects that can improve sleep and help treat insomnia. It has been reported that the CBD and THC combination provides less daytime sleepiness. CBD with THC can also improve sleep quality by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
6) Healthy Gut
CBD promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, while THC has been shown to reduce inflammation. Combined they offer a unique solution for restoring and maintaining a healthy gut.
7) Reduced Stress and Anxiety
CBD and THC can effectively reduce stress and improve human cognition. This combination is the most effective for stress relief.
8) Help Reduce Seizure Frequency & Severity
It may help reduce seizure frequency and severity in people with treatment-resistant epilepsy. THC with CBD is not a cure for epilepsy, but anecdotally it has been shown to help some people manage their condition.
9) Improves Quality of Life
CBD with THC have a synergistic effect that enhances the medicinal properties of both compounds. Ultimately, together, CBD and THC can encourage a happier and healthier life by reducing anxiety, improving sleep, controlling pain, and stimulating appetite.
With all these benefits, why not consider testing these combined cannabinoids to see if they can help improve your mood, well-being, and quality of life?
A Good Place to Start Experiencing all These Benefits…
When used together “responsibly” both CBD and THC can be safe and effective. If you are interested in trying the CBD/THC combination, there are several options, including:
Oils
Tinctures
Edibles
Topicals
Capsules
And More!
In addition to the CBD that you may already be taking, consider optionally adding trying NEWYOU’s Delta-8 THC gummies (derived from legal hemp).*
These specially formulated gummies have been nano-amplified for maximum absorption, and then infused into carefully selected Organic Ingredients…
…Check it out below to see if you can benefit from any of the many advantages that this special cannabinoid has to offer when combined with CBD!
In closing, as with any type of substance that provides these types of benefits, there are always those who may think that more is better. So, it’s important to keep in mind that everything we consume (e.g., vitamins, minerals, and even water) has a tolerance.
For example, we are told that a glass of wine is good for us due to its antioxidant properties. This is true to some degree. However, drinking the whole bottle in one sitting is counter productive… Similar applies to THC.
That said, we recommend that if you decide to add THC to your CBD protocol, start responsibly by micro-dosing at first. Then adjust your dosage up or down depending on your own individual results. Also, we do not recommend driving or operating machinery when using any type of THC.
Research Shows CBD May be a Power Player in Defending the Immune System… Good News when it comes to using NEWYOU Products and Staying Healthy during the Flu, Cold and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection) Season!
by Greg Montoya
Whether it’s a flu, common cold or something more virulent like COVID-19, science is showing that it’s not always the virus that proves fatal. But, rather the body’s own immune response that produces the marked symptoms of infection.
Recently, NEWYOU’s Pualani Armstrong, a CBD Research and Development industry professional, answered some questions during an interview about the valuable role CBD plays when it comes to our Endocannabinoid and immune systems.
Wintertime Immune System Concerns!
The headlines in the news are often scary, very real and everyone should take precautions suggested by federal, state and local health authorities.
NEWYOU: We know every winter, people are always concerned about the next type of virus or flu, but it really begs the question:
Can CBD help optimize the immune system?
What does that look like as far as our health is concerned?
Before we dive into that can you take a few minutes to explain to us in layman’s terms how viruses work?
ARMSTRONG: Absolutely! Well, this is a very exciting time. There has been a lot of research coming out regarding the Endocannabinoid System, the immune system, cannabinoids and specifically, plant derived phytocannabinoids like CBD and their therapeutic potential against pathogens like viruses.
How Viruses Work & Your Immune System
It’s really helpful to understand how viruses work in the first place before we discuss our immune response and further how the Endocannabinoid system plays a role regarding your immune function.
Viruses are truly fascinating tiny life forms and they are one of, if not, the most abundant life forms on the planet. In fact, I recently learned that there are many more viruses than there are bacteria.
They are pretty much everywhere and are unavoidable. Viruses by themselves don’t have their own cellular bodies, so they’re kind of like little genetic syringes that contain their own DNA and they’re looking for a host cell that they can inject their DNA into in order to replicate, proliferate, and ultimately survive.
For some more virulent viruses like the Coronavirus this hostile takeover can actually happen very quickly inside the human body, and many times the rate of replication in the body can outpace the immune system’s response.
