CBG
What is it?
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a type of cannabinoid referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids because without it, cannabis would have no high. This is because all other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), an acidic form of CBG. CBG is found in smaller quantities than other cannabinoids in cannabis plants. In most strains of the plant, only 1% of CBG can be found
CBG works by binding to both receptors where it’s thought to strengthen the function of anandamide, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in enhancing pleasure and motivation, regulating appetite and sleep, and alleviating pain. A 2021 patient survey indicated a majority of patients found CBG-dominant products effective in treating their chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, among other conditions.
Where should I start?
If you are new to CBG (or any cannabinoid for that matter) we always suggest going low and slow. Start with just a little, see how it feels and increase or decrease from there. Finding the proper amount of CBG for yourself is crucial. Too little and you will not experience desired results, too much can be a waste of product.
How do I use your Mixing Powder?
Our CBG Mixing Powders include a 25mg serving spoon. It is incredibly versatile. Use in the morning as a “daily supplement” and at night to help regulate sleep systems.
We recommend using it twice per day. It is important to remember that every endocannabinoid system is different. If after a week you are not seeing the intended result, please contact us. Ideally, it is best to navigate this process under the guidance of a qualified physician.
