CBG - The New CBD with the Same Quality Concerns
Dec 02, 2025
CBD might be the firstborn, but its younger sibling CBG is quietly stepping into the spotlight. Millions of people already swear by CBD because it calms them and may help with pain. Today’s supplement world may be turning its curiosity to another cannabinoid. Just like CBD, CBG doesn’t have any psychoactive properties, but some of the early research suggests it might be able to support pain relief, gut health, and maybe even better sleep. If you think back to CBD’s initial popularity, it also brought confusion and inconsistency, leaving consumers scratching their heads about what a high-quality product actually looks like. With CBG heading down the same path, purity and third-party certification may be what separates genuine products from their competitors.
CBG Under The Hood
CBG is short for cannabigerol, which is the first compound created in the cannabis plant before it converts into CBD or THC. Unlike THC, which is the chemical that gets a person high, CBG is like CBD, it interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, pain, appetite, and sleep without any psychoactive effects. Some early studies suggest CBG may help regulate inflammation. While the research is still limited, CBG is beginning to make inroads into topical creams that are often marketed as CBD 2.0, but it has a familiar shadow that CBD had in its early days, with products that may vary wildly in potency and labelling accuracy. Without serious regulation, consumers and brands are once again left to figure out what claims they can truly trust. That’s where third-party certification can fill the void.
Purity Starts with Proof
With purity and label claims often in question, that’s where BSCG Certified CBD comes in. This program was created to bring quality, consistency, and accountability to an industry that can sometimes lack all three. Every lot of a BSCG Certified CBD product is tested for banned substances and cannabinoids to verify label claims and ensure THC limits comply with regulatory and drug-testing requirements. To go even deeper, every 10th lot is screened for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological agents. While third-party testing has become a marketing buzzword, BSCG’s certification transforms it into proof backed by scientific rigor. For brands, it means credibility with regulators and consumers alike. For athletes, professionals, and everyday users exploring cannabinoids like CBD or CBG, it’s the only way to ensure what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the product.
The Next Phase Of Trust
CBG might be something consumers are drawn to, but its future might be determined by what CBD brands learned in the past. It’s almost certain that the science around it will evolve, and more products will be on the market, meaning the marketing claims may become bolder. However, without third-party testing, purity will remain a promise instead of a proof. Whether someone is a drug-tested athlete or a military professional, the brand they choose will build trust through testing. So while CBG might be new, the rules will stay the same, and success will be built on transparency and quality. Third-party certification is the best way for brands to showcase the quality of their products to consumers.