NEWYOU: We’ve heard that in many cases it’s not the virus itself that causes the most damage, but it’s actually our immune system’s response to the virus that results in the underlying health problems?
ARMSTRONG: That’s correct. In many instances it’s our own body’s immune response that causes the potentially fatal secondary effects and the common symptoms of infection. Modern science is still trying to understand the many complexities of the immune system and immune response. We are starting to see that in addition to how quickly the virus can replicate versus how fast your body can respond there is another really important factor to consider when it comes to how you will be affected by a viral infection.
Importance of the Immune Response
It’s often the strength of the immune response that determines how well we will fare against a virus. So, of course, someone who already has a compromised immune system is going to be more susceptible to viral infection and secondary complications than someone whose immune system is functioning at optimal levels.
But whether or not you become really sick, deathly ill or simply get a tickle in your throat is very much determined by how fast your immune system can respond and to what extent.
Sometimes, however, the pathogen can actually trigger your own body’s immune response to be so destructive that in addition to going after unhealthy viral cells it actually starts to destroy healthy cells and healthy tissues which can lead to a lot of problems.
NEWYOU: What you’re saying here is that this could result in an autoimmune response by the body?
ARMSTRONG: Yes, autoimmunity is when your own body starts attacking itself. When this happens the body really struggles to move into a state of healing. An overemphasized immune response is where things can really start to fall apart, especially when you come up against a really hostile virus like Coronavirus.
Of course, you want the full force of your immune system engaged; your T-cells, white blood cells and macrophages. But sometimes your immune system can actually overreact and incorrectly differentiate between the good cells and the bad cells.
It sounds like it’s important to manage the immune response, so it’s strong enough, but not too strong, when the body is confronted with a virus. Now, it’s important for people reading this to know that we now know that the immune system is regulated by the Endocannabinoid System. Some people may not be familiar with the Endocannabinoid System.
NEWYOU: Can you tell us a little bit about that and why it is vitally important as it relates to fighting off viruses like the Coronavirus and others?
ARMSTRONG: As far as discoveries gothe Endocannabinoid System is a fairly new discovery. So, we are just now starting to see more and more research coming out that indicates how critical this particular regulatory system is.
Understanding The Endocannabinoid System
We’ve heard of the endocrine system and the immune system, etc., but the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is what connects them all together and helps them talk so to speak. It regulates and balances many of the body’s core processes including the immune response, communication between cells, appetite, metabolism, memory, pain, and more.
The ECS is based on cell signaling and communication. Throughout the body, we have specific receptor sites called CB1 and CB2 that respond directly to cannabinoids. These two receptor sites are found on many different types of cells throughout the body including immune cells.
What is Homeostasis?
When they meet, the cannabinoids and their receptors form what’s like a lock and key. Ultimately, the result is a cascade of processes that allows the body to maintain a state of homeostasis…a big fancy word that means balance.
Basically, the Endocannabinoid System exists to help regulate, oversee and make sure that all the other bodily processes and functions are happening as they’re supposed to. It ensures that your body is balanced and healthy.
Now, back to the immune response. You don’t want it to be too strong, or too weak…
This is where the Endocannabinoid System seems to come into play according to research. Our immune response has everything to do with how dangerous a virus will be to any person. Viruses are eager to live and will do anything they can to survive. In some cases, will even turn off and override our own natural immune response, so that our immune system doesn’t respond the way it’s supposed to.
Don’t Make Your Body a Home for Viruses
In something like Coronavirus the virus actually makes its home in the lungs and respiratory tract, resulting in a ton of inflammation. Secondary complications in the form of respiratory illnesses as the body attempts to fight the infection. New research is showing that the Endocannabinoid System working together with the immune system is one of the many ways that our body can protect itself from viruses and other pathogens.
The body naturally produces endocannabinoids that bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptor sites located on immune cells. Fortunately for us, we are able to help boost the body’s natural store of cannabinoids by supplementing with phytocannabinoids or plant cannabinoids like CBD that can act just like your natural endocannabinoids do and engage the receptor sites on our immune cells.
NEWYOU: Please remind us again exactly how CBD works with the Endocannabinoid System to influence the immune system?
