The Main Benefits Of CBD Hemp Oil Softgels
When we talk about the benefits of hemp oil in capsule or softgels form, it must be clear about what ‘benefits’ exactly we are talking about. There are 2 main areas to consider…
1. The benefits of hemp oil in capsule form, compared to the raw oil form taken sublingually by a ‘dropper’ applicator.
2. The benefits of hemp oil in general, whether taken by capsule, edibles, or any other method of application.
Hemp Oil Capsules vs Raw Oil:
- 1
. CBD capsules in softgels form are the top choice for those who just do not like the flavour or aftertaste of raw (or refined) hemp oil. Similarly, to the way that cod liver oil capsules are highly favoured by those who want the benefits but not the fishy taste of cod liver oil! With the flavour of hemp locked away inside a softgels, the benefits can be gained without the ‘negative’ hemp flavour. - 2. Dosage is much simpler to control with the capsules and more accurate. If taking oil sublingually it is easy to get the dosage wrong by dropper application. Simply popping one or two capsules into the mouth takes away the question about measurement or CBD dosage.
- 3. Hemp oil in capsule form is safer to transport as there is no danger of the bottle leaking (as you may have with the oil) and oil dripping everywhere. The capsule bottle can be safely tucked away in your pocket without any such fears.
- 4. It is easier for most folks to measure out their dosage by capsule or pill form than it is to try and remember how many drops of oil they have taken in a day.
General CBD Hemp Oil Benefits:
First of all we must clarify exactly what we mean by CBD Hemp Oil – there is a VERY important difference between hemp oil and CBD Hemp Oil. With that said the general benefits of CBD hemp oil capsules or softgels could be summarised as the following…
- capsules are cleaner with no chance of oil leakage as with bottles.
- Easier to administer and regulate the dosage
- They will not disolve in the mouth before swallowing
- Capsules leave no bitter aftertaste
Hemp Seed Oil Definition:
When Hemp oil is discussed then it is the oil produced by the crushed seeds only, of the industrial hemp plant cannabis sativa. This is rich in omega fatty acids 3,6, and 9. It also has a host of vitamins and minerals including, calcium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc, and iodine.
Hemp seed oil, although produced from the industrial cannabis plant is also completely legal as it has none of the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant – especially THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).
Hemp seed oil contains large amounts of protein and carbohydrates plus a host of vitamins and minerals, including phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, iodine and vitamins E, C, B1, B2, B3 and B6.
This oil is used as a healthy food supplement and can be sprinkled over salads and other foods. It can also be added to shampoo to bring a natural lustre to hair – both human and animal.
CBD Hemp Oil Definition
CBD oil is produced from the stalk, leaves, and flower heads of the same industrial hemp plant, and is rich in over 100 different cannabinoids including the ‘big hitter’ CBD (Cannabidiol). However it is low in THC – under 3% – which makes it legal to consume as a food supplement (not a medicine) in the USA and throughout Europe.
CBD Hemp capsules are sold by the measure of CBD included in the hemp oil present. For instance CBDPure capsules contain a healthy 25mg Cannabidiol per softgel. This word ‘cannabidiol’ is important! Many sellers claim ** percentage CBD when in fact it is this percentage in Cannabinoids – of which Cannabidiol is only one element, with the percentage immeasurable.
CBD infused hemp oil is a way of increasing the percentage of CBD content in this oil – known as ‘full spectrum’ CBD oil. So where the oil might be a natural 2.5 percent Cannabidiol, this can be augmented by introducing CBD Isolate to increase the percentage CBD to 40% after which it becomes a concentrate or paste.
Although this CBD Hemp oil is also sold as a food or diet supplement, it is generally becoming more accepted because of the claims that it can cure or expedite the healing process via the endocannabinoid system in the human auto-immune system. Taking CBD oil to help control issues such as tinnitus, diabetes or even cancer, is becoming increasingly popular.
The CBD element is particularly important in this regard, and that is why it is important if you are buying a CBD product to make sure that your clear about your cannabidiol and cannabinoids!
Summary Of Hemp Oil Capsules Benefits:
Taking oil capsules to mask the hempy flavour is a no-brainer if you do not like the grassy taste of hemp. Though it has to be mentioned that some retailers do sell flavourless hemp oil.
Taking CBD capsules for general health purposes is also more convenient for many owing to the advantages softgels have over raw oil listed above.
Either way, it is more important to know exactly what you are buying. This is not always clear, according to the many sellers of hemp oil products I have visited – some of which apparently do not know the difference between CBD hemp oil and hemp seed oil.
Beware of such descriptions as “10% CBD Oil” Sometimes this is used to hide the fact that it is actually 10% ‘full spectrum hemp oil’ which may in fact only carry 2% actual cannabidiol. Always check that it says 10% cannabidiol, preferably in full spectrum oil and not just hemp seed oil or even olive oil, especially if you are using it to augment a healing process.
CBDPure Capsules carry the correct description, and contain 25mg of cannabidiol in full spectrum hemp oil.
