have you heard of CBG?
Discover the hidden power of CBG, the precursor to all cannabinoids.
CBG (cannabigerol) is often called "The Mother Cannabinoid" because all other cannabinoids including CBD, start as CBG. It is non-intoxicating and non-addictive.
Although we often hear about cannabinoids like CBD or THC, as many as 148 different cannabinoids have been found in hemp plants, along with a multitude of terpenes and other beneficial components depending on the specific variety and growing conditions. As the precursor (mother) cannabinoid, CBG is converted to other cannabinoids as the plant matures, leaving only a small amount of CBG in most mature plants. Hemp plants that are dominant in CBG require the right breeding, cultivation, and harvesting. HARE HEMP products are made from extract that naturally contains high levels of CBG along with a multitude of other beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes found in the USDA Organic Hemp grown at the Hare Family Farm.
So, how does CBG work in the human body?
Humans have what is called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). As a “system” the ECS is different from other systems of the body, such as the nervous, digestive, or endocrine systems. The ECS spreads across the entire body. It’s a network of receptors and neurotransmitters that regulate important functions such as mood, appetite, pain perception, inflammation and more. This messenger system is involved in connecting all of the body’s organs and systems, keeping homeostasis and harmony in our bodies. The ECS affects almost every area of mental and physical well-being in the body and mind, making it a true “mind-body system.”
CBG's unique interaction with the ECS sets it apart from other cannabinoids. It is thought to work "behind the scene", interacting with both the CB1 and CB2 receptors, thereby helping with chronic stress and inflammation. Through this interaction, CBG is also thought to strengthen the function of anandamide, a neurotransmitter in the brain which regulates pleasure and motivation, appetite, sleep and pain perception. With its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body’s organs, CBG has been shown to be beneficial to a variety of health conditions.
With science on board,
we believe in nature’s truths
and the deep pervasive wisdom of plant medicine.
