CBD And The Immune System

As we enter flu season it’s important to keep your immune system healthy and strong. And cannabinoids play an integral role in keeping our immune system functioning at its finest!

Cannabis interacts with our bodies endocannabinoid system or ECS as it’s commonly referenced. The ECS is responsible for regulating 5 vital functions: Eat, Sleep, Relax, Protect, Forget. Today we’ll be focusing on the “Protect” aspect. ProjectCBD describes the “protect” function as: “It builds brain cells to protect your brain health, promotes healthy metabolism, and modulates your immune system so that it can fend off harmful invaders.” A primary mechanism of this function is activation of the bodies receptors responsible for immune system regulation, known as the CB2 receptors.

Because CBD binds to CB2 and CB1 receptors, it provides the necessary activation to promote a healthy immune system while not creating a psychoactive high. So it’s great for daily use or for folks not looking to get high but still get the benefits of cannabis.

Our full-spectrum CBD tinctures are made with cannabis CBD, not hemp, so you’ll get the most effective range of compounds. Available in 1oz and 2oz bottles. Or check out our CBD-rich FECO2, available in 1g or 2g options! Find them at a dispensary near you

Stay friendly and healthy!
