Depression
Hemp Extract offers relief from depression without the accompanying side effects from antidepressant medications. Results are also experienced within days rather than weeks or more as is the case with antidepressants.
Hemp Extract has shown the ability to increase the availability of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Low serotonin levels contribute to depression.
Through brain scans of people with depression and anxiety, researchers found a smaller hippocampus, a part of the brain that is in charge of cognition and memory formation. Evidence from animal trials has demonstrated that Hemp Extract stimulates the hippocampus and triggers new neuron creation — called neurogenesis. This is another powerful method that can address depression and anxiety.
The use of Hemp Extract for depression is really an effective option for this serious mood disorder and is certainly a much safer alternative than antidepressants.
