Why CBD Gummies are a Waste of Money (and Why Your Body Prefers High-Strength Oil)

If you are looking to buy CBD in the UK, don't be fooled by the sugar-coated hype of gummies.

1. The Bioavailability Factor: Why Your Liver is Killing Your CBD

When you eat a CBD gummy, it must travel through your digestive tract and be processed by your liver—a process called 'first-pass metabolism'. Scientific studies show that oral ingestion results in much lower absorption than sublingual (under the tongue) application.

Our 12000mg High Strength CBD oil is designed to be dropped under the tongue. This allows the cannabinoids to enter your bloodstream directly through the sublingual gland, ensuring you get the full potency of our 40% formula without the waste.

2. The Math: Why 2 Drops Beats 10 Gummies

Let’s look at the numbers for our 40% (12000mg) oil in a 30ml bottle:

• One single drop of our oil contains approximately 20mg of CBD.
• A standard high-street gummy often contains 10mg to 20mg.
• Because gummies lose so much potency during digestion, you might only absorb 4mg from a 20mg gummy.

Effectively, just 2 or 3 drops of our slightly sweet, non-bitter CBD oil can be more powerful than eating a handful of 10 gummies. It’s cleaner, faster, and significantly cheaper per milligram.

3. "What is the best tasting high strength CBD oil?"

First-time users are often scared of the "earthy burn" of traditional CBD. Because we use a high-purity isolate, we have created an oil that is naturally mild and sweet. It is the perfect solution for those who want high strength CBD (40%) but demand a pleasant taste for everyday use.
