Cannabigerol, or CBG. The buzz is building rapidly, and some are calling it “the new CBD.”
As consumers begin to turn to CBG as an alternative or complement to CBD, it is important to review the current scientific landscape around CBG research. What do we actually know about CBG? How does it work? Is it safe?
Let's clear up all those questions!
👉What is CBG?
Cannabigerol, or CBG, is a cannabinoid found in the Cannabis plant, like CBD or THC. It is found primarily in its acidic form, cannabigerolic acid.
👉How does CBG work?
Like CBD, CBG works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system within our bodies. The endocannabinoid system is a complex collection of receptors (CB1 and CB2 receptors), endocannabinoids, and enzymes. Unlike THC, CBG does not cause psychoactive effects.
👉Is CBG safe?
Compared to more well-studied cannabinoids like THC and CBD, there have not been a lot of safety studies performed on CBG. In one study examining CBG’s effects on appetite in rodents, the rodents were given up to 240mg/kg of CBG and no adverse effects were detected.
