CBD’s Effect on Male Fertility.
Research conducted by Dr. Hans Hatt at Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany has found an incredible link between CBD and male fertility.
This study found that a receptor previously presumed to be a part of the ECS also is present in sperm cells. This receptor, called the GPR18 receptor, now can link cannabinoids and the ECS directly to fertility.
However, the evidence concerning THC and CBD is incredibly different. Animal studies have shown THC may impact testosterone levels, stunt sperm maturation, and increase the number of abnormal sperm cells, as well as decreasing overall sperm count and mobility. On the other hand, the evidence for CBD is much more promising.
Evidence suggests CBD may play a key role in an essential biological process for procreation called the acrosome reaction. This study found that when the GPR18 receptor in sperm cells is activated, this acrosome reaction is triggered. During this process, the sperm cell is altered slightly as it moves toward the egg.
As the sperm ‘swims’ toward the egg, digestive enzymes are released and the sperm loses the protective ‘cap’ on its head. This allows the sperm to effectively penetrate the egg. So, without this receptor and the ECS as a whole, this reaction would not occur and fertilization would be impossible.
If these findings are correct, CBD could be the next breakthrough in helping resolve infertility issues. More research is needed to prove CBD’s powerful effects on both female and male fertility, though the evidence is incredibly compelling thus far.

Conclusion
As the evidence continues growing, CBD’s incredible medical and therapeutic potential slowly is being revealed. By working directly with the body, CBD is able to help bring the body back to homeostasis. This effectively allows CBD to work to heal the body from the inside out.
