CBD gummies are ideal for first-timers. Many studies have revealed that CBD can improve low mood and improve the quality of your sleep. However, although taking CBD offers many advantages, some people do not like the earthy taste or the idea of swallowing capsules. In this case,  CBD gummies offer a great alternative. 


As well as being a tastier way to take the dosage is set in each sweet, making them an accurate and consistent way to take CBD in contrast to CBD oil for example. Most gummies contain hemp oil and concentrated CBD but are often further blended with fruit flavours, gelling agents, and sweeteners.

How do CBD Gummies Work?

Chewing or sucking CBD gummies lets the CBD absorb through the mouth lining and oral cavity and enter the bloodstream directly, any that is swallowed will be absorbed through the digestive system.

The CBD then acts on specific receptors in the nervous and hormonal systems within the body that are entangled with controlling inflammation, pain and brain function. It is this exchange that is believed to alleviate symptoms of insomnia, nerve function and pain relief. 

For the best effect, CBD should be taken daily. So taking one or two gummies per day, dependent on strength will get you the best results.
The recommended dose of CBD is up to 10mg per day, however, many people prefer that you can build up until you find the perfect dose for you. To help here is a range of the best CBD gummies, to find out what they have to offer.
