Everyone is jumping on the CBD hype. Short for cannabidiol, CBD has been around since the 1940s but only recently has gained major widespread acceptance. Unlike marijuana, CBD contains no THC, which are the chemicals responsible for the mind-altering side-effects of marijuana.
To date, CBD has been linked to countless health benefits that go anywhere from helping with anxiety to treating chronic pain and beyond. However, CBD is available in a wide range of forms. How do you choose?
The Many Forms of CBD
With the expansion of CBD in the open market, manufacturers left, and right are coming up with different products to present cannabidiol to consumers. The most popular ones include:
- CBD soft gels
- CBD oil tinctures
- CBD creams
- CBD gummies
However, we’ve also seen CBD for pets, CBD water, CBD skincare products, and CBD-infused coffee. Not to mention, the countless CBD-infused recipes that go anywhere from ice cream to butter and cocktails.
Finding the Right CBD for You
Your personality is just one indicator you can use to find the right CBD product for you. However, you also must consider the type of CBD you prefer and the delivery method. Here’s a GR8 guide to help you find the best CBD for you.
The Right Product Type
Another critical factor is looking at how long CBD takes to work. Depending on your needs, you might prefer a CBD product that acts immediately, such as injections, for example. If you prefer a slower absorption, perhaps topical CBD products like salves, patches, and lotions are the way to go.
A Note from GR8NESS
Cannabidiol is a complicated topic. There are so many variants that can interfere with how your body reacts, so many different ingredients and options that it can be challenging to find the right one for you.
