If you've ever stood in front of a bottle of CBD oil drops wondering whether there's an easier way to fit CBD into your day, you're not alone. For plenty of people, the answer is a capsule: no dropper, no measuring, and no taste to get used to. In this guide we take a closer look at CBD capsules, how they differ from other formats, and the two Love Hemp capsule options currently in our range.
Why do people choose CBD capsules?
Convenience is the big one. A capsule is a pre-measured serving, so there's no need to count drops or guess at amounts. You simply take it with a glass of water, much like any other food supplement. That makes capsules a popular choice for people who travel, work long days, or like their routine to be as simple as possible.
Capsules are also tasteless and odourless. Some people find the natural, earthy flavour of hemp oil a little strong, and a capsule sidesteps that completely. And because each capsule contains a set amount of CBD, it's easy to keep track of how much you're taking from one day to the next.
Capsules vs oil drops: what's the difference?
Both formats contain CBD extract; the difference is mostly about how you take them. Oil drops are taken from a dropper, which gives you flexibility to vary the serving size in small steps. Capsules give you a fixed amount each time. Neither is "better": it comes down to personal preference and lifestyle.
If you like the flexibility of adjusting your serving and don't mind the taste, you might prefer drops, such as our CBD Oil Drops 300mg - Mild | 30ml Tincture, which starts from £9.99 and comes in a choice of flavours. If you'd rather have a simple, no-fuss routine, capsules could suit you better.
Love Hemp CBD capsules at a glance
Our capsules are vegan-friendly and come in a jar of 60. Here are the two strengths currently available.
CBD Capsules 600mg - Medium
The CBD Capsules 600mg - Medium | 60 Capsules contain 10mg of broad-spectrum CBD per capsule, which adds up to 600mg per jar. They're made with broad-spectrum hemp extract and offer a convenient alternative to CBD oil. The price is £29.99.
CBD Capsules 1200mg - Strong
The CBD Capsules 1200mg - Strong | 60 Capsules are our highest-strength capsules and a customer favourite. Each capsule provides a precise 20mg of CBD, in a vegan-friendly shell that's tasteless and odourless. They're designed for experienced users who want a simple alternative to CBD oils. The price is £49.99.
How to choose between strengths
If you're new to CBD, it's sensible to start with a lower-strength product and take your time getting to know it. A 10mg capsule gives you a smaller serving to begin with, while a 20mg capsule is better suited to people who are already familiar with CBD supplements. There's no rush: it's perfectly reasonable to stay with whichever strength feels right for you.
Whatever you choose, always follow the serving guidance on the label. The Food Standards Agency advises that healthy adults should not take more than 70mg of CBD a day from all sources, and it's worth keeping a simple note of how much you take so you stay well within that. CBD products are food supplements, and they should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
Tips for building a simple routine
- Pick a consistent time. Many people find it easiest to take their supplement at the same time each day, such as with breakfast or dinner.
- Take it with food. CBD is fat-soluble, so taking your capsule alongside a meal is a common approach.
- Store it properly. Keep the jar sealed, somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, and always out of reach of children.
- Check the label. Every batch is different, so read the ingredients and serving guidance each time you open a new jar.
A quick word on the regulatory picture
The UK's rules around CBD are evolving. The Food Standards Agency has recently published its first recommendations on CBD novel food applications, and we're following developments closely. Until the process concludes, we keep our product information factual and in line with current UK guidance. You can read more about this on our Health Hub.
Who shouldn't use CBD supplements?
CBD food supplements are intended for healthy adults only. They are not suitable for anyone under 18. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, taking any medication, or have a medical condition, speak to your doctor before taking CBD.
The bottom line
CBD capsules are all about simplicity: a pre-measured serving, no taste, and an easy fit for a busy routine. Whether you prefer the gentler 10mg capsules or the 20mg option, you can browse both in our range and choose what suits your lifestyle.
Love Hemp CBD products are food supplements. They are not medicines and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended serving. Keep out of reach of children.
