In the past few years, CBD has only continued to grow in popularityーsimply
take a gander at all of the available products: oils, gummies, topical
creams,
vapes, and even bath bombs are just a few of the readily available
products containing CBD.
But what if we told you that CBD could be as simple as swallowing a pill
and going about the rest of your day?
But for anyone new to CBD, CBD capsules can still be daunting, and take a
bit of a learning curve.
So what are
CBD capsules
, and what is it that sets them apart from other products like gummies?
CBD capsules are just what you think: CBD in capsule form. Typically, the
CBD is either an isolate powder, or a form of CBD suspended in a carrier
oil, which
is kept in a gelatin or pectin casing.
When CBD capsules enter the stomach, the casing gradually breaks down and
the CBD is released into the bloodstream. And while this timed release
means
it’ll take a little longer to kick in, it means that CBD’s effects
will stay in your body for a longer period of time.
So while you might need to keep taking gummies or other edibles throughout
the day, making them especially useful for those with a jam-packed workday,
or
those who wish to keep their CBD discreet.
CBD capsules are also easy to add to a daily vitamin regimen, and some even
include a
multivitamin formula
. There are also CBD capsules to help support
energy
,
sore muscles
and
sleep
.
According to both growing research and anecdotal evidence, CBD can have a
wealth of benefits that seems almost endless.
Perhaps more than anything, CBD is used by those dealing with physical
discomfort, but CBD capsules are also purchased for easing stress and
getting a
good night’s sleep, and even to help kick a smoking habit.
However, these possible benefits have not been fully confirmed, and there’s
still a lot to learn about CBD products.
That being said, there is a theory that may explain how CBD works: it has
to do with a series of receptors in our bodies known as the endocannabinoid
system.
At its core, CBD capsules are pretty simple to take: simply take one,
swallow it, and wash it down with a glass of water.
But as with any CBD product, some nuances can come into play. That’s why
we’re answering some of the most common questions about how to take CBD
capsules.
Figuring out your CBD dosage can be tricky with any CBD product, since
factors like body chemistry, weight, and what you’re trying to manage with
CBD
capsules. Consulting a doctor is always the recommended route to take
since they can help determine the dosage while discussing the potential
risks.
But if this isn’t possible, start with as low a dosage as possible. So when
you find a seller you wish to purchase from, choosing their lowest
concentration is
usually a good strategy. During the first week, pay
attention to the way your CBD capsules make you feel. If you feel you need
more, try increasing the
dosage by 5 mg per week.
It’s always best to take CBD capsules with a meal, as this will help with
absorption in the stomach. However, it’s recommended that you don’t just
eat sugars
and starches, but instead incorporate healthy fats and complex
carbohydrates.
But for plenty of us, shopping online is still the best source of variety
and quality.
Luckily, there are things to look out for when shopping online for CBD.
First, check to see if the potency is clearly stated. Figuring out your
dosage is already tricky enough, so don’t make it harder on yourself by
choosing a product
with vague labeling. Specifically, check that the
product has the amount in milligrams (mg) per jar.
Also make sure that you’re shopping from a brand that delivers on quality
& transparency. These brands will have clear, informative websites, and
they
should have readily available certificates of analysis.
When trying CBD capsules for the first time, make sure you’re using a
product with a good reputation, start with a low dosage, and closely
observe the way it
affects you in those first weeks.
