At first the industry only really knew about THC, the cannabinoid that is responsible for the “high” you get from marijuana. THC has notable medicinal properties that led us to understanding CBD. CBD as a great anti anxiety and anti inflammatory has made waves through the world. With legalization and further research we have been able to grow plants high in and isolate out the CBG. What is CBG? Expect to see it a LOT more in the near future.
CBG is a parent molecule of CBD and THC which means as the plant grows and matures it creates CBG then breaks it down into CBD and THC. If we are able to harness this cannabinoid before it is converted we can do great things.
CBG is great as a painkiller and has great anti microbial and anti carcinogenic properties. It has been noted and researched for helping with neuro-inflammation in MS patients. This is VERY important. Inflammation is responsible for many degenerative diseases. Inflammation around our neurons can cause delayed thought and wasted energy. Most don’t think about that brain fog or forgetfulness as being something that we can alter however you can clearly notice how we can increase the problem with a night of drinking. The better we take care of ourselves, the better we eat the better our brains can feel and this is due to reduced inflammation throughout the body but mainly the reduced inflammation around our neurons.
As time goes on we will find many more uses for CBG however they will most likely stem off this property. Reduce inflammation in the brain and you will reduce pain and increase brain productivity.
