CBG Hemp Extracts: High-Potency Cannabigerol for Versatile Applications
CBG extracts represent one of the most concentrated and versatile ways to incorporate the benefits of CBG (cannabigerol) into various products. Extracted from CBG-rich hemp, these extracts are the foundation for many CBG oils, tinctures, topicals, and edibles. Whether you’re a consumer looking for a potent dose of CBG or a manufacturer developing new products, CBG extracts provide a flexible and powerful option.
At Rhizo Sciences, we specialize in producing premium CBG extracts through CO2 extraction and ethanol extraction, ensuring that our extracts maintain their purity and potency. Available in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum forms, CBG extracts offer the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the hemp plant, providing a robust and effective CBG product.
What Are CBG Hemp Extracts?
CBG hemp extracts are highly concentrated forms of cannabigerol, pulled from the hemp plant through specialized extraction techniques. These extracts contain the active compounds found in CBG-rich hemp, including CBG, other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
•Full-Spectrum CBG Extract: Contains all cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant, including CBG, CBD, CBC, and THC (less than 0.3%). This type of extract is favored for its entourage effect, where the combination of cannabinoids enhances the overall therapeutic effect.
•Broad-Spectrum CBG Extract: Similar to full-spectrum, but with THC completely removed. This option is ideal for those who want the benefits of multiple cannabinoids without any THC.
How Are CBG Hemp Extracts Made?
CBG extracts are created by separating the cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds from the hemp plant material. The two most common methods for extracting CBG are CO2 extraction and ethanol extraction.
CO2 Extraction
•CO2 extraction is a highly efficient and clean process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant. This method is known for producing solvent-free extracts that retain the full cannabinoid and terpene profile of the hemp plant.
•CO2-extracted CBG is ideal for creating full-spectrum extracts, where the goal is to preserve as many of the plant’s natural compounds as possible.
Ethanol Extraction
•Ethanol extraction is another effective method, particularly for large-scale production. Ethanol is used to dissolve the cannabinoids from the plant material, and the solution is then refined to remove the solvent and any impurities. While this method is highly efficient, it often requires additional purification steps to remove chlorophyll and plant waxes.
•Ethanol extraction is typically used for creating broad-spectrum extracts or when producing CBG distillate for further refinement.
The Benefits of CBG Extracts
CBG extracts provide several benefits due to their concentrated nature and versatility. As the base ingredient for a variety of CBG products, extracts are ideal for both personal use and product development.
Key Benefits:
1. High Potency: CBG extracts are highly concentrated, meaning you can achieve effective doses with smaller amounts compared to raw hemp or flower.
2. Versatile Applications: Whether you’re using it in tinctures, topicals, or edibles, CBG extracts offer endless possibilities for product formulation.
3. Full-Spectrum Benefits: Full-spectrum CBG extracts contain a complete range of cannabinoids, offering the benefits of the entourage effect.
4. Non-Psychoactive: CBG extracts contain less than 0.3% THC (or none at all in the case of broad-spectrum), ensuring that they won’t produce any psychoactive effects.
Common Uses for CBG Extracts
CBG extracts can be used in a wide variety of products, making them a popular choice for both consumers and manufacturers. Below are some of the most common ways CBG extracts are used.
Tinctures
One of the most popular uses for CBG extracts is in the production of CBG tinctures. Tinctures are liquid extracts that can be taken sublingually for fast absorption. Simply drop the CBG tincture under your tongue, hold for 30-60 seconds, and swallow.
•Fast-acting: Sublingual use allows for quick absorption into the bloodstream.
•Easy to dose: Tinctures allow for precise control over your dosage.
Topicals
CBG extracts can be infused into creams, balms, and lotions to create CBG topicals. These products are used for localized relief from pain, inflammation, or skin conditions.
•Targeted relief: Apply directly to areas of discomfort for fast, localized relief.
•Skin health: CBG has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can benefit the skin.
Edibles
For those who prefer to consume their CBG through food, CBG extracts can be used to create CBG-infused edibles such as gummies, chocolates, or beverages.
•Discreet consumption: Edibles are a convenient and discreet way to consume CBG without smoking or vaping.
•Long-lasting effects: While edibles take longer to take effect, their impact is often longer-lasting compared to other methods.
Vape Products
CBG extracts can also be used in vape oils and vape cartridges, offering users a fast-acting way to consume CBG. When vaporized, CBG is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, making it ideal for those looking for immediate relief.
•Fast absorption: Vaping allows for near-instant relief as cannabinoids are absorbed directly through the lungs.
•Portable and convenient: Vape cartridges are easy to use on the go.
Full-Spectrum vs. Broad-Spectrum CBG Extracts
Choosing between full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBG extracts depends on your specific needs and preferences.
•Full-Spectrum CBG Extract: Contains the full range of cannabinoids and terpenes, including trace amounts of THC. This option is ideal for users looking to experience the entourage effect, where the combination of cannabinoids enhances the overall therapeutic benefits.
•Broad-Spectrum CBG Extract: Contains all cannabinoids and terpenes except THC. This is a good option for users who want to avoid THC altogether but still want the benefits of multiple cannabinoids working together.
