What is a CBD gummy?
CBD gummies are edible treats infused with cannabidiol, a unlimited compound psychoactive extracted from hemp. Depending on the spectrum of hemp used in their manufacture, these little treats may also contain CBG, CBN and other non-psychotropic cannabinoids, extracted from a Cannabis Indica (relaxing) or Cannabis L. Sativa (energizing) strain.
Rich in flavors and available in several forms and concentrations of CBD, these candies are above all prized for their relaxing effects and their practical side. To meet the demand for healthy and more ethical eating, some brands offer vegan, organic and/or gluten-free options.
CBD candy against stress: why choose this format?
CBD interacts with our body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). It is a complex structure of receptors and neurotransmitters that regulate many physiological functions such as appetite, pain sensation, immunity, sleep and mood.
It is the action of CBD on these receptors which explains its soothing and relaxing properties. Consumers who opt for the “candy” format are actually looking for several advantages that are not necessarily found in more traditional packaging:
- Precise dosage and ease of use: each candy contains a precise dose of CBD. For example, in these mint chewing gums from Cannaline, you have 10 mg of CBD per piece;
- Discretion : CBD candies resemble traditional candies in every way, which will suit those who do not necessarily wish to communicate about their consumption of hemp products, even if the CBD is 100%. legal;
- Convenience: CBD gummies are easy to take with you. The box will slip into your bag or jacket pocket without any problem.
CBD candies: tips for use
If the dose is sufficient, the first effects of CBD candies appear after about fifteen minutes thanks to sublingual absorption (candy under the tongue). The second wave of effects is more progressive and spreads over the three hours following consumption thanks to ingestion and the digestive passage.
Here are three tips for getting the most out of your CBD gummies:
- If you're new to CBD, opt for low-CBD gummies (5 mg or 10 mg maximum per gummy) to observe how your body responds to cannabidiol;
- The amount of CBD needed to alleviate stress generally varies between 30 and 100 milligrams depending on the intensity and whether it is chronic or not. CBD gummies are pre-dosed (10 mg, 25 mg, 30 mg, etc.), which reduces the risk of overdose;
- If your stress is chronic, we recommend that you take your CBD gummies at the start of the day, just after breakfast, to put yourself in the best mood to face your work day.
