About Kalyan products
What is the endocannabinoid system (ECS)?Watch video
Answer
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is one of your body's natural signaling systems, helping maintain overall balance and homeostasis. It includes cell receptors — primarily CB1 and CB2 —messengers your body makes, and enzymes that create and break down those messengers. Together, these parts help cells communicate and help regulate key functions including appetite, localized discomfort signaling, inflammation, immune response, and cellular renewal. Research into the ECS explains part of the body's biology; it does not establish what a particular CBD or CBG product will do.
Research & Sources
More info
Your body has its own cannabinoid signaling network, the endocannabinoid system, or ECS. Researchers identified a cannabinoid receptor in 1988, cloned CB1 in 1990, and discovered anandamide in 1992. CB2 followed in 1993, then 2-AG in 1995.
The system has three core parts: receptors, your body's own lipid messengers, and enzymes that make and break them down. CB1 is abundant in the brain and nervous system, CB2 is prominent in immune cells, both also occur elsewhere. This isn't an exclusive organ map.
At many synapses, a receiving neuron makes endocannabinoids that travel backward to CB1 on the sending neuron, reducing neurotransmitter release. Enzymes then break down the messengers. This local feedback helps regulate functions including appetite, pain signaling, and immune responses.
The ECS is your body's master regulator of pain, inflammation, sleep and recovery. Kalyan's topical CBD plus CBG creams are formulated precisely to support it. Kalyan CBD creams are intentional blends of ancient healing botanicals, modern clean actives and cannabinoids.
What is the difference between CBD and CBG?
Answer
Both CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) are non-intoxicating cannabinoids widely studied for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. CBD is particularly known for promoting calm, reducing anxiety and stress, supporting healthy sleep, and supporting skin cell function and renewal. CBG has been studied for its potent antibacterial properties — including activity against antibiotic-resistant MRSA — and for reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma. A 2024 clinical study found CBG outperformed CBD in key skin anti-inflammatory and UV-protective metrics, while a 2024 human clinical trial confirmed CBG measurably reduces anxiety while simultaneously improving memory recall — making it uniquely suited for daytime use. CBG is often called the 'mother cannabinoid' because it is the biosynthetic precursor from which other cannabinoids, including CBD and THC, are synthesized in the cannabis plant. Together, CBD and CBG have different molecular structures and biological activities working synergistically — producing compounding therapeutic outcomes greater than either achieves alone, which is why Kalyan combines both in our Professional Massage and Pain Cream formulations.
