Spoiler alert: If you've already read our guide on CBG you've probably already heard of CBGA. In this guide, we'll dive deeper into this unique cannabinoid acid and explain:
- What is cannabigerolic acid (CBGA)?
- What does CBGA do and how does it work?
- What is the difference between CBG and CBGA?
- Where can you find CBGA?
What is cannabigerolic acid?
CBGA or cannabigerolic acid is considered the "mother cannabinoid" and is often referred to as the "parent cannabinoid". This is because CBGA is the building block for cannabinoids such as:
- THCA
- CBDA
- CBCA
- CBG
And why, you may ask, are some of these cannabinoids important? THCA and CBDA, when decarboxylated, become the two best known cannabinoids: THC and . CBGA also plays an important role in the important role in the cannabis plant by helping to release resources into the flowers of the plant flowers of the plant. For this purpose CBGA supports supports programmed cell death in the leaves of the plant. This process maximizes the plant's energy to produce produce both resin and seeds. seeds.
What does CBGA do and how does it work?
As with many cannabinoids, determining what CBGA does and how it works is still up in the air. Researchers are just beginning to study cannabinoids, how they work in the human body and how they help the endocannabinoid system to support the endocannabinoid system in maintaining homeostasis can.
We can be pretty sure that CBGA is another cannabinoid that contributes to the entourage effect - although this depends heavily on how you consume CBGA. (Remember, when you heat cannabis, the CBGA decarboxylates and it becomes a different type of cannabinoid .)
In addition, there are some animal studies that show that CBGA has effects on gut, metabolism and nerve cells nerve cells. However, more work needs to be done to truly understand CBGA.
What is the difference between CBG and CBGA?
Since CBGA is a parent cannabinoid, you can't have CBG without CBGA. When you vaporize or otherwise heat cannabis, you help CBGA convert into CBG (and a variety of other cannabinoids). Therefore, it is more difficult, CBGA in raw form to obtain in raw form.
Where can you find CBGA?
CBGA is found in a variety of products, including Concentrates, isolates and tinctures . There is also a selection of full spectrum products available that contain CBGA. However, it will be almost impossible to really know if the effect comes from CBGA or if it is all part of the entourage effect of all the cannabinoids working together in the body.
