    WHAT ARE CBD GUMMIES AND SHOULD I TAKE THEM?

    CBD Gummies are edible candies made with different colors, flavors, and shapes with cannabidiol oil in them. They are very important in a person's health and you should take them if you are struggling with some health problems like anxiety, stress, inflammation, and other health problems (Hamzelou, 2019). Those gummies are made discreetly and easily ingest CBD but because most of them are not approved by the FDA, their strengths and purity can vary between brands, and also the products of the same brands may differ as well. This means that there might be no guarantee that the product you got was what you were looking for. 

    CBD gummies are very beneficial to people they are very tasty and they are the easiest way to get your daily dose of CBD. People who take CBD doses say that taking gummies daily provides health improvements by relieving pain, improving sleep, and lowering anxiety and stress (Hamzelou, 2019). CBD gummies are very important and you should take them. It is advised that beginners should start with less CBD dosage for them to gauge their body response to the CBD products.

    How are the CBD Gummies Made?

    The process of manufacturing CBD gummies starts with isolating CBD which is a compound found in the cannabis plant but with a non-"high" inducing chemical. To get that CBD, solvent extraction is done where resin, oily hemp is detached from the plant material (Clark, 2022). This step of solvent extraction is very dangerous because it is attained with high flammable products such as ethanol, alcohol, propane, or butane which are used separate the CBD from the plant matter by allowing it to collect in a concentrated resin.

    Extraction of CBD can also be done by using the CO2 extraction method which is very safe and clean because CO2 is used as a solvent after being exposed to high temperatures and pressure which allows it to reach a "supercritical" state (Clark, 2022). This method gives pure products because it does not involve chemicals in it.

    After extraction of the CBD which is got in form of oil or resin, the impurities are removed through refining it. After that, the CBD isolate is now ready to infuse into gummies.

     All gummies are added primary ingredients such as sugar, flavor, and thickener so the ingredients are mixed, heated, and poured to mold. After the ingredients have been cooked, then the CBD isolate is added to them before they harden, and then the natural colors, preservations, and other ingredients are added (Clark, 2022). After the mixture gets cooled into a mold, then the CBD gummies are ready for packaging and usage.

    One can also make CBD gummies at home with any shape or flavor you want. They are made using the same process as above so it means that you should start by buying the ingredients. One should purchase a CBD tincture from a reputable manufacturer to get a quality product.

    Health Benefits of CBD Gummies

    According to the CBD gummies manufacturers, they claim that CBD gummies are very beneficial to the person’s body because they can be used in treating health problems such as relieving pain, anxiety, inflammation, depression, and improving sleep as well. Also, FDA has approved CBD products for treating epilepsy.

    Although everyone reacts differently to CBD products, it is also said that CBD products are fairly-tolerant if the right dosage is taken so negative side effects are rarely experienced (Arellano, C. J., 2022). After starting taking CBD gummies, one is expected to feel some benefits in his or her body like feeling calmness and relaxation which is brought by the CDB products.

    The results of CBD gummies will not be felt immediately because they must first go through the digestion process before the compound enters the bloodstream for it to show effects (Arellano, C. J., 2022). Most people report having felt the effects of CBD gummies within 30 minutes to an hour after taking them.

    How to Take CBD Gummies?

    Taking CBD gummies is more than just opening the bottle, popping a gunny in your mouth, and then chewing it to your heart's content. When taking CBD gummies, you should keep in mind some important tips such as:

    Dose low and slow: the taking of CBD gummies may be very tempting and may lead to one taking a large dose of CBD (Matthew, 2020). One should keep in mind that taking too much CBD dose does the opposite by increasing the risk of adverse side effects.

    Choose lab-tested gummies:  when purchasing CBD gummies, you should buy the ones which are tested by a third-party lab (Matthew, 2020). This is because the CBD industry is unregulated and this means that some low-quality products may make their way to the market which might be very dangerous to the people using them because they may contain harmful compounds such as pesticides and heavy metals.

    Buy from a reputable brand: when purchasing CBD gummies, you should always buy them from reputable brands. This is because; well-known brands are more likely to produce quality gummies with no harmful compounds in them.

    How Many CBD Gummies Should I Take?

    CBD gummies are made with a fixed amount of CBD. How much CBD gummies one should take depends on the individual desires but starting with the lowest CBD dose is important (Matthew, 2020). If you are planning on using CBD gummies for the first time, then you should by your reasons for using them and whether you are under any other medications because CBD is known for interacting with other medications.

    Conclusion

    CBD gummies are edible candles that are very tastier and come with a rainbow of colors and flavors as well. People who are struggling with some health problems are advised to take CBD gummies because they are very important in relieving pain, stress, and other health problems. For beginners of CBD products, they are advised to take fewer CBD gummies per day to gauge their body's response to the CBD products. Although CBD gummies can be homemade, their manufacturing should follow some steps to get the required gummies. There are so many different types of CBD gummies so you should be very careful when purchasing CBD gummies to avoid buying the harmful ones which may have impurities in them.
