Have you been considering a CBD skin care routine? Or maybe you’re already enjoying the numerous benefits of CBD, but are looking for a new way to get this beneficial compound into your system? Either way, if your CBD skin care plan doesn’t include Nature’s Script™ premium CBD products, you could be missing out on the maximum benefits of CBD. But before we dive into the reasons why CBD can be beneficial for your skin, let’s start with the basics – what is CBD and how can it improve your overall wellness?

What is CBD?

Not familiar with CBD? That’s understandable. CBD has only recently gained mainstream popularity for its powerful therapeutic qualities bolstered by ongoing scientific studies. CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a natural compound extracted from Hemp, and it does not have any of the psychoactive effects associated with its sister compound THC. In other words, you can enjoy all the health and wellness benefits of CBD without “feeling high.” CBD works in conjunction with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), is responsible for maintaining homeostasis and regulating many other important bodily functions, including the body’s pain sensation, memory, mood, appetite, immune function, reproductive function and more. Two types of receptors, CB1 and CB2, make up the ECS. These receptors are found on cells throughout the body, and they’re naturally configured to accept cannabinoids like CBD. If you think of it like a key fitting a lock, CBD naturally links with these receptors to trigger a variety of health and wellness benefits based on how and where the CBD is absorbed into the body. Benefits such as the promotion of a calm and relaxed state, better sleep, stress relief and more. Check out our online resource for more information on the benefits of CBD.

CBD Topicals

CBD skin care products are part of the larger product category of CBD topicals. What are CBD topicals? They’re creams, oils, lotions, sprays, gels and any other CBD delivery method that must be rubbed onto the skin.

And when it comes to skin care specifically, dermatologists are beginning to recognize the benefits of CBD skin care products. According to some of the leaders in the beauty industry, CBD may be able to help:

Nature’s Script CBD Topicals target specific areas of your body and can soothe muscle and joint aches and pains. But we also offer a number of CBD skin care products that can help you look as good as you feel.

CBD Oil

Typically, CBD Oil is associated with sublingual CBD delivery. That means, putting a few drops, a half or whole dropper of CBD Oil under your tongue. And while that is one of the fastest ways to feel the benefits of CBD, it is not the only way. For CBD skin care purposes, Nature’s Script CBD Oil can be applied directly to the skin to help relieve irritation, reduce redness and even help control oily skin. That’s right, fight fire with fire…or fight oil with oil. If you’ve never heard of an oil cleansing, it’s a facial cleansing method that involves washing your face with oil. It might sound counterproductive, but it’s a dermatologist-approved way to help unclog pores and leave skin feeling smooth – not oily. But you must use refined oils designed with healing ingredients. Luckily for you, and your skin, our CBD Oil is the ideal option. Take your CBD skin care routine to the next level with some other creative topical uses for one of our most beloved products.

While Nature’s Script believes our premium CBD products can help improve dry, oily and irritated skin, we still highly recommend talking to a skin care professional before adding any new products to your skin care routine. Once you get the green light, we hope you’ll consider us for your CBD skin care needs. As one of the leading CBD manufacturers in the U.S., we believe it’s our commitment to quality, overseeing every part of the production process from seed to sale, that sets us apart in an oversaturated marketplace. You have a lot of options when it comes to choosing a CBD skin care product, but few have the third-party lab tested results, high quality standards, premium CBD, return customers and track record of Nature’s Script. And if you’re interested in improving your overall wellness beyond skin care, see all our premium CBD products.

CBD Edibles vs. Oil: Which is Better for You?

CBD Edibles vs. Oil: Which is Better for You?

cbd edibles vs oil

CBD Edibles vs. Oil: What are the differences, advantages and benefits of each? Nature’s Script™ offers both, plus several other types of CBD products used by millions of people for a variety of reasons. But edibles and oil are certainly the most popular ways to enjoy all the health and wellness benefits of CBD. What’s better and why? Let’s break down one of the most frequently debated topics in the industry: CBD Edibles vs. Oil.

What is CBD?

Before we explore the different ways to enjoy CBD, let’s give a brief overview of why millions of people enjoy Nature’s Script premium CBD products. CBD products have been around for decades, but have only recently gained mainstream popularity for their powerful therapeutic qualities thanks to ongoing scientific studies. CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a natural compound extracted from Industrial Hemp grown on American farms, and it does not have any of the psychoactive effects associated with its sister compound THC. In other words, you can enjoy all the health and wellness benefits of CBD without “feeling high.” CBD works in conjunction with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which maintains homeostasis and regulates many other important bodily functions, such as the body’s pain sensation, memory, mood, appetite, immune function, reproductive function and more. The ECS is made up of two types of receptors, CB1 and CB2, that are already configured to accept cannabinoids like CBD, and they’re found on cells throughout the body. Similar to how a specific key fits a specific lock, CBD naturally links with these receptors to trigger a variety of health and wellness benefits based on how and where the CBD is absorbed into the body. These benefits include the promotion of a calm and relaxed state, better sleep, stress relief and more. This is only the beginning of the CBD wellness story. Check out our online resource for more information on the benefits of CBD.

