Curious About Cannabinoids? CBD, CBG, CBN and CBC, how to choose the right one!
At Lhasa OMS, we’re dedicated to providing wellness products you can count on—including products containing cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC. These little plant-powered superheroes come from the hemp plant and are just a few of the 100+ compounds found in cannabis, each with its own unique “personality.”
Understanding the differences and their benefits can be overwhelming, and prescribing the right one for your patients is important, so let’s break them down.
- CBD (cannabidiol) has earned its reputation as the go-to cannabinoid for cultivating calm and restoring balance.* Whether you’re looking to ease stress or enhance overall wellness, CBD is a trusted ally in everyone’s self-care toolkit.*
- CBG (cannabigerol) is affectionately dubbed the “mother of all cannabinoids.” This rising star is celebrated for its potential to sharpen focus, boost energy, and support a happy, healthy digestive system.*
- CBN (cannabinol), on the other hand, takes a more soothing approach. Known as the ultimate unwind companion, its sedative properties make it a favorite for those seeking sleep support.*
- CBC (cannabichromene), is one of the celebrated “big six” cannabinoids because of its promising anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.* CBC also amplifies the effects of its cannabinoid counterparts, working in harmony to deliver even greater benefits.*
These cannabinoids interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of chemical signals and cellular receptors throughout the brain and body that regulate various physiological processes, including mood, pain sensation, appetite, and sleep.
CBD: The Star of the Show
CBD is popular for a reason. It’s non-intoxicating (it won’t get you high) because it contains no more than 0.3% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) by dry weight, which is the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high. The low THC content means hemp-based CBD products can offer benefits without intoxicating effects such as its ability to maintain bodily homeostasis and overall wellness.
CBD comes in a variety of forms, making it easy to find the perfect option for your needs. From oil tinctures, gummies, soft gels, and capsules to topicals, patches, and skincare, there’s something for everyone. Explore our curated selection of premium CBD brands, including Charlotte’s Web™, CBDvantage, cbdMD offering high-quality tinctures, gummies, and softgels. Or discover our pain-relieving topicals from CBD CLINIC and +PlusCBD that are designed to provide targeted relief.
Find the perfect fit for you or your patients’ needs with our extensive range of trusted CBD products—all crafted with care to support your wellness journey.
CBG: The Unsung Hero
Often called “the mother of all cannabinoids,” this powerhouse is paving the way for other cannabinoids to shine. Found in young hemp plants, early research indicates that CBG teams up with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help deliver health-promoting effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-anxiety effects, tending to be uplifting and energizing.* The only catch? It’s a rare treasure! Since cannabis plants produce it in tiny amounts, CBG-infused products are harder to come by—but you’re in luck because we sell tinctures containing CBG from trusted brand LuZa and NuLeaf Naturals!
CBN: The Chill Cousin
This lesser-known gem is all about relaxation, making it a go-to for those looking to wind down and catch some quality Z’s. Unlike its more famous relatives, CBN forms when THC takes a little too much sun, air, or heat—basically, it’s what happens when cannabis ages like fine wine. The result? A naturally soothing compound that works with your endocannabinoid system (ECS) to promote balance, ease stress, and support deep, restful sleep.*
CBN may be rare, but you can still find it in dreamy oil tinctures and deliciously calming gummies from brands like Charlotte’s Web™ with their wildly popular Stay Asleep Gummies, and +PlusCBD which has their Reserve Collection Sleep Gummies. Find CBN in an array of flavored gummies and oil strengths here.
CBC: The Underrated Sibling
While it might not be as famous as CBD or THC, this rising star is the third most abundant cannabinoid in hemp and is packed with potential. Think of CBC as CBD’s cool younger sibling, both born from CBG and bringing their own unique benefits to the table. Early research suggests CBC may help with pain relief and inflammation—talk about a powerhouse!*
You’ll often find CBC teaming up with CBD in oil tinctures and other wellness products for a dynamic duo of plant-powered goodness. Ready to experience the magic? Explore CBC-infused blends and see what the buzz is about!
