CBD Pills and Capsules [Buyers Guide]
CBD has become one of the most common natural remedies for
many diseases. Cannabidiol is one of the elements present in the hemp plant. Hemp is
known for its high amounts of CBD and low amounts of THC
(tetrahydrocannabinol).
Unlike THC, CBD does not have any psychoactive effects,
meaning that it does not give you a high feeling. It is known to create a calm
and relaxed feeling. It comes in different forms, including CBD oil, lotions, creams, pills,
and capsules.
CBD pills are cannabidiol taken in a pill or gel capsule form.
CBD capsules are available in two different forms soft gel capsules and CBD
isolates. Softgel capsules are filled with CBD oil, while CBD isolate comes
in a powder-like substance packed in soft gel capsules.
CBD pills, on the other hand, are hard compounded pills
containing cannabidiol. CBD pills and capsules are the perfect choices if you
want to take CBD without any taste.
How Are CBD Pills Different From Other CBD Products
Method of ingestion
The main difference between CBD pills and other CBD products
is the method of ingestion. CBD pills and CBD capsules are swallowed and have
to go through the digestive tract before being absorbed into the blood. That
means it takes longer for you to feel the effect.
On the other hand, CBD oil
is sublingual, meaning you place it under the tongue and wait for a few minutes
before swallowing. Since you do not have to swallow it, it is absorbed into the
bloodstream faster via the capillaries in the mouth.
Dosage
With CBD oil, CBD water, or CBD tinctures, the dosage must be measured each time. Most tinctures make this
easy with convenient droppers included. However, CBD pills and capsules make it
even easier by giving a set dosage in every pill.
Convenience
CBD pills and capsules are easy to take, and you can take
them anywhere, unlike CBD oil. It is easy for you to integrate them into your
daily routine. They can be taken anywhere very discreetly.
Taste
You can be sure that the taste of CBD oil will not be
a problem when taking CBD pills and capsules because they are tasteless. While
CBD oil, especially when mixed with the correct carrier oil, is very mild and many people enjoy
the flavor, there are always going to be some who do not like it.
Types Of CBD Pills And Capsules
CBD Isolate Pills
These contain pure CBD and no THC. The manufacturers remove
all other cannabinoids present in the hemp plant. These isolate capsules and
pills are good for people who take drug tests regularly and don’t want to test positive.
CBD Full Spectrum Pills
These capsules and pills contain not only CBD but also other
beneficial cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. The extraction and
manufacturing process of the full-spectrum capsules and pills is simpler than
that of the CBD isolate capsules and pills.
Full-spectrum capsules and pills contain at most 0.3% THC,
which is legal and does not have any psychoactive effects. Before purchasing
full-spectrum CBD capsules and pills, ensure you confirm the THC level.
CBD Broad Spectrum Pills
These contain CBD plus other cannabinoids compounds apart
from THC. That ensures that you get all the health benefits of full-spectrum CBD capsules and pills without worrying about the
psychoactive effects of THC.
How To Use CBD Pills And Capsules
Using CBD pills and capsules is very straight forward because
they are consumed like normal pills. Simply put them into your mouth and
swallow them with water. If you just started using them, it is best to start
with low dosages and progressively increase until you find the right dosage.
Also, ensure that you close the lids tightly and store them
in a cool, dry, and dark place.
Benefit Of CBD Pills
Longer Lasting Effects
Since CBD capsules and pills have to go through the
digestive process, they are slowly absorbed into the bloodstream, which means
that the effects will last longer than other forms of CBD directly absorbed
into the bloodstream.
No Psychoactive High
Since CBD pills and capsules contain little or no amounts of
THC, they do not create any psychoactive high when taken.
Discrete and Easy Consumption
Unlike CBD oil, which you might feel uncomfortable consuming
in front of many people, you can use CBD pills and capsules just like any other
medical pills and can easily be integrated into your daily routines. It is also easy to
store and carry around.
Health Benefits
Just like other CBD products, CBD capsules and CBD pills offer you a wide range of health
benefits, including;

effects, CBD helps you sleep better and for longer.
• Reducing stress, anxiety, and depression- By interacting
positively with the serotonin receptors, CBD offers anti-depressants effects. Serotonin regulates
happiness and mood.

How To Buy The Best CBD Pills And Capsules
With CBD popularity increasing, there has been a lot of
manufacturers and distributors, which has resulted in many sub-standard
products. To get highquality CBD pills and capsules, here are a few things to
consider;
• THC concentration- The legal amount of THC allowed in CBD products is 0.3%, which ensures that the products have
no psychoactive effects on you.
• Independent test results- Since the FDA does not have
regulation guidelines for CBD products, ensure you buy from a vendor who has
had certificate of analysis from a third party laboratory to ascertain the
purity, safety, and potency of the product.
• Ingredients- Look at the ingredients to ensure that there
are no ingredients that will cause allergic reactions.
• Source of the hemp plat- Where and how the hemp plant was
grown determines the credibility and quality of the CBD. Look for CBD pills and
capsules extracted from hemp plants grown organically in the United States.
• Method of extraction- There are different ways that the CBD
is extracted from the hemp plant, and some of the methods involve using
chemicals like butane, which may affect the quality and the composition of the
product.
