CBD Gummy Bears & CBD Gummies: Should I Take Them?

The introduction of the flintstones vitamins in the 1960s marked the beginning of a trend that is captivating humanity till today. By using a gummy bear as a carrier for one’s dose of vitamins, children, adults and old people managed to consistently consume their supplements.

The rise of the CBD and its products has created a huge market in the last few years, it was only a matter of time before CBD inevitably found its way inside a gummy bear. Today CBD gummy bears are one of the most efficient ways to consume CBD.

Here at Vapourz Lounge we will guide you through the world of CBD gummies, what they do and how you go about purchasing them based on your needs.

What Are CBD Gummies & GBD Gummy Bears?

CBD gummies are basically regular candy gummy bears that are infused with cannabidiol or CBD. The CBD itself is extracted from the hemp plant which is a breed of the cannabis plant. Hemp unlike cannabis does not have any psychoactive properties but instead has natural benefits to the human nervous system.

A few CBD gummies make use of  CBD isolate for their infusion while others use “full-spectrum” CBD as it includes various other cannabinoids and nutrients that positively impact the human body. It is important to know that “full-spectrum” CBD usually contains a percentage of  THC which gets you high.

Here at Vapourz Lounge, we use pure CBD extract in our gummies.

CBD Gummies vs. Hemp Gummies: Are They The Same Thing?

Because of ongoing uncertainty, many retail outlets will not carry CBD-infused gummies that are explicitly labelled “CBD”. Announcing hemp gummies as “CBD gummies” is still accurate since they are made in part from hemp, but allows them to be sold at outlets that might not carry a “CBD” label.

How Are CBD Gummies Made?

A CBD crystal is formed following the extraction process from the hemp plant, once collected this crystal can be easily dissolved in an edible medium. Most companies choose to infuse the CBD in bulk but in certain situations, the process varies.

What are the ingredients?

Pectin is the additive that gives gummies their well-known texture. It is a naturally occurring ingredient found in the cell walls of fruits. It is what leads to gelatinisation in cooking, when you mash fruits with sugar water, giving rise to jellies and jams. Its modern-day use is in its isolated form, allowing it to give rise to stiffer products like gummies and jellybeans.

Apart from pectin, CBD gummies contain oils, flavours, and sweeteners that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Our CBD gummies and CBD gummy bears generally contain cane sugar, organic tapioca syrup, sunflower oil, and fruit juice. Each CBD gummy bottle we currently have has a mix of both artificial and natural flavours such as mixed berry, tropical, strawberry, and orange.

For an added zing, we also incorporate malic acid and citric acid into our recipe, to give you that tangy lemony, sour apple taste. This is just an example of a particular flavour we have in stock for you.

Once the CBD is added to the melt, the gelatinous brew is allowed to cool down. After which, it is cut into cubes, gummy bears, or other shapes depending on the products. We even use high-end moulds for more exciting shapes. Once we do this, we coat the final product with a smooth coating made of wax derived from Brazilian Carnauba Palm leaves.

How To Use CBD Gummies

 The reason CBD gummies are so popular is that they’re tastier than raw CBD, which has an acquired “earthy” taste to it. They’re much easier to consume compared to tinctures and capsules, and they also have an added kick to them. Not to mention, they’re ideal for public and on-the-go usage.

This is why many people opt for CBD gummies, to carry along with them to work, on trips, and pretty much anywhere outside the house. Eating a CBD gummy or two can give you stress relief before a big presentation or other stressful events.

It should be noted that eating CBD takes longer to take effect as it has to work its way into your bloodstream. This also makes it have a more heightened and long-lasting effect. If you want to feel the CBD kick in at a particular time, you’ll have to calculate an hour or so for your body to completely absorb it.
If you’re new to the world of CBD, our advice to you is to take it slow. Though they are delicious, you shouldn’t munch on them like you would a normal candy. We recommend starting off with a couple of gummies a day for a few weeks, in order for you to understand how your body processes the CBD. Once you’ve gauged this, you can add or minus the amount you consume daily accordingly.

CBD gummies and CBD gummy bears also act as a good supplement to complement other CBD products, such as twice-daily capsules and CBD melatonin tinctures. You can always take a CBD gummy in addition to these for an extra boost of CBD’s natural goodness.
