Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one 80+ cannabinoids naturally present in the cannabis sativa plant.
Cannabinoids are chemicals that trigger CB1 & CB2 receptors found throughout the central and peripheral nervous system of all animals except insects. Researchers have concluded that regular supplementation of our endocannabinoid system may have a multitude of positive effects on our overall well-being.
How does CBD work?
Our bodies endocannabinoid system (eCS) is directly involved in the processes that keep our bodies systems balanced from day-to-day, including appetite, perception of pain, mood, memory, immune system functions, and inflammation regulation. Similar to how we use Vitamin C to kickstart our immune system, CBD is a supplement that will help improve the overall function of the nervous system.
