CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is produced in the cannabis plant. It is often referred to as the \”mother\” or \”stem cell\” cannabinoid because it is the precursor to other cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD.
CBG is produced in the early stages of the plant\’s growth cycle, and as the plant matures, it is converted into other cannabinoids. This means that mature cannabis plants typically contain very low levels of CBG, making it a relatively rare cannabinoid.
Research into the potential health benefits of CBG is still in its early stages, but some studies suggest that it may have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and neuroprotective properties. It may also have potential in the treatment of conditions such as glaucoma, inflammatory bowel disease, and Huntington\’s disease.
CBG is increasingly being used as an ingredient in various products, such as oils, tinctures, and capsules, and may be marketed as a \”prime\” or \”premium\” cannabinoid. However, it is important to note that the quality and purity of CBG products can vary widely, and it is important to choose products from reputable sources that have been independently tested for purity and potency.
