CBG Dosage - How Much Should You Take?
Author: Lucie Garabas
Understanding CBG Dosage
Although there is a lot of information about cannabinoids, the dosage can often confuse consumers. Cannabigerol (CBG) is available in many forms, with CBG oils being the most common. Due to the lack of detailed articles on CBG dosage, we have decided to provide a comprehensive guide on the proper CBG dosage and how much you should take.
Factors Affecting CBG Dosage
The appropriate CBG dosage depends on several factors, including weight, age, genetics, liver metabolism rate, health condition, and the concentration of CBG drops. The endocannabinoid system, which CBG interacts with, varies in sensitivity from person to person, influencing the response to CBG.
General Dosage Guidelines
| Health Condition | Dose/Day |
|---|---|
| Prevention | 2 - 4 mg per day |
| Health Problems | 7 - 50 mg per day |
| Recovery (after training) | 2.5 - 25 mg per day |
| Stress | 2 - 5 mg several times a day |
| Insomnia, Sleep Problems | 10 - 20 mg one hour before bedtime |
CBG Oil Dosage
The basic rule is to start with a small dose and gradually increase it. Divide the dosage into 2-3 doses per day, such as 2 drops per dose. Increase the dosage every 5-10 days until you achieve the desired effect. It is important to note that as a natural supplement, CBG may not provide immediate effects like medication. Allow your body, specifically your endocannabinoid system, time to adapt to cannabinoids.
Dosage for 2% CBG Oil
2% CBG oil is suitable for prevention and strengthening health and immunity. For prevention, take 2 drops twice a day.
1 drop of 2% CBG oil = 0.76 mg CBG
| Health Condition | Dose/Day |
|---|---|
| Prevention | 2 x 2 drops per day of 2% oil |
| Mild Health Problems | Start with 2 x 2 or 3 x daily 2% oil and gradually increase every 5-7 days |
| Insomnia, Sleep Problems | 10 - 20 drops one hour before bedtime |
Dosage for 5% CBG Oil
For health problems or older individuals, a stronger concentration of 5% CBG oil is recommended. Start with 2 drops twice a day (morning and evening) and increase gradually until the desired effects are achieved.
1 drop of 5% CBG oil = 1.68 mg CBG
| Health Condition | Dose/Day |
|---|---|
| Severe Health Problems | Start with 2 x 2 or 3 x daily of 5% oil and gradually increase every 5-7 days |
| Recovery (after training) | 3-4 drops twice a day or after training |
| Stress | Start with 2 x 2 drops daily of 5% oil and gradually increase every 5-7 days |
| Insomnia, Sleep Problems | 5 - 10 drops one hour before bedtime |
By following these dosage recommendations, starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it, the risk of side effects is low. Gradually introducing the substance helps your body adapt to it (CBG is not addictive), ensuring cooperation with cannabinoids and minimizing side effects. However, if side effects occur, they may include nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting.
Dosage of CBG Liquids for Vaping
Vaping CBG liquid results in rapid onset of effects, but these effects wear off more quickly compared to drops. It is advisable to vaporize the liquid using a vaping pen. The recommended daily dose is about 1 ml, with optimal effects achieved by spreading the doses throughout the day and before bedtime.
CBG Tea Dosage
Drinking hemp tea with CBG is not just a ritual; it offers many benefits. CBG tea is an excellent aid for falling asleep, so it is recommended to take it an hour before bedtime. The ideal daily dose is 2 cups, each containing about 400 ml.
Conclusion
Several factors determine the appropriate CBG dosage, as outlined above. It is always important to review these factors before taking CBG. Cannabigerol is not a psychoactive substance and does not have intoxicating effects like THC.
