Cbd Capsules

Thirty CBD capsules, each holding 20 mg of CBD extract, which is 600 mg of CBD in the tub. The brand lists no fillers or additives and the capsules are made in the UK. Capsules are the format for anyone who wants the same amount every time with no dropper to count and none of the earthy taste of hemp oil.

CBD is not THC and has no psychoactive effect. One capsule a day, swallowed with water, is the brand's direction, which makes a tub of 30 a calendar month.

What it is

A CBD capsule is CBD extract sealed inside a capsule shell. Where an oil asks you to count drops under the tongue, a capsule is swallowed whole, so you get exactly 20 mg each time and taste nothing. The trade-off is that you cannot take less than one capsule, so there is no working up in 5 mg steps the way the oil allows.

The 600 mg total in the tub sits between our two oils (1000 mg and 2000 mg per bottle) and the gummies (300 mg per pack), and it is the simplest of the four to count: one capsule, 20 mg, done. The listing does not state whether the extract is full spectrum or isolate, so we do not say.

Capsules also travel well. There is no glass, no dropper and nothing to leak in a bag, which is one of the two reasons people switch to them from oil. The other is taste: hemp oil is earthy, and some people never get used to it.

This is a Herba Store UK own-label product, made in the UK according to the listing.

How to take it

One capsule a day with a glass of water, per the brand. Most people attach it to an existing habit, such as a morning coffee or an evening meal, because consistency is easier than timing. The listing does not specify with or without food.

• 30 capsules per tub
• 20 mg CBD per capsule, 600 mg per tub
• At one a day, a 30 day supply
• £21.99 works out at about 73p a capsule

Keep the tub closed in a cool, dry cupboard. Capsules do not need refrigeration and are not sensitive to light the way an oil can be.

What's inside

• CBD extract, 20 mg per capsule
• 600 mg CBD per tub of 30
• No fillers or additives, as stated by the brand

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the compounds found in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). Here it comes as an extract, which means the plant material has been processed to concentrate the CBD, then measured into each capsule. The brand does not publish the capsule shell material, so if you need to know whether it is vegetable cellulose or gelatine, ask us before ordering and we will check with the maker.

Who it's for

People who want a fixed daily amount of CBD with no measuring, no taste and no bottle to carry. It suits a morning routine alongside other supplements, and it suits anyone who has tried CBD oil and found the taste off-putting. The 20 mg amount is higher per piece than a gummy (10 mg) and the same as about 4 drops of the 10% oil.

If you want to adjust your amount gradually, the oil is the better format. If you want a lower fixed amount, or something you can chew, the gummies carry 10 mg each.

Pairs well with

The 1000 mg full spectrum CBD oil lets you adjust by the drop when a fixed capsule is too blunt. The vegan CBD gummies are the lower fixed amount at 10 mg each. For a topical rather than something swallowed, the CBD balm with lavender is the only skin product on the shelf. Browse all of them under CBD products, and every capsule we stock, mushrooms and herbs included, under capsules.
