CBD Guides

Introduction to CBD The number of people using CBD is growing at a massive rate. It’s in the news almost every day, and there are now 2 million daily UK users, but where do you start? If you’re on the lookout for a simple step-by-step process to talk you through the world of CBD, then look no further. Key facts first! CBD has a good safety profile with very low toxicology reports—all research conducted so far supports this. Whatever your reason for taking CBD, our extensive batch testing means you'll feel secure taking CBD. Our 4-steps for CBD At Vitality CBD we understand that everyone has different levels of expertise and knowledge about CBD. That’s why we’ve put the whole process into an easy-to-understand 4 stage program, going from learning about CBD all the way through to buying your first CBD oil: Step 1: What is CBD? Step 2: How do I take CBD? Step 3: What's my CBD dosage? Step 4: How do I buy CBD? Completely new to CBD? Then just start at step one and follow the journey through to the very end. Feel like you know enough about what CBD is, but want to know the right method to take it? Then hop on at step two. That way you can take in the information whichever way you feel is best.

Our CBD experts are available there 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. Just click the icon in the bottom right corner of any page! Right then. Let’s get started! Step 1: What is CBD? What is CBD? It’s a question that people across the world have been asking more and more year-on-year. You may have heard it being described as a cannabinoid and cannabidiol, and confusingly those are both correct. Thankfully Vitality CBD are here to outline the basics and do some jargon busting before you buy CBD. The first and most important thing you need to know is that CBD is short for cannabidiol, a compound found in the cannabis plant. It’s one of over one hundred different cannabinoids that have been identified so far, so-named because they were first discovered in cannabis. Cannabinoids have since been discovered in many other biological systems including our own, but we’ll get to that later. Where CBD comes from To understand what cannabinoids are, and why they matter, we first need to discuss CBD’s relationship with cannabis. Cannabis is actually the term for a whole family of plants, which are usually split into two distinct categories: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica . These terms are in turn used as overarching titles for different strains. Traditionally sativa refers to the tall European plants, and indica to the bushier, shrub-like Indian varieties. For our purposes there are two terms that have far more practical use: Hemp refers to strains of cannabis grown for industrial use. These applications include biofuel, rope, paper and CBD. Marijuana refers to plants grown for recreational use i.e. getting high. This is why marijuana is often used to refer to cannabis as a drug. We already know that there are lots of different cannabinoids you can find in the cannabis family, but there are two key ones that help distinguish between hemp and marijuana. The first, and most famous, is THC. This is the compound that induces most of the effects typically associated with smoking cannabis, and is found in high amounts in marijuana. The second most prevalent cannabinoid is CBD. Research has continuously shown that CBD will not get you high, and is provenly safe for human use. CBD is typically found in high percentages in hemp, while there will be very little THC. All of our CBD products, from our CBD oils to our CBD topicals contain 0% THC. The human body and cannabidiol What’s most significant is that CBD is very similar to chemicals your body already produces. These endocannabinoids (a cannabinoid the body produces internally) are part of a network of chemicals and receptors known as the endocannabinoid system. The ECS acts as the body’s assistant manager, with receptors throughout most of the major organs, the nervous system, and the immune system. Essentially it ensures that the body is operating in a state of balance, known as homeostasis. . This involves checking that everything is working between key parameters, such as temperature, metabolism and pressure. When we introduce CBD into the body, the ECS is its means of interacting with us. In fact, because it’s so similar to other chemicals, CBD is able to integrate quite easily. That’s why we’re so confident in CBD as a natural compound that you can safely introduce to your body. Step 2: How do I take CBD? There goes step one! You’ve either learned what CBD is, or skipped ahead (don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you cheated), and now you’re wondering: what next? It’s all well and good knowing what CBD