How do CBD edibles work in the body?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a special hemp-derived compound called a cannabinoid. The human body actually creates its own cannabinoid-like molecules called endocannabinoids (“endo-” means within). These endocannabinoids bind with cannabinoid receptors that are located all throughout the body to help regulate vital functions like pain response, stress, digestion, sleep, mood, and more. When you consume a CBD edible, such as a CBD gummy, the cannabidiol from the edible interacts directly with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to boost its regulatory actions, resulting in better sleep, improved mood, reduced stress, and relief from pain due to exercise-induced inflammation.
