Proleve offers a variety of CBD and CBG products, including gummies, isolate, and tinctures. But you may be wondering: what is the difference between CBD and CBG? What are their effects and therapeutic properties? And which cannabinoid is best for my needs?
Read on to learn everything you need to know about CBD vs. CBG, including the differences and similarities between these two compounds.
CBD and CBG are phytocannabinoids produced by the hemp plant, which synthesizes these molecules under natural growing conditions. When consumed through hemp products, CBD and CBG produce their effects by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a network of receptors and neurotransmitters that spreads throughout the body and brain, and it regulates many key processes involved in our physical and mental health.
Non-Intoxicating: CBD and CBG are both non-psychoactive; unlike Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC, they do not produce a “high,” and have no intoxicating effects. (If you’re seeking a psychoactive, recreational alternative, try one of our THC tinctures).
Endocannabinoid System Support. CBD and CBG produce their benefits by interacting with CB1 receptors--which are located in the brain, and influence processes such as mood, sleep, and stress--and CB2 receptors, which are located throughout the body, and influence processes such as inflammation, pain, energy, and digestion.
Therapeutic Properties. Both CBD and CBG are associated with a wide range of therapeutic effects for both body and mind. See the lists below to explore the types of wellness support that these compounds can provide.
Though CBD and CBG have similar therapeutic properties, they also feature key differences. Read on to learn more about the differences between CBD and CBG, and to find out which cannabinoid is best for your wellness goals.
CBG is especially popular among customers seeking to maximize productivity, mood, and stamina. CBG produces these effects by boosting anandamide, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, cognition, and inflammation. Researchers suggest that CBG also regulates other, key neurotransmitters involved in mood, motivation, and attention.
For this reason, our CBG+B12 Gummies are the best edibles for energy and focus.
