CBD UK – Orally ingesting CBD is one of the best ways to get CBD. It’s also more effective than patches. You can take CBD orally in a variety of ways. These include adding drops to food or drink, gel capsules, CBD gums, CBD gummies and chocolate.
CBD must first pass through your digestive tract before it can enter your bloodstream. It is the slowest way to consume CBD, taking between one and three hours depending on how fast your metabolism is and when you last ate.
Many people feel this way of consuming is wasteful because some of the compounds are also lost in the liver’s first pass metabolism. It is still preferred by many long-term users who appreciate the lasting effects, precise dosing and the discretion offered by capsules and edibles.
While it may take some time to find the right dosage, you can always “top up” with quicker-acting products.