ARMSTRONG: Sure,earlier I mentioned that the Endocannabinoid System is all about maintaining balance. It’s really good at overseeing that communication between all the other systems in the body to know if something is out of balance, and if so it begins to modulate and bring everything back towards optimal balance and function.
Fighting a Viral Infection – Influence on the Immune System
When we’re fighting a viral infection, we really do want a very strong immune response so our body can respond quickly with its fighter cells. But, simultaneously you want to avoid an autoimmune response that is too strong that would result in killing healthy cells and quite possibly actually killing us in the process. The Endocannabinoid System makes sure this doesn’t happen.
New research is showing that CBD in particular is powerful in supporting immune function and specifically, can directly influence the immune system and promote antiviral activity by modulating immune responses helping to determine what is too strong of a response and what is too weak.
Controlling the Strength of the Immune Response is Critical!
Modulating is a fancy science word, but it really means the ability to influence or control the strength of the immune response. Like other adaptogens, CBD can work in either direction to help restore balance. It’s the reason why CBD and the Endocannabinoid System are so powerful when they are combined.
Inflammation is one of the clear signs of an immune response and we’re seeing with Coronavirus in particular that the inflammation of the respiratory passages is especially dangerous and possibly fatal. CBD can help the Endocannabinoid and immune systems work together to deliver the proper immune response thus helping to control dangerous inflammation levels. This is really a key piece of information especially when it comes to fighting dangerous pathogens.
Inflammation is Directly Related to Disease and the Immune Response
You mentioned inflammation. Most people are familiar with inflammation andhave heard that inflammation is a precursor to many disease states.
NEWYOU: Does CBD’s ability to target inflammation help it determine what is a sufficient amount for the immune system?
ARMSTRONG:Many of us live with high levels of subchronic inflammation simply due to our diet, environment or lifestyle and that can be really taxing on our immune systems. To help people understand inflammation a little better I like to use a visual…
I grew up in the Virgin Islands where I was out in the sun most of the time. I’m very fair skinned and prone to getting a sunburn. A sunburn is a visible example of an inflammatory immune response. When you get too much sun your body is triggered to have an immune response to deal with the damaged cells and that immune response is the inflammation you see and feel in the form of heat, pain, and redness. Sometimes, there’s even the peeling of the skin, which means that those cells were specifically targeted and killed by programmed cell death because they were not healthy enough to live properly. This is your body’s way of saying that there was significant cellular damage.
CBD, Inflammation & Your Immune System
What’s so special about CBD and inflammation is that because it is able to modulate the immune system and immune response it is also an incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory agent. It’s also really special because unlike other chemicals and drugs, CBD has the ability to work in two directions, to upregulate or downregulate other processes as necessary making it super responsive to the needs of the body.
This means that you’re not going to fully see CBD working in a linear fashion like you can with traditional pain-relieving anti-inflammatory agents. Because it lessens the effects of something or increases something, it can turn one process off or it can turn something on. It’s always sort of fluctuating in between to find that state of balance.
What the research is showing is that CBD is basically coordinating all these other cellular processes. Meaning that it’s adaptive
NEWYOU: So what you’re saying is everybody’s experience with CBD may differ because it’s so adaptive.
ARMSTRONG:Anecdotally, that’s what we are seeing. Depending on your age, or the disease or condition you’re trying to help with CBD, responses can vary from person to person. I think the most important thing to remember is that one of CBD’s greatest features is its ability to restore balance.
Balance, or homeostasis, is unique to every single person and their own body’s needs and that determines the effect CBD will have. We found some amazing snippets of research that actually showed how differently the effects of CBD can be depending on what imbalance was.
CBD Effect on Cells
For example, when they introduced CBD to a healthy cell with low levels of inflammation the CBD didn’t really seem to do much to the inflammation levels, which is what you would expect. The cell was healthy and there wasn’t much inflammation. Then they introduced CBD to a healthy cell that had high levels of inflammation and the result was a reduction in the inflammation and the CBD had a very strong immune suppressive effect.
Finally, they took a cancer cell and introduced it to CBD and the results were actually increased inflammation, which seems counterintuitive but since inflammation is an immune response it means that the CBD was signaling to the immune system to respond in a more pronounced way. Which is pretty amazing because it shows how adaptogenic CBD can actually be.
