CBD Pills for Nausea

CBD is used to potentially help relieve a variety of symptoms, from arthritic pain to anxiety and insomnia. But what about nausea? After all, almost everyone experiences some form of nausea or upset stomach at some point.

According to The National Institute of Health, around twelve percent of the U.S. population suffers from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). A chronic condition characterized by nausea and irregular bowel movements, CBD may hold promise because of CBD’s ability to manipulate the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).

This post will cover why CBD pills may be the best way to relieve your upset stomach. We’ll also go over the science of CBD and what research is showing. If you’re interested in CBD’s ability to help curb or increase appetite, then keep reading to learn more.

What Are CBD Soft Gels?

CBD soft gels are pills that absorb quickly within your digestive tract. For example, soft gels leave no aftertaste and are specially formulated to work fast. CBD soft gels use the same ingredients as you’d find in CBD oil, except they come in pill form. Some reasons you might prefer CBD pills include:

1. Easy to carry.
2. Convenient to take to work or offsite.
3. You don’t have to mess around with a dropper.
4. Easy to dose out.
5. An all-natural alternative to OTC nausea remedies.

CBD Pills for Nausea: What Science Says

If you have nausea, CBD oil or Isolate may be challenging to ingest. CBD pills may be the best answer as they’re less likely to irritate an already upset gut. If you have an inflamed gut or nausea, consider taking a full-spectrum CBD pill, as CBD along with THC may be more effective at reducing nausea.

An animal study showed that CBD might treat nausea by interacting with serotonin levels in your brain. Serotonin receptors are hormones responsible for your mood. These hormones also help regulate emotions and sense of well-being.

CBD, short for cannabidiol, works by interacting with your ECS. When researchers test for things like nausea and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), it’s helpful to know all mammals have one thing in common - an Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS regulates everything from connective tissues to your nervous system and organs - including your digestive system.

When CBD pills are ingested, cannabinoids such as THC, even as low as the legal limit of 0.3%, may reduce nausea symptoms by interacting with your ECS, or endocannabinoid system.

In one study, researchers determined that THC was more effective than CBD alone for relieving nausea - which is why you should consider Full-spectrum CBD. A Full-spectrum CBD oil provides your ECS maximum therapy - sending signals to your digestive tract and potentially relieving nausea.

CBD Oil for Nausea Associated With Chemotherapy

One of the worst side effects of cancer treatment is nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. In 2011, researchers showed that CBD might help treat vomiting and nausea associated with chemotherapy treatment.

The Food and Drug Administration has even approved two cannabis drugs for chemo-related nausea and vomiting:

• Nabilone: Used to treat weight loss in HIV patients, anorexia, and chemo-related nausea.
• Dronabinol: Treats weight loss in AIDS patients and nausea caused by chemotherapy.

CBD Pills for IBS

You know how uncomfortable IBS symptoms can make you feel. Because CBD interacts with your ECS, researchers are studying its effects on internal organs. The ECS helps your gastrointestinal tract maintain normal functions. We know CBD helps decrease inflammation.

CBD Pills for Increasing Appetite

You’re probably familiar with the “munchies” - the classic symptom related to smoking marijuana. The main driver of hunger in marijuana is THC, one of two primary components in cannabis. But what about CBD? Does it also help increase hunger? While not as potent as THC, CBD may help increase appetite through its ability to regulate anandamide.

A naturally occurring endocannabinoid, anandamide binds to cannabinoid receptors and sends signals to your brain to potentially increase hunger. Another cannabinoid, CBG (Cannabigerol), also shows promising evidence that it may increase appetite. You’ll find CBG in Full-Spectrum CBD and our specially formulated CBG Isolate.

Is CBD Legal?

Yes. Legislators passed the Farm Bill Act in 2018, legalizing CBD as long as it contained 0.3% or less THC. While some states still have restrictions, you can buy CBD online and legally use it because of federal law. 

How To Find The Best CBD Pills

When looking for CBD pills, first consider label shopping. What do we mean by label shopping? If you bought fish oil capsules, you’re interested in heart health. But in giving your body healthy Omega-3s, you wouldn’t want a dose of high-mercury poison entering your system.

Quality CBD is no different. Some of you, probably a great deal of you, are interested in your overall health and well-being. As CBD provides many other benefits besides relieving nausea, you’ll want to consider looking at some label information before purchasing. Some of the things to look for from the company you are buying your CBD include:

• Do they offer a Certificate of Analysis that ensures purity and THC content?
• Is your CBD provider using CO2 Extraction, which eliminates harmful residue?
• Is your CBD sourced from organic, American-made hemp?

Additional CBD Benefits

When you have a medical condition like IBS or feel just a little queasy, there may be other side effects. The good news is CBD works with your entire body to potentially help relieve uncomfortable side effects that often accompany an upset stomach. Many people report more upset stomachs at night, for example.

CBD may help make you feel calmer and relaxed through its effect on serotonin levels. Taken at night, CBD is an effective treatment for insomnia. Another side effect of IBS is anxiety. In one study, researchers showed that CBD conclusively helped relieve symptoms associated with several anxiety disorders.

Finally, stomach issues, such as IBS, can cause debilitating pain. This can compound the problem, as stress levels often induce IBS flare-ups. Recent studies have shown that CBD helps improve glycine levels - an important biomarker for reducing stress in the brain.
