CBD Edibles

What Are CBD Edibles?

With the many different delivery systems available for cannabidiol in the UK, nothing is more varied (or tasty) than the wide array of CBD edible products. From sweet, chewy CBD gummies to deceptively versatile CBD oil drops, we’ve got an imaginative variety of options. Right now, CBD edibles outsell every other CBD product on the market for several reasons, and the fact that products like gummies taste incredible is only one of them.

When it comes to ingesting a pre-measured serving of CBD, there is nothing simpler than popping a CBD edible into your mouth and going about your day. There is no need to calculate serving sizes or carry equipment when you use them; it’s as simple as eating a tasty CBD gummy or consuming a CBD capsule. 

And while CBD edibles may enter your bloodstream a bit slower than some other methods of CBD oil consumption, they make up for it with much longer-lasting effects than CBD vaping and sublingual CBD.

Benefits of CBD Edibles

There are a lot of reasons why edibles are such a popular form of CBD products in the UK.

Flexibility

CBD can be taken in a variety of ways. However, the most popular method is ingestion via CBD edibles. When CBD is ingested, you feel its effects on the mind and body more gradually. This is because the CBD must pass through the digestive system before it reaches the bloodstream. The good news is that when you ingest CBD gummies or other CBD edibles, you can feel the effects for several hours.

CBD edibles offer the widest variety of products by far, ranging from CBD gummies to CBD capsules and more. There’s probably an edible CBD product for any craving you can imagine and, depending on the type of extract and additional ingredients in the product, you might not even taste its hemp contents! 

CBD edibles also possess increased flexibility, since you can combine them with other foods. For example, our CBD tinctures can be combined with a drink or over ice cream to provide an additional boost of natural sweetness, or dripped onto your food in order to enjoy a hidden serving of CBD.

Pre-Measured CBD Servings

A common problem with other forms of CBD intake is measuring the dosage. Thankfully, CBD edibles, like CBD gummies and CBD capsules, easily solve this dosage problem by coming in small, pre-measured bites. As a result, there’s no need for preparation or guessing. This gives you the ability to adjust your CBD serving size up or down while experiencing a greater sense of control. Additionally, products like CBD gummies are so discreet that people won’t even know that you’re taking CBD.

Easy Clean-up

CBD gummies and other CBD edibles are easy to enjoy, and provide a virtually spotless experience. While other forms of CBD are great, they sometimes require more effort to use (for example, adding CBD e-juice to vape kits). With products like CBD gummies, you can just pop them and go!

Superior Flavour

The taste of hemp isn’t for everyone. It’s nutty, earthy, and can often turn people off to cannabis products in general. Thankfully, CBD edibles can make the experience of consuming CBD a delicious one. CBD edibles can taste just like a sweet dessert or snack, perfect for people who want to experience the calming wellness effects of CBD without the strong hemp overtones.

Long-lasting CBD Effects

Unlike sublingual tinctures and vapes, which are processed through the mouth and lungs, respectively, CBD edibles allow the CBD to make its way through your digestive system. As the CBD edibles are digested, the CBD is then released into your body over the next several hours. Although going through the digestive system may take a little longer for you to feel the relaxing effects of the CBD edibles, these effects can potentially last as long as six to eight hours, depending on bioavailability factors.

It’s Nearly Impossible to Take Too Much CBD

How much CBD can you take in a day without adverse effects? The FSA recommends limiting your daily intake of CBD to 70mg or less. Studies have shown that it can be safe to take up to 1500mg of CBD in a day … though you’ll probably fall asleep long before you reach that ceiling. We suggest following the FSA’s recommendation.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, and the form of CBD we use in our edibles contains less than 0.01% THC. You won’t have to worry about some of those intoxicating, overstimulating effects that occur with an excess of THC.

Different Types of CBD Edibles

CBD Capsules

While CBD tablets and capsules may not give you the flavoured delights of some other CBD edibles, they are a great grab-and-go option for those of us who want our regular CBD serving, but are always on the move. Our CBD Soft Gel Capsules give you a pure, all-natural CBD experience with only three ingredients: hemp-derived CBD oil, coconut-derived MCT oil for quicker absorption, and gelatin (commonly used to make capsules). Our CBD + CBG Morning Capsules are formulated to give you the wellness benefits of CBD, plus extended energy and focus throughout your day.

CBD Gummies

Our vegan CBD gummies come in a variety of formulations to serve a wide range of our UK customer needs. If you’re looking for a pure CBD experience, with no other ingredients to cloud the calming feeling of your CBD, try our original Mixed Berry CBD Gummies. If you’re looking to add healthy nutrients to your daily regimen, try our superfood-boosted CBD Gummies with Turmeric and Spirulina or our CBD Multivitamin Gummies, available in Multivitamin Gummies for Men and Multivitamin Gummies for Women. Both are great additions to any morning health regimen. If you’d like to add a little diet support to your CBD, check out our CBD Gummies with Apple Cider Vinegar. Lastly, our CBD Sleep Gummies with chamomile and passion flower can help you get to sleep more quickly and sleep more soundly through the night.

CBD Tinctures

CBD tinctures are not considered “CBD edibles” when taken sublingually. This is because the CBD is absorbed into the body through the capillaries of the mouth. But you can simply swallow your CBD tincture, in which case it would act like other CBD edibles and be absorbed into the bloodstream after passing through the digestive tract.

Why Choose CBDfx CBD Edibles & Other CBD Products in the UK

How can you choose the best CBD edibles? Look for CBD derived from hemp that has been grown safely, without pesticides, GMOs or other contaminants. And make sure the CBD oil has been extracted from the hemp by means of clean CO2, which doesn’t leave a chemical residue in the oil, as cheaper solvent methods do. You’ll also want to make sure the additional ingredients in your CBD oil product are natural, as well. And to confirm the purity and potency of your CBD edibles, you should insist on a lab report created by an independent, third-party laboratory. CBDfx provides third-party lab reports for all of our products, so that you know the exact amount of CBD and other cannabinoids in your edible, as well as whether the product contains any contaminants. We believe in transparency — and we’re proud of our high-quality CBD oil products!
