Endocannabinoid System
As a pioneer in the cannabis industry, Cannaisseur Brands
goal is to educate others about cannabis and its medicinal
benefits. The most significant ingredient in our products,
of course, is premium cannabidiol (CBD), a natural
compound that has the ability to improve your physical
health from the inside and out.
But why does CBD have such a positive reaction with
our bodies? And how can it benefit us in so many ways?
Well, the simple answer is: The endogenous cannabinoid
system, otherwise referred to as the Endocannabinoid
System (ECS).
How was the ECS discovered?
In the mid-1990s, an Israel researcher Dr. Raphael
Mechoulam discovered two main receptors that
connect to both the endocannabinoids that our bodies
naturally produce and plant-based cannabinoids like
THC and CBD. These two receptors are known as
cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptors.
The breakthrough of these receptors required working
backwards, tracing the metabolic pathways of THC
that led scientists to discover the unknown molecular
signaling system that exists inside thousands of biological
lifeforms.
What is the role of the ECS?
Rightfully named after the plant that aided in its discovery,
the endocannabinoid system is a physiological system
that controls and cares for your health. Endocannabinoids
and its receptors can be found throughout the body, in
the brain, organs, glands, and connective tissues. This
system is actually responsible for helping maintain many that binds with CBD and work as an anti-inflammatory
