Following the Jewish High Holidays, a Colorado-based company has launched a high-end

Kosher line of CBD supplements and topicals for humans and pets

By Sarah Bodnar and Summer Westerbur

 With the rising availability of CBD products in grocery stores, neighborhood pharmacies, and even airports across the United States, it’s hard to know what you’re getting or choose the product that is right for you. Our new Simcha line of top-quality Scroll K certified Kosher CBD products make it easier for the discerning customer. Formulated at a lab in Boulder, Colorado from the highest quality, organically-grown hemp with our patented solvent-free extraction process, these supplements and topicals deliver superior benefits.

Founded by three industry veterans, the brand is designed to reach customers that may be new to the CBD market, and are looking for products they can trust. Simcha was borne out of the founders’ commitment to increasing access to high-quality CBD products, and educating consumers.

The company name represents our goal to create a more balanced, joyful world through better health. The Hebrew word “simcha” means joy, which is what we hope to create with natural remedies.

The benefits of “Full Spectrum” Products

Co-Founder Robert Cohen of Cohen Medical Centers in Colorado and Nevada has counseled thousands of patients in utilizing whole-plant, Full-Spectrum products and many reporting relief from pain, inflammation, anxiety, calm, stress, or support with post-workout recovery and better sleep.

CBD Products are either made from CBD isolates or whole plant extracts. Our products exclusively use full-spectrum whole-plant hemp extract because they offer more potency and increased efficacy than isolates. Whole plant extracts capture the naturally occurring combination of terpenes and cannabinoids from the hemp plant which include CBD and CBG.

The Entourage Effect

In combination, these cannabinoids (the fatty compounds found in hemp) have been shown to work together to produce greater benefit overall, known as the entourage effect. This concept suggests that when multiple components of the cannabis plant work together, a person receives more benefit than when taking isolated components. Whole plant extracts include the naturally-occuring combination of phytocannabinoids (such as CBD, CBG, and THC), flavonoids, and terpenes to produce the greatest effect on the body’s endocannabinoid system. Using full-spectrum extracts means we go beyond CBD to deliver the entourage effect. Our lesser-known CBG forward products offer additional benefits. Many

CBG users report increased mental clarity as CBG can relieve anxiety and depression, stress and support a sense of calm and increased focus.

Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) consists of a network of receptors located throughout the body which support general well-being and optimal function of the brain and body. Humans naturally produce molecules called endocannabinoids which are messages sent between these receptors, and they closely mirror the molecular structure of the cannabis plant. The cannabinoid receptors located in the brain are called CB1 receptors and receive these chemical messages that help regulate many other neurotransmitters, serving like air-traffic control for many of the body’s systems including appetite, responsiveness, or body temperature. The endocannabinoid system has been historically overlooked, and its essential functions are becoming more well understood with the advancement of cannabis science.
