  • 2-Arachidonoyl-glycerol (2-AG)

    2-Arachidonoyl-glycerol (2-AG) is one the two main endocannabinoids, that along with anandamide, has an effect on the CB receptors by regulating and stimulating responses. 2-AG is is the primary ligand (binding molecule) for the CB2 receptor. It is found most commonly in the peripheral tissues of the body and the brain. It influences mostly the immune system and inflammations, as well as pain, memory and appetite.

A(1)

  • Anandamide

    Anandamide is the other main endocannabinoids binding with CB receptors within the Endocannabinoid System. It binds with CB1 receptor and is responsible for mood increases.

They are the most common receptor in the body with a very high concentration in various areas of the brain and are responsible for the moderation of multiple nervous functions. The brain receptors are the main trigger of psychoactive reaction when THC binds to to Cannabis. When find in other parts of the body, CB1 plays a role with hormones, digestion, heart health and pregnancy.
  • CB2 (Cannabinoid receptor 2)

    Cannabinoid receptor 2 is part of the Endocannabinoid System. CB2 focus is on the immune system and offers great promises for therapeutic applications. CB2 is associated with cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, kidney, liver and autoimmune functions.
  • CBD Concentrate or Distillate

    Same as full spectrum oil.
  • Cannabichromene (CBC)

    One of the "top six" cannabinoids. Non-intoxicating due to its poor binding with CB1 receptors in the brain.
  • Cannabidiolic-acid (CBD-A)

    Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) is the non-psychoactive acidic cannabinoid found directly in the live raw form of cannabis.
  • Cannabinol (CBN)

    Cannabinol (CBN) occurs from the oxidation and decomposition of THC. Because it is a derivative of THC, CBN is mildly psychoactive (10% as strong as THC). It can be used as a strong sedative to help with pain, acts as an anti-bacterial agent and has anti-covulsive properties.

While research on humans has been limited, CBG has shown potential for being an antibactorial agent and an anti-inflammatory. Because of its limited amount found in the hemp plant, the CBG extract is very expensive.