Understanding CBD Bioavailability

Before we get into a detailed comparison between CBD Edibles and CBD Oils, it’s important to understand a key aspect of how CBD products actually provide their effects: bioavailability. Bioavailability is “the rate in which a substance enters the bloodstream and is circulated to specific organs or tissues.” When we’re discussing CBD Edibles vs. Oil, bioavailability is the rate at which CBD metabolizes and the compound reaches your ECS. It’s important to understand bioavailability because it varies based on the delivery method. For example, CBD Edibles have a bioavailability between 6% to 20% and CBD Oil has a bioavailability around 10% to 35%. This means that you might need to consume a larger serving of an edible product to get the desired amount of CBD in your system versus an oil. Furthermore, although it takes longer for edibles to affect you than oil, those effects can last longer – with edibles lasting up to six hours while oil only lasts a few hours. Click here to learn more about how long CBD lasts with different delivery methods.

CBD Edibles vs. Oil

When it comes to CBD Edibles vs. Oil, which is better for you? In short: there’s no right answer. Everyone is different, and the way you consume CBD might vary from someone else, but it isn’t necessarily “better.” Everything from dietary restrictions to lifestyle choices to your daily schedule can change when, why and especially how you enjoy CBD. That’s why Nature’s Script offers so many different ways to incorporate CBD into your life. It’s not just about consuming CBD, but using it as a topical to soothe joint and muscle pain, enhancing a relaxing bath and much more. Let’s learn more about the differences and advantages of CBD Edibles vs. Oil so you can decide for yourself which is better for you.

Edible Education

Nature’s Script CBD Edibles come in a variety of products to give you more choices in how to consume CBD. These include CBD Capsules and CBD Gummies. Our capsules and gummies are our most popular types of edibles. CBD Edibles contain a pre-measured serving of CBD and are perfect if you don’t want to worry about measuring out your CBD every time you take it. That makes edibles the easiest way to consume CBD. Swallow a capsule or chew a delicious gummy, and you’re all set. Our capsules are flavorless and are as easy to take as swallowing a pill. However, our gummies taste great, and are a refreshing treat with the benefits of CBD built right in. Keeping a few gummies or capsules in your gym, work or travel bags is a great way to take CBD on the go.

An Ode to Oil

CBD Oil, also known as tincture, is perhaps the earliest and most widespread method for consuming CBD. And it’s easy to understand why customers love Nature’s Script CBD Oil. It travels easily in a small bottle with a dropper built into the cap. This means you can take a large amount of CBD with you in a relatively small container. The dropper has measurements to easily increase or decrease your serving so you’re getting exactly the amount of CBD you need. Whether it’s flavored or unflavored, you can easily mix it into your favorite foods or drinks. And best of all, CBD Oil can be taken sublingually, or under the tongue, which allows for quick absorption of CBD to the bloodstream. Learn even more about CBD Oil here.

CBD Edibles vs. Oil: The Comparison

But how do these two forms of CBD consumption compare to one another?

  • Because edibles must be digested first, their bioavailability is lower than oil which can be taken sublingually. However, the effects of CBD Edibles last longer than those of CBD Oil.
  • Capsules are flavorless, and while CBD Oil comes in an unflavored variety, it is not “flavorless,” and some people don’t like the flavor of natural hemp.
  • CBD Oil enables you to increase and decrease your serving to a precise amount, while CBD Edibles are pre-measured and cannot be easily adjusted.
  • CBD Edibles are easier to take: just chew it or drink it and you’re done. CBD Oil must be measured each time you take it.
  • Portability: CBD Oil is better for bringing on long trips as you can carry a large amount of CBD in one small bottle. But because you have to measure out CBD Oil, it’s harder to literally take it on the go. CBD Edibles are best for bringing a few with you to enjoy throughout the day, at the office or anywhere else you need the benefits of CBD. However, a large bottle of CBD Gummies takes up more space than a bottle of CBD Oil, and may not be ideal for longer trips.
  • CBD Oil can be added to food and drink to incorporate more CBD into your diet, whereas CBD Edibles cannot always be easily added to foods and drinks.
  • While CBD Gummies are one of our most popular products, those with certain dietary restrictions and those watching their sugar intake might prefer CBD Oil.

So when deciding between CBD Edibles vs. Oil, you can trust Nature’s Script to consistently deliver a quality product every time, no matter how you prefer to consume your CBD. And with so many options to choose from, there’s no reason to limit yourself to just CBD Edibles or Oil. We hope you’ll try all our products and decide for yourself which ones are best for you.

Fix Back Pain Without Prescription Drugs

Fix Back Pain Without Prescription Drugs

Tips for Improving Back Pain

Back pain can be mild for some and debilitating for others. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as age, lifestyle choices and disease. It is also one reason many people look to alternatives to prescription or OTC pain relievers, such as by incorporating CBD as part of an active and healthy lifestyle.

Continue reading to learn four tips for relieving back pain, including more information on how CBD is used by those who suffer from it.

1. Improve Your Posture

Poor posture puts extra strain on your joints and muscles that surround your neck and spine. This strain can lead to increased pain and even injury. While poor posture is a common cause of back pain, fixing it can prevent back pain now and in the future.

Examine How You Spend Most of Your Time

Whether your job requires sitting or standing for long periods of time, implementing ergonomic strategies can improve your back pain. If you work in an office, an ergonomic desk and chair setup can help. Place your computer screen at eye level and sit with your legs uncrossed and your head directly over your shoulders — keeping your spine as straight as possible. “Tech neck,” resulting from a forward-head posture, puts strain on your neck and back. If your job requires standing for long periods of time, adjust your posture so that you’re standing tall, keeping your spine in a straight line. Keep your head directly over your shoulders and your feet shoulder-width apart.

