Knowing where CBD comes from is one thing. But what about that important interaction we’re talking about?
The influence that CBD exerts requires a point of contact. This is the endocannabinoid system. The name may sound complicated, but the role is pretty straightforward.
The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is present in all mammals, including dogs, cats. Some non-mammals, such as goldfish, also have an ECS.
In humans, the role of the ECS is a relatively recent discovery (early 1990s). Therefore, the investigation is still ongoing. Nevertheless, you should not underestimate the importance of such a system.
We now know the following: the ECS functions as a regulatory system. It plays a role in the vital organs, brain, nervous and immune systems.
The task of the ECS is to observe all these systems. It ensures correct functioning and supplies resources where needed. If these systems are not functioning correctly, the ECS will attempt to provide support. It then tries to help the body release biological compounds and enzymes.
CBD acts as the general manager of your endocannabinoid system.
It is not directly involved in its daily functioning. It ensures that your body’s enzymes and chemical compounds get to where they are most needed. However, CBD can lead the way and occasionally interact with receptors associated with the ECS.
