CBG: The mother of all cannabinoids
CBG: The mother of all cannabinoids
Often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid,” CBG is the predecessor of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. While CBG exists in only small amounts in most cultivars, its unique healing properties have more recently attracted lots of attention.
In a 2013 study, researchers found that CBG can reduce inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), paving the way for further research into its therapeutic potential for gut health. CBG has also shown promise as an antibacterial agent, specifically in fighting off antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
It’s also non-intoxicating, making it a perfect match for consumers who want to take advantage of the benefits of the plant without any psychoactive effects. As more research continues to come out, it’s likely that more people will turn to CBG for its wellness potential.
Incorporate CBG into your wellness routine: Look for CBG oils, tinctures, or topicals. Whether you’re dealing with stomach discomfort or looking to support your body’s balance, CBG could be a helpful addition to your cannabis roster.
