Beta-Myrcene – A Prominent That’s Natural Terpene

 

 

Beta-Myrcene, also referred to as simply Myrcene, is another terpene that is prominent in That’s Natural products. Myrcene has been shown to benefit people in a variety of ways including properties that include anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory.  It is also often used to treat insomnia, pain, and muscle spasms. Ironically, it is often used to give scents to certain items like soap, lotions, and foods.

Myrcene is, according to this article, one of the most important terpenes. It is a precursor in the formation of other terpenes, and is found in a variety of fruits/plants. Besides cannabis, it is also found in fresh mango, hops, bay l eaves, eucapyptus, lemongrass, and many more. In the medical field, it is often said that many medications cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Myrcene, has the unique ability to lower this resistance, making that barrier easier to cross – and faster. This allows certain chemicals to act faster than they would have without the help of Myrcene.

So, how does this help with full spectrum products like That’s Natural’s? Well, by lowering the resistance of the blood-brain barrier, it allows cannabinoids like CBD to absorb not only faster, but more effectively.

This article elaborates on this theory more, but also describes how Myrcene can enhance the entourage effect even more. It says:

“What’s more, terpenes are recognized as synergistic compounds that contribute to a complex phytocannabinoid environment. Terpenes work with CBD, THC and other cannabinoids, creating a union of compounds that achieve better results as a group than they would in isolation.

This theory is known as “the entourage effect,” postulating the necessity of keeping the integrity of the natural cannabis building blocks. The results of cannabis as a health supplement are best experienced when administered as whole plant therapies that feature more than just cannabinoids. When culled in high concentrations, terpenes can be harvested as essential oils that are used widely in dietary health and wellness supplements.”

This is why Myrcene, along with the other variety of terpenes and cannabinoids are important to consume together. Fortunately, Myrcene is often one of the most available terpenes.