Set Reminders

Post a sticky note to your desk at work or set reminders on your phone to help you be more mindful of your posture throughout the day.

Use a Posture Corrector

Wearing a posture corrector is a subtle way to help you practice proper posture throughout the day.

Move Often

When you’re sitting or standing for long periods of time, it’s easy to shift into a posture that’s more relaxed and comfortable. Slouching causes other muscles and joints to overcompensate and can perpetuate pain and fatigue in your back and neck. Take a few minutes per hour to move around and stretch to avoid stiffness.

Thanks to muscle memory, the more you practice correct posture, the less you’ll find yourself defaulting into a slouched position.

2. Live an Active Lifestyle

Exercise can strengthen weak muscles and improve mobility in your back. Certain exercises and stretches can alleviate back pain. Incorporate a variety of strength, flexibility, balance and endurance exercises to experience optimal benefits.

Since your musculoskeletal system is interconnected, an imbalance can manifest as other problems. Weak core muscles cause the surrounding muscles to overcompensate, leading to muscle strain and fatigue. Strengthening your core muscles will help support your spine. Stretching can loosen tight muscles that may be putting strain on your back. Exercise and stretching can not only heal but also prevent back pain from recurring.

When it comes to staying fit, the soothing properties found in CBD products can help with the recovery process. As important as it is to live an active lifestyle, it’s equally important to make time for rest and recovery to avoid injury.

3. Eat a Healthy, Well-Balanced Diet

Sugary, processed foods perpetuate inflammation — to which the body’s natural response is pain. Research suggests that eating healthy, anti-inflammatory foods can alleviate back pain, improve your overall health and lower your risk of chronic disease. A diet rich with calcium and vitamin D can improve bone health and reduce the likelihood of back pain now and in the future.

Smoking is highly associated with back pain. It contributes to increased inflammation and heightens the risk of disease and disc degeneration. Obesity is also a risk factor for back pain. Living a balanced lifestyle with healthy foods and regular exercise can mitigate the risk of obesity and the illnesses that can result from it.

4. Try CBD Topicals to Find Relief

CBD topicals are products that you apply to your skin. These topicals can be used to target a specific area and provide anti-inflammatory effects. Some contain only CBD extract, while others are formulated with additional ingredients such as essential oils, arnica, lidocaine, methyl salicylate or menthol to aid in muscle and joint recovery and soothe soreness and inflammation.

Some people incorporate CBD topicals into their workout routine, while others use CBD products on an as-needed basis partly because of their many benefits. Most topicals can be applied multiple times throughout the day to provide the relief you’re looking for, when you need it.

Wellness Tips for a Balanced Lifestyle

Wellness Tips for a Balanced Lifestyle

Wellness Tips for a Balanced Lifestyle

Putting the famous saying, “everything in moderation” into practice is often easier said than done. While indulging in your favorite dessert or getting less than seven hours of sleep every once in a while is fine, an excess of unhealthy habits can have negative effects.

An imbalanced lifestyle can increase your risk of mild to serious health problems and perpetuate feelings of stress and unhappiness. Including regular exercise, nutrient-rich foods and CBD products in your wellness regimen can help you achieve a well-balanced way of life.

Read on to learn five wellness tips you can implement to live a balanced lifestyle.

1. Take Care of Your Physical Health

A well-balanced diet is key to reducing your risk of chronic disease and improving your overall health and happiness. Swap processed, high-sugar foods for healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein and more. Along with eating nutritious foods, staying hydrated can help regulate your body’s physical processes and improve your mental well-being.

Implement a consistent, versatile exercise routine. It’s recommended to include a mix of strength, flexibility, balance and endurance training three to five times per week depending on your fitness goals. Each type of exercise offers different benefits. Taking care of your physical health is a practice that you’ll benefit from continually. Click here to learn more about CBD for fitness.

2. Improve Your Mindset

Pessimism can lead to increased feelings of stress, which has a negative impact on your mind and body. Sometimes staying positive is challenging, but keeping a positive mindset benefits you both short- and long-term. The best way to practice positive thinking is by taking a step back to examine your thoughts and shifting the negative ones into a more positive light.

There are other things you can do to manage your stress. Start your day on the right foot with a productive morning routine or self-care regimen. Find what works best for you. Include things like meditation, journaling, practicing gratitude, breathing exercises and your hobbies.

3. Rest and Recover

Your nighttime routine can have a direct impact on the quality of your sleep. Implement a nightly routine that includes time to wind down. Swap the electronics for relaxing activities such as journaling or reading. The blue light your television, phone or computer emits is linked to disrupting your melatonin production, making it harder to fall and stay asleep.

Not getting enough sleep, or getting low-quality sleep, impacts your mood and memory. It can cause difficulty focusing and increase the risk of anxiety, depression and cognitive issues such as dementia. Sleep deprivation also increases your risk of health issues including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and more.

Getting a good night’s sleep will improve cognitive function and lower the risk of fatigue and injury. Along with getting enough sleep, be sure to give yourself a break from exercising to allow your muscles to recover.

4. Prioritize Your Relationships

Our social relationships play a crucial role in our overall well-being and health — physically and mentally. Healthy relationships offer many benefits including lower stress levels and less likelihood of illness, and can even increase your lifespan. Make time to catch up with friends and family regularly. Investing time and energy into these relationships is key to helping them flourish.

