For a lot of people, CBD gummies are a delicious addition to their each and every day. But not everyone understands the point behind them. Before we delve too much into the finer points of CBD-infused gummies, let’s be clear about what exactly CBD is. There’s a chance you’ve never heard of it before, or if you have, you may still be unaware of the exact nature of CBD.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it is a cannabinoid that comes from the hemp plant. Hemp, although a cousin of the marijuana plant, is considered federally legal nationwide and you can find it in just about anything: lotions, cosmetics, chocolates, bath products and of course, gummies. Unlike THC, another (rather infamous) cannabinoid, CBD does not have psychoactive properties and will not get you ‘high’.
What is CBD used for?
So why does CBD keep showing up everywhere? Well there are many properties to CBD that people find interest in. CBD has been explored in numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies, and some of its well-known qualities include its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s non-addictive and has not shown to be toxic. It’s been used to deal with stress, sleep issues, and inflammation from pain. In fact, Epidiolex is the first FDA-approved drug to make use of CBD and has been used to deal with two rare forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. CBD clearly has a variety of applications, and plenty of promise.
CBD Gummies
So where do CBD gummies fit into all this? CBD gummies are one of the tastiest and most direct ways to ingest CBD. CBD Gummies come in all shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of flavors to suit a variety of tastes. Most gummies are priced so that they won’t break your bank account, and you can easily source them online, such as here at Sun State Hemp.. One of the unique aspects of the gummies here at Sun State Hemp is you can even purchase from our line Nutrition + CBD gummies to better suit your diet or wellness regimen. It’s a win-win for anyone who needs something tasty to help relax or enjoy a more satisfying night’s rest, as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals.
How to buy the right CBD gummies
Don’t waste your money on expensive gummies that aren’t going to give you the top-quality CBD you’re after. There is a world of difference between good CBD gummies and the cheap stuff. There are a few main factors to consider:
Source and Quality
It seems obvious, but you want to get your gummies from a company that sources their CBD from natural, American-grown hemp. Some companies will try to cut corners in their product by skimping out on their hemp or not being accountable for its source. Stick to American-grown and manufactured CBD so you can ensure it lives up to the safety and quality of the regulations we have.
Method of Manufacturing
It’s also important to know how the CBD is getting into your gummies. Some companies literally spray it on, rather than infusing it into the gummies during the manufacturing process, which can make a world of difference in your CBD experience. Using cutting-edge methods like infusion can lead to a far richer, more reliable CBD gummy. Furthermore, most CBD companies use supercritical CO2 extraction given its overall safety and efficiency with extracting CBD from hemp. Be sure you’re aware of the methods used by your CBD manufacturer to extract CBD, or you may end up with toxic residue or a less-than-accurate cannabinoid profile.
Lab-Testing
When companies don’t provide an independent lab-testing report, or certificate of analysis, for their product, it stands to reason that the product may not be of the expected quality. If there’s no QR code on the product label or link to a lab report on the company’s website, you can’t verify that what you’re purchasing matches what’s actually in the product. At Sun State Hemp, we provide an independent lab test for each of our products, so you can feel confident in your purchase.
Medical Claims
Some CBD companies will make outlandish claims about the miraculous powers of CBD, and where they can, the FDA administers strong complaints to the offending companies. If your CBD company is claiming that CBD can be used as a ‘cure’ for illnesses like Alzheimer’s, cancer, even for depression, or ‘teething children’, it’s a strong sign to reconsider your purchase from that company. CBD can do amazing things – stopping cancer is not one of those.
We can’t state strongly enough, CBD is not a magical cure-all for your problems. If you’re in pain, or having trouble with regular sleep, then you should see a doctor first to make sure there isn’t something serious going on that needs professional medical attention. Your well-being comes first, and you should always be aware of what you consume and put into your body. It’s why we at Sun State Hemp take such thoroughness with everything we produce, to ensure you get only the most top-quality CBD possible.
