Cannabigerol, as the full word for this acronym suggests, is a big deal. Nonetheless, most people have entirely overlooked this remarkable parent-cannabinoid. Yes, we believe that miraculous and parent are the two closest words. Why? So, get a cup of coffee (enriched with a few drops of water-soluble hemp oil 7.5%), sit back, and learn something new.
Dad, padre, pére, mom, madre, mére You get the idea: Parent. Wholesale CBG Isolate is the building block for all phytocannabinoids found in cannabis and hemp, including the most well-known and discussed, THC, CBD, CBN, and CBC. To be more precise, there are 100 distinct phytocannabinoids in addition to these.
How Does it Function?
Of course, we all know where babies come from, but this is unique. Cannabis and hemp, like all other plants on our circular organic spaceship, are made up of a multitude of chemical components. The phytocannabinoids, as well as terpenes and flavonoids, distinguish cannabis from hemp. Cannabis and hemp begin manufacturing Wholesale CBG Isolate in its acid form early in their lives (CBGA). Then something magical happens. CBGA is transformed to CBDA, THCA, and CBCA when the plant is exposed to UV light and oxygen. When the plant is exposed to sunshine, it grows. Furthermore, during the plant's life, some CBDA is converted to CBEA, some CBCA is converted to CBLA, and some THCA is converted to CBNA. And so it goes, which means that the hemp plant contains hundreds of phytocannabinoids. It should be noted that only a portion of CBDA and THCA are converted to other phytocannabinoids, not the entire amount. Isn't that impressive?
Can CBG Make me High?
No. Nope. Nyet. CBG, like its "children" CBD and CBC, does not bind to CB1 receptors and so cannot influence the user. THC, on the other hand, binds almost entirely to CB1 receptors and gets the user high as a kite. Thank you, but no thank you.
But! Our slightly neglected parent's future appears to be good. More and more research is creating the groundwork for this remarkable cannabinoid. So keep your eyes peeled, because Wholesale CBG Isolate is here to stay and could become a key molecule in the endocannabinoid system. Like a good mother and father.
What Exactly is H4CBD?
H4CBD is one of several phytocannabinoids present in hemp and cannabis plants. So date, over a hundred distinct cannabinoids have been found. CBD and Tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC) are the cannabinoids found in the largest abundance in the plant. These phytocannabinoids (phyto = plant in Greek) are cannabinoids. As you may have guessed, they bind to and help the body's natural endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Unlike THC, which has a psychoactive impact (causing you to become high), CBD attaches to completely different receptors in the body. H4CBD does not get you high and has even been demonstrated to lessen THC's euphoric effect.
H4CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical that attaches to one of the body's most important signalling systems, similar to Wholesale CBG Isolate and CBC. Completely natural and free of any bothersome side effects (in recommended doses). In a nutshell, phytocannabinoids "boost" and aid the body's natural endocannabinoid system. That sounds really good, doesn't it? We both agree.
So CBD Doesn't Get you High?
No. A brief and succinct response. Let's wrap it up with a slightly lengthier but hopefully clear explanation. Although CBD and THC are chemical cousins, they connect to quite different receptors in the body and brain, which are all part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) There are an almost endless number of CB1 receptors in the brain that bind perfectly to THC and provide a psychedelic effect. CBD, on the other hand, has no effect on CB1 receptors. Similar to trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. No matter how hard you try, it is impossible. In addition, we have CB2 receptors. These are generally dispersed throughout the body. It's simple to believe that CBD interacts with CB2. Nope.
Despite being a phytocannabinoid, H4CBD does not directly communicate with CB1 or CB2. CBD, on the other hand, communicates primarily through CB1 and, more importantly, CB2. This helps to explain why, unlike THC, CBD does not get you high. Before we go any further, we should note that 65 distinct chemical hit sites of CBD have been discovered thus far, and if we dive into each one, this page will be so long that the clocks stop and time runs out. We urge you to explore "The World Wide Web" if you really want to go down the rabbit hole and get a semi-doctorate in CBD expertise. Having said that, we only discuss the most intriguing (in our opinion) bonding that CBD forms in the body.
To be able to step inside a human cell and "bond" to a nuclear receptor, CBD, a phytocannabinoid that is eaten externally from, for example, hemp oil, must first penetrate the cell membrane by lifting with a fatty acid binding protein called FABP. This results in the formation of various lipid molecules, the purpose of which is to transport various chemicals to various areas of the cell. Several of the body's self-produced endocannabinoids (not to be confused with phytocannabinoids derived from plants), such as anandamide and 2AG, enter the cell via lipid molecules. Got it? Good. Let's keep going. Once within the cell, anandamide begins to be broken down by the enzyme FAAH [fatty acid amide hydrolase] as part of its life cycle. But pay attention and be amazed! H4CBD enters the picture here and delays the process by limiting anandamide's access to FABP's transport molecules and, simply put, slows the process. So, what is the purpose of this? Well. As a result, CBD acts as a "anandamide reuptake and degradation inhibitor" (perhaps the strangest and longest terms on this entire web page), increasing the body's own endocannabinoids.