5. Add CBD Products to Your Wellness Regimen

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been gaining increasing popularity as an alternative wellness solution — and it’s no wonder why. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from Industrial Hemp. CBD is typically infused into a variety of products that can boost your overall wellness.

Those who take CBD report common benefits including an increased state of relaxation and well-being. Some are choosing CBD as an alternative to their over-the-counter medicines and others incorporate CBD products into their workout routine. Those who have Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency may take CBD to promote homeostasis. Numerous studies have been (and continue to be) conducted to discover CBD’s benefits.

You can find CBD products in a wide variety of flavors, formats and potencies. Some manufacturers offer CBD products with a blend of additional supplements to help you achieve your wellness goals. For example if you’re struggling with getting a restful night’s sleep, you may benefit from CBD Sleep Gummies formulated with melatonin. If you’re looking to relieve aching muscles and joints, a CBD Pain Relief Rub that contains menthol can provide cooling comfort. Be sure to guarantee the safety and quality of the CBD products you purchase with third-party lab tests.

Why Choose CBD Over OTC Medications

Why Choose CBD Over OTC Medications

CBD vs. OTC

Cannabidiol (CBD) has stirred many conversations in the medical field for professionals and consumers alike. While research and medical reviews are continually being conducted on CBD, many scientific studies have found promising results regarding CBD’s benefits, safety and efficacy.

Due to these findings, CBD has been gaining momentum as an alternative to traditional medicines and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Continue reading as we discuss what CBD is and why consumers are choosing it over traditional health remedies.

What Is CBD and What Does It Do?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound extracted from Industrial Hemp — a variation of the cannabis sativa plant that contains less than 0.3% THC. This extract is federally legal to produce, sell and purchase in the United States.

Numerous scientific studies have been (and continue to be) conducted to discover what CBD does, its therapeutic advantages and its safety. Overall, the results show that CBD may provide relief for a variety of issues. People use CBD products for many reasons such as stress relief, wellness support, enhancing sleep quality and more.

CBD can be infused into various products such as oils, topicals, and edibles. Some CBD products contain only CBD extract, while others contain a blend of additional supplements to boost their benefits, such as melatonin for a sleep aid. Different variations of CBD products can also offer specific benefits. For example, CBD Pain Gels effectively target muscle soreness, whereas CBD Capsules are typically taken to promote relaxation.

CBD Market Trends and Research Findings

In one study conducted by the Brightfield Group and HelloMD, 69% of CBD consumers stated that CBD was more effective in alleviating their ailments compared to OTC medicines. In this same study, more than half of CBD users reported that their CBD products were more successful than their prescription medications in providing relief from their conditions.

There are also some noteworthy market trends to consider in the CBD industry. A 2020 survey found that pain relief, improving sleep and easing anxiety were the most common reasons consumers use CBD.

Fact.MR reported that Low Potency CBD Gummies are predicted to be the most favored CBD product, while High Potency CBD Gummies have been steadily gaining more demand. CBD Gummies have a long shelf life and are a convenient way to take CBD on the go. They’re available in a range of potencies, blends and flavors to best suit your needs. It’s important to note that everyone responds differently to CBD. Finding your ideal serving size will depend on your sensitivity to CBD, weight and goals.

Why Are Consumers Choosing CBD?

Instead of conventional health remedies and medications, many people are turning to CBD for relief — for a few reasons.

Certain risks come with the use of OTC remedies and traditional medicines. Some medications, such as pain relievers and sleep aids, pose the risk of mild to serious side effects. Certain medications have the potential to be addictive, have adverse or intoxicating effects or interact with other medications you take. Along with the side effects and risks associated with these medications, their prices have been on the rise.

On the other hand, CBD is easily accessible and affordable, making it a convenient option for those looking for relief. Since CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, it doesn’t create the feeling of being intoxicated or “high.” What’s more, studies show that CBD is well-tolerated in humans — even when taken regularly and in servings of 1,500 mg per day. CBD is also non-addictive and isn’t associated with cases of overdoses — another benefit in comparison to certain OTC and traditional medications, especially those typically taken for pain relief and sleep.

CBD’s side effects are typically mild, making it a safer alternative. Research has found that CBD has the potential to interact with some medications due to impacting how the body processes them. If you have a medical condition or take prescription medications, consult with a physician before taking CBD products.

With all of these factors considered, it’s no wonder people are looking for an alternative, low-risk wellness solution that doesn’t break the bank.

How to Choose a CBD Product That’s Right for You

There are a wide variety of CBD products on the market. Different delivery methods and formats of CBD products offer different kinds of relief, benefits and convenience levels. Finding the product that best suits your needs, preferences and lifestyle is the key to achieving optimal results.

When choosing a CBD product, the most important thing to do is verify its safety. While the FDA doesn’t regulate the CBD industry yet, there are ways to ensure you’re purchasing high-quality, safe CBD products. Look for third-party lab testing and reports. These will guarantee the safety and accuracy of the product you’re purchasing. If a manufacturer doesn’t make its lab reports and certificates of analysis readily available, this is a red flag.

At Nature’s Script™, we offer a variety of premium CBD products sourced from American-grown Industrial Hemp. Our products are third-party lab tested and certified to give you the certainty that you’re purchasing high-quality CBD products. Shop our selection of CBD products today.

