What is CBG?

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a minor cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids” due to its role as a precursor to other cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Despite being less abundant in mature cannabis plants, CBG is gaining attention for its unique therapeutic properties and potential health benefits. CBG is typically found in higher concentrations in young cannabis plants. As the plant matures, enzymes convert CBG into other cannabinoids, resulting in lower levels of CBG in fully grown plants. This rarity makes CBG a valuable and sought-after compound in the cannabis industry.

One of the most notable aspects of CBG is its potential therapeutic benefits. Research suggests that CBG may have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and neuroprotective properties. These effects make it a promising candidate for treating a variety of conditions.
