Smart Shoppers’ CBD Gummies Shopping Guide

Here are a few things you should always keep an eye out for when shopping for CBD products.

First, only purchase CBD gummies and other CBD products made with organic hemp oil. Cannabis hemp is a bioaccumulator, meaning that it absorbs everything it can from the soil surrounding the hemp plant. If the soil contains contaminants, such as pesticides or heavy metals, those toxins will end up in the plant’s CBD oil—and in the products made from that oil. So, only purchase organic CBD gummies.

Secondly, make sure the CBD company you choose extracts the CBD from the hemp plant with clean CO2. Cheaper CBD brands will sometimes use solvents, like butane, to extract the CBD oil, but these can leave behind a potentially toxic residue. CO2 leaves no such contaminants in the CBD oil, and delivers a pure oil extract every time.

Lastly, make sure any CBD gummies you purchase come with a Certificate of Analysis. This is a report created by a third-party laboratory, telling you how much CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids are in your gummies. It also lets you know if your CBD gummies contain any of the contaminants mentioned above. For your safety and satisfaction, make sure to only purchase CBD products that come with a Certificate of Analysis.

CBD Gummies 101: What Is CBD?

READ MORE ON Misc

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of a group of cannabis compounds, called cannabinoids. There are over 100 cannabinoids in cannabis hemp, with CBD and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) being the most plentiful. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating. Instead, CBD delivers a wealth of health and wellness benefits.

Full-Spectrum CBD vs Broad-Spectrum CBD vs CBD Isolate

The CBD gummies in this article come from a low-THC form of cannabis, called hemp. Hemp can contain up to 0.3% THC. The oil that is initially extracted from hemp is called full-spectrum CBD. This form of CBD contains all of the plant’s cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and healthy fatty acids.

With the legal limit being less than 0.2% THC, most products you’re likely to find in the UK contain broad spectrum oil, which has all detectable amounts of THC filtered out. Even so, broad spectrum is a robust form of CBD, containing nearly all of hemp’s healthful compounds.

CBD isolate is CBD only, with all other plant content filtered out. Some prefer isolate because it has none of the scent or flavour of hemp, though its effects are weaker.

CBD Gummies 101: The Benefits of CBD

All animals have a cell-signalling Endocannabinoid System, which helps the various organs and systems of the body to maintain homeostasis (balance). CBD interacts with receptors in the ECS, similar to the body’s own endocannabinoids, bolstering the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis. This helps the body to better regulate a number of functions, including sleep, pain, motor control, mood, memory, and more. CBD also has a calming effect, which can be useful for stress relief and sleep support.

Final Thoughts on CBD-Infused Gummies

We hope this article has given you a better understanding of the benefits of CBD, as well as useful information on how to shop for the best CBD gummies and other CBD products. We wish you all the best on your CBD journey!