How to Add CBD to Your Workout Routine

How to Incorporate CBD Into Your Workout Routine

CBD and Working Out - Exercise with CBD

CBD has been gaining increasing popularity in the health and wellness industry. In many scientific studies and medical reviews, CBD has shown it can offer various benefits to its users. People use CBD to soothe discomforts, aid in stress relief, improve sleep quality and more. These benefits are particularly noteworthy for athletes, fitness enthusiasts and really anyone who desires a healthy lifestyle.

Continue reading to learn how to incorporate CBD into your workout routine to achieve your wellness goals.

How Can CBD Help Your Workout Routine?

Most people need to mentally and physically prepare before a workout. You may blast your favorite music, warm up with a walk or stretch or listen to a motivational speech. While these are all great ways to prepare for your workout, CBD products may help you take your workout to the next level.

Research has shown that CBD provides a variety of benefits that could give your pre- and post-workout routine a boost. Many people use CBD for stress and anxiety relief — which can be especially beneficial for those suffering from pre-workout anxiety.

CBD topicals can alleviate soreness and inflammation, making them a great solution for those experiencing muscle or joint discomfort. In one study, transdermal patches with CBD displayed promising results regarding inflammation and pain relief. A narrative review stated that CBD may offer anti-inflammatory benefits to its users, which could aid in athletic performance.

CBD for Your Pre-Workout Routine

CBD topicals are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. They work with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and its receptors to aid in pain relief while additional ingredients may provide soothing effects. A CBD topical product such as CBD Pain Relief Rub could help you have a productive workout if you’re experiencing muscle soreness or joint pain. CBD Edibles are known to aid in stress relief — which can help you get into the right mindset for your workout.

CBD for Your Post-Workout Routine

After you exercise, endorphins flood your body. These polypeptides boost your mood, however, if you exercise at night they may cause you to have trouble falling asleep. What’s more, when you exercise, your muscles break down. Giving your body the recovery and sleep it needs is essential to helping it heal and get stronger. Many people take CBD to relax and improve their sleep.

Along with relieving pre-workout discomfort, CBD topicals can help with muscle soreness after and between your workouts. A workout routine that incorporates proper rest and recovery will help you achieve optimal results.

How to Choose Quality CBD for Your Workout Routine

The CBD industry isn’t regulated by the FDA, which can make it challenging to find safe CBD products. When purchasing CBD, verify the products are third-party lab tested to be free of pesticides, heavy metals and other harmful chemicals. You’ll also want to ensure the products you choose are produced according to cGMP regulations to guarantee their safety.

Whether you’re looking for a sleep aid, to alleviate your aches and pains, anxiety relief or more, Nature’s Script™ offers a variety of third-party lab tested and certified CBD products to help you with your pre- and post-workout needs.

Products for Pre- and Post-Workout Discomfort:

How Many CBD Gummies Should You Eat?

CBD Gummies Servings: How Many Should You Eat?

CBD Gummies Servings - How Many CBD Gummies Should You Eat?

The increasing popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) supplements has raised a lot of questions around what CBD does for the body. There are many different types of CBD products, each with their own serving sizes and benefits. CBD Gummies are ideal for first-time users and those who need a quick, convenient solution for measuring and ingesting their CBD. Continue reading to learn more information about CBD Gummies, including serving suggestions and how they can help you on your wellness journey.

What are CBD Gummies?

CBD Gummies are edible chews that contain a set amount of cannabidiol extract in each gummy. They’re a convenient way to ingest CBD, have a long shelf life and are legal in all 50 U.S. states. Some manufacturers offer CBD Gummies with additional supplements and vitamins to provide various benefits, such as CBD and melatonin gummies for a sleep aid, while others offer gummies with CBD extract only. You can find CBD Gummies in a variety of flavors, blends and potencies to best suit your needs.

How Many CBD Gummies Should You Eat?

The amount of CBD Gummies you take will depend on your bodyweight, desired outcome, and sensitivity to CBD, as well as the potency of the gummy. (Most gummies have an average CBD content of 15-30 mg per chew.) Everyone’s body responds differently to CBD, which is why finding your ideal serving size will help you achieve optimal results. Serving suggestions may also vary by product, so a gummy serving may be different than a CBD Oil serving.

We recommend starting off with a smaller serving of one gummy per day to assess your sensitivity to CBD. If you aren’t experiencing the desired effects, you can increase the serving to two gummies per day. If you’re a first-time CBD user, start by taking your gummies at night. Once you’re familiar with their calming effects, feel free to incorporate them into your day at any time for on-the-go relaxation and stress relief.

Some people may experience side effects when they take CBD, however, research has shown that consistent use of CBD is typically well-tolerated by people — even when consuming 1,500 mg per day.

What are the Effects of CBD Gummies?

CBD is non-intoxicating and doesn’t produce a feeling of being “high.” This is because CBD is derived from Industrial Hemp — a non-psychoactive variation of the cannabis sativa plant. Industrial Hemp contains less than 0.3% THC and is federally legal to produce and sell in the United States.

Some gummies contain only CBD extract while others contain a supplement blend to provide other benefits to the consumer. Many people take CBD to relieve anxiety, alleviate physical discomfort, promote relaxation, improve sleep and provide a sense of well-being. Research is still being conducted on the uses of CBD, however many studies have shown various potential benefits.

