🧠 Did you know that up to 1 in 5,000 people suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)?
An often invisible pathology... but with very real pain. What if a natural molecule like CBD offered a credible alternative to relieve symptoms without heavy side effects?

1️⃣ Why is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome such a burden?

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect collagen, a key protein in the structure of connective tissue.
The result? A body out of balance, suffering from joint hyperlaxity, chronic pain, severe fatigue, digestive disorders... and often, long and exhausting medical wandering.

🎯 Concrete impact on daily life :

• Constant joint pain, sometimes incapacitating.
• Chronic fatigue, little relieved by rest.
• Anxiety, stress, even depression linked to pain and isolation.
• Sometimes severe side-effects of conventional treatments (analgesics, opioids, etc.).

The problem is not just physical. EDS also affects morale, sleep and social life.

2️⃣ What the science says about CBD and SED

CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive extract from hemp, is attracting growing interest among people with chronic illnesses, including EDS.
Here's what the latest studies say 👇

🔬 Study 1: CBD and chronic pain reduction.

A 2020 study evaluated the efficacy of CBD in patients with chronic pain (not specifically related to EDS, but comparable). Result: 59% of patients experienced reduced pain and improved sleep.
