CBG Oil: The Future Of Pain Relief

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant and our new favorite at Harbor City Hemp. Cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are well-known, but CBG has only recently caught our attention for its potential therapeutic benefits. 

It appears that CBG is like the unsung hero of the cannabis plant, often overlooked but with a great deal of potential to provide comfort and relief. Fortunately, research is starting to uncover the benefits of CBG Oil, making it a powerful ally in natural healing and wellness.

Today, we’ll look at the properties and effects of CBG Oil and help you find your way around hemp’s ever-evolving market.

CBG: What Is It?

Before uncovering CBG’s benefits and applications in depth, we must first understand what it actually is. CBG stands for Cannabigerol, a cannabinoid similar to THC and CBD that is found in cannabis. It is often called “the mother of all cannabinoids” due to its acidic precursor, CBGA.‌ It is also the building block of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and other cannabinoids in the cannabis plant.

By the time the plant matures, most of its CBGA is turned into other molecules. This leaves very low amounts of CBG in the mature, dried flower – usually below 1% by dry weight. Some strains, however, can produce close to 20% CBG (but only a small amount of THC) – which is ideal for medical cannabis enthusiasts.

CBG has recently gained popularity due to its therapeutic properties, such as its anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety effects. It has also been shown to have potential applications in dealing with various medical conditions, such as glaucoma and inflammatory bowel disease.

How To Take Your CBG Dose

There are several options for taking CBG, depending on your preference. You can take CBG orally, either as an oil or tincture, or you can use it as a capsule or topical cream. You can also combine CBG with other products, such as edibles or vape cartridges. Here we will explore some of the most popular methods’ benefits and potential drawbacks:

CBG Oil

CBG oil is a type of oil derived from hemp plants that contain a high concentration of cannabidiol (CBD). Unlike other types of oil, CBG oil has many beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and analgesic properties, which make it a popular choice for natural pain relief. 

CBG oil is generally more potent than other CBG options, and it is also easier to consume and absorb than tinctures. Here we have a complete guide on How to Use CBG Oil Properly.

CBG Tinctures

CBG tinctures are an excellent choice because they are easy to use and have a fast-acting onset. They also have a more concentrated dose of CBG than other methods, making them more effective. 

Our Harbor City Hemp CBG Tincture 250 mg is one of the most popular CBG tinctures on the market and is made with organic hemp extract, MCT oil, and natural flavors. However, tinctures taste strong, and the absorption rate is somewhat lower than other methods. 

Therefore, it is important to be mindful of dosage and taste when using CBG tinctures. Compared to CBG oil, which has a milder taste and is easier to measure doses, tinctures can be more difficult to dose and more challenging to take.

CBG Isolate

CBG Isolate is a type of Cannabidiol (CBD) that has been refined and processed to remove all other compounds, including THC, from the hemp plant. This allows for a product that is up to 99% pure, providing users with a concentrated form of the healing compound. 

With its purity and concentrated form, CBG Isolate offers users a distinct and powerful level of relief from therapeutic applications. Compared to CBD oil, CBG isolate is more expensive due to its highly concentrated form. 

However, the cost of CBG isolate is offset by the fact that users only need to use a small amount of the product to achieve the same effects as a larger dose of CBG oil. Check out Harbor City Hemp CBG Isolate to experience all these promises and more.

What Are CBG Oil Potential Benefits?

In spite of the limited research on CBG, in all its forms, there is evidence that it offers several benefits. Let’s explore each benefit of CBG oil in more detail:

Pain Relief 

CBG has shown promising results as a pain reliever for inflammation, arthritis, headaches, migraines, muscle pain, and other chronic pain conditions. It works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps to regulate pain and inflammation throughout the body. 

Bowel Disease

CBG oil is a possible therapeutic option for patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, as it has the potential to reduce inflammation in the gut. CBG oil also provides hope for those suffering from this condition, as it could relieve symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Glaucoma

By reducing the pressure inside the eye, CBG helps patients with glaucoma. It does this by improving fluid drainage from the eye, thus reducing pressure buildup. In addition, CBG helps protect the optic nerve from further damage due to increased pressure. CBG product costs may vary depending on the type and severity of glaucoma, but it is generally a fairly affordable option.

Bladder Dysfunctions

Cannabis can affect bladder contractions in many ways. CBG oil, in fact, shows the most promise for treating bladder dysfunction among the other five cannabinoids. The addition of CBG oil to your food could potentially reduce bladder contractions and restore bladder function by activating the endocannabinoid system. 

