Most people take GG daily for 4–8 weeks before noticing changes in energy or recovery, since it's replenishing a compound your body uses gradually, not delivering an immediate effect. Consistency matters more than timing.
-
Weeks 1-4
Build Your GG Routine
GG has been studied at 150 mg daily for the first 4 weeks, with outcomes evaluated after continued supplementation.
-
Weeks 5-8
Support Hormone Health
Continued GG use has been studied for hormone-related outcomes over 8 weeks, with benefits observed in men with lower baseline testosterone.
-
Week 9
Support Healthy Testosterone Levels
In a 9-week randomized trial, men with lower baseline testosterone showed increases in total, free and bioavailable testosterone after GG supplementation.

Explore Broader GG Support
Research is still exploring GG's potential roles in muscle, bone and cellular health, with much of the evidence currently coming from preclinical studies.
Individual results vary. Consistent daily use is the most important factor. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance specific to your goals.

The substance of life
What is Geranylgeraniol (GG)?
Why this matters
GG & Statins: Why This Matters If You Take a Statin
Statins like atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin block the mevalonate pathway to lower cholesterol. Your body uses the same pathway to make GG, which is upstream of CoQ10. Researchers believe this drop in GG and CoQ10 may be one contributing factor behind statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), the muscle aches, fatigue, and weakness some people report while on statins. Taking CoQ10 alone doesn't address this at the source. GG sits upstream of CoQ10 in the same biochemical pathway. Your body uses GG to help produce CoQ10 in the first place. Replenishing GG supports this process at its origin, rather than only supplying CoQ10 directly.
Clinically Studied. Patented. Pure.
How Wellness Extract GG Essential® is Different
GG Essential® uses GG-Gold®, the same patented trans-geranylgeraniol used in published clinical research, developed by Dr. Barrie Tan and manufactured by American River Nutrition. It's extracted from Amazonian annatto seeds through a solvent-free, chemical-free process, no synthetic GG, no shortcuts. Formulated in easy-to-swallow softgels for maximum absorption. Every batch is third-party tested and produced in a Health Canada-registered GMP facility. This isn't just a CoQ10 booster. GG Essential® is the upstream compound your body needs to recharge energy, balance hormones, and rebuild muscle and bone health from within.
| Attribute | Geranylgeraniol (GG) | CoQ10 Alone |
|---|---|---|
| Position in the pathway | Upstream: what your body uses to make CoQ10 | Downstream: the end product your cells use directly |
| What it's involved in | CoQ10 production, plus bone and muscle support and hormone production | Cellular energy only |
| Effect of statins | Also depleted by statins, at the source | Only the downstream compound is addressed |
| What supplementing gives you | Helps your body produce CoQ10 on its own, plus everything else GG is involved in | More CoQ10 directly |
Not all GG is the same
Is GG-Gold® the Same as Generic Geranylgeraniol?
Both contain the same active compound, but GG-Gold® is a patented, clinically studied form extracted through a solvent-free process. Not all generic GG on the market is produced or tested the same way.
| Attribute | GG-Gold® | Generic Geranylgeraniol |
|---|---|---|
| Active compound | Trans-geranylgeraniol | Trans-geranylgeraniol |
| Extraction method | Solvent-free, chemical-free, patented process | Not standardized |
| Clinical research base | Clinically studied form | Not consistently studied |
| Testing | Third-party tested every batch | Varies by manufacturer |
The evidence
Scientific References
Published research supporting GG's role in bone health, muscle recovery, and hormone support.
01
Bone Stiffness Restoration
GG supplementation restored bone stiffness in a preclinical study of diet-related bone loss.
Diet-related bone loss was modeled in the study.GG supplementation was assessed against controls.Bone stiffness was restored with GG supplementation.
02
Bisphosphonate & Bone Cell Health
GG may counteract the effects of bisphosphonate medications on the mevalonate pathway, supporting bone cell health.
Bisphosphonates act on the mevalonate pathway.GG was studied for its effect on this same pathway.Findings suggest GG may counteract bisphosphonate-related effects on bone cells.
03
Statin-Related Muscle Breakdown
GG has been shown to reduce statin-related muscle breakdown by up to 65% in preclinical research.
Statin use was linked to increased muscle breakdown markers.GG supplementation was tested alongside statin exposure.Muscle breakdown (atrogin-1) was reduced by up to 65% with GG.
04
Free Testosterone Increase
In a clinical trial, men with low baseline testosterone saw a 15% increase in free testosterone with GG supplementation.
Men with low baseline testosterone were enrolled.GG supplementation was compared to placebo.Free testosterone increased by 15% after 8 weeks of GG.
Frequently asked questions
At Wellness Extract, we source premium, patented GG-Gold®, which is extracted from the Amazonian wonder plant Annatto using a solvent- and chemical-free technology extraction process innovated by Dr. Barrie Tan.
Annatto GG Gold® is a premium-patented geranylgeraniol extracted through an award-winning chemical-free technology, developed by Dr. Barrie Tan and American River Nutrition, the same team behind DeltaGold®.
General wellness: 1 softgel (150mg) daily with a meal. Statin users: 2 softgels (300mg), spaced about 4 hours apart. Active adults: 1–2 softgels daily. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're on medication.
Your body's natural GG production declines gradually with age, which can mean reduced energy, muscle fatigue, and slower recovery. Supplementing with GG can help offset that decline.
GG is a building block your body uses for muscle protein synthesis, CoQ10 production, and cellular energy. As natural GG production drops with age, replenishing it supports these functions from the inside.
In an exploratory analysis of a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, men with lower baseline testosterone levels experienced a 15% increase in free testosterone after 8 weeks of GG supplementation. Earlier preclinical research also suggests that GG may support testosterone production at the cellular level, though more human research is needed.
Annatto seeds are the richest known source of geranylgeraniol. Rice also contains it, along with smaller amounts in olive, linseed, and sunflower oils.
Geranylgeraniol exists in two isomeric forms: trans and cis, out of which trans is biologically active. It is a 20-carbon, cell-permeable alcohol that is almost similar to natural GG produced in the body. Trans-geranylgeraniol acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of Vitamin K2 and CoQ10.
Geranylgeraniol is found in food, rice, annatto seeds, and a few plant oils, but only in small amounts. Getting a meaningful, research-level dose through diet alone isn't realistic, which is why supplementation is the more reliable way to reach the amounts studied in clinical research, especially if you're on a statin.
CoQ10 is what your cells use directly for energy. GG is what your body uses to make CoQ10, along with several other things, like bone and muscle support and hormone production. Taking CoQ10 gives you more CoQ10. Taking GG helps your body produce CoQ10 on its own, plus everything else GG is involved in.
Yes. Statins can lower your body's natural GG and CoQ10 levels, which is a major reason for statin-related muscle aches and fatigue. GG Essential® is formulated to help replenish what statins deplete. Many people on statins take 2 softgels daily, spaced about 4 hours apart. Always check with your doctor before adding any supplement to a statin regimen.
Most people take GG daily for 4-8 weeks before noticing changes in energy or recovery, since it's replenishing a compound your body uses gradually, not delivering an immediate effect. Consistency matters more than timing.
Both contain the same active compound, but GG-Gold® is a patented, clinically studied form extracted through a solvent-free process. Not all generic GG on the market is produced or tested the same way.
GG has been studied for its role in bone health, muscle recovery, and hormone support, with research also supporting its safety for regular use.
