Recent Study Shows CBD is Effective Against COVID

By Stacy Roberts, Founder of Hempra

Research recently shows that CBD may significantly reduce the symptoms of COVID, as well as play a role in prevention of the virus.

The COVID viruses’ effects were proven to be blocked by CBD when given at high purity rates and concentrations. It is thought that cannabinoids such as CBDA, CBDV in CBD are responsible for attaching the body’s natural endocannabinoid receptors and disrupting the viral load.

Sciences Advances published the study lead by researchers from the University of Chicago, which found evidence that CBD can inhibit COVID (SARS-CoV-2) in humans and mice. Patients taking high quality, pure CBD for epilepsy’s records were taken for a nationwide sample of their COVID results. The effects showed increased COVID-blocking effects, meaning it prevented infection and also showed that it is effective in inhibiting the progression of the virus, especially in the lungs. Out of 1,212 patients from the national COVID Cohort Collaboration, the researchers found that patients taking FDA approved CBD for the treatment of epilepsy had lower rates of infection than those not taking CBD.

The researchers were testing CBD to see how it affected the immune system and were surprised to find that it actually blocked viral replication.

Marsha Rosner, PhD, along with Charles B. Huggins, Professor in the Ben May Department of Cancer Research and a senior author of the study put out a joint statement, “The idea to test CBD as a potential COVID-19 therapeutic was serendipitous. CBD has anti-inflammatory effects, so we thought that maybe it would stop the second phase of COVID infection involving the immune system, the so-called ‘cytokine storm.’ Surprisingly, it directly inhibited viral replication in lung cells.”

More research is needed to determine the details of treating COVID with CBD.
