CBD Capsules and Softgels

Each of our CBD oil capsules is third party tested and has 50 mg of Superior Broad Spectrum CBD formula in it, so how many capsules you take depends on how much CBD you want in a given day. If you’re just starting out, try taking one capsule every morning and evening and monitor how you feel over the next 30 days. You can adjust the amount as needed.

Keep in mind that if you’re taking other ingestible CBD products , like CBD oil tinctures or CBD gummies, all the products together go towards your daily CBD intake. You don’t have to worry about that in regard to CBD topicals, however, since those don’t enter your bloodstream.

Similar to the CBD capsules, CBD softgels are best taken daily at a consistent level for you to understand what works best for you. Try starting with the lowest concentration, one every morning and evening, and monitor how you feel over the next 30 days. If you aren’t satisfied with the results, try gradually increasing or decreasing the number as needed.

The lower-strength CBD sleep aid pills contain 17 mg of hemp extract (including 16.5mg of CBD) and 3 mg of CBD per softgel. For some people, one is enough to get a good night’s sleep, but you might find that two or three of them will be more effective.

The higher-strength CBD PM softgels rely more on the CBD and CBN for the calming effect, with 40 mg and 10 mg respectively per pill. Again, you may need to experiment to find out what works best for you.

The directions for full spectrum softgels are much the same as for other CBD pills: take one every morning and evening and see how you feel. Since people may respond differently to full spectrum CBD than to broad spectrum, however, you might want to take them at different times.

For instance, many people feel that full spectrum helps them to get good sleep, which means you might want to take a broad spectrum CBD capsule in the morning and a full spectrum softgel in the evening. Just do whatever makes you feel your best!

There’s some evidence that taking CBD curcumin capsules after a meal can improve the bioavailability, but our specially formulated piperine compound actually boosts the bioavailability dramatically in the capsule itself. So take it whenever is most convenient for you!

Each CBD curcumin capsule contains 27.5 mg of hemp extract (25 mg CBD) and 200 mg of turmeric extract. So how many you want to take depends on the total amount of these substances you want per day.

There’s no official FDA approved recommended daily amount of either substance, but studies of turmeric typically find benefits at around 500 to 1000 mg per day. Keep in mind, though, that your body doesn’t absorb much of the curcumin in turmeric in its natural state; we added BioPerine to dramatically increase the absorption rate, so you might find the results you want with a smaller amount.

CBD capsules and CBD oil tinctures interact with your body in similar ways, so which form you pick likely depends on what’s most convenient and enjoyable for you. However, if you take CBD oil by holding it under your tongue for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing, you will probably feel the results faster than if you take CBD by immediately swallowing it (in whatever form).

CBD capsules are federally legal in the United States if they are made from industrial hemp, which means hemp that’s less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. All of cbdMD’s CBD capsules are hemp derived, which is why we can sell them openly on our website. However, state laws on cannabis vary, so what you find in local stores will depend on where you are.

Our CBD softgels come in three varieties: regular, CBD PM, and full spectrum. Our original CBD softgels contain Superior Broad Spectrum hemp extract and are THC-free*; the only other ingredients in them are MCT oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and vitamin E.

The CBD PM softgels contain the same ingredients, but also have melatonin and herbs to help you sleep. The full spectrum softgels contain full spectrum hemp extract, which has a wider range of substances from the plant, including a bit of THC. It’s not enough to intoxicate you, but many people feel they get more benefits from the whole-plant effect.

The two varieties of CBD capsules are both vegan and are made with Superior Broad Spectrum CBD extract, but the curcumin capsules also contain turmeric extract and BioPerine, a form of piperine that increases your body’s absorption of the other substances. The original CBD capsules have 50 mg of CBD each, while the curcumin capsules have 25 mg of CBD each.
