With the rise in popularity of CBD usage, it seems an apt time to discuss the relationship between CBD and sports. CBD is being used on a daily basis for a wide variety of reasons. While the benefits of CBD for general well-being is what is mostly explored in the media, we shouldn't discount its prevalence in other areas.
How CBD Could Affect Your Fitness

Whether it’s a pre-workout supplement, or protein powder, we’re always on the lookout for products to help improve our workout regimes. CBD has only been legal in the UK since 2018, so when it comes to CBD-infused supplements, there is understandably still some grey area.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant that has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its many potential health benefits. But how can CBD affect your fitness? Well, there is growing evidence to suggest that it may have a positive impact on physical performance.
Muscle and joint support
One of the ways in which CBD may affect fitness is by reducing inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or stress, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to a range of health problems, including joint pain, muscle soreness, and fatigue. Studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce these symptoms and improve recovery time after exercise.
In 2020, UFC star Conor McGregor teamed up with TIDL Sport to create a CBD-infused recovery spray. It's now become a very popular product which is widely used by MMA combatants as well as athletes in other fields.
CBD can improve blood flow and subsequent oxygen supply, as well as removal of waste, this means more endurance for intense workouts. It may seem a small step, but incorporating CBD into a workout regime could prove vital in regards to seeing results. If like many gym goers you’re hoping to hit your personal best, consider the benefits of recovery when using CBD.
CBD may also have a positive impact on sleep, which is essential for both physical and mental health. Getting enough sleep is crucial for muscle recovery and growth, and it can also improve energy levels and cognitive function. Research suggests that CBD may help to improve sleep quality by reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.
Every personal trainer will tell you the importance of a good nutritional diet and a thorough training schedule. However, they tend to place less emphasis on sleep, and how important a good night's rest is for the body. Of course, everybody is different, but the average person burns around 50 calories per hour of sleep. With that in mind, it’s worth noting that CBD could be the key to a better sleeping pattern.
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is affecting an estimated 1.5 million adults in the UK, however up to 85% are undiagnosed and untreated. If you suffer from OSA, there is a chance that it could be having a negative effect on your training and productivity.
One way in which CBD may have the potential to help is by reducing inflammation in the airways, which can improve breathing during sleep. In addition to this, different types of CBD can provide a relaxing effect which can also promote better sleep overall.
Clearer headspace
Another way in which CBD may affect fitness is by reducing stress levels. Stress can have a negative impact on physical performance by increasing the production of cortisol, a hormone that can lead to muscle breakdown and fatigue. CBD has been shown to have anxiolytic, or anti-anxiety, properties, which may help to reduce stress levels and improve performance.
Wanting to get in shape and improve your fitness starts in the mind. If you can’t accurately collate your thoughts, it’s likely that it will reflect once you start training. There are a plethora of CBD products available which promote calmness and focus, which can be vital in regards to developing an effective exercise regime.
Can CBD help with your diet?
CBD may have benefits for weight management and metabolism. While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, some studies suggest that CBD may help to regulate appetite, reduce food intake, and increase metabolism. This could potentially lead to improved body composition and a higher capacity for physical activity.
It is important to note that the effects of CBD on fitness and physical performance may vary from person to person. Factors such as dosage, frequency of use, and individual biology can all play a role in how CBD affects the body. As with any new supplement or lifestyle change, it is important to talk to a healthcare provider before incorporating CBD into your fitness routine.
Read our four step guide on using CBD for information on how to achieve your ideal dose. This is particularly handy if you’re new to taking CBD - figuring out your ideal dose is imperative.
While research is still ongoing, early signs suggest that CBD could be the key to achieving your ideal physique. CBD's potential anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and sleep-promoting properties, as well as its potential benefits for weight management and metabolism, make it an intriguing supplement for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, or people generally looking to better themselves.
Men's Health - Breaking the Silence
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
Men's Health Week is a globally recognised campaign that aims to raise awareness about the unique health challenges faced by men and encourages them to take proactive steps towards improving their well-being.
This annual event, typically observed in the second week of June, serves as a reminder for men to prioritise their physical, mental, and emotional health. At Vitality CBD, we want to support men in their quests to feel better each and every day. We see Men’s Health Week as an opportunity for anybody struggling to make a decision and attempt to elevate their lives.
