What is CBG oil, and how is it different from CBD oil? Those are the right questions to start with — and answering them plainly, without drift into health territory, is what this page does. CBD Oil Adelaide stocks CBG oil for Adelaide alongside our full CBD range, priced in Australian dollars and shipped to Adelaide CBD, Glenelg, Norwood, Prospect and across SA. Here is the product picture, from the plant chemistry to the label to the legal position in SA.
What is CBG oil?
CBG oil is an oil that carries a single cannabinoid — cannabigerol — dissolved in a neutral carrier. The one we sell uses a coconut-derived MCT carrier, the same food-grade base used in our other oils. So the product is simple to describe: cannabigerol in MCT oil, bottled at 50ml, with the total milligrams stated on the front.
"CBG" is short for cannabigerol. It is one of many cannabinoids that occur naturally in hemp — Cannabis sativa L. grown as a low-THC variety. Most people have heard of CBD (cannabidiol), the dominant cannabinoid in hemp. CBG is different: it is a separate molecule, and the hemp plant produces far less of it.
The oils we stock at CBD Oil Adelaide are imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam, tested by an independent laboratory for every batch, and dispatched from within Australia. A Certificate of Analysis is available for any batch on request — that document is where the cannabigerol content and the THC figure are confirmed in writing.
What is cannabigerol — and why is it called the "mother cannabinoid"?
Cannabigerol is the compound the hemp plant makes first. As the plant grows, it produces an acid form called cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). Plant enzymes then convert most of that CBGA into the precursors for the other major cannabinoids — including CBD and THC — as the plant matures. By the time the plant is harvested, very little CBG remains.
That sequence is the origin of the nickname "mother cannabinoid." It is a botanical fact about timing and chemistry, not a statement about what the oil does. CBG comes first in the plant's biosynthetic chain; the others are made from it. The word "mother" describes position in a chemical process, nothing more.
It also explains something about price. Because so much of the plant's initial CBGA is converted away during growth, extracting a useful amount of cannabigerol requires more starting material than for CBD. A cbg oil typically costs more than a CBD oil at the same milligram — a supply reality, not a signal of quality.
CBG oil, CBD oil and CBN oil — how they differ
If you are on the product range page comparing CBG oil, CBD oil and CBN oil side by side, here is what actually distinguishes them by composition.
CBD oil is the most familiar. CBD (cannabidiol) is the dominant cannabinoid in the hemp plant and the primary compound in our CBD range. It comes in two forms based on what else the extraction kept:
- Full-spectrum CBD oil is a whole-plant extract with CBD alongside minor cannabinoids, natural terpenes, and a legal trace of THC under 0.3%. Our full-spectrum 1000mg is the entry bottle at $89.95.
- Broad-spectrum CBD oil is the same whole-plant extract with the THC removed through an extra step, so it tests at 0% THC while keeping the other cannabinoids. Our broad-spectrum 1000mg is also $89.95.
CBG oil is a single-cannabinoid oil built around cannabigerol. It is not a form of CBD oil; it carries a different molecule from the same plant family. The CBG oil 1000mg starts at $89.95.
CBN oil is different again. CBN (cannabinol) is the cannabinoid that forms gradually as hemp ages and oxidises, rather than being synthesised by the fresh plant. Our CBN is supplied as a THC-free isolate, meaning it carries cannabinol as the single compound. The CBN oil 1000mg is $89.95.
What all four oils share: the same 50ml bottle format, the same MCT carrier, and the same batch-testing process.
What is in our CBG oil bottles
The composition of every CBG oil we carry is stated on the label and confirmed by the Certificate of Analysis. When you pick up a bottle of cbg oil, the front label carries one key number: the total cannabigerol content. Our cbg oil range runs from 1000mg up to 12000mg, all in 50ml:
- CBG oil 1000mg — 1000mg cannabigerol, 50ml, 20mg per ml — $89.95
- CBG oil 3000mg — 3000mg cannabigerol, 50ml, 60mg per ml — $220
- CBG oil 6000mg — 6000mg cannabigerol, 50ml, 120mg per ml — $390
Every bottle is hemp extract in coconut-derived MCT. No other active ingredients. No THC claim is made without the COA to back it — request the batch report before you buy if that figure matters to you.

How to read the CBG oil label
The label skills that apply to CBD oil apply here too. Two numbers do most of the work.
Total milligrams — the number on the front of the bottle (say, 3000mg) — tells you how much cannabigerol is in the whole 50ml. Divide that by the volume and you get the concentration per millilitre: a 3000mg bottle delivers 60mg per ml; a 1000mg bottle delivers 20mg per ml. That figure tells you how much cannabigerol each measured serving contains.
The second thing to check is the carrier oil. Ours states coconut-derived MCT on the label. If a label does not name the carrier, that is basic composition information missing.
Finally, confirm the product comes with a batch-specific COA — the Certificate of Analysis that verifies the cannabinoid figure and THC content. For any batch we stock, email info@adelaidecbdoil.com.
If you want a plain walkthrough of how the dropper, the millilitre and the milligram figure work together in practice, our guide to using CBD oil covers the mechanics — the same method applies to a cbg oil bottle.
Is CBG oil legal in SA?
The short answer: cbg oil sits within Australia's national cannabinoid framework, governed federally rather than at the state level. South Australia follows the same national rules as every other state, so the position for buyers in Adelaide is straightforward.
What is on the label — the cannabinoid and the THC content — is what the regulations speak to. Our cbg oil is described by composition, sold to adults 18 and over, and posted within Australia. We make no health claims, and we do not describe our products as therapeutic goods.
For the current national position on cannabidiol and related cannabinoids, the authoritative source is the Therapeutic Goods Administration. The TGA publishes Australia's regulatory framework and any changes to it.

Frequently asked questions
What is CBG oil? CBG oil is cannabigerol — a minor cannabinoid from the hemp plant — dissolved in a coconut-derived MCT carrier. It carries a single cannabinoid, not a full-plant extract like CBD oil. The label number is the total cannabigerol in the 50ml bottle.
Is CBG the same as CBD? No. CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) are two distinct molecules from the same plant. CBD is the abundant one; CBG is a minor cannabinoid the plant produces in smaller quantities and converts into others as it matures. Our full-spectrum CBD oil and broad-spectrum CBD oil pages describe the CBD side in detail.
Why does CBG oil cost more than CBD oil of the same mg? Because cannabigerol is scarcer in the plant. Most of the plant's initial CBGA is converted into other cannabinoids before harvest, leaving less CBG to extract. More plant material is needed to reach the same milligram figure — a supply fact, nothing more.
Does CBG oil contain THC? That depends on the batch and the product. Request the Certificate of Analysis for the specific batch — that document states the cannabinoid and THC figures confirmed by the lab.
Is CBG oil legal in SA? Cannabinoid products are governed nationally by Australia's regulatory framework via the TGA. Our oils are sold to adults 18+, described by composition, and posted within Australia.
