What is CBD exactly?

Hi there!

In our series of upcoming emails, we’ll discuss the many
benefits of CBD and provide you with additional information
to help you make the best decision for you.

In today’s email, we’ll discuss how CBD works.

Here’s a quick overview to help you better
understand the process:

There are three different components of the endocannabinoid
system: receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids.

These components will function in your body whether you use
CBD or not.

Receptors are found throughout the body. They are the
substance that cannabinoids bind to.

There are two main types in this system: CB1 and CB2. The
CB1 receptors are mostly in the central nervous system.

They’re responsible for controlling coordination, movement,
pain, appetite, memory, mood, and other functions.

CB2 receptors are found in the peripheral nervous system and
deal with pain and inflammation.

Two types of enzymes work to break down endocannabinoids.
After they’re broken down into cannabinoids, they can bind
with the receptors.

Researchers think CBD doesn’t directly attach to the receptor
but influences it in some other way.

CBD can also influence non-cannabinoid receptors, like the 5
ht serotonin receptor, which affects psychiatric symptoms.

CBD also seems to affect the TRPV1 receptor responsible for
pain and inflammation.

In tomorrow’s email, we’ll look at CBD and cannabis in
terms of how much you should be taking based on your
personal needs.

Until then,
