CBD, or cannabidiol, is a phytocannabinoid, a biologically active chemical component of the plant Cannabis sativa that is associated with many of the plant’s natural health benefits.

What is the endocannabinoid system?

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a lipid signalling pathway, a complex system that is involved in many functions of the central nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system.

The ECS uses chemical messengers that bind to naturally-occuring cannabinoid receptors plentiful throughout the human body. These receptors interact with cannabinoids to send messages throughout body systems at the cellular level.

The relationship between cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors is often described as a key fitting into a lock. Cannabinoids unlock cannabinoid receptors by physically interacting with them to activate the chemical messengers of the ECS. Endocannabinoids are produced naturally in the body; phytocannabinoids come from from cannabis.
