Edibles are perhaps the most popular category of all CBD products. And it’s no surprise, given the breadth of edible products available, from CBD gummies to CBD capsules and more — each with its own unique formulation, serving a variety of needs. Beyond the taste of delicious gummy, edibles also have the benefit of delivering the longest lasting effects of any CBD products.
So, with all of this in mind, let’s take a closer look at CBD edibles, beginning with their number one ingredient, CBD.
What Is CBD?
CBD is a chemical compound created by the cannabis plant. It belongs to a family of over a hundred such compounds, called cannabinoids, whose number also includes CBN, CBG, CBC, and THC. CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the two major cannabinoids, meaning that it occurs in the highest concentrations in the hemp plant. The other major cannabinoid is THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. We’ll delve into THC in a bit more detail later. Suffice it to say, THC is the cannabinoid that people associate with marijuana, as it’s the one that gets you high. CBD, on the other hand, is non-psychoactive and will not get you high.
The Benefits of CBD
Your body produces its own cannabinoids, which are called endocannabinoids. In fact, all vertebrate creatures have an endocannabinoid system, which is a cell-signaling system that sends signals to receptors in various systems and organs throughout the body, helping them to maintain homeostasis, or balance. In doing so, endocannabinoids help to regulate such crucial bodily functions as mood, memory, appetite, sleep, motor control, stress, immune, pain, and more.
When CBD and other cannabinoids are introduced into the body, they mimic the body’s own endocannabinoids and deliver a healthful boost to this system. As a result, this interaction brings a wealth of wellness benefits, and it’s the primary reason CBD has become such a popular health supplement.**
A Note About Hemp
Before we go too much further, let’s have a quick lesson on cannabis. In the eyes of the law, cannabis comes in two forms: high-THC marijuana and low-THC hemp. All of the CBD and THC products on this site come from hemp, which legally has less than 0.3% THC.
Full Spectrum CBD vs Broad Spectrum CBD vs CBD Isolate
Another item of note, before we take a deeper look at the edibles themselves, is the type of CBD being used. Full spectrum CBD is the CBD oil as it is initially extracted from the buds, leaves, and stalks of the hemp plant. This rich hemp oil contains all of the cannabinoids (including CBD and trace amounts of THC), terpenes, and flavonoids of the hemp plant.
Broad spectrum CBD is the exact same hemp oil as full spectrum, only the THC has been filtered out (along with a few other compounds in the process). Broad spectrum CBD is also a robust CBD oil and delivers nearly all the same wellness benefits as full spectrum oil.
CBD isolate refers to CBD with all other hemp compounds removed, leaving only 99% pure CBD.
What Are CBD Edibles
CBD edibles are exactly what the name says, CBD products that you eat (or drink, technically). That is to say, when you take a CBD edible, the CBD must pass through the digestive tract and the liver before being absorbed into the bloodstream.
CBD edibles come in all shapes and sizes, from CBD gummies to CBD capsules and more.
The Benefits of Edibles
CBD edibles are the CBD product of choice for many people for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, edibles can be incredibly enjoyable to consume. Not everyone is into vaping CBD or drawing up CBD oil in a dropper to hold under their tongue. For many folks, a tasty gummy or convenient CBD capsule is the best way to go.
But CBD-infused edibles and drinks have more to offer than just flavor or convenience. Edibles also have the longest lasting effects of any CBD products. While it can take 30 minutes to two hours for the CBD to work its way into your bloodstream, the effects of that CBD can last from six to eight hours (all of which is dependent on personal bioavailability factors, such as height, body mass, and CBD tolerance).**
CBD Edible Products
As mentioned, CBD edible products come in a variety of forms. Here’s a look at the wide selection of best-selling edibles from CBDfx, a leader in the CBD industry since 2014.
CBD Gummies
We carry a broad selection of CBD gummies for a variety of customer needs. Our Original Mixed Berry CBD Gummies are a classic, CBD-only product, designed to let you experience the calming wellness benefits of CBD without it being clouded by other active ingredients. And at 50 mg of CBD per serving (two gummies), it’s a CBD experience you’re bound to enjoy.
Our CBD Gummies with Turmeric and Spirulina and our CBD Gummies with Apple Cider Vinegar are great morning supplement options, delivering a healthy dose of CBD along with powerful superfoods for additional nutritional support. Our CBD Multivitamin Gummies come in formulations for men and for women, and they deliver a power pack of vitamins and minerals to start your day. And finally, our CBD Sleep Gummies combine calming CBD with restful melatonin, sleep terpenes, and CBN (“the ultimate relaxation cannabinoid”) for a powerful and effective sleep aid.
Each of these CBD gummies come in delicious fruity flavors, which make them a joy to take!
CBD Capsules
CBD capsules are the perfect CBD products for people who want their CBD on the go. Mess-free and consistently dosed, CBD capsules are the choice of many CBD users with active lifestyles. Our CBD capsule collection features three potent products.
Our CBD + CBG Morning Capsules are perfect for energy and focus to begin the day. Our CBD + CBN Night Capsules deliver deep sleep support with a combination of restful cannabinoids, terpenes, and other dreamy natural ingredients. And our full spectrum CBD Softgels offer the powerful cannabinoid experience you can only find in high-potency full spectrum CBD.
What Are Delta-9 THC Edibles?
If you’re looking for a more powerful (but still legal) cannabinoid experience, you should explore our line of Delta-9 THC products. Each of these products is infused with full spectrum CBD, plus additional THC to bring the product much closer to the legal THC limit (less than 0.3%). That means maximum THC relaxation and wellness benefits in every product.
Our THC line features several popular edibles, beginning with three delicious THC gummies. Our Berry Buzz Sativa THC Gummies deliver 5 mg of THC, plus 25 mg of CBD per one-gummy serving. These tasty gummies give a blast of berry flavor, plus the mood enhancing effects of a good sativa. Our Magic Melon Sativa THC Gummies are another edible designed to deliver the uplifting sativa THC experience. These high-potency gummies contain 10 mg of THC, plus 30 mg of full spectrum CBD per one-gummy serving — all in a delicious melon flavor. And our Lemon Dream THC Gummies deliver high-potency sleep support with 5 mg of THC, 25 mg of CBD, and 3 mg of restful melatonin for good measure.
We have other popular THC-infused edibles, as well, besides the popular gummies. Our Microdose THC Capsules allow you to microdose with tranquil and healthful THC, while still maintaining your mental edge throughout the day. Each of these THC capsules contains 2.5 mg of THC and 25 mg of CBD.
While each of these THC edibles falls within the legal THC limits established under the 2018 Farm Bill, you should still remember that THC can cause psychotropic effects. So, do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you’re taking a THC edible.