What To Look For When Choosing CBD Gummies

When looking to purchase any CBD products, always ensure they are third-party lab tested and certified. This guarantees the products are free of harmful substances such as pesticides and heavy metals and also informs you of their CBD content. If a company doesn’t do third-party lab testing or make their certificates of analysis readily available, this is an indication that you should ask more questions or take your business elsewhere.

At Nature's Script™, we offer Original CBD Gummies, High Potency CBD Gummies and Sleep Blend CBD Gummies. Our Sleep Blend CBD Gummies contain CBD and melatonin to support a healthy sleep schedule.

Nature’s Script CBD Gummies are infused with premium CBD extracted from American-grown Industrial Hemp. We maintain the highest cGMP standards and ensure our products are third-party lab tested and certified to guarantee their quality, contents and safety. What’s more, our CBD Gummies are produced with our in-house machine at our state-of-the-art facility. Shop our selection of CBD Gummies today.

CBD Capsules vs. Oil

CBD Capsules vs. Oil

CBD Capsules vs. CBD Oil

CBD products come in many forms, and Capsules and Oils are two of the most common. Each type has its own benefits, and choosing the best match for your needs can make it easier to stick to your wellness routine. Whether you need something quick and convenient, simple and flexible, or the quickest way to absorb your CBD, read on as we discuss the differences between CBD Oil vs. Capsules and which one is the best fit for you.

What are CBD Capsules?

CBD Capsules are pre-measured servings of CBD extract in an easily digestible pill that you swallow. They come in a wide range of potencies, and some also include other supplements like calcium and magnesium to support your overall health.

Taking CBD in capsules brings the compound into your body through your digestive system. From there, it enters your bloodstream and interacts with receptors throughout your body and brain. It can take a while to start feeling the effects of CBD Capsules — up to an hour or more — but the relief tends to last for several hours. Some people find that taking CBD Capsules daily for several weeks provides stronger results than just using CBD from time to time. Having their serving in convenient, pre-measured capsules often makes it easier to maintain a consistent routine.

Everyone’s body reacts to CBD in a unique way. Some people find it makes them a little sleepy, and they take it an hour or two before bedtime to get a better rest. Others find that CBD makes them feel alert, and they take it in the morning to feel calm and composed through the workday. Depending on how much CBD your body needs, you may find that taking capsules twice per day suits you.

Research has found that your body absorbs and responds better when you take CBD with food, especially fatty foods like peanut butter, almonds or cheese. Thus, many people take their CBD capsules with a snack.

Pros and Cons of CBD Capsules

The benefits of CBD Capsules include that it is:

  • Pre-measured for a quick routine that’s easy to maintain
  • Portable, so you can take one before a stressful meeting or after the gym
  • Tasteless, for those who dislike the flavor of CBD

Drawbacks of using CBD Capsules include:

  • Takes longer to feel the effects
  • It’s harder to adjust your serving size

What is CBD Oil?

CBD Oil is another popular form of the supplement. It contains CBD mixed with a carrier oil, such as coconut MCT, grapeseed or olive oil, which dilutes the extract to a point that’s easier to measure and digest. Many CBD Oils also have natural or artificial flavorings to make them tasty, and some consumers like to mix them into healthy recipes to add extra nourishment to their mindful diet.

CBD Oil is incredibly versatile, because not only can you swallow it to get long-lasting benefits, but you can also take it sublingually, where you hold it under your tongue for 60 to 90seconds before swallowing. This lets some of the CBD penetrate the thin membranes in your mouth and enter your bloodstream directly, and helps the effects take hold more quickly. Some people find that the sublingual method lets them feel their CBD working as quickly as 15 minutes, compared to one to two hours by normal digestion.

A big part of optimizing your CBD approach is determining the right amount for your body and needs. Research has found that everyone’s body reacts differently to CBD, and experts recommend that you start with a low serving and increase a bit each day until you get the effects you want. This makes CBD Oil a preferred place to start for beginners since you can measure each serving according to your needs. Once you know how much CBD your body needs, it’s easier to choose pre-measured products like Capsules.

Pros and Cons of CBD Oil

Advantages of CBD Oil include that it can be:

  • Absorbed sublingually for faster effects than capsules
  • Measured each time to easily increase or decrease your serving
  • Mixed into foods for better digestion and nourishing comfort

Disadvantages of using CBD Oil are that it is:

  • Not as quick to consume as capsules
  • Not as easily portable
  • Prone to have a strong taste

How to Choose Between CBD Capsules and CBD Oil

Choosing between CBD Capsules and Oil is a matter of finding the method that best fits your lifestyle. If you don’t have time for a complicated routine and want a quick, tasteless, portable way to take your CBD, Capsules can be a great choice. If you want a more versatile format that you can absorb more quickly, helps you zero in on exactly how much CBD your body needs and lets you integrate CBD into your healthy diet, you might prefer an Oil.

No matter which format you choose, Nature’s Script™ offers a variety of premium CBD products that are third-party tested by an ISO-approved lab, so you can be sure you’re getting the amount of high-quality CBD you want. Explore them today, and find your own personal approach to wellness.

Talk CBD with Friends and Family

Talk CBD with Friends and Family

How to Talk About CBD

Discovering CBD can be an exciting experience, especially if it helps relieve issues that nothing else seems to alleviate. Unfortunately, despite growing research about the safety and benefits of CBD, many people are still skeptical, and this can make it hard to talk about your experiences with family and friends. To help you navigate this tricky topic, we’ve collected CBD facts and conversation pointers so you can speak with confidence and inform your loved ones about CBD’s potential.

