CBG: Precursor To the THC and CBD


This CBG has been considered as the precursor, or the “chemical parent,” of the cannabinoids since all of the other cannabinoids, such as the major CBD cannabinoids and THC, starts as CBG.
The cannabis plants produced cannabigerolic acid or CBGA, a non-acidic form of the CBG. Particular enzymes within the plant then it will break the CBGA down into the other acidic cannabinoids, like the cannabidiolic acid or the CBDA and the tetrahydrocannabinolic acid or the THCA.

Once this cannabis plant is heated or aged, the process is called as decarboxylation, these acids converted to THC and CBD, the active edition of these cannabinoids.


The CBG advantages for glaucoma:

1. Neuroprotective Properties                                   5. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
2. Appetite Stimulant                                                     6. Overactive Bladder
3. Encourage Bone Growth                                          7. Skin Conditions
4. Antitumor Properties                                                8. Antibacterial Properties

Neuroprotective Properties – the CBG that had been illustrated to have the neuroprotective properties, assuring scientists that this cannabinoid alone, or with the combination with the other cannabinoids or the therapies, will be beneficial for this treatment of the neurodegenerative illnesses such as the Huntington’s disease.

Appetite Stimulant – in one animal study of 2016 where they discovered evidence that the CBG may act as the well tolerate appetite stimulants. In the case study, the CBG has been able to elicit the hunger without the need to cause any adverse side effect.

Encourage Bone Growth – the CBG and the other cannabinoids have shown that the interaction with the CB2 receptors stimulates the bone marrow stem cell, recommending they would be advantageous for both of promoting new bone formation and growth and helping the curing of the bone fractures.

Antitumor Properties – in the 2006 laboratory case study found evidence that the array of cannabinoids, with the CBG, has been able to slow down the progression and increase of tumors connected to particular cancers such as breast, prostate, thyroid, leukemia, colorectal, stomach, and glioma cancers and there had been another study in the year 2014 that found the CBG effectively hampered in the growth of the colon cancer.


Anti-Inflammatory Effects – and like with the other cannabinoids, the CBG had been shown to decrease inflammation, prompting researchers that suggest it would be advantageous for the curing of the autoimmune diseases. The CBG has confirmed that it inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 or COX-2, an enzyme accountable for inducing an inflammatory response.
The anti-inflammatory properties of CBG have also been illustrated to possibly be beneficial for the inflammatory bowel diseases and multiple sclerosis also.

Overactive Bladder – the researchers have discovered evidence that the CBG and the other cannabinoids are efficient for decreasing bladder contractions, recommending that they can be advantageous for curing different bladder dysfunctions.

Skin Conditions – the CBG had been illustrated to possibly inhibit the keratinocyte proliferation, recommending that it would play the therapeutic role in an effort to soothe the skin conditions like the psoriasis.

Antibacterial Properties – the CBG has demonstrated antimicrobial and antifungal properties also. In the 2008 study, the CBG has been highly effective towards the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or (MRSA), the highly prevalent, yet an antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