But in general, when it comes to an immune response, CBD is actually very calming which is why it has such a profound anti-inflammatory effect. It is really going to kind of calm down and tone down the immune system.
NEWYOU: Besides helping to manage the immune response is there any other way CBD works with the immune system?
ARMSTRONG: The immune System is very complex, evolving over many years to handle new bugs, pathogens and foreign Invaders. While there’s still a lot of research that needs to be done concerning the Endocannabinoid System, immune function and CBD, we are seeing a lot of promise concerning the CBD’s effects on the immune system specifically when it comes to pathogens like viruses.
Unhealthy Infected Cells
What’s really interesting is that CBD appears to be able to selectively trigger cell death for unhealthy infected cells while leaving healthy cells alone. That is really profound because a lot of chemicals and drugs out there are kind of working on everything, so it’s just completely scorched earth. They get rid of everything.
It also appears that CBD can increase certain immune signaling molecules or decrease the secretion of these immune signaling molecules. If you need a more profound immune response, it can actually regulate how the cells are sending these sorts of chemical signals to each other.
Overally, the key to optimal immune function depends on maintaining a healthy Endocannabinoid system and the best thing we can do to guard ourselves against things like Coronavirus or common flus, colds or nasty bugs is to support our bodies by supplementing with vital phytocannabinoids like CBD.
One thing we can say for certain is that CBD definitely has a profound impact on the immune system and the research looks very promising. I only expect that we’re going to be hearing more about its positive benefits with each passing year.

Hops is actually a healthy botanical “cousin” to Cannabis.
Yet despite no other plant being as closely related to Cannabis as Hops, Cannabis has been the illegal black sheep of the family, while Hops has been the darling of the two as a key ingredient in beer brewing.
by Greg Montoya
The benefits of Hops are numerous. Here’s a few examples:
1) Helps Protect The Brain – Hops is rich in flavonoids, Xanthohumol (XN) being one of the most abundant. Increasing XN can dramatically help with neuroinflammation and can help slow down aging of the brain. It can also help with neuroinflammation due to its binding to GABA-A receptors and stabilization of calcium levels in the brain.
2) Helps Reduce Anxiety – Separately of GABA activity, XN can calm anxiety by inhibiting glutamic acid decarboxylase. For example, a 4 week clinical study using Hops supplementation showed a reduction in depression, anxiety and stress symptoms.
3) Helps Reduce Insomnia – Hops can help with insomnia by enhancing circadian rhythms. By stimulating melatonin receptors, Hops can help reduce body temperature, helping improve sleep.
4) Helps Reduce Obesity – XN can inhibit adipogenesis (increase fat cell death) and as a result can be helpful in preventing obesity. For example, in animal models being fed a high-fat diet with hop extract, XN showed a reduction in weight gain. XN has also shown to curb overeating, as well as reducing the accumulation of white fat.
5) Improves Mitochondrial Function – By reducing oxidative stress on the mitochondria, XN can stimulate mitochondrial function and metabolism.
6) Helps Control Diabetes – XN enhances the metabolism of glucose and uptake of glucose into cells. For example, in obese mice XN supplementation in high doses could reduce weight and increase glucose metabolism. By acting on the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), XN can even help prevent diabetes.
7) Enhances The Vascular System – Higher HDL cholesterol levels are associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis. By inhibiting cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and enhancing apolipoprotein E (ApoE) activity, XN may be able to increase HDL levels. For example, in Western-type diet-fed ApoE-deficient mice, XN was able to reduce plaque formation.
8) Protects The Gut – Hops can help to protects the gut. Tetrahydro iso-Alpha Acids (THIAA, which is found in Hops) can even help prevent leaky gut by increasing zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, two key tight junctions proteins.
9) Supports The Liver – Hops may help protect the liver from developing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Hops can protect the liver from oxidative stress and oxygen-deprived damage. XN inhibits the synthesis of triglycerides in the liver. It also produces some of its benefits on cholesterol synthesis in the liver by its ability to bind to the liver X receptor. This can also reduce liver scarring in animal models of Type 1 diabetes.
