Ready to dive into some science? Let's go! Rather than binding directly with the body's CB1 & CB2 receptors, like most cannabinoids, CBDA interacts with our endocannabinoid system by clocking the COX-2 enzyme (which, it just so happens, is an enzyme associated with inflammation). Additionally, CBDA has 100 times the affinity for the body's 5-HT receptors, compared to CBD. This is a very cool thing, because 5-HT receptors mediate neurotransmission. That means they act as an intermediary between your brain and your body, helping your bodyβs subconscious, and conscious, processes take place as smoothly as possible. |
