What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?

The ECS consists of a vast network of neurotransmitters and receptors, called CB1 and CB2, that are highly concentrated in specific areas of the mind and body such as the brain, central nervous system and immune system. Scientists now understand that the ECS is a primary mechanism for the coordination and maintenance of optimal health and well-being – commonly referred to as homeostasis.
