MEET ANANDAMIDE – THE BLISS MOLECULE

Anandamide, which can also be referred to as AEA for simplicity, is the main endocannabinoid used by our Endocannabinoid system. It is named after ‘anada’ the Sanskrit word for bliss or happiness, but has been found to play a much wider role in our health and wellbeing.

THE ROLE OF ANANDAMIDE

Anandamide is produced in the part of the brain which is important in memory, motivation, higher thought processes and movement control. It also plays a role in pain appetite and fertility.

CBD Products On The Market

Many CBD products on the market are wellness-oriented, meant to have calming or pain relief benefits. Many sources of social media show influencers primarily talking about CBD in the context of emotions – calming down and getting better sleep.

There are tens of thousands of medical studies on wellness approaches, despite the fact that the wellness world isn’t on an even playing field, lacking the deep pockets of Big Pharma to conduct big trials among large populations over long periods of time.

Now since regulators in the U.S. and Canada decided to remove CBD from the controlled substances list and now the CBD market is expected to experience a sharp rise in demand and is expected to have a larger impact on younger consumers because they are much more susceptible to sleep disorders and depression.

CBD’s Are The Ideal Treatment

CBD’s are the ideal treatment options for debilitating medical conditions like epilepsy and anxiety. This post enlightens the readers on pertinent concerns such as the therapeutic rewards of consuming CBD oils.

Anxiety disorders are known to affect roughly 18% of all Americans as of 2019, according to estimates released by the Anxiety and Depression Association in America. In the past, anxiety patients had to rely on psychotherapy meditation to relieve the mental condition.

The CBD molecules interact with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the CNS, or the central nervous system and in the peripheral nervous system. Interactions with these receptors prompt the release of serotonin. Medical research has shown that depressed persons exhibit lowered serotonin levels and therefore, it’s no secret that low serotonin leads to anxiety.

Dosages of CBD

Tishler says that the dosage of CBD required to bring benefit to the average person is between 600 and 1200 mg of CBD per day.

Side effects are also much more likely at higher dosages, which is where Tishler urges caution. “Having CBD at placebo levels is probably not a big deal, but high levels of CBD are probably something we want with some control, or people will get drug interactions.”

The only FDA approved use for CBD in the U.S., Tishler says, is the FDA approved drug Epidiolex, used to treat seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Dravet syndrome (DS) in patients 2 years of age and older.

CBD inhibits two powerful pathways the body uses to detoxify drugs, the CPY3A4 and CYP2D6 systems. Most of the statin medications are metabolized by CYP3A4, which if taken with CBD, the effect of lowering  cholesterol would be lessened.

Effects On Inflammation and Cancer-Related Pain

In the last decades, a lot of attention has been paid to the compounds present in medicinal Cannabis sativa L., such as THC and CBD, and their effects on inflammation and cancer-related pain. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) currently recognizes medicinal C. sativa as an effective treatment for providing relief in a number of symptoms associated with cancer, including pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and anxiety.

Several studies have described CBD acting as an adaptogen, and as a modulator, in different ways mainly interacting with specific receptor proteins CB1 and CB2. CBD is present in both medicinal and fibre-type C. sativa plants, but, unlike Δ9-THC, it is completely nonpsychoactive.

Anxiety relief in the time of Covid-19

Anxiety relief in the time of Covid-19

Indeed, a more recent survey looking at consumer attitudes and behavior during Covid-19’s enforced “social distancing” revealed that people have been turning to cannabis and CBD as a way to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, among the general population, 10% are using cannabis, and 5% are using CBD.

Researchers warned of a rise of anxiety and “coping responses” during the pandemic, and called for better monitoring of mental health as part of the global response to the pandemic.

People living with coronavirus-related anxiety due to fear of one’s health or the health of loved ones, isolation, entrapment from quarantining, a disrupted routine, or simply uncertainty of the future might turn to CBD as a useful tool to get them through this difficult time.

Electrolytes Are What Our Bodies Need

Electrolytes are what our bodies need to absorb water and remain hydrated. When people drink alcohol or caffeine, or exercise, not only do they become more dehydrated, but any water consumed after is not as effective due to a low balance of electrolytes.  Insufficient electrolyte replenishment is a leading cause of why over 75 percent of people are chronically dehydrated.

With cannabis now legal in several U.S. states and industrialized hemp production legal nationwide, consumer curiosity in alternative forms of stress-release and relaxation is piqued. Whether it is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD or other botanicals with purported relaxation benefits, consumers are interested in trying drinks that support their desire to slow down, the market research firm says.
