These mechanisms are also part of its powerful mood-enhancement effects.Its ability to regulate other hormones like estrogen and testosterone are responsible for many of its other benefits.
Its significant antioxidant properties are due to its high concentration of isoprenoid quinones, which eliminate free radicals and reactive oxygen species, as well as containing phenolic compounds which are also primary antioxidants. It also contains the bioactive compounds carnosic acid and carnosol which are potent scavengers of peroxyl radicals. Its antimicrobial activity comes from multiple different bioactive components, including rosmarinic acid, rosmaridiphenol, carnosol, epirosmanol, rosmanol, and alpha-pinene.

Depression:
[INTERNAL] This in-vivo animal study showed that ingestion of pure copaiba essential oil significantly reduced depression symptoms via activation of the CB2 receptor by the endocannabinoid BPC.
Mechanisms of Action:
Copaiba contains the highest levels of β-caryophyllene (BCP), a non-psychoactive cannibanoid, of any essential oil. An irregular cannabinoid and sesquiterpene, BCP selectively binds to CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a signaling and regulating system comprised of enzymes, receptor sites throughout the body, and endocannabinoids produced by the body. It’s mostly through those pathways that copaiba acts as a major regulator of human health. (The CB2 receptor has better therapeutic effects than CB1, which is the receptor that THC binds to, and without any of the addictive potential.)