Compared to prescription drugs, which can have undesirable side effects, CBG appears to be a safer alternative for relieving bladder dysfunction.

Bacterial Infections

Several studies suggest that CBG kills bacteria, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), responsible for drug-resistant staph infections. Often, these infections are difficult to treat and can be extremely dangerous. Furthermore, this makes CBG a valuable and potentially life-saving tool in the battle against these dangerous infections.

Appetite Loss

Studies suggested that CBG oil could stimulate appetite. CBG appears to act on the endocannabinoid system, which regulates hunger and satiety. By activating certain receptors in the brain, CBG could lead to increased appetite and food intake. CBG has been studied as a potential therapeutic agent for HIV and cancer patients who experience reduced appetite, as well as for people who suffer from anorexia.

More research is needed to determine the exact mechanism of action of CBG oil on appetite and its potential clinical applications.

How Does CBG Compare To CBD?

CBD and CBG are non-intoxicating cannabinoids that do not get you high. According to studies, they act as anti-inflammatory agents by interacting with the same receptors in the body. Additionally, both exhibit various other therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and helping to regulate the immune system. 

There are, however, some differences between CBD and CBG in terms of benefits and functions.

Of course, we can’t ignore the fact that CBD has been the subject of a decent amount of research, but CBG has not. The popularity of CBG, however, will probably lead to more studies in the future. This suggests that CBG has great potential to become a beneficial supplement with even more scientific backing in the future.

What’s The Difference Between Full-spectrum And Broad-spectrum CBG?

Full-spectrum CBG contains all of the compounds found in the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Broad-spectrum CBG, on the other hand, contains all of the compounds found in the cannabis plant minus THC. 

The allure of Full-Spectrum CBG is that the compounds work together to create a synergistic effect that amplifies the effects of each compound, known as the entourage effect. This enhances the therapeutic benefits of CBG while minimizing potential adverse effects. 

As such, it is completely understandable why our Harbor City Hemp Full-Spectrum CBG Tincture 1200 mg has garnered such excitement recently.

Does CBG Cause Any Side Effects?

So far, there has been limited research into the potential side effects of CBG. Thus, further research is needed to determine the exact mechanism of action of CBG on appetite and to investigate the potential side effects of CBG. For instance, many ask if CBG Causes the Munchies. 

As with any supplement, it is important to talk to your doctor before taking CBG. They can help you determine if it is the right supplement for your needs and help you monitor for any potential side effects. Furthermore, if you take any kind of medication, it’s wise to check with your healthcare provider before taking CBG.

Choosing A CBG Product

Compared to CBD, CBG products are much harder to find. You must do a bit more legwork to ensure you’re getting high-quality CBD or CBG since neither is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the effort is worth it because CBG has unique properties and potential benefits.

To help you begin, here are some tips:

Check For Third-party Testing

Companies that produce CBG products should always have their products tested by an independent third-party laboratory to ensure their quality, potency, and safety.

Check the lab report on the company’s website or by email before buying CBG, and ensure the products are third-party tested.

Extraction Methods

Different extraction methods can yield different levels of potency and purity of CBG. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that the product you purchase comes from a reliable extraction method. Third-party testing can ensure that the product contains the level of CBG stated and is free of any contaminants.

Positive Reviews From Users

User reviews can provide valuable insight into how the product performs, how it tastes, and how it smells. They can also help identify any potential side effects or adverse reactions, so consumers can make an informed decision before making a purchase. This is why it’s important to read through user reviews carefully before making a purchase.

Is CBG Legal?

The legal status of cannabigerol (CBG) varies from country to country. In the United States, CBG is not listed as a controlled substance and is federally legal, although some states have their own restrictions on cannabis products.

As far as Canada is concerned, CBG is legal for possession and sale. In the European Union, CBG is legal as long as it comes from hemp plants and contains less than 0.2% THC.

Can CBG Show Up On A Drug Test?

Since CBG is not a drug containing no THC, it will not show up on a drug test. However, if you are concerned about passing a drug test, it is best to stick to products like Harbor City Hemp THC-Free CBG Tincture 1500 mg, which is guaranteed to be THC-free.

We test every batch of our CBG tincture for cannabinoid potency, and the isolate used for the extract is additionally screened for heavy metals, residual solvents, and pesticides. The product has no psychoactive effect, so you can use it without any worries. This product contains less than 0.3% THC, so it won’t give you a high, and it won’t be addictive. Our products aim to offer affordability, quality, and purity. We carefully select our suppliers and hold them to the highest quality standards, ensuring that every batch of CBG tincture is safe and effective.
