CBD products are becoming increasingly widespread, and it seems that the number of online sites that sell various CBD products is growing in recent years. In addition, there are now several shops in the UK that have physical premises where CBD products can be bought by the consumer. Many people will have heard of the term “CBD” but will be unsure what it means. It stands for the compound cannabidiol which is derived from the cannabis plant. However, CBD products should not contain THC which is the chemical in the cannabis plant that gives users the “high” that they may experience when consuming cannabis. In this article, three specific types of CBD product that are available in 2023 will be described in detail.
Points to note
As an introductory point, it is important to note that the scientific research into CBD products is still in a relatively early phase. Any health claims or benefits that are made about CBD products cannot be substantiated at this point in time and any such claims should be treated with caution. You can read some background information on some of the studies that are in progress here. In addition, it is wise to consult your doctor before starting to take any CBD product.
Ingested CBD products
There is an increasing availability and popularity of ingesting CBD products. Often these come in the form of CBD “gummies” which look like sweets and are chewed before being swallowed. Online sites such as supremecbd.uk stock a wide range of this type of product and many consumers enjoy taking the product in this form as it is easy to consume without needing to be smoked or applied to the skin. As with any CBD product, it is important to know the dosage of each type of product. This is especially important for CBD products such as gummies that are ingested. In short, you must know what the dosage of each gummy is before ingesting it to ensure that you stick to the dose that you desire.
Topical CBD products
Another way to consume CBD products it to apply them topically. Many people use this method when applying essential oils to the skin and the same basic process applies when using topical CBD products. In short, the CBD product is rubbed into the skin where it permeates into the body through the pores of the skin. Some people prefer this method of delivery to ingesting CBD products. As with all CBD products it is important to know the strength of the CBD lotion or cream and apply an amount that is suitable to your requirements. Look for topical products that clearly state the CBD dosage and provide instructions on how to apply.
Inhaled CBD products
In recent years many people have tried vaping as a substitute for smoking conventional tobacco products. Vaping oils do not contain harmful by-products that are found in cigarette smoke, but it should be recognised that the research into the effects of long-term vaping on the body is still in early stages and the full effects are not yet known. CBD products that can be vaped often come in a liquid form and are put into an e-cigarette device which then heats the liquid and produces the smoke that is inhaled.
