BCP and anxiety and insomnia, how does it work?

Cannology Products to assist with Anxiety and Insomnia; Cannology products containing Beta-Caryophyllene can potentially provide many people with great relief for persistent symptoms of insomnia and anxiety through activation of specific serotonin receptors in the brain! How does this work? And how could it possibly ease symptoms of anxiety? Beta-Caryophyllene is a CB2 receptor agonist; meaning it binds with certain G-protein receptors to send a message to your body’s immune system and brain. Once the CB2 receptor has been activated, it upregulates (meaning it increases) the volume of the 5-HT1AR receptor, a receptor responsible for binding with and increasing the activity of other 5-HT receptors (broad spectrum serotonin receptors). Increased broad spectrum serotonin receptors combine themselves with more G-Proteins, proteins that act as internal switches to change the role or task of a cell. Cells that have been acted on by this G protein switch then convert your bodies main fuel source; ATP or adenosine tri-phosphate into cAMP, a protein made to send messages to other cells in your body through something called a “signalling pathway”. This increase in cAMP regulates the downstream pathway directly by increasing the production or expression of 5-HT (not the receptor, the actual compound) and a compound called GABA. So, to simplify the above nonsense! BCP -> CB2 receptor -> + 5-HT1AR (serotonin sensor increasing) receptors -> +5-HT (serotonin) receptors + G proteins -> ATP + G proteins -> cAMP pathway activation -> + 5-HT (actual serotonin) and GABA or…. BCP = More serotonin and GABA! So, with this extra serotonin and GABA your body now has the power to change several things. GABA’s main job is to reduce how often nerve cells send transmissions to neighbouring brain cells. With insufficient GABA in the brain, neurons fire too often and too fast – which creates all the background brain noise associated with anxiety and is one of the main causes of insomnia! Low serotonin is thought to be one of the main causes of several mental anguishes, including depression, anxiety and several others. Serotonin is also proven to be vital to ensuring you get enough sleep, and sleep of the right quality! So where do you start? Right here!
