Since 2013 Hempture have been producing Cannabis Terpenes in Ireland, making them the first company to do so in Ireland. Hempture’s Terpenes originate from natural sources, they are non GMO and 100% natural. The Terpenes are Hemp-derived from EU grown Cannabis Sativa L plants. Compliant with European Council Directive 88/388/EEC and EU Regulation 1334/2008.
In nature terpenes do not occur in isolation. Individual plants produce a variety of types of these molecules that come together to form what is called a terpene profile. Research has revealed that terpenes possess significant wellness properties. Terpenes/terpenoids have a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities, for instance, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antiparasitic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial.
Hempture isolated terpenes are undiluted,100% pure, highly concentrated and completely raw, so they should be handled with care and should never be consumed without mixing them with the intended product. When diluted in the desired product and in the correct proportions, terpenes are 100% safe and provide flavour and other benefits, they can be used individually in your product to harness each terpene’s unique effect or combined in different terpenes.
Terpenes are the primary constituents of essential oils and are responsible for the aroma characteristics of cannabis. Together with the cannabinoids, terpenes illustrate synergic and/or entourage effect. Hundreds of terpenes are identified that allude to cannabis sensory attributes, contributing largely to the consumer’s experiences. They also enhance many therapeutic benefits.
Cymene, aka p-cymene, also known as p-cymol or p-isopropyltoluene is the monoterpene responsible for the scent of carrots. Oranges, tangerines, cumin, thyme, and oregano also contain high levels of cymene.
Aroma: Musty-tang with particular carrot-like notes with a sweet, slightly citrus orangey background. Some describe a harsh chemical odor with subtle oxidized citrus lemon notes and woody hints.
Effects: Laboratory research has concluded that cymene has anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and pain-relieving properties. When applied topically, it is easily absorbed to reduce the pain and inflammation of wounds without the side effects that some drugs or painkillers can generate. Cymene can also improve mood, reduce blood pressure, improve retention and memory, and ease Alzheimer’s disease and ADHD symptoms.
Packaging: Terpenes come in highly durable Amber Essential oil bottles with UV protection. 2ml come in hardened glass vials. 2ml and 10ml are shrink wrapped and come with plastic pipette.
