What exactly is a CBD capsule?
The CBD capsule is a dietary supplement that contains cannabidiol (CBD) in the form of oil or isolate in a capsule, usually gelatin in a vegan container.
Designed for oral ingestion, these capsules are easy to consume and provide a convenient way to consume CBD with a pre-established dosage per capsule.
The growing popularity of this format can be explained by the ease of use and precision in dosing. It is also a discreet CBD format, which fits in your bag or jacket pocket for consumption at any time of the day.
CBD capsule: what dosage to follow?
The recommended dose of CBD capsules per day depends on several factors, including the consumer's weight, health status and cannabinoid tolerance. General recommendations suggest starting with a dose of 20 to 40 mg per day.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine recommends a starting dose of 25 mg of CBD twice daily for new users. It will then be adjusted according to the individual response.
Concretely, how many CBD capsules should you consume per day?
In France, the CBD capsules available on the market generally have a dosage that varies between 10 and 50 mg per capsule. For a recommended initial daily dose of 20 to 40 mg of CBD, the consumer can start with one to two 20 mg capsules per day, or two to four 10 mg capsules per day.
For capsules dosed at 50 mg, you should start with one capsule per day. This dosage can be adjusted gradually depending on the body's response.
What are the advantages of CBD capsules compared to other formats?
Each user profile has its favorite CBD format! The capsules provide several benefits that are not necessarily found in cannabidiol oils or flowers:
- Precise dosage: each capsule contains a fixed quantity of CBD, which allows exact control of the dose consumed;
- Ease of use: the capsules are easy to swallow and can be easily integrated into a daily routine;
- No taste: unlike CBD oils, the capsules have no taste, which can be advantageous for those who do not like the organic side of hemp;
- Discretion: the capsules look like regular vitamin supplements, allowing discreet consumption in public;
- Prolonged effect: like all formats consumed orally, capsules allow prolonged release of CBD in the body. Of course, the effects are not immediate (like with sublingual CBD oil), but they last longer.
