What is Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?
What is Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?: The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the mammalian central nervous system (including the brain) and peripheral nervous system.
The ECS is one of the more important biological control systems, which help regulate major bodily functions. There are currently two known subtypes of cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2.[6][7] The CB1 receptor is expressed mainly in the brain (central nervous system or "CNS"), but also in the lungs, liver and kidneys. The CB2 receptor is expressed mainly in the immune system and in hematopoietic cells.
What is Cannabidiol (CBD)?: Cannabidiol (CBD) is the primary cannabinoid in industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) In recent years there is increasing interest in the therapeutic potential of CBD, which causes no psychotropic effects, is not psychoactive (No “high”) and even in high doses does not cause relevant side-effects.
What is CBD oil?: CBD hemp oil is extracted from the stalks and seeds of industrial hemp plants. CBD oil is a cannabis oil that contains significant amounts of cannabidiol (CBD). The supercritical CO2 extraction process also preserves all other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and nutrients, and contains only trace amounts of THC (below 0.2%). CBD actually binds quite poorly to receptors but works in a way to keep the ECS working at optimal capacity.
How much CBD do it take?: There is no RDA or standard amount of CBD to take so the best approach is to take it slow and build the dosage up over time. It will also depend on what strength your CBD is (300mg – 2400mg) as to how much each drop contains. A 10ml bottle of 300mg strength will mean each full dropper contains 30mg of CBD. One to two drops twice per day is seen as a good starting dose.
Do I get high from CBD oil drops?: CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning that you cannot get “high” or intoxicated by consuming CBD oil drops, as well as any other raw natural product from industrial hemp plants for that matter. CBD products that are made from industrial hemp, only contain trace amounts of THC (less than 0,2%), so there is no psychoactive effect from taking these products.
What is CO2 extraction?: CO2 extraction is an extraction process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) to extract phytochemicals (such as CBD, CBG, or terpenes, flavonoids, etc.) from a plant. CO2 at certain temperatures and pressures acts like a solvent, without the dangers of actually being one. It is the most expensive extraction method and is widely considered the most effective and safest plant extraction method.
