Do the products contain substances found naturally in the body?

For many people it comes as a surprise to learn that our own bodies also produce cannabinoids. We all have our own so-called endocannabinoid system (ECS). This is involved in regulating various physiological processes.

The two major endogenous cannabinoids are anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Anandamide, also called the “bliss molecule,” has mood-enhancing and pain-relieving effects. 2-AG is involved in the regulation of appetite, sleep, and memory.

Increasing evidence suggests that endocannabinoid deficiency or dysfunction of the endocannabinoid system may play a role in the development of several diseases.
