Welcome, we would like to introduce you to a phytocannabinoid with high therapeutic potential, specifically CBG Cannabigerol Oil.
CBG is actually cannabigerol, which is found in hemp at a concentration of about 1%. It is actually one of the first cannabinoids to be produced in cannabis during its maturation. It is sometimes referred to as the "stem cell" of cannabis.
It is found in higher concentrations during the development of hemp, often in an acidic form known as CBDA. The enzymes then break down CBGA into THCA, CBDA or CBCA. CBG oil, like CBD oil, does not have a psychoactive effect and at the same time has a pro-health effect.
Research on CBG provides promising results in numerous therapies. However, since CBG is most commonly found as a transition product with a relatively low concentration in the plant, the therapeutic use of CBG oil may be limited by the small amounts of the compound obtained in hemp extraction. Fortunately, recently, thanks to refining culture, it was possible to obtain hemp chemotypes in which the appropriate enzymes have been eliminated, thanks to which they express 100% of the content of phytocannabinoids as CBG, thanks to which we later obtain CBG oil.
Recently, CBG has proven to be an effective cytotoxic agent acting on epithelial cancer in humans and the second most effective phytocannabinoid in the fight against breast cancer after CBD. In addition to the well-known strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties (including those acting on Staphylococcus aureus), CBG oil also has a moderate antifungal effect.
Numerous studies suggest a possible synergistic effect of CBG with terpenoids. Terpenoids act quite strongly. They have a unique healing effect, which can significantly contribute to the so-called synergy effect of medicinal extracts based on hemp. For example, limonene has shown interaction with CBG and CBD, promoting the process of apoptasis in breast cancer cells, and myrcene, a terpenoid present in hops, interacts with CBG and CBD to block carcinogenesis in liver cancer caused by aflatoxins.
In turn, linalool, a terpenoid found in lavender, appears to interact with CBD and CBG to treat anxiety. CBG also showed synergistic effects in the company of another terpenoid, caryophyllene oxide, a natural compound present in lemon balm, acting antifungal at a level comparable to available popular drugs. ALSO, CBGa has synergistic properties with terpenoids found in lemon balm acting as an insect repellent, making it a promising alternative in protecting crops and vegetables from insects and parasites.
Hemp Shop in cooperation with a reputable company Endoca has developed CBG oil 15%, which can be used as an antidepressant or oil to increase the potency of the CBD oil used in the case of many chronic diseases, e.g. in cancer therapy.