is, but now you need to figure out how to take it.CBD ingestion methods have a big impact on how it interacts with your body. That’s why we’ve broken this section down into even smaller steps. First off, we’ll discuss bioavailability and why it matters, before walking through your CBD options. CBD and bioavailability Have you ever considered why hospitals will generally administer drugs straight into your bloodstream? It’s due to something known as bioavailability. Essentially, the bioavailability of any given chemical compound is the percentage of it that the body effectively uses. The higher the bioavailability, the more efficiently the compound has been utilised. The main factor that affects bioavailability is how quick the compound’s path to the circulatory system is, hence why IV drips are typically the most effective method. So, lets look into how intake affects bioavailability! CBD Oral Sprays & CBD Oral Drops One of the most popular and widely recognised methods of using CBD are CBD oils. This covers our CBD Oral Drops and our CBD Oral Spray, both of which are used to apply a CBD oil underneath your tongue. CBD oils are just hemp extract blended with a carrier oil. The reason for applying the CBD oil beneath the tongue (known as using it sublingually) is, you guessed it, bioavailability. Rather than swallowing your CBD oils and sending it through the digestive system, let it soak into the blood vessels beneath the tongue for around 90 seconds. That way it gets into circulation much faster. The CBD will generally take around thirty minutes to be absorbed properly, and take six hours to leave the bloodstream. This makes CBD oils a great way to dose if you only want to use CBD intermittently. You can take half your recommended dosage in the morning, and the other half in the evening. When comparing oral CBD options it’s worth considering the carrier oil. The MCT (coconut) oil in our CBD Oral Spray helps mask the taste of the hemp for those who don’t like its earthy tones, while the hemp seed oil in our CBD Oral Drops works great with CBD to provide a full-bodied hemp experience. For more on our oral oils, read our CBD oils guide. CBD E-liquids CBD vaping has one of the highest bioavailabilities. By turning your CBD e-liquid into vapour you make it more easily absorbed. Since you’re inhaling it into your lungs, the CBD vape juice has a simple, fast route to your circulatory system. If you want to use a CBD e-liquid, but aren’t familiar with vaping, first thing’s first: you’ll need a vape device. Our Broad Spectrum CBD E-liquid is best used in a easily found mouth-to-lung device, either by itself or as an additive. However, you cannot mix a CBD vape juice with nicotine due to the way nicotine and CBD act as catalysts for one another. Due to the higher bioavailability when vaping CBD, it only takes 5 minutes to be absorbed, and 4 hours to leave the bloodstream. This is due to the speed with which the body is able to process the compound when vaped. That means vaping is for users who enjoy the process of taking CBD and want to dose semi-frequently throughout the day. For more on our CBD vape oils, read our CBD e-liquid guide. CBD Topicals It’s important to note that in some instances bioavailability isn’t the be-all and end-all, largely due to the prevalence of the endocannabinoid system throughout the body. A great example of this would be when looking at CBD topicals, such as moisturising creams and balms. When applying a cream to your skin the bioavailability is greatly reduced since the compounds must first make their way through the epidermal layer. That means the amount of CBD that actually reaches your circulatory system is very low. However, if you’re looking for a localised external release then the CBD topical will still reach the endocannabinoid receptors in the skin. That means that CBD topicals definitely have a place in your CBD routine. Our CBD Skin Cream and CBD Muscle Balm both contain a carefully curated blend of essential oils and skincare ingredients designed to support the hemp extract. The key is to be savvy and explore your options thoroughly. Since the bioavailability of CBD topicals is low, it’s a slower release means of consuming CBD. CBD effects will take around an hour to be asborbed and last for about five hours. Regardless of duration, if you’re looking for an external application then CBD topicals are the obvious way to go. For more on our CBD cosmetics, read our CBD topicals guide. CBD Edibles One of the most common forms of CBD is CBD edibles. This is where you’ll find CBD Gummy Bears, CBD coffee and even CBD protein bars, alongside more traditional ingestion methods such as CBD tablets and lozenges. While research has shown that ingesting CBD through your stomach reduces