How Does CBD Work?
How CBD is Absorbed
Cannabinoids must attach to a fatty acid binding protein to pass through the membranes of our cells. Once its inside the cell, CBD starts to be broken down by fatty acid amide hydrolase, a metabolic enzyme. From there, the CBD can start interacting with the receptors and compounds in our bodies!
The Endocannabinoid System
As we already mentioned above, CBD is one of over 60 compounds called cannabinoids.
The human body already produces come cannabinoids on its own – these are called endocannabinoids. Since these compounds are naturally produced in the body, the body also has a system in place for dealing with the signals it receives from cannabinoids.
This system is called the endocannabinoid system or ECS. The ECS regulates many bodily functions, such as sleep, pain, mood, appetite, and responses from the immune system.
The receptors in the ECS are divided into two categories: CBD1 and CBD2.
CBD1 receptors are typically found in the nervous system, and a small proportion of them may be found in the kidneys, lungs, or liver. These receptors are the ones known to interact with the neurotransmitters and affect sensations like appetite, concentration, and more.
CBD2 receptors, on the other hand, are a huge part of the immune system. These receptors have a hand in modulating the pain sensation along with other immune responses.
According to this study, CBD does not bind to the ECS itself – it activates or inhibits other compounds and receptors. The same study claims that this is the reason why CBD does not produce any psychoactive effects.
