CBD Capsules & Pills

Why Take CBD Capsules? 

CBD capsules are one of the easiest and most convenient ways to ingest a pre-measured quantity of CBD. Both our regular and softgel capsules are infused with quality hemp extract containing CBD oil, so you simply have to decide on the most suitable dosage, and administer as needed.

We offer a wide range of CBD strengths and capsule types to choose from.

Advantages of Softgels and Other Capsules

When it comes to dietary or herbal supplements—including CBD—bioavailability is a key consideration of both consumers and manufacturers. This refers to the proportion of a substance that’s absorbed by the body and actively circulates the system, rendering a noticeable effect on the consumer. Poor bioavailability generally leads to lower efficacy, whereas better bioavailability and liquid solubility correlates with greater absorption. Softgel capsules, made with gelatin or vegan substitutes and containing liquid ingredients, typically have good bioavailability—thus why they’ve long been a popular delivery form of supplements. (4)

While softgels are more costly to manufacture than regular capsules, they’re very convenient to transport, store and consume. The contents are usually wrapped with a sealed band that protects them from oxidation and external tampering. (2)

Regular capsules are a good option for supplements made from powders and substances other than liquid. For instance, we offer a capsule that contains curcumin in addition to CBD extract.

Unlike some other CBD oil forms, softgels are easy to swallow and generally known to have minimal side effects. Both softgels and regular capsules are free of the strong smell and flavor that puts some people off CBD products. Additionally, studies have indicated that humans are quite tolerant to high doses of CBD, so the risk of overdose is almost nonexistent. A 2011 study conducted at the University of São Paulo found that chronic use of CBD and very high doses—up to 1,5000mg daily—are reportedly well tolerated in humans. However, you don’t need to administer a high dose to get the potentially desirable effects and holistic benefits. (1) (5)

 

Safe Use Of CBD Capsules

Prior to taking any sort of CBD product—whether pills, capsules or softgels—consult your doctor about the possible risks of introducing the supplement to your daily routine. This is vital to ensure there aren’t any known chemical interactions with prescribed medications you’re already taking. Once you start using CBD, it’s a good idea to carefully monitor how your body responds over time, and note any changes that occur as you increase or decrease your dosage. Significant side effects due to CBD are rare, but they can occur. While more conclusive evidence is needed to substantiate test results, researchers continue to study varied dosages of CBD, testing various formulations for different medical conditions. (3)

There are different factors to consider in regards to dosage and possible effects—both intentional and residual. These are things such as body weight, medical conditions, lifestyle and alcohol use. For instance, taking CBD regularly and consuming a lot of alcohol may cause drowsiness and potentially intensify the naturally sedating effects of CBD. In terms of safety, CBD products are considered very low risk, according to the World Health Organization. High-quality CBD oil doesn’t carry the chance of addiction and abuse that marijuana and CBD products containing high levels of THC are associated with. However, the FDA has not approved the use of CBD products for medical treatment, with the exception of one drug, Epidiolex, for certain epileptic seizures. Legally, it’s still considered a food supplement.

 

Which CBD Capsules Should You Use? 

We offer CBD capsules in a number of strengths, with the milligram dosage referring to the quantity of cannabidiol in each pill. The 15mg, 25mg, 50mg, 75mg and 150mg sizes are all CBD softgels, while the 100mg dosage is a vegan-friendly powdered hemp extract capsule. This range allows you to choose the strength that’s most appropriate for your individual CBD needs. CBD softgels are thought to break down in the stomach little more quickly than regular capsules do, so the product may be absorbed into your system at a faster rate. Our powder-filled capsules are natural and vegan, so they’re suitable for all diet types and restrictions; they’re also environmentally friendly and sustainable.

We infuse our liquid softgels and capsules with the highest quality full-spectrum CBD hemp extract available. So, not only do they contain cannabidiol, but also countless other cannabinoids, from CBC to CBG, CBN, terpenes, flavonoids and phytonutrients. When combined, these are believed to work synergistically to enhance the effects on receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system. This phenomenon is known as the entourage effect and many believe it may have the potential to maximize health benefits related to CBD.

We now also offer water-soluble CBD capsules. Since water-soluble CBD is believed to be more easily absorbed by the body, most people need only about 1/3 as much as regular CBD. For instance, if you typically take 15mg of traditional CBD, you may find that just 5mg of water-soluble CBD will achieve the same results. Our water-soluble products are available in three strengths—5mg, 10mg and 20mg—and each also contain 250mg of curcumin. This chemical compound is thought to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants, which may supplement the benefits of CBD.

Specifications on each water-soluble product can be found on their individual product pages.

In order to choose the most appropriate product for your needs, we recommend first identifying how many milligrams of CBD you wish to take.

Once you’ve determined the amount of CBD you need, simply choose your desired strength from the options available above.
