What is a CBD gummy?
As its name suggests, CBD candy is a treat enriched with cannabidiol, a substance found naturally in the cannabis plant and which does not cause any euphoric effect.
CBD gummies are part of the new generation of hemp products, which are characterized by their fun and practical side, their reduced dosage as well as their pleasant taste which masks the organic and raw aromas.
These calming and relaxing treats come in several forms:
- CBD gummies: soft and easy to chew, they come in fruity flavors;
- CBD lozenges: generally flavored with mint or red fruits, they dissolve slowly in the mouth;
- CBD hard candies: consume more slowly and release their active ingredients over a longer period of time.
The concentration levels of CBD gummies vary and generally range between 5 mg and 20 mg per gummy. To reduce your stress, you should consume between 10 mg and 20 mg of CBD per day, which corresponds to one gummy of 10 to 20 mg or 2 to 4 candies of 5 mg each.
CBD candies: this is how they work on stress
CBD gummies help manage stress by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
CBD, which is most often the only active ingredient in these treats, binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and nervous system to regulate the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, the hormone that acts on 'mood.
In addition, studies show that CBD can reduce activity in the amygdala, a region of the brain involved in the stress response.
