We all heard about CBD oil, the popular wellness supplement which is taking over the market. But have you ever heard of CBG? For those who didn't, CBG is a parent of CBD and THC. Young cannabis plants have plenty of it, and it breaks down to CBD and THC in the later stages of growth.

Besides the molecule structure, the difference between CBG & CBD is how they interact with our bodies. We will compare all the features of both and find a winner of the CBG & CBD battle.

What is CBG?

CBG or Cannabigerol is one of more than 100 cannabinoid compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBG is the parent molecule from which other cannabinoids are synthesized. It is initially present in the plant, but after it turns into other cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, CBG can be found in very small amounts (around 1%).

All CBG Benefits, CBG may be helpful with:

Anxiety

Insomnia

Night terrors

Depression

High eye pressure

CBD vs CBG

Some studies showed that full-spectrum cannabis products are better than CBD isolate. CBG is considered a full-spectrum product since it has a broad palette of cannabinoids inside. The power of different cannabinoids working together is more potent than one isolated cannabinoid alone. Studies claim that CBG and generally full-spectrum cannabis products are more effective.

After all, it is only logical that if we are searching for the power of nature and plant medicines, we would want the active ingredients of the plant are saved as much as possible.

CBG oil is still a rare and expensive product in cannabis industry. Since CBG requires an early harvest of the plant, and it's found in small amounts, it still didn't gain the same popularity as CBD.