its bioavailability, it does make tracking your dosage through the day much easier, and is generally the quickest and most hassle-free way of taking CBD. CBD edibles and supplements are a great way of, well, supplementing your daily CBD intake. It means that you can just carry a tub of CBD Gummy Bears wherever you go, and dose more discreetly in public. That makes them perfect for being on the go. With CBD edibles it’ll usually take at least an hour to be asorbed, and roughly six hours to be processed. However, since the CBD first passes through the digestive system this can fluctuate depending on metabolism. Step 3: What's my CBD dosage? You know what CBD is, and you’ve managed to decide on a means of taking it. All settled right? Well you actually still have to choose the strength of your CBD oils or CBD e-liquids, one of the most important factors. That's why we've extensively polled our users to give you the best CBD experience. Find your CBD dosage We've surveyed our users extensively, and we've found that our most satisfied users are generally using 70mg a day. That's why we recommend that first-time users begin with a 1200mg oil, such as our CBD Oral Spray. By starting at a higher dose, you can easily figure out how CBD works best for you. After a week of using 70mg a day, you have two options: if you're satisfied, try decreasing by 20mg a day, and if you're dissatisfied, increase by 20mg a day. By using your CBD consistently, and experimenting with your dosage, you're at least 76% more likely to have a satisfying CBD experience. Some of our users also find that using multiple products simultaneously best serves their needs. It’s perfectly safe to use our CBD Oral Drops and CBD Muscle Balm at the same time for example, or indeed any combination of CBD oils, so long as you keep your dose relatively consistent. Finding the right method is part and parcel of your journey. These CBD combinations are so popular in the Vitality CBD office that we’ve actually written an article on two of our favourite product combos. Take a look at our CBD product guide, and see if you can find two products that suit you. Is CBD safe? It also bears repeating that CBD has been shown to be demonstrably safe, even at very high dosages. Case studies have been conducted where use upwards of 600mg a day. Step 4: How do I buy CBD? Rejoice! You now know everything you need to know about CBD, including what it is, how to take it, and where to start with your dosage—all that’s left now is to buy CBD! Our core recommendation is to look for companies that prioritise testing and quality control. The CBD market is very new, which also means it’s poorly regulated. That’s why we send all of our product batches to a third-party independent lab in order to ensure they meet the quality we expect. In fact, our central belief in user transparency is why we’ve made all of our CBD lab reports available online. That means you can match the exact report to the bottle in your hand.If you feel like you’re still confused on anything CBD, reach out to us on our CBD contact page, or give us a message on our web chat (9am-5pm Monday-Friday).

What are CBD gummies? CBD gummies is a general term for gummy sweets that contain CBD. These are becoming one of the most popular ways to get into CBD. They also make a brilliant gift idea for people you know who take CBD. However, CBD gummies are more than just a gimmick, they are indeed a fantastic way to either introduce yourself to CBD or continue taking it. Why CBD Gummy Bears? Over the past year, gummies have become one of the more novel ways to take vitamins, supplements and CBD.

Whether you’re new to CBD and looking for a tasty way to start out, or a seasoned CBD user who wants a way to top up their CBD dosage, we’ve got four great reasons for you to give our CBD Gummy Bears a go now. They’re delicious Let’s get the obvious out of the way — our CBD Gummy Bears are packed full of flavour.

Our current CBD gummy bears are flavoured raspberry and orange, which we think is an amazing flavour combination. Both flavours contain the same amount of CBD - 5mg. They make dosing easy All of our oral oils are designed to be precise, but let’s face it — when you’re using a pipette it can sometimes be tricky to figure out just how many drops you’ve taken. That’s not an issue with our CBD Gummy Bears. There is a set amount of CBD in each gummy, so you can simply count out how many you want and chew away! They’re great for on the go Sometimes it can be tricky applying a rub or even using a pipette on the go. Thankfully CBD Gummy Bears are perfect for that job. Just pop the tub in your bag or rucksack and you're ready to go, whether you’re in the office or out shopping in town. The best part? They’re really discreet too!

