44% of patients reported increased stress in the past five years, and 15-40% of respondents also had other health issues (i.e. mood, chronic health conditions)3

As precursors of endocannabinoids, omega-3 fatty acids are required for a healthy ECS. With balanced omega-3 levels, the body produces its own forms of active cannabinoids. If the ECS is out of balance, then an omega-3 deficiency is likely. If omega-3s are depleted or unavailable, dietary support with omega oils can help support omega-3 status. Additionally, dietary phytoactives support the body and direct activation of the CB1/CB2 receptor system.
