The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is present in all living creatures and serves to balance cellular function through homeostasis. This homeostasis modulates immunity, anxiety, inflammation, metabolism, pain, cell death, carcinogenesis and neurooprotection. The ECS appears to play a very important regulatory role in the response to stress, hormone secretion, energy regulation and mechanisms of food intake and gastrointestinal tract activity. In essence, it is involved in almost every bodily function.
Endocannabinoid receptors are produced from omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids present in all cell membranes. Endocannabinoids activate CB1 receptors primarily located in the brain and CB2 receptors, which are more numerous in the peripheral body. Once activated, these receptors regulate and balance cellular functions, ultimately having a positive effect on the entire organism.
Phytocannabinoids are plant based cannabinoids present in the hemp plant that can activate CB1 and CB2 receptors and regulate the enzymes that produce and degrade endocannabinoids. In other words, these plant compounds (CBD among many others) have a profound effect on the body’s endocannabinoid system, thus influencing many disease and health conditions.
CBD is short for Cannabidiol which is just one of a long list of phytocannabinoids extracted from the hemp plant. CBD can have a significant influence on the endocannabinoid system by mimicking the body’s own endocannabinoids and influencing enzymes that produce and degrade them.
Endocannabinoids are formed from Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Similar to the inflammatory process, Omega 3 endocannabinoids balance the endocannabinoids formed by omega 6 fatty acids. By adding omega 3 to CBD we balance the system that is balancing the entire body.
Since omega fatty acids form the entire endocannabinoid system, it is vitally important to maintain the proper balance of omega 3/6 endocannabinoids in order for the system to maintain homeostasis. Scientists suggest that there are good endocannabinoids and bad endocannabinoids depending on if they are derived from good omegas(3) or bad omegas(6). In other words, proper levels of omega 3 derived endocannabinoids are essential to balance the system that is balancing the entire body.
Studies show that combining CBD with a long chain triglyceride (fish oil) results in a 2.5-3 fold increase CBD blood levels over CBD taken by itself. This unique combination not only provides Veterinarian recommended levels of omega 3’s, but also allows for superior absorption of CBD. No other CBD produce can duplicate CannOmega’s synergistic benefits for your pet.
Our CannOmega product provides the highest quality of omega 3 fatty acids and full spectrum phytocannabinoids available. This unique combination provides unmatched Endocannabinoid System Support.
