CBG (Cannabigerol) is known as the 'stem cell cannabinoid' or the 'mother of all cannabinoids'. This is because CBG is the original molecule that all other cannabinoids come from.

Over time, the acidic form of CBG - CBGa, breaks down into CBDa, CBCa, and THCa. When subjected to heat, light, or naturally over time, these acidic forms begin to convert to CBD, CBC, and THC.

CBG Oil is expensive to make as the hemp plant only produces very low levels of CBG, normally less than 1% of the plant's total weight. This means much more raw materials and work are needed to create an oil with significant levels of CBG when compared to extracting CBD.

CBG interacts with our endocannabinoid system differently to CBD. CBD tends to influence the endocannabinoid system through indirect actions with receptors, which in turn seems to help promote the balance of internal systems.

CBG, however, appears to directly interact with the CB1 and CB2 receptors. This difference in interactions explains why many feel different effects from CBG, and also why CBD and CBG together are a high efficacy combination.

As with CBD, more research is needed to substantiate many of CBG's potential benefits.
