Charlotte's Web is the name of the proprietary hemp genetics developed by the Stanley Brothers and is the core of Charlotte's Web products. All Charlotte's Web products include whole-plant hemp extracts from Charlotte's Web plants. The extracts contain a unique blend of cannabinoids plus terpenes and flavonoids. Cannabinoids are phyto-compounds that are produced by the hemp plant.
The Stanley Brothers developed a variety of hemp to provide health benefits without psychoactive effects. This was initially called "Hippie's Disappointment," until the Stanley Brothers met Charlotte Figi and her family. As a result of Charlotte's very positive feedback after using their extract, the Stanley Brothers renamed their proprietary hemp, Charlotte's Web.
One of the most commonly known cannabinoids in hemp is non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabinoids work with the mammalian Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which is a vast receptor system to support homeostasis and health.* It exists in the immune system, the central nervous system, and within many organs. The ECS accepts our bodies' own endocannabinoids as well as the cannabinoids found in hemp.
