Cannabigerol, or CBG, is a cannabinoid that functions a lot like CBD, but it is far less abundant in hemp. CBG’s scarcity makes it harder to extract and thus more difficult (and more expensive) for consumers to find, but it’s becoming more well-known.

With nicknames like “the mother cannabinoid” and “the stem cell of cannabinoids,” CBG occupies a special place among its kindred compounds. Young hemp maintains higher concentrations of CBGa. As the plant matures, CBGa converts to THCa, CBDa, CBCa, and other cannabinoids with molecular carbon tails.

Because of this conversion, hemp extractors seeking CBG must find the perfect window before CBG shapeshifts into other cannabinoids. Advanced extraction methods and experimenting with high-CBG hemp genetics made cannabigerol oil more obtainable. But because of these inherent difficulties, CBG is more common as an isolate than a whole-plant extract. In fact, many leading brands add CBG isolate to a full spectrum CBD oil, which is anything but a full spectrum CBG oil.

Broad spectrum CBD oil is a type of CBD oil that contains a range of compounds naturally found in the cannabis plant, including other cannabinoids and terpenes, but no THC. This means that it provides some of the potential benefits of full spectrum CBD oil, such as the entourage effect, without the risk of THC contamination.

Broad spectrum CBD oil is a good option for people who want to avoid THC for personal or legal reasons, but still want to take advantage of the potential benefits of other cannabis compounds. It is also suitable for people who may be sensitive to THC or who want to avoid any trace amounts of THC in their CBD products.

To be considered broad spectrum, a CBD oil must go through an additional process to remove THC after extraction. This is why it may be more expensive than some other types of CBD oil.

CBG and CBD parallel in many ways, but each is thought to possess nuanced characteristics as well. Both cannabinoids are non-psychoactive, unlike THC, and they interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. The ECS is a recently-discovered cell-signaling system located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. It consists of endocannabinoids, receptors the cannabinoids bind to, and enzymes that break the cannabinoids down to elicit a bodily response. Just like how a caffeinated cup of coffee boosts focus or a sugary cupcake can create a happy feeling in the brain, each endocannabinoid creates its own response in the ECS.

CBG oil tinctures may have a range of potential benefits, including reducing stress and promoting relaxation. They may also have mood-elevating and improved wellness effects.

CBG is generally considered to be safe and well-tolerated, with few reported side effects. However, as with any supplement, it is possible that some people may experience minor side effects such as dry mouth or drowsiness. It is also important to note that CBG can interact with certain medications, so it is always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

It is generally not recommended to use any supplements, including CBG oil, during pregnancy or breastfeeding without the guidance of a healthcare provider.

It is important to store your CBG oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its quality and potency. It is also a good idea to keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use.
