Study: Cannabigerol (CBG) Shown Safe in Preclinical Models, May Boost Lifespan and Mobility

A newly published study in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research has found that cannabigerol (CBG), one of the lesser-known cannabinoids gaining popularity in consumer markets, does not exhibit acute or long-term toxicity in preclinical models. In fact, researchers observed evidence that CBG may increase thermotolerance, preserve late-life mobility, and extend mean lifespan in a …

Study: Topical Use of Cannabigerol (CBG) Shown to Reduce Rosacea Symptoms

A new study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences finds that topical application of cannabigerol (CBG) may effectively reduce symptoms of rosacea by targeting inflammation and vascular dysfunction. Researchers from The Catholic University of Korea used a mouse model induced with LL-37 to mimic rosacea-like skin inflammation. Mice treated with CBG showed significant …

Study: Cannabigerol (CBG) Reduces Fat Accumulation and Improves Heart Cell Function Under Lipid Overload

According to the results of new study, cannabigerol (CBG), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, may help protect heart cells from lipid-induced damage by reducing fat accumulation and modulating fatty acid metabolism. Researchers from the Medical University of Bialystok evaluated how different concentrations of CBG (2.5 µM, 5 µM, and 10 µM) affected heart-derived H9c2 cells under lipid …

Study: Cannabidivarin (CBDV) May Help Improve Motor Coordination and Cognitive Function in Rhett Syndrome Patients

Researchers from Universidade de Lisboa and the Gulbenkian Institute of Molecular Medicine have found that chronic administration of cannabidivarin (CBDV), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid, may help alleviate some symptoms of Rett Syndrome in a female mouse model of the disorder. Rett Syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental condition caused primarily by mutations in the MECP2 gene, which …
