A modulating action

Phytocannabinoids do not act on a single target. By interacting with the endocannabinoid system they modulate functions that the body already regulates. The literature associates them with the following areas, always as support within a supervised protocol.

Functional areas

  • Stress: regulation of the stress response, promoting calm and reducing anxiety.
  • Appetite: influence on appetite and energy metabolism, in both directions depending on the cannabinoid.
  • Cognition: support for cognitive processing, memory and learning.
  • Immune system: modulation of immune activity and inflammatory response.
  • Motor coordination: support for movement integration and muscle tone.
  • Pain perception: modulation of pain signaling, promoting comfort.
  • Sleep and wake cycle: support for restorative sleep and a healthy circadian rhythm.
  • Mood: influence on neurotransmitters linked to mood and wellbeing.
  • Neuroprotection: protection of the nervous system and support for tissue recovery.

Conditions most associated in the literature

Mood and behavior (anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, ADHD), pain and inflammation (chronic pain, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, migraine), appetite and digestion (nausea, appetite loss, gastrointestinal disorders), neurological (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Tourette), sleep and fatigue (insomnia), and systemic conditions (cancer support, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, autism, diabetes).

These associations come from clinical and preclinical research and vary in strength. They are not claims of treatment. Product choice, dose and follow-up are defined by the prescribing physician.
