Hemp-derived cannabinoids are natural compounds found in the hemp plant, such as cannabidiol (CBD) and others like cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN). These compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system in the human body, potentially offering various health benefits without the psychoactive effects associated with THC. They have gained popularity for their potential in addressing a wide range of health and wellness concerns, from pain management to anxiety relief, and are legal in many regions due to their low THC content.
The human endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids that play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. Among its primary receptors, the CB1 receptors are predominantly found in the central nervous system, while the CB2 receptors are primarily located in immune cells and peripheral tissues. Activation of these receptors by endocannabinoids or exogenous cannabinoids can influence a wide range of physiological processes, from pain regulation to immune function, making them key players in the therapeutic potential of cannabinoid-based treatments.
