A cannabinoid is any chemical that binds to or affects cannabinoid receptors such as CB1 and CB2 in the brain and body.

Phytocannabinoids are found in the Cannabis sativa plant, however, cannabinoids in fresh plant matter are in acidic forms such as CBDa, CBCa, and CBGa. When these acidic forms are exposed to heat or light, they transform into CBD, CBC, and CBG. This transformation is known as decarboxylation.

Our full spectrum CBD contains all of the cannabinoids and active ingredients that are naturally present in the cannabis plant.

Endocannabinoids are produced naturally within the bodies of nearly every animal organism. The two most important endocannabinoids are anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol.

Endocannabinoids and their receptors are the two main pillars of the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate bodily functions such as our immune system, mood, memory, appetite, sleep patterns, and pain.

Interestingly, CBD and many other cannabinoids found in CBD products and high strength CBD oil drops seem to react with our cannabinoid receptors in a similar way to endocannabinoids.
