Understanding Our Endocannabinoid System

In order to understand how CBD helps with numerous biological processes, one must understand the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is involved in the regulation of a broad array of physiological and biochemical systems, including neurological, gastrointestinal, inflammation (pain), behavioral, and sleep. The ECS, only recently discovered, may indeed be the most important biological system involved in maintaining homeostasis, or equilibrium, throughout the body.

The ECS is comprised of two main receptors, cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid 2 (CB2). CB1 receptors are mainly found in the brain and central nervous system, while CB2 receptors are predominantly found in peripheral organs involved with the immune system. Your body produces endocannabinoids such as anandamide and 2-AG, which are thought to be natural regulators of the ECS.

Indeed, Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome (EDS) includes a variety of afflictions (fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, etc.) thought to be due to low levels of the body’s endocannabinoids. By adding phytocannabinoids such as CBD, many of these devastating symptoms can be decreased, as the phytocannabinoids (plant-derived) mimic the endocannabinoids (body-derived) by modulating the ECS.

Full-spectrum CBD oil is a rich extract made from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. The oil is rich in nutrients such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, terpenes, and amino acids. Enriched with high CBD content, CBD oil also contains at least 85 other phytocannabinoids. Some of these additional cannabinoids also show promising health benefits, such as cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabichromene (CBC). In fact, it has been shown that CBD oil is more therapeutic than CBD isolate alone. It is thought that the mixture of cannabinoids act synergistically, also known as the “entourage effect”.

Our CBD tinctures contain full-spectrum CBD oil mixed with medium–chain triglyceride oil (which helps with the absorption of CBD) and black cumin seed oil (antioxidant-rich). Some specific tinctures may also contain therapeutic-grade essential oils, which assist with the therapeutic benefits of CBD and are formulated to treat specific symptoms.

As mentioned above, the ECS is critical in maintaining homeostasis, defined as “the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between independent elements of the human body”. CBD and other phytocannabinoids directly interact with the ECS, which is evident in the various and numerous health benefits:

Acne	Addiction	ADD/ADHD	ALS
Alzheimer’s	Anorexia	Anxiety	Cancer
Celiac Disease	Crohn’s	Depression	Diabetes
Fibromyalgia	IBS	Inflammation	Insomnia
Migraines	Nausea	OCD	Osteoporosis
Pain	Parkinson’s	PTSD	Stress
Rhuematoid Arthritis	Spasticity	Weight Loss

26% Of Tested Products Contained Less CBD Than Labeled.

Due to discrepancies in federal and state cannabis laws, there is little regulation and inadequate oversight concerning the labeling of CBD products. In fact, the US Food and Drug Administration recently found that 26% of tested products contained less CBD than labeled. In addition, some companies list their content of CBD misleadingly as the weight of hemp-extracted CBD oil instead of the actual weight of CBD.

What Is CBD?

In order to understand the difference, it is critical to understand the content of hemp-extracted oil. Full-spectrum hemp oil is a viscous liquid that is rich in phytocannabinoids, as well as other naturally occurring components. These include:

• Vitamins (e.g., vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and E)
• Amino Acids (e.g., glutamic acid and arginine)
• Carbohydrates (e.g., rich in fiber) – Fatty Acids (e.g., omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids)
• Trace Minerals (e.g., calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc)

Of the phytocannabinoids rich in hemp, the most abundant are CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC. In addition, there are numerous other phytocannabinoids present at low levels. It is suggested that the entire profile makeup of the cannabinoids work together to affect various biological processes, described as the entourage effect.

How Much CBD Is In The Bottle?

Depending on the strain of the hemp plant, the CBD content of hemp-extracted oil may range from 5-60%. To determine the true CBD content, it is crucial to perform third-party and state-regulated testing on manufactured CBD products.

Knowing the content of CBD oil, is NOT the same as the weight of CBD in a product. A bottle of CBD tincture labeled 500 mg CBD oil can not be determined by the weight of CBD oil. When CBD oil analyzed contains 25% CBD, the tincture label should read 125 mg CBD. This is very important when choosing your optimal and correct dosage.

At MJ BioEssentials, the hemp-extracted CBD oils used in our products have been 3rd party tested by certified and state-regulated analytical laboratories, which generates a phytocannabinoid profile of the extract. This enables accurate and reproducible measurement of the TRUE CBD content of our complete line of CBD products.
