CBD Safety and Kidney Health: What You Need to Know Before You Try It
Summary
- CBD and the Kidney’s Endocannabinoid System: The kidneys naturally use endocannabinoids to regulate function, but overactive CB1 receptors—especially in diabetes or metabolic syndrome—can drive damage.
- Quality and Context Are Everything: Poor-quality CBD products may contain heavy metals, pesticides, or hidden THC—posing serious risks for kidney health.
- Root-Cause First, CBD Second: Focus on balancing blood sugar, gut health, stress, and sleep before adding CBD. Use only pharmaceutical-grade hemp under medical supervision.