Why choose Topical CBD Products? When you buy CBD, don't just limit yourself to CBD e-liquids and CBD oils—many people also choose to take CBD through topical application. CBD offers a unique and fresh new way to tackle skincare. First and foremost, our CBD Skin Cream is made using Pure CBD while our CBD Muscle Balm uses broad spectrum CBD. The key fact here is that all of our products contain 0% THC, allowing you to feel confident with however you choose to take CBD. If you’ve not read Vitality CBD’s introductory guide to CBD, we recommend that as a starting point, but if you want to learn more about how our CBD Skin Cream and CBD Muscle Balm work, we’re here to help. Localised CBD skincare The main factor that differentiates between each method of CBD consumption is bioavailability. Essentially, a compound’s bioavailability is the amount of it that can be absorbed into your circulatory system, and the rate at which this happens. The more direct a path to the bloodstream, the higher the bioavailability, hence the use of IV drips in hospitals. As discussed in our guide on CBD e-liquids, vaping CBD has the highest bioavailability in our product range, due to the number of blood vessels found in the lungs. By contrast, topically applied CBD will likely never reach the bloodstream, acting instead as targeted support for a specific portion of your skin. How to apply CBD Both our CBD Skin Cream and CBD Muscle Balm have a similar method of application: simply massaging them into the affected area for the desired hydrating effect. This then leads to a subtle onset of CBD, taking around 60 minutes, and lasting up to 6 hours.Similarly, our pampering CBD Infused cosmetics range can be used as frequently as necessary without any adverse side effects from CBD overuse. If you'd like to learn more about our CBD cosmetics collection, view our complete guide here. CBD Skin Cream or CBD Muscle Balm? So, now you understand what separates our topical CBD products from the rest of the Vitality CBD range, it’s time to decide whether the CBD Skin Cream or the CBD Muscle Balm is a better fit. Fortunately, given their different points of focus, this distinction is a little simpler than between our Oral Drops & Oral Spray. CBD Skin Cream As the name suggests, our CBD Skin Cream is designed with everyday skin care in mind. Not only does it contain 300mg of CBD, it also contains a unique blend of moisturising ingredients to ensure the cream works on two fronts. These ingredients include sweet almond oil, beeswax, ginseng root extract, and chamomile flower extract, all bound together by a natural Green Tea and Lemon fragrance. Throughout our product range we generally foreground CBD and the hemp plant, but our CBD Skin Cream is concerned with a wider balance. This balance manifests in the potent moisturising effects of each individual ingredient. By drawing these disparate but powerful properties together, alongside CBD’s impact, the potency of our Skin Cream’s essential care is amplified. CBD Muscle Balm Where our CBD Skin Cream is focused on moisturising and supporting the ongoing care of your skin, Vitality CBD’s CBD Muscle Balm is designed for post-workout relaxation. Like our CBD Skin Cream, our CBD Muscle Balm contains a cannabinoid rich broad spectrum extract with 300mg of CBD to engage the body’s endocannabinoid system, simultaneously targeting receptors in your skin and muscles. Vitality CBD’s specially curated CBD Muscle Balm is comprised of an extensively vetted series of ingredients, harnessing an array of organic extracts to further the natural properties of the hemp plant. For example, the organic coconut oil we use is well known for its conductivity with CBD, and gives our balm its smooth and easy to applicate qualities. This is further enhanced by the blend of other organic oils, including argan, rosehip, geranium, eucalyptus and lavender. Argan oil, particularly, is well known for its unsaturated fatty acids, as well as containing more antioxidants per ml than olive oil. The oils in our CBD Muscle Balm act together to achieve a greater cosmetic effect than the sum of their parts. Learn more about CBD Our current product range is a reflection of years of research and development, all guided by Vitality CBD’s central belief in the natural synergy of the hemp plant. That's why everything in our CBD collection has been tested thoroughly. We also have category pages that cover each of our product ranges, including CBD e-liquids, CBD oils and CBD cosmetics, or if you just want to get a better overview on cannabidiol, see our beginner’s guide to CBD.

Finding the best CBD oil for you can be difficult at the best of times, and as CBD becomes more popular, it’s not getting easier. That’s why we wanted to guide you through CBD oils, so you can find the best CBD oil for you. Best Quality CBD Oil So what makes the best CBD oil? There are some key things you can do to ensure you get high-quality CBD oil. While CBD regulation is improving thanks to more stringent measures built to make CBD safer for customers, we’ve put together some useful pointers. Buy CBD Oil From a Reputable Retailer The first and perhaps simplest way to assure you are getting the best CBD oil is to buy from a trusted retailer. National pharmacies such as Boots and LloydsPharmacy are an excellent source of the best quality CBD oil, plus they offer on-site advice. Supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury’s also offer reputable CBD brands and are easily accessible. You can also always order straight from a brand’s website. This lets you pick from a full range of CBD products and may offer other benefits. Just make sure you are confident their products are safe, by checking if they have lab reports available and clearly display their ingredients - more on this below. Check Your CBD has a Clear Ingredients List This may be obvious, but it’s a quick way of investigating CBD oil. Check the product you are buying clearly lists the ingredients. This will help you avoid allergens and is a step towards getting safe CBD. Check Your Product has a Lab Report Available to View The best CBD oils in the UK will allow their users to view the lab or ‘batch’ report for the CBD contained within. Top CBD brands will always have their CBD lab tested by a third party before they use it in any of their products. This ensures that the batch does not contain anything above a trace amount of THC, while also checking for other unwanted substances. Quality CBD oils and other products will have a batch number on their packaging, which you can then enter on the manufacturer’s website. This will allow you to download the lab report for your product, so you can make sure you are getting exactly what you paid for. Don’t buy from Brands that Make Medical Claims The best CBD oils will adhere strictly to MHRA regulations, which means they will never make medical claims about CBD. Because of the regulation under which retailers sell CBD, brands cannot make medical claims specifically around the CBD content in their products. Don’t buy from brands who make medical claims; who knows what other regulations they aren’t following! What is CBD? CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of over one hundred different cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Cannabinoids are responsible for many of the recognised properties of hemp, and are currently being studied across the scientific community. One of the most famous is THC, which causes the high and negative side-effects linked with cannabis use. That’s why all Vitality CBD products come with a guarantee of 0.0% THC, and are harvested from hemp (a version of the cannabis plant bred to be low in THC and high in CBD). Unlike THC, CBD isn’t psychotropic and carries none of the associated risks, meaning it’s safe to buy CBD. What are CBD Oils? CBD oils are, simply put, cannabidiol mixed with a carrier oil (sometimes the names do make sense!). CBD oils are easy to take on the go since they’re portable, they’re quick to dose, and they enable you to take CBD quickly whenever necessary. Better than that, the carrier oil also enables manufacturers to blend in flavours to make every dose a delicious one.

