Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid. Often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid," it is the first cannabinoid synthesized from hemp which then converts into other cannabinoids.Because CBG is ultimately used up to "give birth" to other cannabinoids, its extraction requires significantly more effort than CBD.
Unlike CBD that binds to CB2 receptor, CBG can bind to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in our endocannabinoid system. CB1 receptor connects to the central nervous system (CNS) consisting of our brain and spinal cord, while the CB2 receptor connects to the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
While research is ongoing and relatively young on cannabinoids, its specific interaction with the CB1 receptor in our endocannabinoid networks, which is connected to our Central Nervous System (CNS) has shown it to be more effective in stimulating sleep than CBD alone.
Melatonin has shown to be safe in small doses (1mg - 3mg) for short-term use. Each Pure Therapy gummy contains 2mg of Melatonin.Melatonin is naturally produced by the body to promote sleep. However, when our circadian rhythm is thrown off - such as for medical professionals who work overnight regularly - Melatonin supplementation has shown to be helpful in getting the body back on track with a proper sleep schedule.
