Cannabidivarin (CBDV) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is similar to cannabidiol (CBD). Like CBD, cannabidivarin does not affect thinking.
Early research suggests that cannabidivarin might make certain nerve cells less active. These nerve cells are involved in swelling (inflammation), seizures, pain, and other conditions. By making these cells less active, cannabidivarin might improve these conditions.
There is interest in using cannabidivarin for seizure disorder, nausea, long-term swelling (inflammation) in the digestive tract, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Is It Effective?
NatMed Pro rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.
- Seizure disorder (epilepsy). Taking cannabidivarin for 2 weeks doesn't appear to reduce seizures in people with poorly controlled seizure disorder.
There is interest in using cannabidivarin for a number of other purposes, but there isn't enough reliable information to say whether it might be helpful.
Is it Safe?
When taken by mouth: It is possibly safe to take cannabidivarin at a dose of up to 1600 mg daily, for up to 8 weeks. It might cause side effects such as diarrhea, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, and nausea. There isn't enough reliable information to know if cannabidivarin is safe when used in larger doses or for more than 8 weeks.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if cannabidivarin is safe to use when pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
It is not known if Cannabidivarin (CBDV) interacts with any medicines. Before taking Cannabidivarin (CBDV), talk with your healthcare professional if you take any medications.
There are no known interactions with herbs and supplements.
There are no known interactions with foods.
There isn't enough reliable information to know what an appropriate dose of cannabidivarin might be. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult a healthcare professional before using.
