8 of the best CBD tablets & supplements

Have you heard of CBD tablets or CBD supplements and want to see what the fuss is about? Perhaps you’re searching for an alternative to CBD oil? Let us introduce you to the wonderful world of CBD supplements!

Read our guide to discover 9 of the best CBD capsules / CBD oil alternatives out there, with real customer reviews to help you decide if they could be for you!

• What are CBD tablets? 
• Types of CBD supplements

Firstly, what are CBD tablets?

CBD tablets / capsules are simply an easy-to-take alternative to your regular CBD oil. They contain the same extracted CBD (cannabidiol) from hemp plant flowers and leaves as CBD oil does.

You can choose from small doses (5mg per serving) to large doses (50mg) per serving, depending on how strong you would like it. However, we always recommend starting with a smaller dose you can build on over time.

People usually go for CBD tablets and other alternative supplements over CBD oil because they don’t like the taste of it or enjoy the convenience of them, e.g. taking them at work, after the gym and travelling.

Summary

• CBD tablets are a convenient way to take CBD
• They contain the same CBD extracted from cannabis / hemp plants

Is CBD legal?

Yes, CBD is legal in the UK.

It is often confused with the marijuana that some people smoke, as they are both obtained from hemp plant. But marijuana is illegal, and CBD isn’t.

This is because CBD products contain very little of the psychoactive THC compound found in marijuana – the one’s that give people the associated feeling of intoxication.

Hemp cultivated for CBD oil and other products has been bred to be high in CBD and low in THC. As the THC is only present in trace amounts (or even non-existent in some products), it allows you to enjoy all the benefits of CBD without the side effects of THC.

Summary

• CBD is legal in the UK
• Products must pass safety tests and contain acceptable traces of / no THC

Is CBD safe to use?

Yes! Here at H&B, we wouldn’t sell something that is likely to cause you harm. The World Health Organisation’s 2018 Critical Review Report on CBD reports that CBD is generally well tolerated and has a good safety profile

All of our CBD products are below the maximum dose recommended by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2020.

What is the best CBD dosage?

If this is your first-time trying CBD, it’s recommended that you start with a small dose of a lower potency product. When you’ve got used to it, you can increase it bit by bit over a period of time if you want to, until you find the best dosage for you.

Common dosages of CBD:

• 5mg
• 10mg
• 15mg
• 20mg
• 50mg

Never exceed the daily allowance stated on product labels. 

Summary

• You can get CBD products in different doses, from low to high
• You should always start off with a low dose and never exceed the dose on product labels

Advice when picking CBD supplements

Choose a CBD product you will enjoy taking, whether that’s pure CBD oil, discrete CBD capsules, a handy CBD spray or some tasty CBD gummies.

Consider starting with a lower dosage, so you can see how it affects you and if you need a lower / higher dose. Remember, it’s easier to build up to a dosage than take too much too fast.

Always make sure you buy from a reputable retailer that you can trust sells safe products with high-quality CBD.
