Dutch Natural Healing – CBD HQ Oil – 8%

CBD HQ OIL (HYDROXY QUINONE) 8% 10ML OF DUTCH NATURAL HEALING
Many people now have experience with the beneficial properties of CBD (cannabidiol). Almost nobody knows that CBD also has a bigger strong brother, called CBD-HQ. In contrast to CBD, CBD-HQ is more difficult to refine. Nature takes years to convert CBD to CBD-HQ and it occurs naturally only in very small quantities in CBD-rich cannabis strains.

WHAT IS CBD-HQ?
CBD-HQ is the abbreviation for Cannabidiol Hydroxy Quinone and was first discovered by Prof. dr. Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the oldest university in Israel. The synthetic variant of CBD-HQ is also referred to as HU-331, which is written in full as Hebrew University 331.

CBD-HQ is a natural oxidation product of CBD with many potential therapeutic applications. CBD-HQ is created by the natural aging process of CBD. Although very few studies have been conducted into its functioning, the small amount of available studies is promising.

OXIDATION PROCESS
CBD-HQ is a quinone variant of CBD. Quinones are common in nature and arise after oxidation of the polyphenols present in plants. A well-known phenomenon is the oxidation of polyphenols in an apple when you cut it in half. Due to the contact with oxygen, the polyphenols in the apple are enzymatically oxidized to quinones, this gives the characteristic brown color that occurs when you leave the apple for a few minutes.

CBD-HQ FROM NATURE IN CANNABIS
Just as CBN is an oxidation product of THC, CBD-HQ also occurs naturally in very low concentrations in CBD-rich weed species. CBD-HQ can mainly occur in old fiber hemp and CBD-rich weed species that have been in contact with the open air for a long time (longer than 5 years) (for example due to poor packaging). The oxidation of THC to CBN is slow, but much faster than the oxidation of CBD to CBD-HQ.

NEW CBD-HQ DISCOVERY
During an experiment in 2016 to remove THC from fiber hemp, I discovered a faster way to “ripen” CBD naturally to CBD-HQ, using pure oxygen and under controlled climatic conditions. Under ideal conditions, it was possible to convert> 50% of the CBD within 3 weeks to CBD-HQ, a process that normally takes years.

You can compare this with the ripening of fruit. If you put a banana in a plastic bag, it will ripen much faster than outside the bag. That’s because ripening bananas produce a lot of ethylene. This gas stimulates fruit to accelerate ripening. In the case of CBD, we do not use ethylene, but pure oxygen so that the CBD can mature faster under the right climatic conditions to CBD-HQ.
