CBG is an effective additive to CBD that offers numerous health advantages of its own. Interacting with the endocannabinoid system, CBG regulates mood, stress levels, sleep quality and pain to provide effective regulation for better quality life.
Molecularly speaking, CBD interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors to increase GABA production, thus relieving anxiety and improving sleep quality.
1. It Helps with Pain
Cannabigerol (CBG), often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” serves as the precursor for CBDA, THCA and CBCA – these acids will eventually decarboxylate into CBD, THC and CBC respectively when heated (decarboxylation). CBG works similarly but doesn’t produce as intense an effect like its fellow cannabinoids such as THC.
Studies have indicated that CBG works to alleviate pain through its interaction with receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS), according to some research. Furthermore, its modulation of inflammatory markers may assist with treating bowel problems or other autoimmune conditions.
One study demonstrated that combining CBD and THC helped relieve both movement-induced pain as well as rest-related discomfort for those in their 60s and 70s suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, while improving sleep and decreasing anxiety. While promising, further investigation should take place.
2. It Helps with Inflammation
CBG can effectively reduce inflammation by binding to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain, nervous system and immune system. This helps control overactive immune cells that attack joints and skin in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis; additionally it protects against neuropathy caused by chemotherapy treatments; finally CBG increases anandamide, one of our natural endocannabinoids known as “the bliss molecule,” helping alleviate anxiety while providing peace and relaxation.
CBG serving as the chemical parent to CBD, CBC, and THC. CBG enhances each cannabinoid’s effects while diminishing psychoactive side-effects; when combined with CBD in tinctures or gummies for shared benefits like stress reduction and sleep aiding properties. If taken alone it offers focused energy that can aid productivity and focus.
3. It Helps with Sleep
Cannabigerol (CBG), one of hemp’s naturally-occurring cannabinoids that interacts with your endocannabinoid system, can provide energy as well as focus and stress management benefits.
Cannabinoids such as CBD have also been shown to assist with sleep disorders by increasing serotonin durations and regulating anxiety levels, as well as helping improve REM sleep in Parkinson’s patients, helping those suffering PTSD experience less anxiety, and thus better restful nights’ rest. Studies suggest it could even aid Parkinson’s patients by improving REM sleep; evidence also points toward its efficacy for managing anxiety levels while providing better restful REM sleep for them as well.
CBG works wonders in combination with CBD to provide comprehensive benefits that address pain and inflammation while soothing anxiety, relaxing tension and aiding restful sleep. When used together, these substances can address root causes rather than simply treating symptoms of poor sleeping.
CBG can be found in many delivery systems as roll-ons, tinctures, capsules and CBD muscle balms. Tinctures should be placed under your tongue before waiting for their effects to take hold; capsules can be swallowed directly for greater convenience.
4. It Helps with Stress
CBD and CBG have many positive attributes that help balance moods and alleviate stress, such as interacting with neurotransmitters that regulate our body’s endocannabinoid system to lower stress hormones and facilitate relaxation.
CBG can also help reduce inflammation in the brain by binding to ionotropic receptors like TRPV1 and inhibiting their breakdown. Furthermore, studies have also indicated that it prevents serotonin degradation – an essential neurotransmitter known for providing mental clarity and mood stability.
Customers report that our CBG products, like Quiet Monk Sleep Gummies, promote deep relaxation without feeling overly sedated or stimulating. They can be taken in various forms including tinctures, edibles, topicals or topicals for consumption. Furthermore, unlike THC which will show up on drug tests; CBG makes an ideal solution to help enhance mood while relieving stress while maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
