Delta-8 and Delta-10: The Naturally Occurring Cannabinoids to Watch

Delta-8 and Delta-10, two cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant, have caught the attention of scientists and researchers worldwide. These naturally occurring compounds are notable for distinctive molecular structures, in which small variations substantially impact their biological effects. Delta-8 boasts anxiolytic, antiemetic, and analgesic properties, enabling it to alleviate anxiety, nausea, and pain. Delta-10 is a relatively new discovery. However, initial research suggests that Delta-10 THC may possess a low psychotropic potency while maintaining the ability to interact with the endocannabinoid system, a complex cell-signaling network within the human body. Delta-10’s interaction has the potential to help support immune response, regulate pain sensation in the central nervous system, and improve memory.
