Have you ever heard of CBG? Chances are, you probably haven’t.  

CBG stands for Cannabigerol and is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant family. While hemp and cannabis plants contain some CBG, only young plants contain appreciable amounts. CBG’s classification as a cannabinoid also means it can interact with your body’s endocannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The endocannabinoid system is a network of receptors and neurotransmitters that regulate a variety of important functions, including mood, appetite, pain perception, inflammation, and more. While THC is the best-known cannabinoid thanks to its psychoactive effects, CBG has been getting a lot of attention lately for its potential therapeutic benefits.

What are the differences between CBG and CBD?

CBG and CBD are both cannabinoids, which are compounds found in cannabis plants. Both CBD and CBG are extracted from hemp plants and are non-psychoactive. CBG and CBD interact with your endocannabinoid system, but they work in different ways. While CBD is known to bind to TRPV1 ionotropic cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, CBG seems to interact directly with the brain’s CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.

This difference may explain why CBG has potential therapeutic benefits for conditions like inflammation. Allowing you to get all of the health benefits without the ‘high’ that comes with THC. CBG and CBD both have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Some people also use CBG to help relieve symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.

What are the benefits of CBG and what does it do?

While more research is needed to determine the full extent of their benefits, CBD and CBG are both promising compounds with a wide range of potential applications. CBG may offer powerful anti-inflammatory effects without the ‘high’ that comes with THC or other cannabinoids. This means it can’t cause euphoria because CBGA, the acidic form of CBG, doesn’t bind to the same neurological targets as its cousin THC does. Instead, CBG is thought to work behind the scenes by reducing chronic stress and inflammation in your body. 

CBG is also more stimulating than other cannabinoids. CBD, on the other hand, becomes sedating enough at high doses that many people use it as a sleep aid.
The complementary benefits of these cannabinoids make them the perfect health couple to improve your day!

What is CBG Oil?

Many people like taking their CBG in the morning in order to make the most of its energizing effects.
