The Endocannabinoid System (ECS): An Important System for Whole Body Balance
The ECS is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body organs, brain, connective tissues, glands, immune cells, and more. The ECS performs different tasks in each of these tissues, but the goal is always the same: the maintenance of a stable internal environment – homeostasis – despite fluctuations in the external factors. It’s a bridge between body and mind that can aid in the response to physical and emotional stress.^
COMPONENTS OF THE ECS
- Endocannabinoids: Lipid-derived signaling molecules produced by the human body that have activity similar to phytocannabinoids.
- Cannabinoid receptors: Both endo- and phytocannabinoids act on cannabindoid receptors (CB1/2) found throughout the body. They activate specific CB-receptors, which lead to a variety of physiologic processes via the cross-talk between cellular networks. The helps to maintain the systemic homeostasis that is governed by the ECS.
- Hydrolytic enzymes: Responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids.
The 15 mg of phytocannabinoids in our Standard Process Hemp Oil help support the ECS:
- Central Nervous System: Facilitates regeneration of neurons, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotection. Regulates motor neuron activity and cognition.
- Digestive System: Regulates motility, gut-/brain-mediated food intake signaling, inflammation, gut permeability, and gut micorbiome interactions.
- Hormones: Plays a significant role in the function of hypothalamic-peripheral endocrine axis for metabolic hormone release. Contributes to stress response by influencing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
- Bones: Plays an important role in bone homeostasis by maintenance of bone mass/density and bone resorption.
- Immune Response System: Supports healthy inflammatory response pathways.
- Metabolism: Consitutes a feedback loop for nutrient-energy metabolism. Tegulates various cellular functions, intestinal functions, immune responses, and stress responses. Supports physiological homeostasis in the body as cannabinoids co-evolve with diet.
- Muscles: Improves muscle glucose uptake, mitochondrial energetics, and supports runner’s high.
Our hemp oil consists of:
Hemp Stalk, Hemp Seeds and Orgainc Extra Virgin Olive Oil while takes advantage of a Supercritical Fluid Extraction process that provides a broad-spectrum extract by utilizing CO2 instead of organic solvents. The result is an oil that is pure, poten and contains no CBD isolates – which are considered drugs by the FDA and DEA.
Physical and emotional stress – a two-pronged assault that virually every patient knows well
People from all walks of life deserve the physical and psychological benefits that accompany a healthy endocannabindoid system.
Supporting the EXS with Hemp Oil from Standard Process is one more way that we’re changing lives.
What is HEMP?
- The fiber, oil, and seeds taken from the Cannabis sativa L. plant species which contain less than 0.3 percent of THC
- A traditional source of food, fiber, and medicine production ever since it originated from Central Asia
- One of the most effective ways to support the endocannabinoid system