10) Improves Kidney Function – Flavonols in Hops may help with gout, as they can reduce uric acid levels.
11) Enhances The Skin – By reducing inflammation, Hops can improve:
Acne
Allergic contact dermatitis
Eczema
Melanoma
Skin Aging
Skin Infections
Skin Structure (collagens, elastin, and fibrillins)
Sun Protection
Wound Healing
12) Hyaluronic acid – (HA, found in Hops) promotes collagen synthesis, repairs/hydrates tissues, and helps prevents wrinkle formation.
13) Has Antimicrobial Properties – Hops has anti-microbial activity which can help prevent food poisoning.
14) Acts On The Immune System – Hops has immunosuppressive effects and may help with arthritis.
15) Protects Bones – Hops may help prevent bone disease including osteoporosis.
16) Effects Sex Organs and Hormones – XN can reduce growth of tissue in endometriosis. Hops can inhibit aromatase, an enzyme that converts androstenedione and estrone to estrogen. XN inhibits bone resorption (osteoclastogenesis) and collagen loss.
17) Helps With Thyroid Health – XN can stimulate the uptake of iodide in thyroid cells. XN can also reduce T4 levels.
Today, these two wonder plants are proving they have a lot more to offer than their noteworthy contributions to a buzz. And, although Hops like Cannabis contains CBD (Cannabinoid), a well-known non-psychoactive compound that naturally occurs in that plant and may offer some relief from:
Inflammation
Pain
Anxiety
Seizures
Sleep problems
And many other health issues
Additionally, there are other terpenes and phytonutrients in Hops that are equally as therapeutic in supporting the Endocannabinoid System.
Here are just a few of the ADDITIONAL Cannabis ingredients used in NEWYOU CBD products…
XANTHOHUMOL – An Antioxidant Powerhouse!
When it comes to antioxidant properties, it appears grapes don’t hold a candle to Hops thanks to a powerful prenylated flavonoid called xanthohumol. This amazing phytonutrient is said to be 200 times stronger than the highly regarded antioxidant resveratrol found in red wine.
Impressive for sure, but not many people realize Hops’ polyphenol activity is also higher than that of green tea according to some reports. Beyond being a powerful antioxidant, recent research on xanthohumol at Oregon State University shows it can “lower cholesterol, blood sugar and help prevent weight gain.”
Also, noteworthy research suggests xanthohumol has strong cancer fighting and HIV inhibiting properties, as well as neuroprotective benefits.
HUMULENE – Does a Body Good
When people think of Cannabis, they think of getting the “munchies”. It’s true that certain phytocannabinoids (THC and CBG) act as appetite stimulants. However, there are terpenes in Hops like Humulene that can actually suppress appetite.
Numerous studies have shown that Humulene significantly reduces hunger, which could make it appealing for those looking to lose a few pounds. Humulene also contains strong anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial in reducing systemic inflammation as noted in a 2007 study published in the European Journal of Pharmacology. This particular research found Humulene to be as effective as a popular steroidal anti-inflammatory called dexamethasone.
Used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, Humulene has a proven record of health benefits for a wide variety of issues.
8-PRENYLNARINGENIN (8-PN) – A Woman’s Best Friend
Another prenylated flavonoid found in Hops, 8-PN may offer a natural solution for women who are going through symptoms associated with menopause like hot flashes, low libido, moodiness and insomnia resulting from a decline in estrogen levels.
It’s one of the most potent phytoestrogens found to date, 50 times more potent than genistein in soy, and research indicates it helps women with relief from many menopausal symptoms.
Research on this incredible flavonoid shows it also has strong anti-diabetic potential and may play an important role in protecting against osteoporosis and certain cancers.
BETA-CARYOPHYLLENE – A Cannabinoid by Another Name
Beta-Caryophyllene, derived from Hops, is getting a lot of attention lately because of research showing its powerful benefits as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial compound and much, much more.
Simply google the benefits of Beta-Caryophyllene and you’ll see dozens of potential benefits that range from longevity to cardiovascular health. It’s a terpene, but researchers suggest it should be classified as a Cannabinoid because its properties are extremely similar.
