How Does CBD Work?
Decades of research show that your endocannabinoid system (ECS), which consists of the CB1 and CB2 receptor proteins and the secondary messengers triggered by activation of CB1 and CB2, is primarily responsible for managing your body’s natural condition of balance. Everything from your temperature, blood sugar levels, pain sensations, sleeping, inflammatory responses, oxygen level, CO2 level and other parameters important to your individual well being, need to be actively regulated within a narrow range to ensure optimal health.
When CBD is introduced to the body, it links with the cannabinoid receptors found throughout the body. Together, these receptors and CBD interact with the secondary messenger system within each cell to help regulate your body and maintain constant balance, also called homeostasis.
