CBG Oil | Cognitive Support

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.

Full Spectrum refers to the cannabinoid profile, terpenes, and essential oils all in the CBG oil. Many users report that CBG Oil benefits are more apparent when using a Full Spectrum CBG Oil. This can potentially be attributed to the phenomenon known as the entourage effect, or the occurrence of all plant compounds working synergistically together in the body.

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.

Although the term tincture usually refers to an herbal extract made with alcohol, our Full Spectrum Certified Organic CBG Oil is mixed with Certified Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil. Similar products are commonly referred to as CBG Oil. We chose to use the term tincture as a more general term for a liquid herbal extract, and to connect it to the long human history of using plant-based medicinal tinctures. We offer a wide variety of CBG Oil Tinctures formulated to target certain benefits. Select from CBG Full Spectrum & CBG Broad Spectrum oil, each packed with our powerful CBG Oil.

Though it is not fully understood, it is believed that the ECS plays a role in regulating sleep, mood, memory, appetite, and reproduction. Both CBD and CBG interact with the receptors CB1 and CB2 and are thought to support focus*, relieve tension*, and have potential to balance mood and stress. However, CBG and CBD have slightly different molecular structures that may result in different behavior. A major difference in CBD vs CBG boils down to the amount of research at our disposal. From the available studies, we know that CBG offers potential uses that slightly differ from CBD.

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.

Extract Labs CBG Oil is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. There is no "correct" answer when it comes to choosing your strength of CBG oil, as everyone feels the effects slightly different due to individual body chemistries. Please consult with your doctor for dosage recommendations. If your doctor doesn't provide guidance we recommend starting with 0.5 ml or 1 ml of CBG oil, and then gradually increase your dose amount or frequency of dose if needed.

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.
