What is water-soluble CBG?
CBG is cannabigerol, the compound hemp makes first and later converts into CBD, THC and other cannabinoids as the plant matures. It is non-intoxicating, so it does not cause a high the way THC does.
Cannabinoids are oils, and oil does not mix with water. Drop a regular CBG oil tincture into coffee and it beads up and floats. A water-soluble tincture is made as an emulsion: the CBG is broken into very small droplets and coated so they stay spread through a water-based drink. Our product page describes ours as a nano-emulsion.
Water-soluble CBG vs CBG oil: what is the difference?
| Water-soluble CBG | CBG oil | |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Emulsion that disperses in water | Carrier oil (often MCT or hemp seed oil) |
| In coffee or water | Mixes in | Beads and floats |
| Taste in a drink | Near-neutral | Can leave an oily film |
| Best use | Stirred into drinks or recipes | Taken on its own |
How do you use a water-soluble CBG tincture?
- Pick your serving from the label: a full dropper is about 10mg (300mg bottle) or about 30mg (900mg bottle). A half dropper is half that.
- Add it to a drink, hot or cold: coffee, tea, water, juice or a smoothie.
- Stir and drink.
- If you cook with it, avoid long exposure to high heat.
If you are new to CBG, the product page suggests starting with the 300mg bottle. Talk with a licensed healthcare provider before using any hemp product if you are pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medication, or have a diagnosed medical condition.
300mg or 900mg: which size should you choose?
Both bottles hold 30 mL. The 900mg bottle packs three times the CBG into the same volume, so each dropper carries about 30mg instead of about 10mg. Choose the 300mg bottle if you want a smaller amount per dropper. Choose the 900mg bottle if you already know your serving and want the lower price per milligram: about 5.6 cents versus about 8.3 cents at label strength. Our guide on how to choose a water-soluble CBG tincture covers the choice in more detail.
What does the lab certificate show?
SC Labs of Santa Cruz, California, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory (PJLA No. 87168), tested batch 50226 and issued the certificate on 8 August 2026. It measured a 30 mL unit at 867.87mg total CBG and 24.42mg total CBD, with total THC not detected. The test covered cannabinoid potency and THC. Read the signed PDF on the CBG tincture certificate page, or see every certificate we publish on our certificate of analysis page.
Can you put water-soluble CBG in coffee?
Yes. That is what the water-soluble format is for. Add your serving to a brewed cup, stir once, and drink. If you already drink our CBG coffee, the tincture lets you choose the exact amount per cup yourself. We wrote a separate walkthrough on adding water-soluble CBG to coffee.
Will water-soluble CBG get you high or show up on a drug test?
CBG is non-intoxicating. The current certificate for our tincture reports THC as not detected. Drug tests vary, though, and no hemp product can guarantee a result. If you are subject to testing, check with whoever administers it before using any hemp product. Federal hemp rules are changing in late 2026.