Beta-Caryophyllene has been shown to specifically bind to the CB2 receptor, one of the main Cannabinoid receptors in the body’s Endocannabinoid System.
CAUTION – There Are “BREWSKI” Limitations!
While it would be nice to “drink in” all the benefits of Hops in a 6-pack of your favorite beer, unfortunately many of these powerful compounds are lost during the brewing process…

Americans spend big bucks on taking care of their pets, from…
Veterinary services,
Grooming, to
High-quality food and treats.
It’s a Whopping $60 Billion Market Each Year!
We love our pets, and we love giving them lots of TLC, “Tender Loving Care”.
So, let’s explore why Pet Owners are now enthusiastically looking at another important component to add to their pets’ health and well-being – CBD.

Why CBD for Pets? It Has Everything to do With the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
Some people look like their pets, it’s funny and sometimes true. However, you share more in common with your pet than you might think. Like you, animals have an Endocannabinoid System. Therefore, they can benefit from Cannabinoids in many of the same ways that people do.
The Endocannabinoid System, often referred to with another three letter acronym, ECS, is one of the most important physiologic systems involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors (CB1 Nervous System and CB2 Immune System) are found throughout the body. These include the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells.
With receptors in so many places in the body, research shows they play a significant role in regulating many bodily functions in you and your pet like:
Sleep
Weight loss
Mood
Appetite
Immunity
Pain
Cognition
And more!
So, when your pet is feeling anxious or has some aging aches and pains just like you, CBD may help them like it helps you.
What the Science Says
Animals continue to suffer from many of the same health issues that we do like anxiety, pain, skin sensitivity, seizures, obesity and more. While most pet owners treat their pets like family, many of them have no idea that their pets can benefit from CBD.
Emerging research shows it can! According to one on-going study being done at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, Phytocannabinoids like CBD can reduce anxiety, pain, and seizure disorders, as well as reduce aggression.
Another clinical study completed at Cornell and submitted to the 2017 American College of Veterinary Surgeons Summit, indicated that as little as 2 mgs of CBD oil twice daily increased the comfort and activity in dogs with osteoarthritis.
So, when it comes to CBD and your pets, the science is welcomed news.
Potential Benefits of CBDfor Pets:
Anxiety – CBD is thought to ease nervousness and provide calmness.
Pain – Studies have shown that CBD helps reduce joint inflammation which relieves osteoarthritis aches and pains in pets.
Skin Sensitivity – CBD may help with noses, paw pads and toe sores which can get irritated, dry, and sensitive.
Seizures – CBD may help prevent nerves in the brain from firing too much by lowering the excessive number of electrolytes believed to have a role in seizure conditions.
Sleep – Chronic pain, environmental stress and anxiety can all have negative impacts on your pet’s ability to sleep. As with people, CBD may also help your Furry Friends with getting to sleep.
Get the Right CBD Product for Your Pets
When it comes to finding the right Cannabidiol (CBD) products for your Pets there’s just a couple things to keep in mind:
For daily use, many pet owners are looking for CBD products that are THC-free.
They also want CBD products that are high quality.
And, are easy to add to their pet’s diets.
NEWYOU’s DROPS for PETS could potentially help all of these conditions and more:
It’s so easy to use – just squirt it into your pet’s water daily!
One-stop solution.
The product is THC-FREE.

Hemp Seeds and Hemp Seed Oil – What’s the Difference?
There are many terms that get thrown around when you’re first learning the in’s and out’s of hemp seed oil products.
by Greg Montoya
When you go to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, there are lots of products containing hemp seeds and hemp seed oils. For example, you can buy hemp seeds for salads, or soaps and lotions containing hemp seed oil, as well as good ole’ hemp oil to cook with.
But the garden variety of hemp oil you see in most products comes from the industrial hemp plant; and the oil from this type of hemp is cold-pressed from the seeds to extract the oil.
Not to worry, here are some of the basics to help you navigate this new ground.
Hemp seed oil contains ZERO cannabinoids, as there’s NO CBD and NO THC. So, you won’t get the healthy benefits of CBD.
However:
– Hemp seeds are very nutritious and high in protein,
– The oil is high in unsaturated fats,
– Both the seeds and oil are high in antioxidants, and
– They contain the perfect ratio of Omegas 3, 6 and 9.
