Researchers are seeking answers to help reduce the number of people affected and the cost to the economy. One focus of study is the interaction between the endocannabinoid system (ESC) and the cardiovascular system.
Cannabinol (also known as “CBN”) is a chemical that comes from the cannabis plant. The cannabis plant contains over 100 cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). In recent years, cannabis products have become increasingly popular due to the legalization of both medicinal and recreational cannabis in a growing number of states.
If you have been following the changing tide regarding cannabis use in the United States, you are likely familiar with two cannabinoids called cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). However, you may not be familiar with cannabichromene (CBC), a different cannabinoid produced by cannabis and hemp plants.
One of the most exciting chemicals found in cannabis plants is cannabigerol or CBG. CBG and other compounds found in cannabis work with your body’s natural systems to regulate critical bodily functions. Research has also shown that CBG may help improve bodily function, associated with the digestive system, the nervous system, and cellular function.
Cannabinoids are a type of endogenous chemical, which means they occur naturally within our bodies. Cannabinoids are also naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant.