Understand the Full Scope of What CBD Is Used For

The first step to speaking confidently about CBD is learning the facts so you can address your loved ones’ concerns.

Also known as cannabidiol, CBD is a compound derived from the cannabis plant that interacts with receptors in your brain and body. These receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system, which regulates many processes such as inflammation, sleep, anxiety and more.

CBD does not make you feel intoxicated. However, it can promote feelings of calmness and relaxation. People use CBD to relieve stress, get a great night’s sleep, ease stiffness after exercise and feel better in day-to-day life.

Know Where Your CBD Products Are Coming From

As a nutritional supplement, some people question whether CBD products are safe or if they contain the amount of CBD promised on the label. Premium brands like Nature’s Script™ address this concern and are transparent about the contents of their products. You should always look for third-party lab testing certificates to make sure the products you buy are safe and potent.

Another common concern is that CBD products might make you “high.” In the U.S., federal law states that the CBD in supplements must be derived from Industrial Hemp. Hemp is a non-psychoactive variety of the cannabis plant which contains less than 0.3% THC. This is very low compared to marijuana varieties, which can contain up to 30% THC. Federally-compliant CBD products don’t make you feel intoxicated due to the extremely low THC content within hemp and the extraction process that separates CBD from the additional contents of the plant.

Questions to Ask When Approaching a Difficult Conversation

Like any challenging conversation, talking to your friends and family about CBD requires a lot of empathy. They may be concerned about your health and safety, and need some reassurance that you’ve chosen your wellness approach with care. Some of them may be hanging onto old stigmas and may not be very open to a new alternative. In the end, you want to leave the conversation feeling connected, heard and supported in your journey. Asking yourself these questions will help you get there.

1. Do I need this person to know that I use CBD?

One way that people manage the stress of difficult conversations is by prioritizing the ones that matter most. Maybe it’s very important to you to have your partner on your side as you explore CBD products. You should also bring it up with your doctor or pharmacist, as CBD and other supplements can interact with some medications. On the other hand, you can probably let yourself off the hook for winning over your opinionated neighbor or the people in your carpool, and save yourself some stress.

2. How do they currently feel about CBD?

If your loved one is already open-minded about CBD or embraces alternative approaches to wellness or medical cannabis, starting the conversation might be as simple as sharing something that you’ve learned or asking about their experience with it.

If you suspect your loved one will have strong objections about CBD, you can set the stage for a calm conversation by listening carefully to their concerns.

3. What are their concerns about CBD?

Approaching a tough conversation with a curious, open mind can help lower the tension, and asking questions can help you get into the right headspace. When we focus on what the other person is saying and try to understand their perspective, it shifts our thinking. We use less of the anxious, fight-or-flight parts of our brain, and more of the empathetic and creative parts.

When you focus on being a good listener, not only does it calm your mind, but it helps the other person to be more calm and open.

4. Can sharing information help them understand my decision?

Sometimes, people feel a bit defensive when their opinion is being challenged. In this state, they may find that information from outside sources is easier to process than the conversation itself. You might share some educational resources about CBD.

5. What do I really need from them?

One reason we tend to get stressed about tough conversations is that we’re worried about losing the other person’s approval. But to have healthy relationships and feel safe expressing ourselves, sometimes we need to let that worry go. You might think, “Maybe it’s okay if my best friend doesn’t totally understand my decision to use CBD. Maybe what I need is for them to hear me, and accept my choice because they love me, even if they don’t agree.” It can be a relief to take the pressure off yourself to change their hearts and minds and help you communicate more authentically.

How to Get Started With CBD

If you have your closest supporters on board and are ready to begin your journey, the next step is to choose what type of CBD products you’d like to try. There are a range of choices from edible products like CBD Oil and Gummies, to topicals you apply on your skin like lotions and gels.

CBD Products Guide - Types of CBD Products

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound found in cannabis plants and is usually extracted from Industrial Hemp — a non-psychoactive variation of the cannabis sativa plant that’s legal to produce and sell at the federal level in the United States. CBD doesn’t make you feel intoxicated. Many people use it to alleviate physical discomfort, and studies have shown CBD may hold benefits for alleviating anxiety, improving sleep, and more.

There are many different types of CBD products, which lets consumers choose the delivery method that works best for their needs. For example, topical products, which are absorbed through the skin, can be effective for localized discomfort and inflammation, while ingested products, such as CBD Gummies, Capsules, and Oils, are able to reach your central nervous system to help soothe stress and anxiety.

Read on to learn more about the different types of CBD products, and find out which one might be right for you.

CBD Edibles

CBD edibles are ingestible products that contain CBD extract. When consumed, they bring the compound into your body through your digestive system. CBD edibles include:

  • Gummies
  • Capsules
  • Oils
  • Syrups
  • Prepared foods, such as baked goods

The greatest benefit of taking CBD orally is that it allows the extract to enter your bloodstream, interact with your central and peripheral nervous systems, and have lasting effects. In contrast, applying CBD topicals to your skin only allows it to work in that specific area.

