Whether you’re new to taking CBD gummies or a long-time consumer, H&B has got you covered. We share our top picks for high-quality CBD gummies that come in a variety of flavours and doses to help you choose the right ones for you.  

What are CBD gummies?

CBD (aka cannabidiol) is an active ingredient derived from the cannabis plant.1 Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the other primary active ingredient in cannabis, CBD isn't psychoactive, doesn’t cause impairment and won’t make you high.2

CBD products come in various forms. In addition to CBD oil, you can purchase gummiessprayscreams and drinks.

CBD gummies are infused with CBD, which is often combined with fruit juice, a gelling agent and sweeteners. Like gummy vitamins, they come in various flavours, shapes and dosages.

What are the benefits of CBD gummies?

CBD gummies are an easier and tastier option for those who want to take advantage of the potential health benefits of CBD but don’t like to swallow capsules or the taste of CBD oil. 

Choosing CBD gummies over other CBD products comes with several advantages:
  • ease – CBD gummies are quick and easy to take 
  • convenience – they’re suitable to take on the go taste – they’re flavoured, so they 
  • taste better (CBD oil can be unpalatable for some) 
  • control – you don’t need to measure out drops of oil, so it’s easier to control your dose

How to take CBD gummies

CBD oil is legal in the UK, but all CBD products must comply with strict regulations.3

The UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends a daily limit of 10mg of CBD per day for a healthy adult with a body weight of 70kg.

You shouldn’t take CBD in any form if you’re: 
  • under the age of 18 
  • taking medication (without first consulting a doctor)
  • pregnant or breastfeeding 
  • trying to conceive5
