What is the CBG?
Currently, most people familiar with cannabis have heard of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) and their operation, but did you know that there are many similar compounds in cannabis?
A less known cannabinoid called cannabigérol (CBG), although it is not abundant in most varieties, is worth known for a number of reasons.
How is CBG (cannabigérol) made?
Since the CBG is present in small quantities (generally less than 1%) in most cannabis varieties, it is considered a minor cannabinoid. Cannabis plants produce cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), a precursor of three main cannabinoid lines: tetrahydrocannabic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabichromic acid (CBCA).
Is the CBG research?
You will find below links to interesting articles:
In animal experiences involving mice, the CBG has been studied to test its potential to treat disease
inflammatory of the intestine.
A recent study of 2015 on the CBG claims that it helps protect neurons in mice with Huntington disease, characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain.
In a study Led on CBG and cancer, CBG has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in the colon in mice, thus slowing the growth of colon cancer. In accordance with this study, the CBG has inhibited tumors and carcinogenesis of the colon induced chemically, thus showing a very exciting potential for healing of colon cancer.
European studies have shown that CBG is a antibacterial agent Effective, in particular against Staphylococcus Aureus strains resistant to methicillin (STM) which are resistant to several classes of drugs.
Researchers are enthusiastic about these preliminary results of the CBG and promote future research with the CBG or the CBG alone in combination with other cannabinoids and therapies to deal with many conditions. Since CBG is not a psychotropic substance.
What are the medicinal properties of Cannabigerol CBG?
Overall, the healing properties of the CBG are similar to those of the CBD. Several scientific studies show that the CBG reduces the pain, reduces the inflammation the cause of certain diseases such as Crohn's disease, is an excellent inducer of sleep and has antidepressive properties.
On the other hand, the CBG (can inhibit) the growth of cancer cells, which helps to slow the progression of colon cancer. In addition, the CBG can be a powerful partner in the treatment of glaucoma because it can lower intraocular pressure.
