Cannanda Issues Health Warning Regarding the Use of Copaiba Essential Oil as a Beta-Caryophyllene Supplement

As beta-caryophyllene (BCP) gains mainstream popularity for its health benefits, Cannanda, the global leader in BCP-based products, warns consumers of the hidden dangers of ingesting copaiba essential oil—and offers a safer, clinically-formulated alternative with its clean, food-grade Cannanda CB2 oils.

TORONTO, ON – June 1, 2025 — With growing interest in natural remedies for chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sleep issues, beta-caryophyllene (BCP) has rapidly gained recognition as a powerful compound in the wellness community. Consumers searching for effective, natural alternatives are increasingly turning to BCP-based solutions. But as demand rises, so do misconceptions—especially around the use of copaiba essential oil as a BCP supplement.

Cannanda, the world’s leading brand for beta-caryophyllene products and creators of the top-selling CB2 oil line, is issuing an educational alert to consumers: not all BCP products are created equal, and copaiba essential oil is not a safe way to supplement with BCP.

The Rise of BCP: Why Everyone’s Talking About Beta-Caryophyllene

• BCP is a terpene found in many plants, most notably black pepper, cloves, and hemp.

• It’s the first known dietary cannabinoid to directly activate the CB2 receptor—without any psychoactive effects or binding to CB1 receptors like THC.

• Activating the CB2 receptor is linked to:

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Pain relief

  • Better immune response

  • Improved mood and sleep

  • Enhanced healing and recovery

• BCP is gaining popularity as a natural solution for arthritis, fibromyalgia, stress, and chronic pain.

Copaiba Essential Oil: The Risky Shortcut

Despite its growing popularity in wellness circles, copaiba essential oil is not a safe way to get your daily dose of BCP. While it does contain beta-caryophyllene, Cannanda warns against its internal or even topical use for several reasons:

⚠️ Contains hepatotoxic compounds

• Copaiba oil contains diterpenes, a class of compounds that can be toxic to the liver (hepatotoxic) when ingested or absorbed through the skin.

• Essential oils are not safe for consumption, and copaiba oils can vary significantly in quality and composition.

⚠️ Not designed for daily use

• Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts meant for aromatherapy or external use—not internal or daily therapeutic use.

• Misuse can lead to toxicity, especially when applied to the skin, which acts like a sponge and allows rapid absorption into the bloodstream.

Your Skin Is a Sponge—Here’s Why That Matters

• Whatever you put on your skin ends up inside your body.

  • Joint pain and inflammation

  • Muscle recovery

  • Skin wellness

Become an Informed Consumer: What to Look For in a BCP Product

• ✅ Is it clinically formulated and tested?

• ✅ Is it free from harmful compounds like diterpenes?

• ✅ Is it made from food-grade, safe ingredients?

• ✅ Is the BCP dosage standardized for consistent results?

• "Is copaiba oil safe to ingest?"

• "BCP supplements for inflammation"
