Best Types Of CBD

CBD stands for cannabidiol which is a component of the cannabis plant. However, unlike cannabis, the extracted CBD compound doesn’t contain THC meaning it doesn’t cause any type of high. As it’s non-psychoactive, people have started taking it for the health benefits it claims such as reducing anxiety and helping with sleep.  

There are many different types of CBD products available now, ranging from CBD body lotion, CBD oil, and even gummies. No matter your intake preference, there’s a type that could suit you. Here are the best types of CBD. 

CBD Oils

CBD oil comes in different strengths so you can select the right dosage for you. To take the oil, you add a few drops under the tongue using the pipette and allow it to absorb into the body. The oils can also be found in different flavours as the original taste of CBD can be slightly bitter and strong. The oils come in different sizes too, such as 15ml, 30ml, and 60ml. This way if you’re new to taking it, you can buy a smaller size to try it out before committing.  If you take the oil in its most simple form, it can take effect quicker than other types due to it absorbing within a minute under the tongue. 

CBD Body Lotions

Due to its reported medicinal properties, CBD has been added to body lotions in attempts to help with aches and pains. You can also choose from different strengths depending on the severity of your pain. A lower dosage is said to target surface issues, but a higher dosage may penetrate to deeper muscles and could relieve pain. 

CBD Soft gels

Soft gels are ingested similarly to pills and vitamins. The oil is sealed into a capsule which keeps it fresher and less likely to become damaged from overexposure to light. Some people opt for soft gels as they’re easy to swallow and don’t leave a taste in the mouth like oils. As you’re taking one capsule at a time, you can also be sure you’re having the right dosage throughout the day. The oil is released slower as well due to the sealed gel only being broken once it reaches the stomach. This could be beneficial for people who prefer a longer-lasting effect. 

CBD Gummies

CBD gummies may be the easiest type of oil to ingest as it’s infused into it and they’re normally in fruity flavours. You also don’t need anything else to help you ingest them as you’ll most likely want a glass of water when taking soft gels and a dropper for the pure oil. The CBD bound into the gummies is released into the body and may have calming effects which make them more than just a sweet treat. 

There are plenty of CBD products available in many different formats and it’s all about choosing what’s right for you. If you’re already taking medication, it’s always best to consult a doctor first before any extra supplements.
