What is CBG?
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that forms in hemp early in the plant's growth. Alone, CBG doesn't produce a high. Research suggests it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system and binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors.
The entourage effect
The entourage effect is a theory that whole-plant cannabis (containing cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids) produces a broader range of effects and a more rounded experience than isolated cannabis products. This means that CBG, when combined with THC, CBD, and other compounds, may produce more noticeable effects than when used in isolation.
The research on CBG
Preclinical research has found that CBG demonstrates anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and neuroprotective effects in cell and animal models. For example, studies have shown that CBG can reduce inflammatory markers, inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, and protect nerve cells from damage in laboratory settings.
While human research is still limited, a 2024 double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial involving 34 adults found that a single dose of hemp-derived CBG reduced participants' self-reported anxiety and stress. The study also found that CBG did not cause intoxication or cognitive impairment and improved verbal memory performance compared with placebo.
CBG vs CBD
CBG and CBD are non-intoxicating and often appear together in hemp extracts. CBD is often used by those seeking calm, comfort, and stress relief. CBG is less studied, though early research suggests it promotes well-being and mental clarity. We include CBG in our cannabis edibles to unlock the power of the entourage effect.
CBG vs CBC
CBG and CBC are minor cannabinoids that show up in full-spectrum hemp alongside THC and CBD. CBG is sometimes called the parent cannabinoid, since its acidic form, CBGA, is what the plant converts into the acids that later become THC, CBD, and CBC. Our CBG gummies also carry CBC, so a single serving offers multiple cannabinoids and the stacked benefits of the entourage effect. Shop our CBC edibles.