So from a healthy living standpoint, it’s a great addition to your shopping list!
CBD – Phytocannabinoid Rich Hemp Oil – The “Motherload” of…
This is where you can get a motherload of CBD!
CBD oil is extracted from a phytocannabinoid-rich (PCR) flowering strain of the industrial hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa) known as PCR Hemp oil.
NEWYOU only uses PCR Hemp. Why? Because:
It’s extremely high in Cannabidiol,
It contains NO negligible amounts of THC (less than 0.3%), and
These strains of plants also have a very high concentration of CBD.
Cannabis Sativa (PCR Hemp) does NOT “bud” like its high THC counterpart, Cannabis Indica. Cultivators do not grow PCR Hemp to produce buds, so it lacks the primary component that forms the marijuana high. Instead, they grow it in compliance with the Farm Bill Act to produce higher concentrations of Cannabidiol Oil.
CBD oil can then be mixed with hemp seed oil, MCT, avocado or other types of carrier oils, to activate further bioavailability and digestion. CBD oil-containing products come in many different forms: tinctures, capsules, salves, serums, food and beverages.
4 KEY Components You’ll Want to be Familiar With When Talking About CBD Oil:
1) Full-Spectrum CBD Oil
Full-Spectrum CBD Oil retains all the original concentrations of cannabinoids, essential oils and terpenes as found in Nature. Full-Spectrum CBD Oil has some filtration and distillation to remove undesirable components… It’s as close to raw as you can get.
2) CBD Isolate
The most pure form of CBD is Isolate. The purification process removes all the ancillary terpenes and other phytocannabinoids and isolates CBD into solid crystals that are colorless, tasteless and odorless.
NEWYOU goes beyond standard CBD Isolate by using a Nano-Amplified™ technology to reduce the CBD isolate particle size into nano-size water molecules, making our CannaBD™ not only water soluble, but more bioavailable and potent than competing products on the market.
3) Full-Spectrum vs CBD Isolate: What’s the Difference?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is just one of the many exogenous Cannabinoids found in Cannabis Sativa or Industrial Hemp. There are hundreds of other cannabinoids, phytocannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids found in Hemp; and when you select a Full-Spectrum version you are getting all these beneficial compounds in the same ratios as God intended.
Experts Believe a Full-Spectrum Version Provides an“Entourage Effect”
Simply, this effect occurs when all the components of the hemp plant work synergistically together to multiply, enhance and activate each other, thus increasing the health benefits and improving the functioning of your Endocannabinoid System.
Full-Spectrum oils tend to cost more than their CBD isolate counterparts as they contain all the plant compounds. NEWYOU offers a Full-Spectrum Canna-Active product called CB2 Plus.
CBD Isolate is Just That—The Isolated CBD Compound
While CBD from Cannabis Sativa or Industrial Hemp, may have some negligible amounts of THC (less than 0.3%), when CBD is isolated any and all trace amounts are removed, as well as other ancillary plant materials, giving you the “purest” form of CBD available!
Isolating CBD Yields Higher Concentrations of CBD Using Smaller Amounts
Many CBD enthusiasts and health professionals believe CBD isolates amplify the healing properties of the Cannabinoid. That’s why NEWYOU uses CBD isolates in many of our products.
4) Cannabis Oil
When you hear the words “Medical Marijuana” this is where cannabis oil comes into play. Cannabis oil is extracted from the Marijuana plant called Cannabis Indica. It contains high levels of THC or Tetrahydrocannabinols, the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological or “psychoactive” effects. This type of oil also has very low levels of CBD.
Cannabis oil is regulated in most states, either as medical marijuana or recreational marijuana.
The Bottom Line…
Just remember Hemp is not “Marijuana” and Hemp Seed Oil and CBD oil come in many shapes and forms.
So be an educated consumer and enjoy the MANY wellness benefits that hemp and CBD have to offer… Your Endocannabinoid System (ECS) will thank you!
And if you’re looking for the best Full-Spectrum CBD Oil on the market that will give you all the many benefits of the Hemp Plant and more, there’s no need to look further than NEWYOU’s CB2 Plus, The Gold Standard of CBD Oils!
