These include stimulating appetite, lowering intraocular pressure in glaucoma, protecting nerve cells in Huntington's disease, and more. It also inhibits cancer growth and decreases tumor...

Studies have demonstrated that CBG inhibits bacteria and may be a useful tool in the fight against antibiotic resistance. This could lead to new therapeutic strategies in patients and contribute to the development of novel drugs. These in vivo experiments show that CBG can reduce the growth of colon cancer cells by suppressing their proliferation and migration. This is mediated through the...
