Let’s talk cannabigerol or more commonly known as CBG or the mother of all cannabinoids because other cannabinoids (THC & CBD) are derived from CBGA ( cannabigerolic acid) / the acidic form of CBG.  

CBG is processed by our Endocannabinoid system, which is made up of molecules & receptors! Our bodies have two types of cannabinoid receptors CB1 & CB2. CB1 can be found mostly in our nervous system and brain. CB2 can be found in our immune system and other areas of our body. CBG is said to work by binding to both receptors boosting the effects of anandamide a neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, sleep, pleasure, pain. CBG is however non-psychoactive and will not give you intoxicating effects. Overall studies are limited but the possible benefits just keep piling up! 

I’ve been taking CBG regularly for a while now, at a daily dose that works well for me and I’ve been definitely noticed benefits. (Dose is personal and should never be dictated by what works for someone else. ) 

CBG products are not as common but with more hitting the legal market shelves I knew I had to talk to you about my personal favourite CBG product & the possibly benefits of adding CBG to your routine! 

Let’s talk pearls! 

CBG pearls by grön- Marionberry lemonade 

25 pack with less then 1% THC & CBD but packing 10mg CBG per gummy… for 250mg a package. 

First off they come in a recyclable plastic tube and that’s something I can heavily support and feel like they deserve a shout of for. No extra packaging just the easy to dispose tube! 

The flavour is “ Marionberry lemonade”, You get that sweet yet bitter berry flavor that’s so pleasant and then BOOM there is a sour that takes you by surprise and shows you were the “Lemonade” really came from! This was easily my favourite flavour they have to offer aside from their blackberry lemonade which is fairly similar in flavour, I just find the Marionberry to be far more sour!   

The gummies themselves are small, purple, pearl shaped & sugar coated. The texture I find is similar to gummy bears, soft and chewy!  

I love this particular product because it’s delicious, discreet & easy dosing at home or on the go. Oils can be messy and not completely accurate, capsules are fabulous but pearls, pearls are perfect! 

I mentioned above I’ve been taking CBG daily for a while now, about 5-6 weeks approximately and I’ve noticed a change in my overall mood in the morning which set the tone for the day, a boost in my focus as well a boost in motivation. it’s definitely been improving my mood and energy levels but I also struggle with stomach/bowel issues and have noticed an improvement in pain and symptoms that I truly believe came from my new habit of daily CBG as I’ve changed nothing else and kept a close eye on how the CBG effects my body personally. I can’t say enough good things about Cannabigerol (CBG), it was/is the boost I needed, the missing piece to my feel good puzzle. 

It’s products like this that show you that you can really benefit from the power of plants without any intoxicating feelings, effects or combustion!  

Take the time to do your own research but I highly recommend adding CBG & other cannabinoids to your routine!
