This isolate powder is not 100% water soluble. You can buy isolate powder that is completely water soluble, but this would leave a really bitter aftertaste and comes in much lower strengths. These may also contain alcohol, so it’s for those reasons we wouldn’t recommend using water soluble CBG.
Although our isolate powder isn’t 100% water soluble, when it comes to mixability some methods are better than others.
Hot drinks – When you mix your isolate powder with a hot drink such as tea or coffee, the powder will dissolve into a natural, oil-like substance. This will be slightly visible on the surface of the drink. Using hot milk – dairy or plant-based – is beneficial as the natural oils within the milk will mix with CBG.
Smoothies – If you decide to make a smoothie, your isolate powder will be dispersed evenly when blended.
Cold liquids – If mixed with cold drinks such as water or juice, your isolate powder won’t dissolve properly, forming a powdery residue on the surface.
If you don’t mind the slightly bitter, earthy taste, you might find the best way to get the CBG isolate into your system is by taking it under the tongue (also known as sublingually). Sublingual administration is actually superior to taking it orally as less of the compound is destroyed by your digestive enzymes.
On the other hand, for those who’d prefer to avoid the ever-so-slightly unpalatable taste, you can simply sprinkle the product onto food or add it to a delicious smoothie.
Regardless of which way you choose to take your CBG powder, just be sure to get the dosage correct as you could quite easily take too much if you forget to weigh it beforehand.
