CBGA, the acidic precursor to cannabigerol (CBG), is the genesis of many major cannabinoids derived from cannabis – including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The biosynthetic pathway, or lifecycle, of a cannabinoid molecule is triggered by a variety of environmental influences, including temperature, UV light, and oxygen exposure.
Seven Cannabinoids in One
CBGA results in not only seven analogs of itself, but produces the acidic precursors for all other major cannabinoids. By understanding the lifecycle of this molecule, scientists can craft special cultivars of cannabis and create products with unique and specialized cannabinoid profiles.

Analogs
Cannabinoids exist not in a single state, but rather multiple versions go a source molecule called an acidic precursor. These variants are called analogs. This
ECS Receptor Types
The endocannabinoid system is populated by millions of specialized cellular receptors that bind perfectly with both endocannabinoids (such as anandamide and 2-AG) and the phytocannabinoids
Bioavailability
Technically speaking, bioavailability is the amount of a molecule or chemical that is readily available in the bloodstream. In terms of the consumption of CBG
Cannabinoids
What’s a Cannabinoid? Simply speaking, cannabinoids are molecules that exist naturally in both the human body and cannabis plants. Cannabinoids from cannabis are called phytocannabinoids
CBG
You’ve probably heard of popular chemotypes like Sativa and Indica, or the lesser-known Ruderalis, but did you know scientists have discovered a possible 4th chemotype?
