CBD Capsules

CBD softgel capsules are similar to the capsules we just mentioned. However, soft gels contain liquid CBD extract, and they have a soft texture (no surprise there). If you’ve ever taken fish oil supplements, you will recognize this form. The soft, smooth texture makes them easier to swallow, and just like our other capsules, these are suitable for vegans.

There are three general types of CBD: full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate. Each variety offers different benefits, so let’s define each one.

• Full spectrum hemp extract contains all of the compounds naturally present in hemp plants. This includes all the cannabinoids, terpenes (which create taste and smell), and flavonoids (which give the plant its color). Full spectrum CBD contains a very small amount of THC (0.3% or less), which should not be nearly enough to get you high.
• Broad Spectrum hemp extract contains all of the same compounds as full spectrum CBD except that it has zero THC in them. Broad spectrum CBD products still contain terpenes and flavonoids, so they have an earthy, hempy taste and a translucent yellow-green tint.
• CBD Isolate is 99.99% pure CBD. It contains no other cannabinoids (meaning it is THC-free), no terpenes, and no flavonoids. Therefore, isolate has no color, taste, or aroma.

At Cheef Botanicals, we produce full spectrum CBD softgels, while our CBD capsules contain isolate blended with coconut powder. Even though a broad spectrum CBD, isolate, or full spectrum CBD product should not get you high, those who are especially sensitive to THC or don’t want it to show up on a drug test may prefer isolates. Drug tests don’t check for CBD because it is federally legal.

Whether you choose an isolate, full, or broad spectrum CBD, the benefits will soothe you throughout the day. Full spectrum CBD and broad spectrum CBD may contain different forms of hemp extract, but the CBD is what matters most.

There is more than one way to take CBD capsules. Sure, you can swallow them like any other pill, but you can also get creative in a lot of ways. Check it out here:

The standard method of consuming CBD capsules and soft gels is no different than any other pill. Pop it in your mouth and swallow, washing it down with a gulp of water. It’s best not to take these capsules on an empty stomach. Taking one with a meal or shortly thereafter improves may boost CBD’s effects even further.

Add to a Food/Drink

It’s easy to incorporate CBD into your favorite drinks. You can open up our isolate capsules and pour the powder into any beverage you want. Alternatively, you can puncture one of the CBD gel capsules and squirt the liquid it contains into your drink.

You can add CBD to your food in the same way you add it to your drinks. Just break open a capsule and empty its contents into your meal. Remember that the soft gels contain full spectrum CBD, which will give a slight hemp flavor to the food.

Tip for Consumers – Try CBD With Fatty Foods

As we previously mentioned, CBD binds well to fats like MCTs. Combining CBD with oil/fat makes it easier for your body to absorb, ensuring that you get maximum benefits. To get the most from your CBD capsules, try taking them alongside foods rich in healthy fats. We have some suggestions right here.

Hemp seed oil is a rich source of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. These are known as “essential fatty acids” because we need them to survive, but our bodies can’t produce them independently. We use hemp seed oil in our CBD tinctures.

MCT oil and coconut oil are packed with the medium-chain triglycerides we mentioned before. We use MCT oil in our soft gels and coconut powder in our capsules to give our customers maximum benefits.

Avocado oil is a great plant-based source of healthy fats. Avocado oil is also great for cooking because it has a high smoking point, meaning you can cook without fear of burning the oil! It’s a great option if you plan to make a meal with CBD powder/gel in it.

You won’t taste much of anything if you swallow a CBD capsule or soft gel. The plant-based gelatin coating has no flavor, and the pill’s contents won’t touch your tongue. However, if you plan to break the capsules open and add the contents to food or drinks, you may feel the texture of the powder. However, isolate powder is flavorless.

The CBD isolate powder in our capsules has no taste because it does not contain terpenes. You might get a slight hint of coconut flavor because of the coconut powder. The liquid in our CBD soft gels contains natural hemp terpenes that give it a nutty, earthy taste.

CBD works by interacting with the receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS). All vertebrates have an ECS, which controls many of the body’s most vital functions, including:

• Immune response
• Sleep
• Appetite and digestion
• Mood
• Memory
• Reproductive health

By interacting with your natural cannabinoid receptors, CBD may support the ECS and elevate its effects. A well-functioning ECS is vital to maintaining homeostasis, which is the optimal balance of all mental and physical processes.

CBD capsules and soft gels work in your body the same way CBD edibles do. After you swallow, the pill must pass through your digestive tract into your liver. From there, it absorbs into your bloodstream, where it travels to and interacts with the cannabinoid receptors throughout your body.

Like edibles, capsules and soft gels take approximately one hour to take effect. Some people feel the benefits as early as 45 minutes after taking the pill, while others need to wait almost 2 hours. Everyone’s body is different, and your metabolism affects how quickly the CBD reaches your bloodstream.

There is no such thing as better or worse when it comes to CBD products. Whether you choose CBD oil (tinctures), capsules, gummies, vapes, or flower, each type of product offers the same main ingredient: CBD. The differences have to do with your own preferences, like whether or not you enjoy the taste of CBD oil or something inconspicuous like a capsule.

With CBD oil, you have the option of dropping it under your tongue. This method usually allows the CBD to kick in faster than swallowed products. Tinctures dropped under the tongue last 4-6 hours, while capsules and edibles last 6-8 hours.

You may have heard of “CBD oil capsules,” but we find that terminology slightly confusing. A company could mean soft gels when they say CBD oil capsules, but it’s too easily confused with CBD oil.

The ideal CBD dosage differs from one individual to the next based on factors like weight and why you need CBD. For complete guidelines, check out our handy CBD chart. In the meantime, we’ll give you a few helpful pointers.

If it is your first time taking CBD pills, start with a small amount. The general rule is “start low and go slow,” so try one capsule and choose the lowest strength. At Cheef Botanicals, we offer a 300 mg bottle of capsules with just 10 mg of CBD per pill. This is a perfect starting amount.

If you don’t get your desired effect from a low amount, try increasing the amount next time. We offer 10mg, 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg capsules, so there’s something to suit everyone. We recommend consulting with your physician before starting a CBD regimen to ensure it will not conflict with any medications you take. You can also get professional advice about the right amount of CBD for your particular situation.

CBD products are well-tolerated by most people, and it has very few side effects. Generally, people do not experience any adverse effects if they take the proper amount. Just so you are aware, here are some of the possible side effects of CBD products:

• Change in appetite
• Upset stomach or diarrhea
• A slight change in mood
• Dizziness/lightheadedness
• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
