This is a question that we have been getting more and more recently. So we wanted to give you a quick and simple answer with a little explanation. The simple answer is YES! We believe that ICARIA CBD oil is a great option for men. We also have a growing number of men who are currently using ICARIA CBD oil for a number of different health conditions with great success.
ICARIA Mission
We know that at ICARIA our branding is targeted towards busy professional women. However, we also strongly believe that men could greatly benefit from a little extra self-care too! Our goal is to help anyone that we can with a natural, safe, and effective solution to boost wellness. It does not matter what your demographics are since we strive to be as inclusive as possible.
The truth is, almost everyone struggles with stress, anxiety, sleep, pain, and inflammation to some degree, among other health concerns. We do get lots of men asking about our products and who are just getting started with CBD oil and we are excited to help them along their healing journey as well. We are so grateful for the support of our clients and the interest of men in ICARIA too! Our male clients have just as amazing results as our female clients!
How CBD Oil Works
There is a common concern that we get from guys when it comes to the specific topic of hormones. Men, rest assured, our CBD oil will not have any unwanted effects on your hormones. Regardless of gender, CBD oil works to bring your body back into balance through the endocannabinoid system and so it has a balancing effect on hormones.
The ECS interacts with most of the organ systems in the body and is responsible for many different functions. This includes sleep, mood, inflammation, appetite, pain, focus, stress, reproduction, etc. Pretty much anything and everything that you can think of. CBD works by binding on CB1 and CB2 receptors in our ECS like a key unlocking a door to send specific messages to different parts of the body. That is why it can have so wide-ranging effects as it works on the system that controls everything else.
Our body produces our own endocannabinoids which are supposed to do this, but sometimes we do not make enough of them due to a variety of reasons like stress. That is why the body recognizes CBD, which is a phytocannabinoid, and can effectively put it to work right where it is needed. Hormones are basically chemical messengers that send signals from the brain to the different organs to work properly. Stress can throw off those signals and that is when things can start to go downhill and your health can suffer as a result.
Therefore, if you can bring balance back to the foundation of the system or the control centre that manages the rest of our bodily functions, then everything else can slowly start to fall back into place, including hormones.
The Bottom Line
There is nothing in ICARIA CBD oil that would prevent men from being able to use it like women. It will not increase estrogen or progesterone levels in men nor testosterone levels in women. It helps to bring balance back into the system to regulate bodily functions and work on any unpleasant symptoms. Men can definitely also benefit from CBD oil for the same condition women would use it for. Regardless of sex, our bodies function in the exact same way. Everyone, even animals, have an endocannabinoid system that could use some extra help.
In addition, we do offer a stronger concentration product that we like to think is branded more towards men. This would be our HARMONIA product. However, if you are new to CBD oil then THEIA or APHRODITE will be a great starting point for you and come with the exact same benefits.
