If you struggle to understand which CBD products are the best products for you, you are not alone! CBD can be confusing. For example, CBD absorbs at different rates depending on how you consume it, and some types of CBD are more effective than others. It can be hard to determine which products or combination of products will best meet your needs.
We are here to help!
This article identifies the primary strengths and weaknesses of four types of CBD products you take orally: Softgels, Oils, Gummies, and Mints. It also identifies ways to combine products for even greater benefits. Finally, at the bottom of the article, we have a handy chart that compares these four products in multiple categories.

Best Combinations
FAST ACTING + LONG LASTING RELIEF
Take a Gummy (fast acting) and a Softgel (long lasting) at the same time.
FAST ACTING + TARGETED RELIEF
Take a Gummy (fast acting) followed by Rest, Relax, or Relieve Full Spectrum Max oil (targeted relief). This is a great combo if you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, or if you are experiencing discomfort and looking for fast relief that will last through the day.
LONG LASTING + TARGETED RELIEF for STRONG SYMPTOMS
Take a Softgel (long lasting) along with Rest, Relax, or Relieve Full Spectrum Max (targeted relief). These two products are the highest in milligrams, so they will provide the most relief for discomfort, stress, or sleeplessness.
