CBD 101
Let's start at the beginning.
The little plant that could.
Social sources its wellness products from agricultural hemp. Federally legal, this incredible plant has been cultivated for millennia for its wide range of medicinal and industrial uses.
Hemp contains molecules called cannabinoids. While there are several types of cannabinoids, the ones we are concerned with are called endocannabinoids.
Meet your endocannabinoid system.
The body’s unsung hero.
Endocannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system(ECS). Your endocannabinoid system is the second largest neurotransmitter system in the body and present in all vertebrates. It performs major homeostatic functions in the brain, skin, digestive tract, cardiovascular system and skeletal system. These, in turn, regulate things like sleep, stress response, mood, memory and inflammation.

Our key cannabinoids.
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is a compound that interacts with the body's cannabinoid system. This series of receptors regulates mood, the immune system, memory, appetite, stress, and other important functions. Social offers two types of CBD, which provide tailored benefits.
CBN–an abbreviation of Cannabinol– comes from the oxidation and decomposition of THC from a hemp plant. This means, when THC is heated and exposed to Co2 (oxygen), it converts to what we know as CBN.
Cannabigerol (CBG) is the precursor to all cannabinoids. Known as “The Mother of Cannabinoids”, this non-psychoactive molecule transforms into the more common cannabinoids (CBD, CBN, THC) as the hemp plant matures.
