Minor Cannabinoids: Small Compounds, Big Potential 🔬
THC and CBD may be the superstars, but the cannabis plant produces over 100 other cannabinoids—each offering unique benefits for your body and mind. These “minor cannabinoids” might be present in small amounts, but they play a major role in the full-spectrum wellness effects of cannabis.
🌱 What Are Minor Cannabinoids?
Minor cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in smaller concentrations within the cannabis plant. They interact with your endocannabinoid system just like THC and CBD, helping regulate mood, inflammation, and energy.
Let’s meet a few standouts:
- THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) – Sometimes called “the diet cannabinoid,” THCV may help curb appetite, support metabolism, and increase focus.
- CBC (Cannabichromene) – Non-intoxicating, believed to support mood, brain health, and inflammation balance.
- CBG (Cannabigerol) – The “mother cannabinoid,” known for calm focus, gut health, and gentle energy support.
⚗️ Why They Matter
Minor cannabinoids work together in what’s known as the entourage effect—a natural synergy that amplifies each compound’s benefits. As research grows, these cannabinoids are proving vital for targeted relief, energy, mood, and beyond.
