According to an article in Cosmopolitan, the search term ‘CBD gummies’ was the third most-Googled food in the entire US in 2018. Two years on, pretty much everyone will have heard of beauty and wellness products containing cannabidiol (aka CBD). There’s certainly been a buzz around CBD products in recent years, with people turning to more holistic solutions for self-care and wellness.

There is solid scientific evidence showing how CBD can latch onto cells in your gut and immune system, relieving issues such as anxiety, pain and inflammation.
But that information relates to CBD in its most pure form, which because of health regulations in Australia, retailers aren’t allowed to sell in such high doses. This is due to the fact that these are considered medications because of their obvious benefits to health.

But even if there is no legitimate research or scientific backing regarding CBD in gummy form, that doesn’t mean that these products won’t work for you, so it’s always worth trying them out to see if they are of any benefit to you. You can start slow and adjust accordingly. Slowly up your dose until you start to notice some results.

CBD gummies look just like their regular, lollie counterparts, coming in different colours, shapes and sizes. The ones that we stock here at A Greener Leaf are either watermelon or cherry flavour, or an assortment. Each gummy contains 50MG of CBD extracted from industrial hemp. All products contain less than 0.3% THC for those who are wanting to get real technical.

So why choose CBD gummies? There’s a whole bunch of reasons why this form of CBD is super popular. Commonly, pure CBD or CBD isolate is the type infused into the gummies to make sure it’s without the unwanted psychoactive side-effects of taking THC, a compound also found in the cannabis plant. Using CBD isolate extract for the gummies allows for a potentially more potent effect free from any unfavourable side-effects, no matter how many you eat! Good to know that there is no risk of taking too many.

CBD gummies are also non-addictive and a very convenient form of CBD, which means that there are no preparations needed before taking it. You can find ones that are suitable for vegetarians and vegans (without the gelatine) and as they come in bright colours and shapes like bears and hearts, it’s a fun way of taking CBD. Although they do look fairly similar to traditional gummy bears, these ones definitely aren’t suitable for kids, so make sure that they are out of reach of children and clearly labeled.

Here are some examples of benefits from taking CBD gummies.

May decrease anxiety levels

- CBD promotes the production of serotonin, the naturally occurring hormone responsible for the general feeling of well-being and happiness. For those who suffer with anxiety and depression along with other mental health disorders, taking CBD products might be a more natural way of encouraging serotonin production, instead of having to resort to prescription medications such as antidepressants.

May induce more restful sleep

- CBD gummies are good as a nighttime sleep aid, without the addictive side-effects or withdrawal symptoms.

May alleviate pain

- Because of how CBD interacts with the body’s pain receptors, it can help reduce and block the sensation of pain naturally. On top of that, it also has anti-inflammatory properties that can aid with pain relief for minor injuries and localised inflammation.

May battles toxins and free radicals

- Natural antioxidants are present in CBD, which help in removing free radicals, an unwanted output of the body’s own cells when producing energy.

May combat unwanted side-effects of THC

- Many people don’t want the psychoactive side-effects associated with taking cannabis, such as paranoia, heightened anxiety and hallucinations, so CBD gummies are an excellent alternative that are more gentle on the mind and body.
