CBD gummies come in several varieties, including sugar-free, vegan and regular options. It’s worth noting that CBD gummies won’t kick in immediately, since they need to be digested before the CBD is absorbed, so the time it takes can vary from person to person.
Sugar-Free CBD Gummies
If you’re trying to cut back on sugar, sugar-free gummies are a good option.
Our sugar-free gummies are made for anyone looking to lower their sugar intake. They are sweetened with maltitol to create a sweet, tasty flavour, sure to give you that same nostalgic taste you know from perusing the sweetie shops. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol and can have a laxative effect if you eat a lot of it.
CBD Vegan Gummies
Over the past 10 years, there’s been a growing number of individuals taking on a vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based diet, and with it, there’s been a growing demand for options aligned with this kind of lifestyle.
A plant-based lifestyle involves avoiding animal products of any kind–not only meat and dairy, but also the by-products often made into supplements, like collagen.
Vegans and vegetarians also avoid gelatin, which is typically made from the bones and hooves of cows to provide that chewy texture.
And if you’ve already done your own shopping for CBD gummies, you might’ve already noticed that most of the options are made with gelatin. But every now and then, you find an option that’s not only vegan, but also delicious and comes in different flavours.
Instead of gelatin, vegan CBD gummies are made with pectin, which is usually made from apples and citrus fruit to give gummies that chewy texture you know and love. Always check the ingredients list on the product page to see whether a gummy is suitable for vegans.
Regular CBD Gummies
With specialty options like vegan and sugar-free CBD gummies, it’s enough to wonder: why take regular CBD gummies, to begin with?
For starters, regular CBD gummies come in a wider variety of flavours; for instance, our own CBD gummies range from Sour Worms to Watermelon Rings and Sour Bears.
On top of that, regular CBD gummies also come in a more generous range of jar sizes, such as 250mg, 500mg and 1000mg. The number on the jar is the total CBD in the whole jar, so check the mg per gummy on the product page.
If you don’t have any dietary restrictions, go with the classic option!
