How Does CBG Make You Feel? What Are The Effects of CBG?
CBG might not be as well-known as other cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, but it’s making waves in the natural wellness community thanks to a number of health-supporting benefits.
CBD oil is often used to promote calming and therapeutic effects, while THC is famous (or infamous) for its psychoactive properties that cause feelings of euphoria, often referred to as a ‘high’. But natural CBG oil is different, and it’s captured the attention of scientists, researchers, and consumers around the world.
An Introduction to Natural CBG Oil
CBG, or cannabigerol, is a cannabinoid found in cannabis plants and hemp. There are over 100 other cannabinoids, so it's no surprise that scientists are only now beginning to discover its health-promoting benefits.
The cannabinoid is found in much lower concentrations than other cannabinoids like CBD and THC because, as hemp plants mature, the high levels of CBGA (cannabigerolic acid) found in younger cannabis plants break down into CBDA and THCA (which are then converted into CBD and THC). Only then is leftover CBGA converted into CBG.
It was first isolated in 1964, but due to its low concentration (its concentration is only around 1% in most cannabis plants) and the negative associations with marijuana, the cannabinoid has flown under the radar until now.
Unlike THC, CBG oils won't get you high, but more research is needed into the benefits that it offers for natural health, energy, and focus.
With the importance of natural CBG oil coming to light in recent years, scientists are working on breeding cannabis plants and hemp with higher concentrations of this elusive cannabinoid.
Understanding CBG and CBD Oil
Both CBD and CBG oils support overall health and wellness, and the similarity lies in how they interact with the human endocannabinoid system.
Neither CBD nor CBG oils have psychoactive effects, but they can help balance your body’s responses to daily stressors, helping you feel calmer when overwhelmed.
The key difference between CBD and CBG is the amount of each present in the cannabis plant. CBD typically makes up 25% of the plant, and CBG only 1% in most cannabis strains.
CBG and CBD may work together synergistically to offer better results than when using either a CBG or CBD oil alone.
Effects of CBG on Health
While early research suggests that there is evidence to support the interaction of CBG with the body’s endocannabinoid system, more research is needed into the exact nature of these interactions and the potential benefits of CBG.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS), discovered in the early 1990’s, is thought to play a vital role in regulating and balancing key functions within the body, such as energy levels, appetite stimulation, and blood pressure.
It’s a complex cell signaling network made up of endocannabinoids, enzymes, and cannabinoid receptors that maintain homeostasis, creating optimal conditions within the body so that it functions properly.
Endocannabinoids, cannabinoids that occur naturally in the body, are similar to phytocannabinoids found in cannabis plants. Phytocannabinoids, such as CBD, CBG, and other minor cannabinoids, have been shown to interact with the ECS and may support the work it does in modulating your stress responses, pain sensation, sleep, and more.
How to Consume CBG Oil
The best way to consume CBG oil will depend on your brand and the results you are looking for.
Suppose you are using CBG oil for energy. In that case, it will usually be beneficial to choose a product that offers flexibility, allowing you to adjust your dosage and timing according to your needs.
Additionally, if you are sensitive to the taste of cannabinoids, you may want to choose a product that has been flavored and contains only isolated cannabinoids or one that can be consumed with food.
A Flexible Solution
WAKE UP CBD and CBG oil offers the flexibility you need as it’s:
THC-free
You can consume it at any time of the day without worrying about psychoactive effects as CBD and CBG are non-intoxicating cannabinoids.
Isolated
Both the CBD and CBG used in WAKE UP are isolates, so you’re getting pure CBD and CBG.
Flavored
Naturally flavored, the addition of peppermint essential oil makes consumption easy and pleasant.
Concentrated
With 12.5mg of pure CBD and 12.5mg of CBG per serving, you can enjoy the potential benefits of CBG with a concentrated dose.
How to take CBG Oil
Sublingual Consumption
Sublingual consumption is generally the preferred method of CBG ingestion. CBG consumed sublingually should be held under the tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing.
While the CBG oil is held under the tongue, it can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream for the quickest, most potent effects.
Consumption with Food
If you can’t face the thought of CBG oil under your tongue first thing in the morning, you can mix your healthful serving into your morning tea or coffee, or even your breakfast, then consume as usual.
Ingesting CBG oils this way will mean that it takes longer to experience the effects of the cannabinoid as it must first be digested, along with your breakfast and morning coffee, before it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and begin its work.
The Lifestyle Benefits of CBG
CBG isolate is a natural, non-psychoactive cannabinoid that offers lifestyle-supporting properties when combined with CBD isolate.
Because the CBG has been isolated from all other cannabinoids, including THC, there is no possibility of any psychoactive effects, nor will you experience the ‘sloth effect’ that is sometimes reported by users of full-spectrum CBG oil.
This is ideal for balance and maintained productivity as there is greater control over the ingredients, which means you have more flexibility regarding where and when you want to consume it.

To ensure that you get the results you are looking for and have a safe experience, you should choose natural USA-grown hemp-derived CBG oil from a reputable brand that provides third-party lab reports for all its products.
That way, you can check for yourself that there are no insecticides, fungicides, and heavy metals and that the levels of cannabinoids contained in the product are the same as those that the seller advertises.
How much WAKE UP should I use?
The recommended serving of WAKE UP oil is ½ a dropper one to three times a day as needed.
Ideally, it should be taken sublingually (under the tongue) and held for 30 seconds before swallowing.

It’s a high-strength CBD oil offering 12.5mg CBD and 12.5mg CBG per serving, more CBG than most products on the market.
When is the best time to take CBG oil?
CBG oils are associated with managing energy levels and are therefore usually consumed first thing in the morning to balance out productivity slumps during the day.
It’s for those times that you want to feel ‘bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and you get to choose exactly when that is. If you want to feel at your best for an evening function, you could take your CBG dose just before.
WAKE UP offers a convenient, optimized combination of healthful cannabinoids to support a sense of readiness whenever you need it most.
Why use CBG isolate rather than full-spectrum CBG?
CBG isolate means that the industrial hemp has undergone further refinement, so trace amounts of THC, CBD, CBN, terpenes, and flavonoids present in full-spectrum CBG have been removed.
This allows for a more precise mix of ingredients that can be optimized to produce specific results. It also ensures that there are no THC interactions because the percentage of THC is 0.
While other beneficial cannabinoids that would have been available in a full-spectrum CBG product have been removed, the use of both CBG and CBD isolates allow for the precise control of how much CBG is consumed.
For products consumed in the workplace where there may still be negative associations with even low levels of THC, this is an added benefit compared to using full-spectrum CBG oil.
