By now you probably have heard about CBD Oil, CBD edibles, or CBD Gummies. Right? But maybe, like me, you are confused by all the terms used to describe CBD products; like Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, Pure CBD, THC-free, Hemp Extract, CBD tincture, and so forth. I was very interested in learning more about the differences in these terms and about the so-called benefits of hemp. Thus began my intensive research. Here is what I have learned as well as how I started taking CBD Gummies at night to help me decompress, de-stress and relax after a long day of working and taking care of my family.

What is CBD and How Does it Work?

The Farm Bill Act in 2018 legalized the cultivation of Registered United States Industrial Hemp, generating an onslaught of CBD products available for consumption. This also led to an increasing number of CBD manufacturers private label products being made available by some of the best-known health and wellness retailers to meet the flourishing demand.

CBD (scientifically referred to as Cannabidiol) is a natural compound in hemp seed, such as those you can find from Cope CBD. While most of the historical research has been specifically focused on CBD and THC, these are just 2 of the cannabinoids derived from the hemp plant. In fact, there are over 100 known cannabinoids and science is suggesting that ingesting multiple cannabinoids may be more beneficial to your health as each cannabinoid amplifies the potency and therapeutic properties of one another to produce the entourage effect.  

CBD and other cannabinoids interact with our body’s endocannabinoid system to restore and maintain homeostasis. Our endocannabinoid system is responsible for regulating our body and produces its own cannabinoids to help the efficacy of these functions:

●     memory

●     learning

●     decision-making

●     emotional behavior

●     motor control

●     coordination

●     appetite

●     body temperature

●     and more

 Research has shown that the majority of the population suffers from “cannabinoid deficiency” causing our endocannabinoid system to operate at less than peak efficiency, potentially leading to a general health decline. However, supplementing our diets with things like CBD Gummies can help to increase the number of cannabinoids in our bodies and therefore make our endocannabinoid system operate more efficiently. It is also possible to do this by supplementing with CBD Oil and other CBD products, as well as THC edibles and similar THC products. All of these could play an essential role in optimizing health.  

This is where my interest started to peak.

Benefits of Full Spectrum CBD Gummies

As I continued my research, I later discovered that while an industrial hemp-derived product can legally contain 0.3% THC, this very small amount is very advantageous to the entourage effect as this further amplifies the potency and therapeutic benefits of the other cannabinoids. I began to look a little more closely at CBD Gummies and here are some of the benefits I have discovered:  

1. Taste. When it comes to taking a supplement daily, the taste is just as important as the effectiveness. I know I am less likely to take a supplement daily if it tastes bad. CBD Gummies are flavorful and don’t have that bitter hemp taste that’s common with unflavored CBD Oil. So before you decide to Shop cbd oil, you can give a try to CBD gummies for a tasteful experience.

2. Long-Lasting Results. CBD Gummies have a long-lasting effect so you may find greater relief from health conditions like pain, inflammation, stress, and anxiety for a longer period of time than experienced with CBD Oil.

3. Easy Dosing. Dosing CBD Gummies is one of the easiest to follow as you chew 1-2 gummies. There is no measuring. Whereas, CBD Oil relies on dosing via a dropper.

4. Convenient. These are discrete and look like candy or vitamin gummies. CBD Gummies are great for on-the-go, active lifestyles or at home. 

5. Deeper State of Relaxation. People are finding deeper states of relaxation with the CBD Gummies, and ingest before sleep to improve upon their sleep cycles. CBD Gummies have a calming effect, alleviating tension in the body and allowing you to “turn off” your brain more quickly. This results in falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer.

6. Alternative to NSAID Drugs. Due to the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, many athletes are turning to CBD Gummies to aid in their post-workout recovery to reduce aches and pains and to maximize their training. They are turning to CBD in lieu of using ibuprofen or aspirin, which may have long-term side effects.

7. Stress Relief. Many parents are choosing CBD Gummies to help support management of everyday stresses. Between careers, family and household responsibilities being a parent can be overwhelming at times so this is a great supplement to help clear the brain fog, anxiety and stress.

CBD Gummies for Nighttime

As a father who lives a rather active lifestyle, I was looking for something that can help combat my aches and pains in my body but also support my mental health. I was pleasantly surprised by how effective Full Spectrum CBD Gummies have been on both fronts. I take 1-2 Gummies at night and within the hour I can feel the tension in my body subside and a sense of calm come over me. I feel relaxed and it helps me to decompress and turn off my “dad” brain. What’s more is that I have been sleeping deeper and feel more rested when I awake in the morning. This has been a game changer for my health, mentally and physically.

Beware, Not All CBD Gummies Are Created Equal

Many CBD Gummies contain artificial flavoring or artificial coloring, so it is important to look at all the ingredients in the CBD Gummies in addition to the potency of the cannabinoids in each gummy. Furthermore, not all brands infuse the gummies with CBD but rather dip them. CBD Infused Gummies provide a quality controlled serving CBD delivery system.  

One brand of CBD Gummies that is being hailed as one of the best CBD Gummies on the market is Veré. This brand goes the extra mile for its customers and has formulated one of the healthiest CBD Gummies. Each gummy packs a powerful punch with 10mg Full Spectrum CBD Extract, multivitamins (A, B6, B12, C, D and E) and natural flavors from grape juice concentrate, elderberry juice concentrate and annatto. To boot, these CBD Gummies are vegan-friendly.
