What is CBD?
What About It?
CBD/CANNABIDIOL - Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Both CBD and THC have significant therapeutic attributes. But unlike THC, CBD does not make a person feel “stoned” or intoxicated.
​
CBD FACTS - CBD has potent anti-tumoral, antioxidant, anti-spasmodic, anti-psychotic, anti-convulsive, and neuroprotective properties.
Endocannabinoid System
​
ECS - Your body's endocannabinoid system is made up of two types o receptors - CB1 and CB2.
CB1 & CB2 Receptors -
These are neurotransmitters involved in physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.
Entourage Effect
Full plant extracts provides tons of other beneficial cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, and fatty acids naturally found in cannabis.
These components act synergistically producing the
"Entourage Effect".
CB1 Receptors
CB1 Receptors - Can be found in the peripheral organs and tissues and predominantly in your brain and nervous system.
CBD interacts with CB1 receptors, benefiting the body, especially the nervous system.
CB2 Receptors
CB2 Receptors - Encoded by the CNR2 gene, CB2 is a G protien-coupled receptor from the cannabinoid-1 receptor family.
CBD interacts with the CB2 receptors to benefit the body, especially the immune system.
