HOW CBD WORKS

Research into understanding how CBD works is ongoing. Studies to date suggest that rather than binding to the CB1 receptors in the human Endocannabinoid system as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) does, CBD acts differently. Increasing or improving the production of our own Endocannabinoids This is because chemically CBD inhibits the production of an enzyme in our body that regulates and destroys our own excess endocannabinoids. This leads to us having more of our own endocannabinoids circulating in our bodies which affects our physical state. Recent studies also suggestCBD may alter the effects of other natural chemicals in our bodies, including serotonin which modulates mood and stress. Adenosine which impacts our sleep-wake cycle and Vanilloid, which contributes to pain modulation
