Frequently Asked Questions:
BCP
Beta-Caryophyllene (BCP) is a common terpene four in cannabis and many other plants & herbs including black pepper and hops. Experiments have demonstrated effectiveness at the CB2 receptors involved in the regulation of pain, mood disorders, and anxiety. Our BCP products are sourced from organic hops grown in the USA.
What is beta-caryophyllene (BCP)?
BCP is a small aromatic essential oil found in at least 100 healthy foods and spices that we eat commonly like basil, cloves, oregano and hops.
At least 30 plants have high concentrations of BCP but the main source for it is hops or copaiba which is a rainforest tree from South America. Hemp contains only trace amounts of BCP.
The FDA has approved BCP as a food flavoring for general use and considers it safe.
There are several benefits. The most studied benefits reveal BCP helps control pain and inflammation.
BCP signals immune cells to decrease inflammatory substances and the number of cells inflammatory cells. It has other effects on pain receptors, regulating glucose and cholesterol. It also signals the endocannabinoid system at the CB2 receptors. And, caryophyllene has shown antibiotic and anti-cancer effects.
The topical form of BCP is highly concentrated and immediately absorbed locally and systemically into the body. The oral form of Liposomal BCP delivers enhanced absorption and distribution to all parts of the body including the immune system, brain, liver and fat tissue. The liposomal form does this by imitating a natural cell membrane that can be easily absorbed by the body.
There have been thousands of studies that have been done on animals or cell cultures showing the benefits of BCP. But there have only been a few studies done in humans of a topical product. However, a recent clinical trial of this product was performed on 50 individuals. They reported improved symptoms for pain, allergies, stomach, attitude, sleep, energy, vision, relief of headache, dental pain.
In less than 5% of patients LBCP was associated with skin irritation, headache, diarrhea, upset stomach. In most cases the users continued using LBCP because of the exceptional benefits they were receiving.
The topical formula is used by applying five drops to an area of pain or the back of the hands. The liposomal formula is taken 1 mL twice a day with or without food. In addition the liposomal formula can be applied to painful areas on the skin or in the mouth.
