Unless you've been living under a rock these last few years, you've no doubt heard about CBD and the benefits, like better sleep and calming effects, people say it provides. Maybe you've even tried it yourself. But for both new and experienced users, it can seem like an awfully expensive habit.
Low-potency CBD products can seem affordable at first glance, but if you aren't experiencing any of the benefits, the higher-potency options can run into hundreds of dollars for just one bottle of CBD oil. With the price of everything else being what it is, who can afford that?
Fortunately, CBD company cbdMD has just rolled out a new selection of high-strength CBD oils, gummies, and capsules with as much as 200 mg per serving that cost no more than $90 a bottle — and thanks to a special sale, currently the top price is $67.49 a bottle. Check out this CBD price-comparison chart to see how much lower that is than the leading competitors.
Wait — How Can High-Quality CBD Be That Cheap?
At this point, your alarm bells might be going off. If you've done any research on CBD oil at all, you've probably seen warnings against the sort of cheap CBD products that you can find in places like gas stations and flea markets, with their poor quality control and inaccurate labeling. So why should you trust cbdMD's offerings?
The answer has to do with what industry people call "the maturity of the market." Hemp-derived CBD was only just federally legalized at the start of 2019, with pilot programs in hemp farming starting just five years before that. With legalization, demand for CBD exploded — but you can only grow a hemp farm so fast. In our company's experience, we found that the tight supply meant that raw CBD would be expensive. And cbdMD, like other CBD companies at the time, priced its products accordingly.
Now, there's a lot more hemp being grown in the United States, so it's possible to charge a lower price for CBD oil without bankrupting the company. But cbdMD is still using the same strict quality-control procedures it's used all along: third-party ISO-certified lab testing on every batch to ensure the labels are accurate, as well as NSF inspection and certification of all its facilities. So you can rest assured that even though the price may be low, the quality is not.
What Strength CBD Should I Take?
cbdMD's current offerings range from 50 mg to 250 mg of CBD per serving, so you've still got lots of options when it comes to your CBD dosage. That's because, while research is increasingly supporting the idea that more CBD is better at achieving those desired effects, there is still a lot of variation in how your body will respond and what you're taking CBD for.
Another thing to keep in mind is that your body's response can vary depending on whether you're taking broad-spectrum or full-spectrum CBD products. Both are similar in that they use compounds from the hemp plant to create the CBD, but full-spectrum CBD contains a small amount of THC. Broad spectrum, however, has no detectable amount of it. cbdMD offers options like full-spectrum CBD gummies, full-spectrum capsules (for easy usage), and a whole slew of other options.
Many users find that the little bit of THC, while not enough to cause a high,makes the product feel more potentthan a broad-spectrum product with the same amount of CBD. Options like broad-spectrum CBD softgels make it easy to get the right product for you!
If you're interested in CBD specifically for sleep, you can also find a selection of CBD sleep aids that combine CBD with melatonin and traditional soothing herbs for extra snooze-inducing power. The sleep aids are also available in both broad-spectrum and full-spectrum versions.
So if you were thinking that effective, high-quality CBD was beyond your budget, think again. Just ask our friends at cbdMD.
