What Is Cannabigerol, And What Is Cannabigerol Good For? 

CBG Won’t Get You High

Cannabigerol (CBG) makes you feel better without getting you high. According to a study about CBG, it has potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation, mood management and pain perception. 

Cannabinoids Start Off As CBGA

CBG is one of the 100+ cannabinoids cannabis has to offer. CBGA can be found on the plant’s surface in the resin glands that cannabis makes as part of its defense system. These resin glands are called trichomes. CBGA is the start of all phytocannabinoids. As the plant matures, CBGA converts into CBDA, THCA, and CBCA (raw acid form of CBD, THC, and CBC). Usually, less than one percent of the plant contains CBG after its conversion into other cannabinoids. It’s considered a minor cannabinoid despite its colossal role. 

Time To Study Cannabigerol

CBG is growing in popularity as a cannabinoid with unique healing properties. Some of these include anti-anxiety, stress reduction, and antidepressants. It can provide potent anti-inflammatory benefits for treating neuroinflammation, a degenerative disease. Its analgesic and antibacterial benefits are super beneficial. As a result, CBG is taking center stage in scientific studies and making waves in cannabis product marketing. 

Studies have been done with pretty cool results

1. Cannabigerol (CBG) Helps Brain Against Neurotoxicity

A study concluded that CBG may have promise for treating other neurodegenerative conditions. The same study showed that CBG and other cannabinoids improved motor impairments and protected the brain against neurotoxicity. 

2. Protection Against Long Term Injury

A review stated that CBG aided alongside other cannabinoids in protecting the brain against long-term injury resulting from physical injury. 

3. Cognitive Decline Prevention In Mice

In an experimental model of Huntington’s disease, researchers tested CBG and other cannabinoids on mice. They found the neuroprotective effects of CBG may help prevent cognitive decline. In addition, preclinical evidence suggests that plant-originated CBG could have use in treating brain, stress and anxiety disorders.

4. Cannabigerol and Inflammatory Bowel Disease In Mice

Researchers found that CBG effectively reduced inflammation in mice with inflammatory bowel disease. 

5. ALS Pain Management

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of CBG demonstrated promising therapeutic potential for CBD and CBG in alleviating the pain associated with ALS. 

6.CBG Migranes And Muscle Soreness

CBG is more effective than CBD in relieving migraine headaches and decreasing muscle soreness. 

7. CBG Helps Bladder Function

A 2015 study evaluating how five different cannabinoids impact the bladder concluded that CBG offers the most significant promise for treating bladder dysfunction. 

You might want to add this little-known cannabinoid to your health regimen to relieve anxiety and stress, improve mood, or manage pain.
