CBD Capsules Are Better Than CBD Gummies, And Here Is Why…

Be wary of products that are made using CBD isolate, large quantities of sugar, and artificial chemicals, say the experts at Love CBD

CBD gummies are a popular and convenient way to consume CBD. However, they are often full of unhealthy ingredients, can be manufactured in a way that does not produce a product that offers consistent dosing, and generally contain CBD isolate, a far cheaper ingredient (as much as five times cheaper) than a broad or full spectrum cannabis extract.

On the other hand, CBD capsules, as a result of not needing to be flavour-based, do not need to include ingredients whose only purpose is to improve the flavour. CBD capsule manufacturers can focus on producing CBD products that are solely intended to support good health and wellness.

How CBD gummies are made

The best way to make CBD gummies involves adding CBD to a flavoured gummy mixture, which is then moulded into shapes and left to cool.

Unfortunately, another common and cheaper method for creating CBD gummies is spraying pre-bought sweets with a CBD isolate solution. This often results in products with inconsistent amounts of CBD, as this process can be haphazard at best.

Irregularly dosed CBD products are a problem because, to get the best out of CBD, a consistent dosage routine is essential.

How Love CBD capsules are made

Each vegan-friendly capsule is individually filled with a unique full spectrum cannabis extract and organic coconut oil formulation. This enables Love CBD capsules to deliver a precise dose of CBD and other beneficial cannabis compounds within each capsule.

CBD gummy ingredients

This is where gummies really fall short. The majority of CBD gummies in the UK unfortunately contain large quantities of sugar, glucose syrup, and artificial chemicals and are no better than sweets.

CBD products are intended to improve health and wellness, and it is hard to see that any product containing these ingredients could be considered healthy.

Love CBD capsules ingredients

Unlike CBD gummies, the Love CBD capsules contain only a handful of natural, plant-based ingredients. A high-quality cannabis extract, organic extra virgin coconut oil, terpenes, and gum arabic in a vegetable-based, vegan-friendly capsule shell.

Made with CBD isolate

CBD gummies generally contain CBD isolate. CBD isolate will always be inferior to both broad spectrum and full spectrum extracts, which is not surprising given that CBD isolate is a much cheaper ingredient than full or broad spectrum extracts.

CBD brands generally do not label their products as containing CBD isolate, though if it contains powder, that is what it is.

Made with full spectrum cannabis extract

Love CBD capsules contain a full spectrum cannabis extract with a wide range of cannabis compounds, including cannabinoids like CBD, terpenes, and flavonoids.

Although CBD has many health benefits, the cannabis plant contains many cannabinoids and compounds that have their own health properties. Additionally, these compounds work together to produce the scientifically termed ‘Entourage Effect’.

This term describes how these compounds work together to produce an effect that is greater than the sum of its parts. Only broad or full spectrum CBD products are able to produce this effect because they are far more complex than CBD isolate products. The same principle applies to CBD oils.

In conclusion

As with any type of product, some are better than others. There are also undoubtedly some poor-quality CBD capsule products available to buy in the UK, some of which contain CBD isolate. 

However, it is not hard to look at the ingredients on a pack of gummies and quickly decide that a product potentially full of sugar, sweeteners, and other unhealthy chemical ingredients is unlikely to provide the claimed wellness benefits.

If you are new to CBD or are currently taking CBD gummies, we would recommend trying CBD capsules as a healthier and equally convenient alternative. Additionally, parents need not be concerned that they are going to look appetising to their children.
