CBG Benefits: What You Need to Know

CBG Benefits: What You Need to Know

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You’re likely aware of some of the benefits that CBD offers. While very similar to CBD, CBG is actually its own thing. So, why pay attention to yet another set of three letters? Well, hopefully, you’ll see after learning a bit more about the CBG benefits discussed below.

Recap: What is CBG oil?

CBG, or cannabigerol, is a relative of CBD. CBG is actually the initial form of CBD, THC, and CBC. After enzymes in young hemp plants turn to CBG acids into CBD, THC, and CBC acids, they break down even further. What’s left? CBD, THC, and CBC.

How CBD and CBG are alike

Both CBD and CBG are among 113 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. And, furthermore, both interact with your endocannabinoid system and can help bring your body back to homeostasis or regulate other body systems. In fact, CBG has also been shown to be anti-inflammatory and antibacterial like CBD.

Talking to your doctor about CBG

Here’s where the benefits of CBG get a bit more specific. You’ll want to consult your physician if any of the following scenarios apply to you. He or she understands your health history best, as well as your current symptoms and other medications you may be taking that may interact.

Studies show CBG can effectively address symptoms of the following:

  • Bladder dysfunction
  • Glaucoma-related eye pressure
  • IBD and colon cancer
  • Neurodegenerative diseases
  • Bacterial infections
  • Appetite loss

With your physician’s advice, determining if you can benefit from CBG products may be a process of trial and error. This is much like finding out what CBD product is best for you. In the section below, we talk more about where you can find CBG products and that CBD products are likely one in the same.

Where you can find CBG products

What’s the easiest way to guarantee CBG content in a given product? Opting for full-spectrum formulas, in essence, indicates the largest spectrum of cannabinoids is included. On the other hand, broad-spectrum includes less of the cannabinoid spectrum. And, of course, isolates should only contain CBD since it is ideally isolated.

Therefore, CBG products available are those that also include other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Isolated CBG products just aren’t as common. However, these blends are not without benefits. When these natural plant compounds are combined, they create what is called “the entourage effect.” Put simply, the entourage effect describes an enhancement in therapeutic benefits already offered.

Still concerned you won’t be able to find any great products with CBG? Don’t be — some products have conveniently listed their precise cannabinoid content beyond CBD (CBG being one of them). Take a look at the following options.
