Before we get to the products, let’s have a quick refresher on what exactly CBD is.

How Does CBD Work?

CBD is one of a hundred or so cannabis compounds, called cannabinoids—CBD being one of the most prominent (along with THC). Your body produces its own cannabinoids, or endocannabinoids. These are part of an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that signals to systems and organs throughout the body, helping them to maintain balance, or homeostasis. This helps the body to regulate a number of its most crucial functions, including sleep, appetite, mood, memory, and more.
CBD (cannabidiol) interacts with the ECS in much the same ways as the body’s own endocannabinoids, signaling to receptors throughout the body. This, then, helps those organs and systems to maintain homeostasis.** As you can imagine, this interaction produces a lot of health benefits, and is the chief reason CBD has become such a popular wellness product.**

Know Your CBD Products

Okay, let’s get to the CBD products. There are many different types of products to choose from, when you’re shopping for CBD. These cover a variety of tastes and needs.
Vaping with CBD (as with a CBD vape pen) delivers the fastest effects of all CBD products. When you vape CBD, the cannabidiol is absorbed through the lining of the lungs, which can happen in just a few minutes (or for some, even seconds!). The timing depends on personal bioavailability factors, such as height and weight, and the strength of your pen or vape kit.
CBD gummies, CBD capsules, and other CBD edibles take the longest for you to feel the effects of cannabidiol. This is because the CBD can’t be absorbed into the bloodstream until it passes through the digestive system. On the other hand, CBD capsules and other edibles have the longest-lasting effects of any CBD products.** The effects of these products can last six to eight hours.
CBD tinctures fall somewhere in between vapes and edibles. Sublingual CBD oils produce longer-lasting effects than vapes (usually four to six hours) and quicker-hitting effects than edibles (usually 15–30 minutes).
CBD topicals (CBD cream, CBD balms, CBD face masks, etc.) allow the CBD to be absorbed through the skin, proceeding directly to the affected area of the body. These products are formulated to address minor muscle aches, dry skin, and similar issues.

Make Sure You Know How to Find the Best CBD

It’s important to avoid purchasing CBD from cheaper manufacturers. There are many unscrupulous CBD brands out there, whose substandard products can potentially contain contaminants that pose a risk to your health!
Always purchase CBD products from a reputable brand, such as CBDfx. We only use organic hemp oil and a clean CO2 extraction process, leaving a pure and potent CBD product for your wellness. All of this is backed by a third-party Certificate of Analysis, so you can be assured you’re getting a pure and potent CBD product.
