Although many well-trained physicians and medical professionals don’t know it exists because it wasn’t even discovered until the 1990’s. Israel Scientist, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam is now known as the “father” of cannabinoids. He states that each one of us has a unique endocannabinoid system that helps our bodies regulate appetite, sleep, pain, mood, memory, our immune system and so much more.
The ECS consists of cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors. When cannabinoids such as CBD and THC enter the body the ECS system is activated because these molecules attach to these receptors.
There are two types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. When cannabinoids bind to these receptors they cause changes in how cells function. THC primarily binds to CB1 receptors which are primarily found in the brain and are responsible for the intoxicating effects of ma*****na. CBD primarily binds to CB2 receptors which are found throughout the body and are responsible for a wide range of biological functions.
Your body and your ECS is unique and is not based on weight, therefore finding your right serving size is achieved through patience and a bit of trial and error.
Unlike drugs or medicines we normally take, CBD is a natural alternative and is considered a supplement. Unlike traditional pills that rely on our weight and condition, CBD is not a one size fits all product. One person may take a full dropper of the 500mg oil and the next make take a full dropper of the 1500mg to receive the same benefit. We have also noticed different conditions need less. For example, Parkinson’s patients often need very little product to receive results.
