Why Natural Cannabinoids?
Natural cannabinoid products, like Natural Natural THCV, are made from phytocannabinoids created by an enzyme inside the plant, so 100% of the time you get the same molecules and there is no uncertainty.
The Difference Between Natural and Synthetic THCV
Natural Process
Natural cannabinoids are made from phytocannabinoids created by an enzyme inside the cannabis plant.
A cannabis plant only produces natural cannabinoids, no toxic unnatural analogues.
Once activated with heat, the result is consumable THCV, with the effects of a focused, energizing high without the munchies.
Synthetic Process
Some synthetic cannabinoids don’t exist in nature while others are created to match a naturally-occurring cannabinoid. Synthetic cannabinoids are created by merging a group of molecules together. Synthetic reactions can lead to molecules that look like phytocannabinoids but are actually isomers. These isomers can be harmful and have not been fully studied. In addition to isomers, other harmful molecules can be created in the process.
Synthetic cannabinoids are created through chemical reactions.
In addition to synthetic THCV, once activated with heat, the extraction may include unnatural analogues which could be toxic.
Synthetic cannabinoids have flooded the market and have caused much confusion about safety and efficacy. Synthetic cannabinoids won’t be as effective as naturally-occurring cannabinoids and at their worst, could possibly be harmful.
