CBD Capsules

What Is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is just one of over 100 different substances known as cannabinoids that are found within the cannabis sativa plant. Cannabidiol is usually derived from the hemp variety of the plant, as the hemp plants contain large amounts of CBD, but very small amounts of THC. This is important as CBD products must contain less than 0.2% THC in order to remain legal, and so extracting cannabidiol from the hemp plant is most effective. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive effects and so consuming it will not cause you to experience a high. The health benefits of CBD are yet to be fully understood given research is still in its early stages, and so no claims can be made about CBD products as of yet.

What Are The Benefits of Using CBD Capsules?

Many people prefer CBD capsules over oil because they offer a simple, fast and easy way to take your daily dose of CBD. There’s no need to measure the number of drops to take, simply just take a certain number of tablets. This makes them an especially popular choice for those first starting to take CBD. Others choose CBD capsules as their preferred way to take CBD as they find the taste of CBD oils unpleasant and capsules offer a tasteless and odourless alternative. As taking tablets is part of many people’s daily routine, it’s convenient and hassle free to take your dose of CBD this way. CBD capsules also make it easy for people to take their dose of CBD whilst on the go, and they can easily be transported should you wish to take them on your travels.

How Do I Take CBD Capsules?

Simply take your CBD capsules like you would normal pills or tablets. We’d recommend taking them with a glass of water and ensuring you have eaten a meal before taking in order to help the absorption process. If you struggle to swallow tablets usually then we’d recommend you buy CBD softgel capsules. As with normal tablets, store your CBD capsules in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and out of the reach of children. All CBD products will have a use by date. You should ensure you stick to this as CBD products stored incorrectly or taken after their use by date may become ineffective due to the deterioration of the natural cannabinoids.

When Should I Take CBD Pills?

You can take CBD pills whenever works best for you and your lifestyle, but ensuring you take them after you have eaten a meal will aid the absorption process of the CBD and provide a greater bioavailability. Taking CBD pill after your breakfast may therefore provide the perfect time to get your dose of CBD.

How Long Will It Take To Feel The Effects of CBD Capsules?

How long it takes to feel the effects of CBD capsules will vary for each individual. Roughly though it will take around 1-2 hours to feel the effects, which is slightly longer than other methods of CBD consumption as the CBD has to pass through the digestive system before it begins to take effect.

Is It Better To Take CBD Oil or Capsules?

Whether it is better to take CBD capsules or CBD oils is down to personal preference. Some people prefer taking capsules as it is quick and convenient, whereas others prefer oils as they feel the benefits quicker. Another reason why many choose to take capsules is due to the taste of CBD oils which they may find unpleasant. Overall, capsules are known for being a much simpler method for users to take CBD and are most favoured by new users.

What Are Broad Spectrum, Full Spectrum & CBD Isolate Capsules?

There are three different types of CBD capsules and so you should be familiar with all three and their benefits before you make your decision on which to buy. Full spectrum CBD capsules contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids and natural terpenes found within the hemp plant, meaning they include up to 0.2% of the THC cannabinoid. The benefit of full spectrum capsules is that they can provide an entourage effect, whereby the THC and CBD work together in unison to provide a greater effect than the CBD would have on its own. Broad spectrum CBD capsules on the other hand contain just a broad spectrum of cannabinoids from the hemp plant, meaning they have the THC completely removed during the extraction process. This makes them a favourite for people who do not want to consume THC. Lastly, CBD isolate capsules contain only the CBD cannabinoid and no other natural cannabinoids. This make isolate products a favourite for people who want a pure product.

Why Should I Choose CBD Tablets?

We understand everyone can lead a hectic life and know convenience is what people look for. Many people already take a range of supplements to ensure they get their much needed vitamins and minerals each day. Similarly, CBD can be fit into their lifestyle with an easy to consume tablet. CBD pills can be swallowed with a small glass of water and allow you to get your daily dose of CBD quickly and easily. You can even choose a soft gel capsule if you struggle to take normal tablets. We find capsules to be the most popular as some people aren’t keen on the taste of CBD oils.

We would also recommend that you start with a low dose as consuming too much CBD could cause some unwanted side effects.

Whilst there have been no serious side effects recorded from CBD use, some minor side effects may occur such as drowsiness and diarrhea. These side effects usually only occur if you consume too much CBD, which shows the importance of starting with a low dosage.

How Do CBD Capsules Work?

To allow CBD to work its benefits on the body it needs to be absorbed into the body. Typically with oils, CBD is absorbed sublingually and enters the bloodstream through the mouth. Other methods such as vaping require the CBD to enter the body through inhaling it. The CBD will in turn be absorbed through the lungs and into the bloodstream. CBD capsules are slightly different in the fact that the CBD will not enter straight into your bloodstream and in fact rely on your stomach acids to break down the capsules to release the CBD throughout your body. This method relies on CBD being absorbed through the lining within your stomach. CBD capsules are known for offering a slower rate of absorption of CBD, which is great for those looking for a product that can provide a gradual and slow acting benefit.
