The CBD user has a vastly broad identity. People in their 20’s may use it for preventative care, children with serious conditions may use it for epilepsy, and even people age 50+ are starting to get on board. As you analyze the demographics, the market just keeps appearing broader and broader. So, it can be hard to decide what products to buy. We thought we’d break down some of the core items to help you decide which of the top 5 ways to take CBD is right for you.
1. Sublingual Tinctures
Pure CBD Exchange
The tincture is the CBD Industry’s “Old Standard.” This is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get CBD into your body. Tinctures are comprised mainly of raw hemp oil that contains the actual cannabinoids. You’ll want to know how your oil was extracted and be able to verify who extracted it. The lack of regulation in the industry means you should stay close to integrated sources who control their supply. Avoid Ethanol or other solvents. There will typically be a carrier oil like Hempseed Oil or MCT. Look for the organics and don’t forget to ask what (if anything) is used for flavoring. At least one company uses strictly organic carriers and organic sunflower seed oil based flavors, essential oils, and terpenes.
Tinctures are for: Everybody. This is the most straightforward form of intake and is a great go-to for all users. Whether you want to mitigate anxiety, pain, sleep better, or you’ve got serious problems, this is the place to start experimenting.
2. Gel Capsules
Capsules have risen in popularity in the past few months. This is no surprise because of their similarity to traditional medicine.
