Description

Canabinoid
CBC-CannabichromeneÂ
Health benefits / effects
Helps with: Irritable bowel syndrome, pain relief
Description
CBC is classed as non-intoxicating because it binds poorly to CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the brain, but CBC does bind with other receptors in the body, such as the vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), both of which are linked to pain perception. When CBC activates these receptors, increased levels of the body’s natural endocannabinoids are released. While CBC definitely has singular benefits, researchers believe that it works well with other cannabinoids, enhancing their effects- this is also known as the entourage effect.