The second advantage of taking CBD in edibles is that it can make smaller servings of the compound more effective. Studies have shown that consuming food along with your CBD, especially fats, helps your body absorb more of the compound. Another reason why people buy CBD in edible forms, especially Oils and Syrups, is that they’re easily combined with other foods. CBD Syrups can be added to ginger or turmeric tea to provide additional anti-inflammatory effects, and CBD Oils can be baked into foods with lavender or citrus rind, which have their own compounds that aid in anxiety relief.

The versatility of edible CBD products is appealing to many users, but the downside is that it can be difficult to gauge the amount of CBD in the final product. The processes of cooking, packaging and storage can deteriorate CBD molecules, so the amount of CBD in the initial extract may not equate to what you receive in the final product. That’s why it’s important to research the CBD company you purchase from to verify their manufacturing and lab testing processes are consistent and high quality.

CBD Gummies

CBD Gummies are soft, chewy edibles that contain a predetermined amount of cannabidiol. They’ve become a popular way to consume CBD because they tend to be convenient and have a long shelf life. CBD-infused gummies come in a wide range of flavors and can be a convenient way to take your supplement. Some people use CBD Gummies daily, while others pack one in their pocket or bag to eat after a workout or before a stressful event.

However, if you prefer to control the amount of CBD in each serving, an oil could be a better option.

CBD Oil

CBD Oil typically contains a concentrated CBD extract mixed with a carrier oil. This mixture makes it easier to measure, digest and absorb. Common carrier oils include MCT oil (usually derived from coconut), as well as grapeseed or olive oils. To take CBD Oil, you can either swallow it, mix it with food or drink or hold it for up to 1 minute under your tongue before swallowing. The sublingual method of consuming CBD Oil also enables a higher proportion of CBD to get into your bloodstream quickly through the thin membranes of your mouth. This is due to CBD Oil’s higher bioavailability and quicker onset time when consumed sublingually.

Because of its ability to be adjusted to your desired serving, taken alone or mixed with foods, CBD Oil is extremely versatile. Many people use it as a supplement in drinks and foods. One limitation to CBD Oil is that you cannot apply it topically to your skin. Topical products require special formulations to help the CBD molecules penetrate the outer dermis layers.

In terms of price, CBD Oils are one of the most affordable types of CBD products, and often the preferred format for people who take CBD frequently or in large amounts.

Alternatively, consumers who want flavors or on-the-go convenience can choose CBD Syrups, Gummies or Capsules.

CBD Capsules

CBD Capsules are gelatin pills with pre-measured servings of CBD extract that you ingest like any oral supplement. Sometimes they contain other supplements as well, such as calcium, magnesium or vitamins. Like other edible forms of CBD, capsules allow your body to absorb the compound through your bloodstream where it can interact with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The biggest perks of purchasing CBD in capsules are convenience and longevity. They can last a year or more if protected from heat, light and humidity, and unlike oils and syrups, the serving size is pre-measured.

If you need to adjust your CBD intake from time to time, a liquid or syrup that you measure out yourself can be another option.

CBD Syrups

CBD Syrups are sugar-based liquids infused with CBD extract that sometimes contain additional supplements. Compared to oils, some consumers find that syrups have a different and more palatable taste and texture. Syrups are also easy to mix into warm or cold drinks. Taking your CBD in a syrup allows you to adjust your serving size each time you take it, which can be helpful if you're in the process of finding your ideal serving size.

If you will be taking large amounts of CBD, then an oil, which can have a higher concentration of CBD than a syrup, could be a more affordable choice.

CBD Topicals

CBD topicals are products that you apply to your skin. They include CBD-infused lotions, gels, patches, rubs, and sprays. There are also CBD-infused skin care lines, bath products and lip balms.

CBD topicals do not get into your bloodstream. Instead, they work with nearby receptors to provide anti-inflammatory effects. Topical CBD is commonly applied to muscles and joints to promote recovery and alleviate soreness and inflammation. Some people find that CBD skin-care products help with their skin irritations. Many topicals contain additional ingredients, such as arnica, menthol or essential oils. It’s important to find a product that doesn’t contain harsh ingredients if you have allergies or sensitivities. It’s advisable to consult with your doctor or dermatologist before adding a new product to your skin care regimen.

Because they don’t enter your bloodstream, CBD topicals are better for targeting a specific area. If you would rather help your whole body, ingestible CBD products are a more appropriate option.

How to Choose the Right CBD Product: A Summary

Which CBD product is right for you? The answer often depends on the effects you’re looking for, the amount of CBD you’ll be taking, your budget and your personal preferences for taste and administration. Below are some of the takeaways from our product reviews.

  • For comprehensive benefits, edible CBD products like gummies, capsules, oils and syrups may be the most effective options.
  • If your main concern is muscle soreness, joint pain or skin irritation, topical CBD products can be a good choice. Look for a format that suits the area you’re trying to help, like a lip balm, lotion, bath bomb or gel.
  • If you know how much CBD your body needs, capsules and gummies can be a quick and easy way to reach your desired intake.
  • If you’re trying to find your ideal serving of CBD, an oil or syrup lets you adjust your serving size each day until you find your “sweet spot.”
  • If you’ll be taking CBD frequently or in large amounts, CBD Oil is the most affordable option.
  • If you’d like to take your CBD on the go, capsules and gummies are the most portable and convenient.

When you buy CBD online, look for third-party lab testing and certificates to confirm the product’s content. These lab results should also confirm that your CBD product doesn’t contain any harmful substances such as pesticides or heavy metals.