What is Vaping CBD? Vaping is the simple act of inhaling the vapour produced by heating e-liquid in a vape device. You'll see this most commonly done as a smoking cessation method but is also a fantastic method of dosing CBD. In fact, vaping CBD has some major advantages over other dosing methods. In this guide we’ll explore everything about vaping CBD and everything you need to get started. What is CBD Vape Juice? CBD vape juices, also known as CBD e-liquids or CBD vape oil, are liquids containing CBD that are used in e-cigarettes. These delicious liquids are absolutely crucial to the vaping process whether you vape with refillable or disposable devices. CBD e-liquids are vaporised by the e-cigarette and then inhaled into their lungs where the CBD is infused into the bloodstream. Should I Vape CBD? There is one major advantage to vaping CBD: increased bioavailability. This simply means that more CBD is absorbed into the bloodstream per MG taken. By vaping CBD, not only do you experience delicious flavours, you are actually getting more CBD for your money. When selecting the right CBD product for you, there are a lot of factors to consider. For current vapers, e-liquids and CBD disposable vapes might be a more convenient and familiar way to take CBD. However, for those who may be moving over from smoking or are concerned about the health impacts of vaping, there are rightfully some key facts to consider. Like CBD, vaping is quite a recent phenomenon and so the health effects are not fully understood yet. However, it is important to note NHS England has concluded that vaping is 95% healthier than smoking. Is Vaping CBD Legal in the UK? Yes, as long as the device or e-liquid contains CBD from hemp containing less than 0.2% THC. THC is the compound found in hemp and cannabis that gives the ‘high’ associated with illegal cannabis use. Any CBD e-liquids or disposable vapes sold in the UK should not contain THC, which also means they won’t get you high. Are CBD Vape Juices Really the Most Efficient Way to Take CBD? Yes! Vaping CBD is the most efficient way to take cannabidiol because of how easily it can enter the bloodstream through the many blood vessels in the lungs. As mentioned above, we refer to this as bioavailability - namely the amount of an ingested compound that makes it into circulation and has an active impact on the body. Converting CBD into a vapour increases its bioavailability because of the larger surface area created by the dispersion of molecules. A larger surface area for molecules to absorb results in improved efficiency, so your body can use more CBD per milligram. How Can You Vape CBD? Vaping CBD can be done in a couple of different ways depending on preference. Below we will explore the two main ways of vaping CBD and explain the advantages and things to keep in mind for both methods. CBD Vape Juice One way to vape CBD is to use CBD e-liquids in your own refillable, rechargeable vape device. This method is similar to the more traditional forms of vaping and allows vapers to choose their preferred flavour and use it in their personal device. Using CBD e-liquids has many advantages. The first is that you have greater control over the experience. Vapers can choose their type of CBD e-liquid and use it with a device tailored to their exact preferences. The drawback of this flexibility is the need to purchase and familiarise yourself with different bits of vaping equipment. For new vapers this can be a big commitment to something they may not enjoy. In the long run however, vaping CBD by just topping up your CBD e-liquid is far more cost-efficient than buying disposables. Disposable CBD Vapes Disposable CBD vapes are probably the easiest and most convenient way to start vaping CBD. These small devices typically come in small, brightly coloured, pen-shaped devices that can be easily stored in a bag or pocket. Every CBD disposable vape contains a pre-charged battery and is prefilled with flavoursome CBD e-liquid, giving you everything you need to get vaping. The main advantage of disposable CBD vapes is that they require no set-up and can be used straight out of the box. This is perfect for beginners or those looking to vape as quickly and easily as possible. If you think that CBD vaping could be for you, then starting off with a disposable is an easy and cost effective way to see if you enjoy it. However, in the long run, CBD disposables are not the cheapest option; after all, you are essentially buying a whole new device every time, rather than just the CBD eliquid. Nevertheless, CBD disposable can be a helpful (and delicious) way to vape CBD. Explore the range of amazing flavours now and you could get vaping CBD in a matter of moments! What Does CBD E-liquid Contain? No matter if you choose to buy CBD e-liquid