CBG gummies are a great way to get pre-dosed concentrations of cannabigerol without having to smoke cannabis or fuss with measuring oils.
The main health benefit of taking CBG gummies is to support the endocannabinoid system, which can help with stress, mood, discomfort, gut health, and more.
Their convenient, tasty format and the ability to combine them with other cannabinoids and other herbal ingredients make them a good choice for those looking to support their wellness naturally.
All Benefits in CBG Gummies
CBG is a lesser-known cannabinoid, but new research is showing that it may support various aspects of health. While the benefits we’re presenting here are promising, we want to remind you that CBG gummies aren’t FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent any diseases, and much of the research is still in its early stages.
8 CBG Benefits to Feel
|
Potential Benefit |
Research |
|
Supports Inflammatory Response |
Early studies suggest that CBG might support the body's natural processes that manage inflammation, though more research is needed to confirm these effects [1]. |
|
Manages Discomfort |
CBG may manage discomfort by influencing the endocannabinoid system, which perceives pain and discomfort. CBG could help maintain comfort during daily activities by supporting the body's natural pathways [1, 2]. |
|
Promotes Relaxation |
CBG is thought to help promote relaxation by interacting with GABA receptors in the brain that influence mood and stress. This interaction may support a sense of calm and help reduce occasional stress, offering a natural way to support relaxation [3]. |
|
Enhances Focus and Clarity |
Some people report improved concentration and sharper mental focus when using CBG. CBG may help maintain mental clarity and focus by supporting the endocannabinoid system's role in regulating cognitive functions [4]. |
|
Supports Digestive Health |
CBG may aid in promoting digestive wellness by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating gut function. There’s some research looking at CBG for inflammatory bowel disease but nothing conclusive [5]. |
|
Neuroprotective Support |
Preliminary studies indicate that CBG may offer neuroprotective support by interacting with receptors involved in brain health and providing antioxidant protection [6]. |
|
Non-Psychoactive |
CBG is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the "high" associated with cannabis. This makes CBG a viable option for those looking to experience the potential benefits of cannabinoids without the intoxicating effects [7]. |
|
Supports Eye Health |
CBG is being studied for its potential to support eye health, particularly by helping to maintain healthy intraocular pressure [8]. |
CBG and Inflammation
Inflammation is like your body’s alarm system — it kicks in when something is wrong, like when you get a cut or have an infection. The body sends extra blood and special cells to the area to help fix the problem, which is why you might see redness, swelling, or pain.
But sometimes, inflammation can happen when it’s not needed or lasts too long, which can cause issues.
CBG might help by interacting with the endocannabinoid system, which is like a big communication network that helps keep things in balance, including inflammation.
Scientists are still studying how exactly CBG does this, but they believe it may help reduce unnecessary inflammation. While the research looks sound, it’s still in the early stages, so we don’t know everything yet, like how it works in the human body and its long-term effects.
Just to reiterate, CBG isn't a cure or treatment for inflammation-related diseases, but it might help support your body’s natural processes in keeping inflammation in check.
CBG and Discomfort
If you stub your toe, pain signals are sent to your brain to let you know there’s an injury, so you can take care of it. But sometimes, pain can stick around even after your body has healed, or it might happen when there’s no clear injury.
CBG may help with discomfort through its interactions with the ECS, which we know is involved in inflammation and pain perception.
For instance, if your muscles are sore after a workout, CBG could help by supporting your body’s natural ability to ease that soreness. Scientists are still learning how CBG works for pain and discomfort, so more research is needed to understand its potential benefits fully.
CBG and Stress
When stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol that prepare you to deal with the challenge. But if you feel stressed too often or for too long, it can start to affect your overall well-being.
When CBG interacts with cannabinoid receptors, it might help your body better manage its stress response, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. This could be especially helpful in situations where you feel overwhelmed.
While some early research suggests that CBG could help support relaxation, CBG is not a treatment for anxiety or stress disorders.
Other CBG Gummy Benefits
Taking CBG in gummy format offers several additional advantages that make it a good option over other CBG formats and even other hemp products.
- Fast Onset and Long-Lasting: CBG gummies are a convenient and consistent way to eat CBG, with effects typically felt within 30 minutes to an hour after ingestion. Compared to smoking CBG products, ingesting CBG can also have longer-lasting effects (3-5 hours, depending on the dose and the individual tolerance)
- Pleasant Taste: Unlike other forms of CBG, such as oils or capsules, gummies are often flavored, making them more enjoyable. The pleasant taste makes incorporating CBG into your daily routine easier, even for the pickiest of eaters.
- Combination with Other Cannabinoids: CBG gummies can be formulated with other cannabinoids, such as CBD, to enhance their potential benefits. For example, CBD + CBG gummies have the combined effects of both cannabinoids, potentially providing a more balanced approach to supporting relaxation and discomfort management.
