6 Quick Facts About CBG

Did you know that Baked Goods has CBG oil on the menu? 

Like CBD, cannabigerol (CBG) is found in the hemp and cannabis plants, and it may offer some unique health benefits. The journal Frontiers in Physiology even states: “Given its lack of psychoactive effects, emerging research has focused on cannabigerol as a potential therapeutic for health conditions including algesia, epilepsy, anxiety, and cancer.”

So, here are some interesting facts to know about CBG: 

• Cannabigerol does not get you high. 
• Potential CBG effects may include lowered amounts of stress, chronic pain and intraocular pressure. 
• Concentrated amounts are found in “young” hemp and cannabis plants; these plants tend to hold a greater amount of CBG than “older”, developed plants. 
• It binds to the receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBG is thought to improve how anandamide works in the body. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter with roles in pleasurable feelings, sleep, pain, and appetite.  
• CBG has been shown to have antibacterial properties. Studies have also insinuated that it could contribute to helping IBD, Parkinson’s, MS, and other neurological conditions. 
• CBD and CBG may be taken together, and combining them may be further reduce inflammation. When you take different cannabinoids at once, such as THC, CBD and CBG, they may promote additional benefits – this is called the entourage effect. 

Keep in mind that research is ongoing – if you have questions about using CBG and CBD while taking prescriptions, please consult with your healthcare provider.
