CBG vs. CBD

Most animals (and all humans) are born with an Endocannabinoid System (ECS) in their body that can help regulate memory, appetite, metabolism, stress, anxiety, immune system activity, pain management, and sleep. Natural compounds in the body such as anandamide and 2-AG work with our ECS every day, but hemp's cannabinoids like CBD, THC, and CBG also work with our ECS. 



CBD does not directly bind to ECS receptors; it simply modifies receptors’ ability to bind to other cannabinoids. Cannabigerol (CBG), on the other hand, binds directly to

your receptors, causing direct effects in the body.
