What Are Phytocannabinoids?

Phytocannabinoids are compounds produced naturally in hemp and other cannabis plants. There are over 100 phytocannabinoids produced by the hemp plant. Although most are present at very low levels, a few of the major phytocannabinoids include CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, and THC. THC is the only phytocannabinoid that will produce a high or intoxicating effect.

CBG serves as the pre-cursor or mother phytocannabinoid to many others, including CBD and THC. Because industrial hemp plants are known to produce only trace amounts of CBG, we take sophisticated measures to extract CBG for its use in RECEPT.

Similar to the endocannabinoids produced by the human body, phytocannabinoids activate the endocannabinoid system accelerating its ability to modulate balanced homeostasis via cellular interaction with the body’s systems.

Having a direct effect on the Endocannabinoid System and cannabinoid receptors, CBG provides a wealth of benefits that support preventative, chronic, and acute care. A major finding of CBG is its neuro-protective and neuro-regenerative traits.
