About Geranylgeraniol
Geranylgeraniol (GG) is a naturally occurring compound found in plants, including annatto (Bixa orellana). It belongs to a large family of compounds called isoprenoids.
GG is connected to the mevalonate pathway—a series of biochemical reactions involved in producing substances used throughout the body. Within cells, GG can be converted into geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), a compound involved in modifying certain proteins so they can carry out their cellular functions.
Researchers study GG to better understand its relationship with cellular metabolism and signaling. These biological roles do not, by themselves, establish the effects of taking a GG supplement.