or disposable CBD vapes, the e-liquid within will be the star of the show. So what does it actually contain? CBD e-liquids contain a few simple ingredients, many of which are used in MHRA approved foods and medicine. The key ingredients in CBD e-liquids are: PG (propylene glycol) - Commonly used as a food additive, PG is a colourless, odourless liquid with a faintly sweet taste. VG (vegetable glycerin) - Also a common additive in food, VG is slightly thicker than PG and has a more pronounced sweet taste. CBD extract. Flavouring - The flavourings used in e-liquids are all MHRA approved and often used in a variety of other products. What Types of CBD E-liquid are There? Isolate CBD E liquids CBD isolate e liquids are vape juices based upon 99.9% pure CBD. These are perfect for those who love to vape and are looking to add CBD seamlessly to their e-cigarette. These e-liquids do not contain any additional terpenes, flavonoids or cannabinoids, which means they can be flavoured more intricately. The majority of Isolate CBD e liquids are 50/50 PG/VG, which means the optimum devices for use are mouth-to-lung. These are affordable open pod devices and are commonly available from all major vape retailers in-store and online. CBD + CBG Blend Sometimes an e-liquid will feature a blend of both CBD and CBG. CBG stands for cannabigerol, which is a cannabinoid like CBD found in the hemp plant. CBG is taken for the exact same reasons as CBD and together can even complement one another. There are good reasons some CBD brands blend both CBD and CBG together. First and foremost, CBD and CBG work well alongside each other and provide users with a more authentic hemp experience. Secondly, CBG creates a much smoother ‘throat hit’ and a more satisfying vape. Broad spectrum CBD E-liquid Broad spectrum vape liquids retain 40 different cannabinoids to complement the CBD, but leave out the additional waxes and oils found in whole plant e-liquid (more on that below), making the finished result much easier to vape. Broad spectrum CBD e liquids are available in several different flavours. Besides natural hemp, we’ve also worked to create two delicious flavours: berry and lemon. The sweet tang of the berry perfectly masks the hemp taste, whilst the citrus zing of the lemon makes for a particularly fresh inhale. Don’t just take our word for it - our lemon vape oil won Best Fruit CBD E-liquid at Vape Jam 2019! Broad Spectrum CBD E-liquid Strength Breakdown A great thing about broad spectrum e-liquids are the various strengths. We’ve kept it simple, dividing the range into 3 options. If you’re unsure where to start, see our helpful breakdown below: 300mg - A great introduction to vaping CBD. If you are new to CBD e-liquids or are a little sceptical, we’d recommend starting here. 600mg - Our medium strength vape juices have a bit more of a kick, but are still great for everyday use. Perfect for regular vapers. 1200mg - The big one. Even for veteran users our 1200mg oils pack a punch, though they’re still designed with daily usage in mind. Whole Plant CBD Eliquid Whole Plant E-liquid is the culmination of years of research and development, acting as a perfect union of scientific process and natural balance. To properly channel the innate properties of the hemp plant, manufacturers keep the whole range of these collaborative elements, including 40 different cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, waxes and oils. Since Whole Plant E-liquid is so focused on natural synergy, it is often only found in a natural hemp flavour. The vape oil itself is thick and rich, unlike traditional e-liquids. You may even have to combine the whole plant e-liquid with other e-liquids to get it to work with your vape device. Needless to say, this is one for the CBD enthusiasts. Due to the viscosity, we recommend you use a sub-ohm device for vaping, even when mixing with other vape juices and additives. Use approximately 1ml (20 drops) per day, and allow a few minutes after filling before vaping. CBD Vape Oil: Is it the Same as CBD E-liquid? It depends on the context. CBD vape oil is sometimes used as a term for CBD e-liquids; in that case, it is the same liquid described above. However, some people may be talking about vaping regular CBD oil, the kind you take orally. Under no circumstances should you vape normal CBD oils. Oral CBD oils are not safe to use or inhale as they are not made from VG/PG, you will just be inhaling hot oil into your lungs. Where to buy CBD Vape in the UK CBD e liquids are growing in popularity quickly, both in the UK and internationally. You can find CBD e-liquids in a local vaping store, or you can order them online. We have an award-winning selection of Broad Spectrum CBD e-liquids to choose from and shipping is free for UK customers.

