The ECS is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids (cannabis-like cannabinoids manufactured by the body), neurotransmitters, cannabinoid receptors, and receptor proteins. The ECS serves a major role regulating and balancing many processes in the body including the immune response, communication between cells, appetite, metabolism, memory, hormonal response, your dance moves (just kidding), and much more.

A new era has arrived, folks. We have entered the era of minor cannabinoids. And one of the most promising, making up just 1% of the cannabis and hemp plants, is CBG or Cannabigerol. Much like CBD, CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that can have profound effects on inflammation and neuroprotection.
