CBD Capsules

Cannabidiol, often abbreviated to ‘CBD’ is a naturally occurring compound found within the cannabis plant.

It belongs to a family of compounds known as the phytocannabinoids, of which hundreds have been identified to date. You are probably most familiar with the controlled phytocannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol, often abbreviated to ‘THC’.

When taken as a nutritional supplement CBD interacts with your body's endocannabinoid system where it produces a range of effects on the body.

In a recent report the World Health Organization stated “CBD is generally well tolerated with a good safety profile.

'Any reported adverse effects may be as a result of drug-drug interactions between CBD and patients’ existing medications'.

Although such statements from the WHO and results from scientific studies show CBD is indeed safe, further toxicology studies are currently being conducted worldwide to obtain a more concrete understanding of cannabidiol's safety profile. This is completely normal for new products entering the market and you should not be alarmed. In the meantime, the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency has recommended people do not exceed more than 70mg of CBD per day.

Pregnant/breastfeeding women and people under the age of 18 should avoid CBD supplementation.

CBD will not get you high whatsoever.

It is normal to have concerns though, seeing as CBD comes from cannabis. In a recent report the World Health Organization stated, ‘there is no substantive evidence to suggest that CBD is likely to cause THC like psychoactive effects.’ 

A recent report from the world health stated that CBD is not addictive whatsoever.

Although extremely rare, the negative side effects from taking CBD can include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth and drowsiness. If you experience any of these sides effects from taking CBD supplements, please refrain from using them any further.

In terms of effects, CBD oils and CBD capsules are the same. Hoever, in our experience consumers prefer CBD capsules as they are less messy and easier to dose accurately.

Although no harm will come to you from chewing our CBD capsules, we highly recommend you swallow them instead. Chewing them would release the oil into your mouth like when taking a traditional CBD oil, somewhat defeating the purpose of taking your CBD in capsules form.

After swallowing it takes about 15 to 30 minutes for CBD capsules to take effect.

CBD capsules are a 100% legal nutritional supplement and thus widely available in the United Kingdom.
