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.
Just like a-pinene, Beta-pinene has been shown to have profound and scientifically proven effects on overall health. Beta-pinene has been shown by researchers to be an effective anti-inflammatory, a bronchodilator, pain reliever, anxiety-reliever, and even a tool to battle short-term memory impairment. While there are some slight differences between the two, both positively affect our overall health.
Beta-pinene (β-pinene) is one of the two isomers of pinene, along with its sibling alpha-pinene (α-pinene). β-pinene is most known for it’s a woody and piney smell. It is one of the main compounds released by forest trees.1
Beta pinene molecule Pinene is one of the most common terpenes in the plant world and is produced in significant quantities by basil, cedar, pine, and conifer trees, dill, eucalyptus, oranges, parsley, rosemary, and hundreds of other plants, including of course cannabis.
Because both β and α-pinene share the same plant sources, they also share similar therapeutic qualities and characteristics. The main differentiator between these two terpenes is their smell. Whereas α-pinene possesses the unmistakable fresh and earthy scent (think pine and rosemary), β-pinene has a fresh, woody, and spicy aromatic quality (think dill, parsley, basil or hops).
Research shows that Beta pinene can enter the brain following inhalation, oral and intraperitoneal administration methods. It exerts effects on multiple signalling pathways, including GABAergic, cholinergic, dopaminergic, serotoninergic, adrenergic, noradrenergic neurotransmitter systems, in multiple regions of the brain (e.g., hippocampus, frontal cortex, striatum, midbrain). Although limited, evidence suggests that pinene is anti-inflammatory and prevents oxidative stress, possesses anti-depressant, anxiolytic and anti-seizure properties, confers neuroprotection in models of stroke and ischemia, improves cognition, and provides analgesia in inflammatory, migraine-associated, and neuropathic pain in pre-clinical rodent or in-vitro settings. Several studies have shown that pinene has similar or better efficacy compared to existing medications for some indications
