Cannabigerol, or CBG, is one of over 120 cannabinoids found in the hemp (cannabis) plant. It is showing great promise in the treatment of a variety of ailments.
In today’s article, we’ll look at the newest cannabinoid to rock the health and wellness industry since CBD made a splash a few years ago.
Bulk CBG Distillate is an intriguing cannabinoid. Although it is only found in trace amounts in cannabis plants, it is regarded as the “mother of all cannabinoids.” And, because it is found in such small amounts, it is difficult to study and research.
“You have to be able to get enough to test and study it.”
With that said, we’ll share what we do know about this incredible cannabinoid so you can decide if it’s right for you.
Known as the “mother of all cannabinoids,”
Before we get into the meat of the matter, it’s important to understand the science behind this cannabinoid and why it’s considered the “mother” of all cannabinoids.
Cannabinoids, you see, begin in an acidic form. Before CBD becomes CBD, it is Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), and the acid is burned off by heat or sunlight, leaving only CBD. The same is true for THC and other cannabinoids, with CBG serving as a precursor.
Cannabigerol (CBG) begins as Cannabigerolic acid and morphs into other acid-based cannabinoids, which in turn form into their various non-acid cannabinoids, such as CBD, THC, and so on, through heat and sunlight.
Want a crash course in CBG? This video will get you going. Desiree, our video producer, explains the basics of Bulk CBG Distillate, including a comparison to CBD, the more well-known compound derived from hemp.
What exactly is CBG oil?
So, exactly what is CBG? Bulk CBG Distillate, like CBD, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that will not make you “high.” It is most abundant in hemp plants high in CBD. High CBG strains typically have low levels of THC, the most common psychoactive cannabinoid.
Wholesale CBG Distillate acts directly on brain and nervous system receptors such as CB1 and CB2 receptors, 5-HT1A and alpha-2 receptors, TRPV1 and 2 receptors, and some other cannabinoid receptors. To simplify, brain receptors influence our senses, thoughts, mood, and even our central nervous system.Bulk CBG Distillate may even lessen the effects of THC-induced paranoia.
CBG’s Potential Benefits
Although medical research is still in its early stages, this compound shows great promise in aiding or treating a variety of ailments.
- We looked at a variety of published articles and research studies. We discovered that healthline.com had the most comprehensive list of CBG’s medicinal benefits. Our findings are summarized below:
- Inflammatory bowel disease. According to a 2013 study on mice,CBG Distillate Wholesale reduced the inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
- Glaucoma. According to a 2008 study, Wholesale CBG Distillate showed promise in treating glaucoma because it lowers intraocular pressure.
- Bladder dysfunction. A 2015 study looked at the effects of five different cannabinoids on the bladder and concluded that cannabigerol showed the most promise in treating bladder dysfunctions.
- Huntington’s disease According to a 2015 mouse study, this cannabinoid may hold the key to treating neurodegenerative conditions such as Huntington’s disease.
- Bacterial infections According to a 2008 study, Bulk CBG Distillate can kill bacteria, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA is a dangerous bacterial infection that is difficult to treat.
- Cancer of the colon A 2008 study on colon cancer in rats concluded that CBG Distillate Wholesale may reduce the growth of colon cancer cells and other tumors.Loss of appetite. Another study on rats in 2016 found that CBG Distillate Wholesale may stimulate appetite. This could be useful for people living with HIV or cancer.Controls mood. Cannabigerol is thought to regulate mood by increasing anandamide, the body’s native cannabinoid ‘bliss’ molecule.
- Of course, preliminary research is just that: an indication that this substance warrants further investigation. Just because something shows promise in the lab or on rats does not always imply that it will help people in the real world.
Why is CBG so expensive?
The price of CBG, like most things, is determined by supply and demand. When CBD first became popular in the market, the price was also high due to a lack of supply versus demand.
Wholesale CBG Distillate, on the other hand, is a little different. As previously stated, most hemp plants contain only trace amounts of CBG. In fact, a high-CBD hemp strain may contain up to 20% CBD and only 1% CBG Distillate Wholesale. That is, massive amounts of biomass (hemp plant material) are required to produce a tiny amount of extract. Obviously, this raises the cost.
