Check Out This Hemp Combo: CBD + Live Resin

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most thoroughly researched cannabis derivatives in history. Not only that, but we know that this cannabinoid in its pure, isolated form can deliver serious enhancements to our daily life, improving the way we feel both physically and mentally. However, the hemp plant is rich in hundreds of valuable compounds, and it’s important not to turn our back on what they can offer as well.

Live resin is a relatively new type of hemp extract that can be combined with cannabidiol to supply a diverse variety of valuable hemp compounds each and every time you take your daily dose of cannabidiol. Live resin can, without a doubt, give you even more CBD satisfaction. Now, how awesome is that?

How Live Resin Improves Your CBD Experience

To appreciate what live resin can offer, we need to know how it differs from more conventional types of hemp extracts. Most hemp sold in the United States is dry-cured, meaning that after the buds are picked off of the hemp plant, the flower buds are kept in a dry, dark and cool place to lose enough moisture to prevent the growth of pathogens. The problem is that dry-curing dehydrates the sticky trichome glands that coat the buds of the hemp plant, where we find potent and diverse terpene and flavonoid profiles to offer more benefits to the experience.

Live resin is the solution to this problem. Instead of dry-curing the buds, cultivators dip them into liquid nitrogen or a similar flash-freezing agent as soon as they’re picked. What this does is keep the trichomes perfectly fresh and potent.

Live resin is a darker, thicker type of extract, and that’s because it contains such a higher terpene and flavonoid concentration. The result is, with each serving of a CBD-based product made with live resin, you’re getting even more of the entourage effect, plus more terpene flavor and more benefits from these secondary hemp compounds overall. Essentially, live resin aids in the bioavailability of your CBD products, and, is capable of providing better general results when you take your daily serving. Live resin lets us consume hemp as nature intended, on a whole new level.

How to Find Top-Quality Live Resin CBD Products

What’s great about live resin is that it can be used interchangeably with the more conventional types of hemp extractions, milliliter for milliliter. This means that it’s easy for companies to produce live resin tinctures, gummies, vapes, dabs and more, using the same recipes that they always have, with just this one minor difference. Vapes are the most popular type of live resin product out there, since the extract’s thickness is great for vaping devices. But, the market is expanding fast, and at the Calm Leaf, you’ll find all kinds of product types to enjoy.

Of course, as is always the case, you want to make sure you’re buying only top-shelf CBD + live resin products. Companies can lie and say they’re using live resin when they’re not, unfortunately, so always choose a reputable, trusted brand like the Calm Leaf. All of our live resin undergoes strict third-party testing, and you can see the lab reports for yourself to know you’re getting the real deal.

Notice that with live resin products, the cannabidiol is added as a distillate, separately from the live resin. Why? Because manufacturers find that the isolated cannabidiol cannabinoid is best extracted using an entirely different method from how the plant’s terpenes and flavonoids are extracted. So, as always, pay attention to the milligram strength as well as the strain of the product to find the best formula for your needs.

One thing to keep in mind is that live resin can give you more potent results overall. In turn then, you might be able to slightly scale back your dosage each day and get the effects you’re looking for like never before. Also, if you’re vaping a CBD + live resin product, be aware that the higher concentration of terpenes and flavonoids can cause a little harshness at first while you adjust, so pull a little more lightly as you get used to this new type of product.
