Ingestible CBD Products: Uses, Variety, and Benefits

Like many supplements, CBD is primarily consumed as an ingestible. This means that it is taken into the body through the mouth and can be taken either sublingually, under the tongue, or by ingestion. There are various ingestible forms of CBD, each of which has a different effect. The ingestible forms of CBD include tinctures, soft gels, gummies,  and oils. Now you can also consume CBD in the form of CBD-infused foods and beverages, both commercially made or homemade. CBD also comes in the form of topicals which are used externally to treat specific problem areas on your body. You can learn about topicals here.

The various forms of ingestible CBD products have different effects and can be used together or separately, along with topicals to create a wellness routine that fits your needs. In this post, we will tell you a bit more about the various forms of ingestible CBD products. We believe that learning how each of these products works will help you decide what product(s) may be best for you and also decide on how to incorporate the various forms of CBD into your daily routine.

One of the easiest ways to consume CBD is as a tincture. Tinctures have been a very popular way of using herbal medicines; they are one of the oldest preparations of medicine humans have ever used. But what exactly are tinctures? Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made by soaking herbs in a carrier, such as oil or alcohol. They are particularly popular because of how easy they are to use and the fast-acting effects they can produce. 

Tinctures can be both ingested or used sublingually. If ingested, the contents travel through the body and pass through the liver before entering the bloodstream, so the effects are delayed. If used sublingually, the effects are fast-acting as it is directly absorbed into the bloodstream through the capillaries in your mouth. Moreso, the dropper mechanism in a tincture allows the user to decide on a dosage to consume throughout the day.

For long-lasting effects, you can consider consuming CBD in other edible forms such as gummies or softgels. The effects of edible forms of CBD are delayed because the CBD product has to travel through your digestive system. In the process, the molecules are broken down, which degrades the CBD. However, research has shown that even though the CBD is broken down, eating CBD proves to have longer-lasting effects than any other method of consumption. If acquired from a trusted brand that tests its products, each gummy or softgel will have the same content of CBD in it. So you know exactly how much you are consuming.

Now, taking supplements and medicine is not fun for everyone, however, an additional benefit of ingesting CBD products is that they can be flavored such as our tasty gummies and our CBD tinctures that come in two tasty flavors, Tropical and Tranquil Mint!
