Ever heard of Endocannabinoids?

They’re like your body’s own version of cannabinoids, but they’re naturally made by you. Here’s a quick dive into these fascinating molecules:

• What are they? Endocannabinoids or endogenous cannabinoids are substances produced by our bodies that mimic the effects of plant-based cannabinoids.
• The Dynamic Duo:
• Anandamide (AEA): Often called the ‘bliss molecule’, it plays a role in happiness and feeling good.
• 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG): This one’s involved in more widespread regulatory functions within the body.
• Why They Matter: These compounds help regulate various physiological processes to maintain homeostasis. Since they’re produced on demand, levels can vary significantly from person to person, which explains why responses to CBD can differ.
• Why the Variation? Because your body generates them as needed, it’s hard to pin down what ‘normal’ levels look like. This variability might explain why some people feel the effects of CBD differently or might not feel them at all, while the endocannabinoid system continues to work subtly in the background.

So, next time you think about CBD or cannabinoids, remember your body has its own version working behind the scenes to keep things in balance!
