If you want to start using CBD, you can choose from a wide range of CBD products these days. Cannabidiol is a supplement that can help support your health. But when there are so many to choose from, you’re probably wondering about the differences and the pros and cons. In this blog, we will discuss the wide variety of products so you can make a better choice.
CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of the many compounds known as cannabinoids, which occur naturally in the cannabis plant. Unlike the more familiar cannabinoid THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it does not cause the “high” or strong mind-altering effects typically associated with marijuana, which is rich in THC.
The use of CBD as an alternative treatment or supplement is gaining popularity due to its potentially therapeutic properties and non-psychoactive nature, making it an attractive option for those seeking relief without the “high” of traditional cannabis products.
When you start looking for a CBD product, you soon come across CBD oil. But there are many more options, including CBD capsules, topicals and even edibles with CBD. Each of these products is suitable to use for your health. But what are the pros and cons, and why go for one and not another? To help you make a good choice, below is an overview of CBD products and their pros and cons.
CBD oil is clearly the best known of the CBD products. With this oil you can dose flexibly and the small bottle is easy to carry with you to take your dose wherever and whenever you want. CBD oil comes in different strengths, in 5%, 10% or even 20%, for example. The higher the percentage of CBD, the more effect the oil will have.
The benefits of CBD oil are obvious: it is easy to take by dripping the oil under your tongue. Then the active ingredients are quickly absorbed into the blood. One drawback, however, is that this oil has a rather strong and spicy taste, which not everyone likes.
When looking for CBD products, you can also go for CBD pearlcaps. The action is exactly the same as the oil, but the advantage is that capsules have no taste at all. If you have trouble with the overpowering taste of the oil, then capsules may be a better option. Capsules are also available in different strengths. In our webshop you will find Hempcare’s capsules, which contain 5 mg of CBD per capsule.
Besides not bothering you with a strong taste, taking CBD capsules means ease of use. You take them with some water and you always know exactly how much CBD you are taking in. One drawback may be that some of your dose is lost, as CBD must pass through the stomach first. It also takes longer before you notice any of the effects. But on the other hand, the effects do last longer.
Those who do not like pills or oil have another option, and a very tasty one at that: CBD edibles. It is not hard to see the benefits of edibles. You can take your daily dose in a tasty snack, such as gummies, cotton candy, popcorn or chocolate. Not only do you enjoy your favorite snack, you can also alternate between different edibles and always take your dose of CBD in different ways.
However, it is important to keep an eye on the dosage with these edibles. Each type of edible contains different amounts of CBD. Also, the idea is not to snack endlessly on these edibles, even though the temptation may be strong.
Another way you can take CBD is CBD paste. This paste is also made from the hemp plant, but contains a much higher percentage of CBD than the oil, up to 60%. This makes it very suitable for people who need higher doses. Pasta is also easy to use. You put a little paste in your mouth and hold it under the tongue. This allows the active ingredients to be absorbed into the blood quickly. Therefore, it has a quick effect.
What you should keep in mind is that CBD paste also has a taste. Users find this relatively mild, but it has a spicy hemp flavor.
CBD is also incorporated into skin products. Receptors of the ECS (endocannabinoid system) are also located in the skin, allowing CBD to exert its influence. For example, you can use cream with CBD, as well as lip balm, tiger balm or hand gel with CBD. For dry skin or dry lips, itching, irritation or muscle pain, these products can help nourish, soothe and repair the skin and can help with muscle and joint pain.
Looking for another easy way to take CBD? CBD crystals are then a good option. You can easily take this fine powder under your tongue and then let it melt. Again, the buccal mucosa ensures rapid absorption, so you will also notice effects quickly. But crystals can be incorporated into food as well, so you can make your own edibles. Put some powder in your smoothie, your oatmeal or your dinner, so you can take your dose of CBD through your food.
Thus, the versatility of CBD crystals is great. But there are another advantage: the powder is tasteless, so you won’t suffer from a strong taste. And on top of that, CBD crystals have a very high purity of up to 99%. It is almost pure CBD and contains no other substances. Therefore, this is a CBD isolate, it does not contain any other active ingredients. You can also see this as a disadvantage because a full spectrum product, such as CBD oil, also contains other substances, such as terpenes and flavonoids.
