THCv (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a naturally occurring compound found in some cannabis plants. It is similar to THC, the main psychoactive component, but has a different effect profile. THCV may produce a milder psychoactive experience and has been studied for potential benefits such as appetite suppression, blood sugar regulation, and neuroprotective properties. Unlike THC, which often increases appetite, THCV might help reduce hunger. Research is ongoing, but THCV is considered a promising compound for both medical and wellness uses due to its unique interactions with the body's endocannabinoid system.
