Overview

Osteoporosis, or porous bones, is a medical condition which causes the body to lose too much bone mass. It is the loss of tissues, thus resulting in fragile and brittle bones. This means that patients with Osteoporosis poor bone health as these parts have a lowered density. This makes them especially prone to fractures or other injuries. In worse cases, this disease might deform the normal physical structures. Osteoporosis can trigger issues such as spine deformities.Over the past few decades, researchers have found out the presence of some cannabinoid receptors such as CB1 and CB2 in bone tissues. Indeed, these elements play an essential role in your bone health.CB2 is expressed predominantly in osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells) and osteoblasts (bone-forming cells). This kind of cannabinoid receptor is necessary for the regulation of your bone metabolism. Physiologically, it is important to keep a balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts as it would maintain an optimum bone health. As people age, this balance would be impaired, and result in a loss of bone density and Osteoporosis.CB2 agonists like CBD could be used to modulate the functions of these receptors. They can improve the activity and count of osteoblasts while inhibiting the expression of osteoblasts and proliferation of osteoclasts. These elements facilitate can also stimulate the formation of Endocortical bones, suppress bone losses and maintain a normal mass of bone. CB1 receptors, on the other hand, can be activated to inhibit a chemical known as norepinephrine. This element might delay the formation of your bones, adjust the rate of reabsorption and lead to some bone issues.Recent studies have proven that the use of CBD oils can have positive effects on these receptors, thus alleviating symptoms as well as slowing the progression of Osteoporosis.