Understanding Men's Health
Men's health encompasses a wide range of concerns, including physical fitness, mental health, cardiovascular health, sexual health, and more. Unfortunately, many men tend to overlook or downplay these issues, often neglecting self-care and preventive measures until symptoms become severe. Men's Health Week aims to change this narrative by promoting proactive health strategies and encouraging open conversations about various health concerns.
There is nothing emasculating about self-care, particularly when it comes to mental health. According to the World Health Organisation, 115 people die by suicide in the UK every week, with 75% of those deaths being male. This abhorrent statistic is largely linked to the idea that men aren’t allowed to discuss their mental health through fear of appearing weak. As a result, a lot of men bottle up their emotions until they reach a point where they can no longer take it.
Society has long perpetuated harmful stereotypes and stigmas surrounding men, inhibiting their ability to express vulnerability, seek help, and address their mental and emotional well-being. To create a healthier and more inclusive society, it is essential to dismantle these stigmas and foster a culture of openness and support for men.
By encouraging open conversations, promoting mental health awareness, and challenging traditional gender norms, we can create an environment where men feel empowered to seek help, express their emotions, and live authentically. Together, we can break down the barriers that restrict men and foster a society that embraces their diverse experiences and needs.
The Role of Vitality CBD
Vitality CBD has emerged as a leading brand in the CBD industry, offering a diverse range of high-quality CBD products tailored to address men's specific health needs. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant known for its potential therapeutic benefits. It is non-psychoactive and does not produce the "high" associated with THC, another compound found in cannabis. With this being the case, there is no danger of becoming addicted to CBD products, purely because the addictive substances found in marijuana are not available in CBD-based products.
CBD products from Vitality CBD are formulated to promote balance and well-being, helping men achieve a more balanced lifestyle. These products interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates various physiological processes, including pain perception, mood, and immune function. By supporting the endocannabinoid system, CBD can help enhance overall health.
Physical Fitness and Recovery
Physical fitness is a cornerstone of men's health, and incorporating CBD into fitness routines can provide additional support. Vitality CBD offers CBD topicals, such as creams and balms, that can be applied directly to the skin to provide localised relief from soreness and inflammation. These products can be beneficial before and after workouts, aiding in muscle recovery and reducing exercise-induced discomfort.
Needless to say, exercising can have a positive impact on physical health, but it can also have a significant impact on mental health also. Studies have shown that partaking in physical activity can;
Vitality CBD are proud to provide an Active range aimed at fitness conscious individuals trying to better themselves. With that said, if you are not a fitness fanatic you can still take a look at the range and see which product can add balance to your lifestyle.
Choose Vitality this Men’s Health Week
As we observe Men's Health Week, it is crucial to embrace a holistic approach that addresses men's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Vitality CBD products offer a natural and versatile option for men seeking to prioritise their health. By incorporating CBD into their routine, men can take proactive steps towards achieving optimal wellness and improving their quality of life.
Looking After Number One - Prioritise Mental Health
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
October 10th marks the arrival of World Mental Health Day. It’s a day to raise awareness about mental health issues that affect millions on a daily basis. It’s time to break the stigma and begin difficult conversations. However, awareness is just the beginning, it’s time to act.
In an increasingly fast-paced and interconnected world, the importance of a balanced mental state cannot be overstated. As we observe World Mental Health Day, it's a timely reminder that mental well-being is just as vital as physical health.
The Global Mental Health Crisis
Mental health issues affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, with over 264 million people suffering from it. Anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and other mental health conditions also contribute significantly to the global burden of disease. However, despite these alarming statistics, mental health remains a neglected issue in many parts of the world.
Speak Up, Speak Out
Although a sensitive topic, it’s vital that you speak about your mental wellbeing if you’re exhibiting any signs of deteriorating mental health. Of course, you should contact your local GP to discuss such issues, or in more severe cases Samaritans. But speaking to a colleague, friend or family member can have just as much a positive impact as speaking to trained professionals.
It all begins with a conversation. The first step on the road to improved mental wellbeing can begin with a simple chat. Be honest, be brave and make the decision to open up. Remember, letting somebody know you’re feeling down IS NOT a sign of weakness, but rather the opposite.
The role of Vitality CBD
Established in 2018, Vitality CBD is a trustworthy brand renowned for providing customers with premium CBD products. In addition to this, we’re also huge advocates of protecting and improving mental health. We’re proud to provide a plethora of CBD essentials which are all meticulously designed to improve general wellness.
