CBD Topicals VS. Gummies: Which is Better?

CBD GummiesTwo of the most popular CBD products on the market are CBD topicals and CBD gummies. A CBD topical usually contains a lower concentrated dose than a gummy, and each is absorbed into the body in totally different ways. Which is better?

While there’s no real definitive answer to this question because it boils down to preference, we’re going to take a look at each to see what the pros and cons are. Whether you’re using CBD for workout recovery, anxiety, or even better sleep, the way to absorb the CBD is a deciding factor in how effective it is. Here’s a comparison of gummies and topicals so you can decide which is right for you.

Gummies

Gummies are a very popular form of taking both CBD and THC. Interestingly, whilst CBD is used most regularly for its health benefits, THC can also help with things like anxiety and chronic pain. If you are interested in trying THC as well, you should probably start with a delta 8 product, as delta 8 is half potent as its delta 9 counterpart. Remember though, that THC does have psychoactive effects, whereas CBD doesn’t. This is perhaps why most people prefer CBD gummies. Most CBD gummies start out at 10mg of CBD per dose. Depending on your age and weight, this could be plenty potent enough, but if it isn’t, you can get gummies with up to 25mg of CBD per gummy. Keep in mind that the higher the dose is, the more expensive your gummies will be. That being said, you might find that you can only feel an effect if you use a higher dose.

You should always start with a small dose and work your way up so you can see what your body needs. Everyone’s body chemistry is different, and where some people experience the full range of CBD effects from just 10mg, others may need more than one 20mg gummy for it to work.

CBD gummies are absorbed through the digestive tract, which takes longer than oils or topicals. This slow-release process can take longer to kick in, but will usually last much longer than taking oils under the tongue.

Topicals

CBD topicals come in many varieties, from lotions and massage oils to creams and beyond. Most people use topicals for localized pain and inflammation or even for treating skin conditions like acne. Topicals can be low or high in dosage, depending on what you’re looking for.

Topicals are a favorite for relaxation and muscle tension and are even used by athletes to help in their recovery process.

Your Specific Needs

When you’re deciding between topicals and gummies, it’s important to consider why you want to take CBD in the first place. Are you looking to improve your sleep? Reduce anxiety? Relax your muscles? Zeroing in on your specific needs will help you choose the right product.

CBD’s Incredible Benefits

CBD is one of 113 Cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant, and has some incredible health benefits. Not only does the compound affect the physical, but it’s also been found to help improve mental health as well. Anxiety disorders and even depression seem to be positively affected by taking CBD oils/gummies.

Some benefits include:

  • Reducing inflammation
  • Managing pain
  • Reducing anxiety and stress
  • Improving skin health
  • Improving focus and clarity
  • Non-psychoactive (no “high” from CBD)
  • Discreet
  • Little to no side effects
  • Antioxidant properties
  • Suppress seizures
  • Help with relaxation

These are just a few of CBD’s incredible health benefits, and you can get most of them from either CBD edibles and tinctures or topicals.

Where to Buy High-Quality CBD

Many people new to the CBD space make the mistake of heading to the local grocery store or gas station to purchase their CBD products. This is usually not a good idea, especially at a gas station. The best place to buy CBD products is either online from reputable brands like Penguin CBD, Purekana, Verma Farms, or Charlotte’s Web, or in a smoke shop/dispensary.

Buying high-quality CBD makes all the difference when it comes to the effectiveness of your dose. Make sure the brand you’ve chosen sources their CBD from USA-grown hemp, and always check online reviews from both previous/current customers and media outlets.

Try Something New

Both gummies and topicals have their benefits, but why not try both? Or, if you’ve only tried one, try something new. Using gummies and topicals won’t have any adverse side effects (unless you count the occasional fatigue from too much CBD) and can provide you with a wider range of options for getting your CBD dose.

The Take-Away

The debate between topicals and edibles doesn’t have to be a debate at all. Both have their pros and cons, and generally, it all comes down to how you want to use your CBD. If you’re using it for localized pain or swelling, or skin conditions, a topical will usually work better. Both can be used to improve relaxation or sleep.

Gummies are usually better for an all-day effect. If you’re suffering from constant stress or anxiety, gummies or other edibles may be a better option. Research into the effectiveness of CBD is promising, and millions trust CBD products to help manage anxiety, pain, and other conditions.

Be sure to only buy high-quality CBD from reputable dealers!
