The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system found throughout the body. It helps regulate many important functions, including mood, sleep, stress response, pain perception, inflammation, appetite, memory, and immune function. Its primary role is to help the body maintain homeostasis, or internal balance.

Your body naturally produces compounds called endocannabinoids, which interact with the endocannabinoid system to help keep the body in balance. Plant-derived cannabinoids, like CBD, also interact with the ECS, helping support its normal function.

CBG (Cannabigerol) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid present in the hemp plant. It’s a non-psychoactive compound often called a minor cannabinoid because it is typically present in much smaller amounts than CBD in mature hemp plants.

CBDA (cannabidiolic acid) is the natural, raw form of CBD found in fresh hemp plants. When CBDA is exposed to heat through a process called decarboxylation, CBDA is converted into CBD.

While CBD has been studied for decades, CBDA is a newer area of research. Early studies suggest it may have unique properties of its own and may support the body's natural inflammatory response, digestive comfort, and overall wellness. Some research also suggests CBDA may be absorbed more efficiently than CBD, though more human studies are needed.

At NYC Botanics, we value cannabinoids like CBDA because they contribute to the plant's naturally diverse cannabinoid profile, helping preserve a more complete hemp extract.

CBGA (cannabigerolic acid) is often called the "mother cannabinoid" because it is the precursor from which many other cannabinoids are formed. As the hemp plant grows, CBGA is naturally converted into cannabinoids such as THCA, CBDA, CBCA and other acidic cannabinoids as the plant grows.

Only small amounts of CBGA remain in most mature hemp plants because much of it has already been converted into other cannabinoids. However, interest in CBGA has grown as early research suggests it may have unique wellness-supporting properties of its own. Scientists are currently studying its potential role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response, digestive health, and overall wellness, though more human research is needed.

At NYC Botanics, we value cannabinoids like CBGA because they contribute to the plant's naturally diverse cannabinoid profile, helping preserve a more complete hemp extract.

Our products contain a naturally occurring trace amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The amount of THC in our products never exceeds 0.3% concentration by dry weight, per state and federal regulations and definitions of industrial hemp. We do not sell or distribute any products that are in violation of the United States Controlled Substances Act (US CSA).

We offer a range of organic, hemp-derived products, including high-quality tinctures (e.g. CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBGA), a topical Relief Balm, Pet Oil, and CBD and THC gummies. We also offer a private consultation with our founder, Jill. Custom formulations are also possible.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone's endocannabinoid system is unique, so the ideal amount can vary from person to person depending on your body, your goals, and the support you're looking for. We recommend keeping a simple journal during your first bottle. Write down how much you take, when you take it, and how you feel afterward. Over the course of a few weeks, you'll begin to identify your personal "sweet spot"—the amount that works best for you.

If you'd like personalized guidance, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Jill. She can help you develop a dosing plan tailored to your individual needs and wellness goals.

These products are not intended for use by persons under the age of 21, and you must be 21 or older to access our site. They should not be consumed by individuals who are pregnant or nursing, or by anyone with a serious medical condition, without prior physician guidance.

CBD products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in hemp that interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, a network involved in helping regulate mood, sleep, pain perception, inflammation, and overall balance.

Research suggests CBD may help support:

• A healthy response to everyday stress and anxiety
• A balanced inflammatory response
• Recovery after exercise
• Occasional aches and discomfort
• Restful sleep
• overall wellness and relaxation

While research continues to grow, everyone's body responds differently. Many people find that the best results come from consistent use and finding the serving size that works best for their individual needs.
