Rose Gold R'ntz
(Apples & Bananas x White Runtz)
Find OnlineBred by Compound Genetics, Rose Gold R’ntz is an exotic cross of White Runtz and Apples & Bananas. It’s deep violet and volcanic-black crags are juxtaposed by a rich, chunky overcoat of milky, amber trichomes accented by wisps of dark orange pistils. The aroma here is complex, with notes reminiscent of fresh roses, citrus, creamy blueberries, and sweet fruit. Some may also find whispers of classic R’ntz as the buds are broken down. On the pallet, this enchanting aroma gives way to flavors reminiscent of sweet, creamy berries and sour citrus. This one is as stunning as it is delicious!

Myrcene
As one of the most common terpenes present in the cannabis plant, abundant levels of myrcene can be found in cultivars from around the world. Often used as an additive in food manufacturing, myrcene can be found naturally in mangos, lemongrass, and bay leaves. Various studies on animal models have shown some promising applications for this terpene, including sedation[1], muscle relaxation[2], anti-inflammation[3], and overall pain relief[4]. Analyses of essential oils high in myrcene content have also indicated the possible antioxidant[5] and anti-ulcer[6] properties of this terpene. Furthermore, research on mouse models has demonstrated the potential of this terpene to treat ischemic stroke, due to its neuro[7] and cardiac[8] protective effects.

Ocimene
Proven to be useful in defense against pests, ocimene can be found in several plants like basil, parsley, tarragon, and orchids. Like many other terpenes, ocimene is often used commercially for its sweet, floral, and herbaceous aroma. Although research is relatively limited, studies utilizing essential oils rich in ocimene isomers have shown promising results for various conditions. For example, one study[1] demonstrated the potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of this terpene. Another study[2] showed promising results for the use of ocimene to treat hypertension and diabetes. Several other studies have exhibited other useful properties, including possible anti-bacterial[3], anti-fungal[4], anticonvulsant[5], and anti-tumor[6] applications.

Pinene
Pinene is unique in that it has two main isomers, alpha and beta, that are both common in the cannabis plant. These isomers have the same molecular composition but different arrangements and are usually notated as α-pinene and β-pinene. As its name suggests, this terpene has a piney aroma and is abundant in most conifers. Pinene can be found in a large variety of plants, including rosemary, parsley, dill and—not surprisingly—pine trees! Various animal studies have demonstrated that pinene may exhibit gastroprotective[1], anxiolytic[2], and anticonvulsant[3] properties, as well as the potential to improve sleep quality[4]. In addition, some animal and in vitro studies have implicated this terpene as a potential treatment for various neurodegenerative diseases[5], including Alzheimer’s[6] and Parkinson’s Disease[7], due to its neuroprotective properties[8]. In vitro research, including studies on essential oils rich in pinene, has shown that pinene may display antioxidant[9], anti-inflammatory[10], and antimicrobial[11] effects. Finally, as with several other terpenes, pinene has been linked to anti-tumor[12] and anti-cancer[13] activity.

Limonene
Limonene is a terpene commonly found in the peels of citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges, as well as in cannabis flowers, spruce trees, and other plants. It is commonly used in foods, beverages, fragrances, cleaners, and cosmetics due to its pungent sweet citrusy aroma. It has been identified in peer-reviewed research as inducing anti-stress[1], anti-anxiety,[2] anti-depressant,[3] and anti-inflammatory (in the airways)[4],[5] effects in mouse models. It has also been identified as having antioxidant[6] and anti-cancer[7] properties in human trials and has been identified as a potential muscle relaxant[8] and relaxation aid[9].

Linalool
Linalool is a naturally occurring terpene found most commonly in lavender and basil. Due to its sweet, floral aroma, it is often used as an additive in several household products like soap and perfume. Several animal studies have implicated this terpene in the potential treatment of various conditions, including depression[1], anxiety[2], stress[3], inflammation[4],[5], and pain[6]. In addition, animal models have demonstrated that linalool may possess anti-convulsant[7], anti-asthma[8], and sedative[9] properties. Human trials have even linked the usage of linalool-rich essential oils to menstrual pain relief[10].
