CBD Gummies

CBD gummies and melatonin gummies are both popular supplements that can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. However, they work in different ways and may be suitable for different individuals depending on their needs.

CBD gummies contain cannabidiol, a compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD gummies do not contain THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces a "high," so they are not intoxicating.

Melatonin gummies on the other hand, contain melatonin, a hormone produced by the body that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin supplements can help improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Melatonin gummies are generally considered safe for short-term use, but can cause side effects in some individuals, such as daytime drowsiness and headaches.

Ultimately, whether you choose to use CBD gummies or melatonin gummies depends on your individual needs and preferences.

What are CBD gummies?

CBD gummies are sweet edibles such as gummy bears which are infused with cannabidiol (CBD) one of over 133 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) another cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, CBD is non-intoxicating, so it doesn’t make people “high.”

What do CBD gummies do?

Once the CBD gummies pass through your digestive system, the CBD can reach the bloodstream and start working. Here, it can interact with your endocannabinoid system and other receptors. 

People new to CBD are recommended to start with a dose of 10 - 20 mg of CBD per day, if you don’t notice anything, you can gradually increase the dosage until you start to feel the desired effects. You'll find CBD gummies come in various dosages from 5 - 25mg of CBD per gummy, so be sure to check the nutritional information and adjust your dose accordingly. The FSA, suggests a maximum daily intake of 70 mg CBD.

Do CBD gummies show up on drug tests?

Drug tests look for THC, the main intoxicating compound in cannabis. CBD gummies should never show up on drug tests because most of them contain pure CBD with zero THC. However, if you want to be absolutely sure, you should verify this by looking at the third-party lab test reports for your CBD gummies.

CBD oil and gummies differ in their absorption. CBD oil is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through blood vessels under the tongue, while gummies have to pass through the digestive system and liver before the CBD is absorbed.

Why buy CBD gummies from our store?

The British CBD industry is mostly unregulated, so it’s important to be careful when choosing products. We consulted with medical cannabis expert Prof. Michael Barnes to create our quality assessment criteria for selecting the best CBD gummies for our store.

Here’s how we judge the quality of CBD gummies:

📊 Lab reports

Reputable CBD brands have their products tested by a third-party lab to confirm their potency and safety. These tests should be easily accessible by customers.

🔬 Extraction method

The way CBD is extracted from hemp affects the effectiveness and safety of the final product. That’s why we look for brands that use ethanol or CO2 extraction, the two leading CBD extraction methods.

🏭 Manufacturing standards

We look for CBD companies certified by international organizations like ISO and GMP, which confirms adherence to strict quality, safety, and consistency standards.

⭐ Customer satisfaction

What people say about a brand and its products is also important. We take this into account by looking at customer reviews of CBD brands.

🥇 Industry association

We look for companies active within the CBD & hemp industry, working together with associations, researchers, and doctors.

💷 Price

Although cost doesn’t necessarily reflect quality, it’s still an important factor to consider. We look for brands that offer effective CBD products at affordable prices.
