We love CBG and believe its medical benefits could even outnumber CBD. Often referred to as the "mother of all cannabinoids," CBG serves as a precursor to other major cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Recent research has highlighted CBG's potential therapeutic properties across various health domains. With our release of the first CBG pure genetics in 2019 - the cannabinoid is finally gaining some traction. Learn more about it below.
Mood Enhancement and Anxiety Reduction
A recent clinical trial showed that relative to placebo, there was a significant main effect of CBG on overall reductions in anxiety as well as reductions in stress. Preclinical research suggests that CBG possesses anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. Its interaction with certain receptors may contribute to mood enhancement and stress reduction, offering potential benefits for individuals dealing with anxiety and depression.
Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Effects
CBG has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Studies suggest that CBG interacts with the endocannabinoid system and other key receptors, potentially influencing inflammation and pain pathways.
Additionally, novel CBG derivatives have been shown to reduce inflammation and pain, highlighting its therapeutic potential for neurological and gastrointestinal disorders.
Neuroprotective Properties
Emerging evidence indicates that CBG may offer neuroprotective benefits. Research suggests that CBG interacts with various receptors, potentially influencing neurodegenerative processes.
This positions CBG as a promising candidate for addressing conditions like Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases.
3. Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities
CBG exhibits potent antibacterial and antifungal effects, making it a potential agent against bacterial infections. Studies have demonstrated its ability to reduce the viability of pathogens, suggesting its role in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Gastrointestinal Health
CBG may contribute to gastrointestinal well-being by reducing inflammation in the gut. Its interaction with specific receptors is thought to influence gastrointestinal inflammation, offering potential therapeutic avenues for related disorders.
Skin Health
Topical application of CBG has shown promise in promoting skin health. Clinical studies have reported improvements in skin hydration and reduction in redness following CBG application, indicating its potential as a safe and effective ingredient for dermatological use.
Lets Learn More About CBG!
CBG is emerging as a cannabinoid with diverse therapeutic potentials, including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antibacterial, gastrointestinal, and mood-enhancing effects. Hopefully the FDA picks up the pace so we can learn its full potentials!
