CBD (cannabidiol) is one of many active compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBD is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from various parts of the plant and used to impart a feeling of relaxation and improve overall health. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.

The human body contains a specialised system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is an important signalling pathway that regulates stress, inflammation, anxiety, and depression. CBD binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS) which directly links to the central nervous system (CNS). The activation of these receptors triggers physiological processes across multiple organ systems, most notably the release of neurotransmitters from the central nervous system.

Adaptogens are some plants and fungi that contain selected bioactive substances that affect our cells' ability to adapt to strain and stress. Adaptogens are particularly popular in alternative medicine and the name adaptogen is related to the English word "adapt" to adapt. When you are affected by stress, they help normalise body functions to restore balance in the body. They then also help with things caused by stress such as poor sleep, stomachaches and difficulty focusing.

Melatonin plays a crucial role in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. It is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body, mainly in response to decreasing light levels in the evening. Melatonin levels rise and signal to the body that it is time to prepare for sleep. This hormone helps initiate and maintain sleep during the night. When taken as a supplement, melatonin can also be used to regulate sleep patterns in cases of insomnia or jet lag.
