CBD and bone healing

2017-12-14 17:58:39.324724+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Science Daily publishing the press release: No bones about it: Cannabis may be used to treat fractures — Tel Aviv University researcher finds non-psychotropic compound in marijuana can help heal bone fissures:

"We found that CBD alone makes bones stronger during healing, enhancing the maturation of the collagenous matrix, which provides the basis for new mineralization of bone tissue," said Dr. Gabet. "After being treated with CBD, the healed bone will be harder to break in the future."

Vice News: Why the Study Linking Cannabis to Bone Healing Was Likely Over-Hyped.

But, really, do you want to take the chance that it was over-hyped?

Looks like the paper is Cannabidiol, a Major Non-Psychotropic Cannabis Constituent Enhances Fracture Healing and Stimulates Lysyl Hydroxylase Activity in Osteoblasts.
