CBD When Trying to Conceive: Can it Boost Fertility?

5/12/2022

While research is still developing into whether or not CBD can help couples in conceiving, there is a lot of promising evidence.

CBD has been found to be helpful in significantly reducing pain and symptoms for a variety of conditions, like inflammatory disorders, anxiety, chronic pain, skin conditions, depression, and epilepsy. So it only makes sense that researchers wonder whether or not CBD has an impact on fertility.


Here’s what we know so far about using CBD when trying to conceive.

What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical found in hemp. It does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high. CBD has also not been found to be addictive and has been gaining in popularity as a treatment for numerous health conditions and pain management.

Is CBD safe when trying to conceive?

While the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that both men and women stop using marijuana, which contains THC, before trying to conceive, CBD products, which do not contain THC, are safe for couples who are trying to conceive. It has not been found to have any negative impacts on a person’s health or ability to conceive.

Does CBD help when trying to conceive?

While CBD is not dangerous to take when trying to get pregnant, there is no solid evidence that it actually aids in fertility. That being said, some studies being done are showing promising evidence that it might play a role.

CBD has been found to help with overall health and well-being, which can boost the chances of fertility in couples. By using it as an approach to health as a whole instead of as solely a fertility treatment, CBD might help people become more fertile. CBD may be a natural way to boost fertility with minimal negative side effects. 

The answer might lie in the body’s endocannabinoid receptors, which are signaling molecules that help regulate various processes, such as pain, memory, mood, immunity, and stress. These have been found in both sperm and the female reproductive tract and it is thought that they can improve a sperm’s ability to fertilize an egg, and boost ovarian function and follicle maturation.

It is important to note that these findings are not yet conclusive, as there still needs to be more intense research done to determine all the aspects and risks.

How to take CBD for best results

There is no best way to ingest CBD, but the easiest way for many to incorporate it into their diet is through CBD oil. It’s an easy substance to add to your food and drink, but it is also safe to swallow as is. Putting CBD oil under your tongue for approximately 60 seconds will allow most of the CBD to enter your blood stream via your saliva glands. This is the quickest way to get CBD into your endocannabinoid system.

Edibles like gummy bears are popular and a tasty way to get CBD into your system. Edibles take longer to get into your system and you may loose a little of the CBD while it goes through the digestive system before it enters your blood stream.


There are also several topicals that include CBD in their ingredient list, but these may not be as effective in boosting fertility as actually ingesting it would be.

There is no official evidence that CBD can help couples who are trying to conceive do so, but there is a lot of research that has been done, that suggests it can help. Because CBD is known to improve a person's overall health in a variety of different ways, it’s an excellent start, at least, to boosting fertility.

Can CBD Lower Blood Pressure? Here’s What We Know

5/3/2022

It’s well known that CBD is a successful treatment for a few different serious health conditions, and there are more and more studies coming out all the time as research into the substance grows. Blood pressure issues, which is something that millions of people around the world struggle with, could be the next major frontier for CBD treatments.

Here’s what we know about CBD and blood pressure.

What is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, a major ingredient in hemp plants. Unlike marijuana, CBD doesn't contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that produces a high. It has been commonly used in recent years as a treatment for health concerns like chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, and insomnia.

CBD can be ingested in a variety of ways, including oils, capsules, edibles, topical lotions and creams, and smokables. 

Has CBD been proven as a treatment for medical conditions?

CBD has not been approved as an official treatment for any medical issues or health conditions. While there is research into how CBD can aid in treatments for cancer, hair loss, asthma, depression, anxiety, and many other conditions, there has not yet been enough research to consider it a treatment option for anything. 

What is high blood pressure, and how does it affect the body?

High blood pressure, or HBP, is when the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels, is consistently too high. This is an issue because your blood can’t regulate oxygen to the rest of your body, which can lead to serious health crises like kidney disease, kidney failure, heart attacks, heart failure, and strokes. High blood pressure can also cause vision loss and sexual dysfunction.

High blood pressure was a primary or contributing cause of death for 516,955 people in the United States in 2019, according to the CDC.

Symptoms of high blood pressure

There are several different indicators of high blood pressure. These can vary between men and women and some people can experience more severe symptoms than others.

The most common warning signs of high blood pressure are:
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Blurry vision or dizziness
  • Chest pains
  • Nervousness or anxiety
  • Frequent sweating
  • Trouble sleeping

Any of these symptoms are indicators that you should seek medical attention, especially if they are frequent and affect your daily life.

Can CBD lower blood pressure?

There is a lot of evidence and more emerging studies that show CBD can help lower blood pressure and prevent these serious health issues.
Picture
According to a 2017 study, a single dose of CBD in several healthy male participants lowered blood pressure for those at rest and those who were under stress. Another 2020 study was also promising, with results demonstrating that CBD could reduce blood pressure in patients who were stressed.

While there is additional research to be done to determine how it fully contributes to helping patients with blood pressure issues, experts acknowledge that it does reap very beneficial effects.

So, does CBD help?

CBD is by no means a cure-all for anything, but the research emerging is promising. There is evidence that CBD can help to lower blood pressure, but there needs to be more studies on the substance to understand whether or not it is a viable treatment for high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases.

It’s important that you talk to a doctor before continuing with any treatments if you have diagnosed blood pressure issues, and you should seek medical attention immediately if you have any symptoms of having high blood pressure.

At CBD Store of Michigan we carry a wide variety of CBD products including oils, vapes, and edibles. Before you start a CBD regimen it's important that you talk to your doctor.
