CBG
CBG stands for cannabigerol, which is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBG is playfully referred to as the “mother of cannabinoids” because it is considered a precursor to other cannabinoids like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). It is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it doesn't produce the high typically associated with THC.
CBG is present in cannabis in relatively low concentrations compared to THC and CBD. However, it has gained attention for its therapeutic properties. Some preliminary research suggests that CBG might have anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and neuroprotective effects. It has also been studied for its potential in treating conditions like glaucoma, inflammatory bowel disease, and even certain types of cancer.
While CBG Tinctures may be a relative newcomer when compared to CBD and THC products, there is growing interest in CBG and its potential benefits. There has been a good deal of recent research showing CBG’s immense potential to treat and prevent various ailments and health issues.