1.3 million CBD users in the UK, CBD oil is more popular than ever and the number of users seems unlikely to stop growing. These certainly are exciting times to begin adding CBD to your daily routine, and the number of available CBD flavours is something that can help people start their journey, or add variety for those who are already enjoying CBD products. Here at Vitality CBD, we pride ourselves on the number of CBD flavours we can offer our customers. There really is a product to please even the most selective of taste buds! CBD oil flavours One of our most popular product ranges, our CBD oils are all about versatility and are a fantastic way to start using CBD or to make sure you’re getting your preferred daily intake. Available in multiple strengths and application methods, our oils also come in different flavours. The first and perhaps most popular flavour is the Natural Flavour CBD oil. Relying on the Natural taste of the oils and our high-quality CBD extracts, this subtle and mild flavour is a great place to start if you’re not sure which flavour you’ll prefer. However, if you prefer a bolder flavour then the Lemon Flavour CBD oil is also proving to be a real crowd pleaser. Lemon is always popular across a variety of products, and our Lemon flavour CBD oil is a less unusual taste than Natural, perfect for those hesitant of a natural CBD flavour or just looking for something new. If Lemon or Natural aren't to your taste, you are in luck as there is an entirely different flavour available; the sweeter Berry Flavour CBD oil. This flavour is for those who maybe want something richer on their palette, offering a sweet alternative to the previous flavours. The range of flavours doesn't end there for our flavoured CBD oils. Explore our Active fitness range for a bold and punchy choice of fruit flavours. These options reflect the dynamic Active range perfectly, but also make ideal alternatives to the more subtle flavours above. The first is the best-selling CBD Relax Drops, winner of Men’s Health Best CBD Product. This popular CBD oil is formulated with natural ingredients such as lemon balm for a good, calm rest but the flavour is all delicious Cherry. A richer taste that is more obvious in the mouth, our Relax drops are a tasty way to support your sleep. If you’re looking for the energising zestiness of an Orange flavour, then the Active range’s CBD Boost Drops are perfect for you. Fortified with vitamin B12 to help reduce tiredness and fatigue, our Boost drops are perfect for orange lovers or those simply looking to add something more to their exercise. Searching for a more lively citrus flavour? Our tangy Lime flavoured CBD Focus Drops from the Active range are a perfect candidate. This tasty CBD oil is enriched with vitamin A for maintaining healthy metabolism and clear vision, and is flavoured with an adventurous lime twist for a more exciting CBD oil. Finally for the CBD oils is the Recover CBD Drops from the Active range, a specially formulated CBD oil that includes vitamin D3 which is renowned for maintaining muscle, bone and immune system function. This CBD oil is also flavoured Lemon, but being from the Active range, it’s flavour profile is formulated differently for a sharper lemon taste. CBD e-liquid flavours It's not just our range of CBD oils that have a choice of flavours, for those who like to vape CBD there is a great selection of tastes across our CBD e-liquid range. The world of CBD e-liquids is also growing quickly and the biggest brands need a great selection of flavours to compete. We think our flavour choices are among the best, which is why we can provide one of the most premium CBD e-liquid ranges around. There are flavours you’ll recognise in our e-liquid range, with our broad spectrum CBD vape oils available in Natural, Lemon and Berry varieties.

While our fantastic CBD vitamins come without flavour to make them even more convenient, that is certainly not the case with our CBD Gummy Bears. The CBD gummy bears are flavoured in delicious Raspberry and Orange flavours and, with 5mg of CBD per bear, are a perfect way to supplement your CBD intake!
