You may have heard delta-8 described as the “chillest of the cannabinoids” or “weed-lite.” What about this special compound’s possible benefits, though? While we adore the feeling from D8 edibles, this cannabinoid has more to offer than just a focused and unwinded high. Check out some of these advantages that D8 research has shown for the entire body!
Appetite and Weight Loss
In animal studies, delta-8 appears to boost appetite and food consumption. And based on anecdotal evidence, it could have a comparable impact on people. However, D8 does not appear to encourage users to put on weight. Instead, a lower weight is associated with cannabis usage.
How is that possible? Cannabis may temporarily increase hunger, but over time, it may interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) in various ways that prevent fat accumulation and increase metabolism. Therefore, high-quality D8 edibles may aid persons attempting to lose weight by interacting with the ECS to enhance fat burning rather than simply reducing hunger.
Lower Anxiety Levels
Delta-8 edibles also seem to have antianxiety effects, similar to other cannabinoids. According to a poll, 69% of D8 users claimed they mostly used the drug to treat anxiety and panic attacks. Additionally, 52% said they used it to relieve stress. If you frequently feel stressed out, delta-8 could be a useful supplement in your health toolbox.
Suppress Nausea
Patients who are receiving chemotherapy for cancer frequently experience crippling nausea and vomiting. According to research, delta-8 THC has a potent anti-nausea effect. It has been demonstrated to be successful in reducing nausea in cancer patients. Eight children who received D8 therapy in one research study didn’t vomit or encounter any other obvious negative effects.
