CBN is a 'minor' cannabinoid with some major benefits.

It has potent neuroprotective effects, due to it's role in restoring mitochondrial (dys)function.

Let's dive in ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image Oxytosis/ferroptosis is a specific cell death pathway that involves mitochondrial dysfunction.

This pathway is involved in neurodegenerative diseases.

It can be triggered by environmental toxicity, iron imbalances, elevated glucose levels, inflammation and oxidative stress.

Endothelial dysfunciton, capillary hypoperfusion & pulmonary hypertension are some major complications in CIRS.

They drive a low oxygen environment leading to symptoms including fatigue, chest pain, PEM and shortness of breath.

Whats driving them + how to fix

๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ TGF-ฮฒ1, MMP-9 , C4a are immune messengers released in a biotoxin response.

They drive drive fibrosis and tissue remodelling.

The result is a reduced supply of oxygen to tissues (Capillary hypoperfusion).

Here's a detailed overview