This includes our Wellbeing, Active and Support ranges. Every little helps, incorporating CBD into your daily routine can have a positive impact on your outlook on the day, and can also result in improved productivity. Whether it’s a successful day at work, or a gym session whereby you can feel improvement, you’re entitled to a day filled with contentment - Vitality CBD can be the perfect ally.
Take Action
World Mental Health Day is not solely about raising awareness; it's also a call to action. Here are some steps we can take as individuals and as a society to prioritise mental health:
Let’s Work Together
As we commemorate World Mental Health Day, let’s stay acutely aware that the kind of practices promoted for today should be observed all year round. Mental health isn’t just seasonal, it affects many each and every day. We can all do our part to create a more tolerant and inclusive society. No matter what race, sex, age or sexual orientation, everybody should be able to feel comfortable in their own skin. We can only achieve this by breaking barriers and improving communication.
Managing Stress: Take a Deep Breath
by Marketing Vitality CBD
on Nov 11 2024
Our stress-fighting journey continues. We’ve already covered what stress is, what it does and how we can fight it in our general Guide to stress. We’ve also discussed the benefits of going out in nature and how to care for our skin when things get stressful. Today, we go back to the very basics and talk about how breathing can help us cope with stress.
As Natural as Breathing
We never had to learn how to breathe – it came naturally to us as soon as we were born. We also instinctively know to hold our breath underwater, and how to breathe more deeply when we sigh. So why are some people giving lessons on how to breathe? Well, there is science behind that.
We’ve talked about how the acute stress response has one main goal: to prioritise a quick mental and physical response. That includes increasing the supply of oxygen to the muscles and brain, and part of that response leads to quick, shallow breathing, also known as hyperventilation. Unfortunately, this type of breathing feeds back into a feeling of anxiety that keep the stress response stuck in the tension phase.
Somewhat intuitively, if we want the opposite effect (calming down), we can employ the opposite type of breathing – deep breathing, also known as abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing has been found to help improve attention, mood and cortisol levels (decrease stress). And this is where “learning to breathe” comes into play.
Muscling In on the Lungs
Breathing is done with the help of two types of muscles: several short muscles stretching between our ribs, and one wide muscle that stretches along the bottom of our chest, called the diaphragm. The diaphragm pulls downwards on an intake of breath, creating room for the lungs to expand and fill with oxygenated air. Once the lungs have exchanged the oxygen for carbon dioxide, the diaphragm relaxes back upwards, helping them expel the air.
Shallow breathing, usually associated with muscle tension and a hunched back from stress, leads the breath from our shoulders instead of the diaphragm. This leaves less room for our lungs to fully expand and fill with oxygenated air – a rather inadequate way to breathe.
In contrast, deep breathing leads the breath from our stomach area – or so it feels like when we actually breathe from our diaphragm. We get a full and efficient gas exchange in our lungs, which in turn leads to our heartbeat rate and blood pressure stabilising, as well as calming down. (And while we’ve got calm on our mind, see if our Calm Support CBD Drops & Spray Oil helps you regain yours.)
Where Do I Start?
Fortunately, learning to breathe deeply is simple. All you need to do is learn the correct movement and then practice it. The upside is that every practice session will have immediate and visible results!
You’ll want to start in a quiet environment, usually lying down so you can relax as many muscles as possible.
Place your palms on your belly and try to lead the breath from your stomach.
Breathe in through your nose, deeply and slowly, letting your abdomen and chest fill up – watch your hands move with your belly.
Breathe out slowly (through your nose or mouth, as you feel more comfortable).
Now you know what deep breathing feels like!
We asked Stephanie Cabrera, breathwork coach and yoga teacher, to give us a few simple exercises we can try today.
A quick calming exercise for the middle of a stressful day (2 minutes): The 4-7-8 Technique
Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of 4.
Hold your breath for a count of 7.
Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 8.
Repeat as needed to feel centred and calm.
An exercise to prepare for the day ahead or to unwind when getting home (5 minutes):
Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling your belly rise as you breathe in.
Exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your belly fall.
Repeat for 3-5 minutes.
An exercise for better sleep: Progressive muscle relaxation combined with deep breathing
Start by tensing and then releasing each muscle group in your body. Start from your toes and work your way up to the top of your head.
As you release tension, breathe deeply and slowly, focusing on each exhale.
This practice can help ease physical and mental tension, promoting restful sleep.
Breathe easy and slowly. In… and out. You’ve got this!
Managing Stress: Skin Care Is Self-Care
by Marketing Vitality CBD
on Nov 11 2024
Welcome back to your stress-fighting quest! We’ve already covered what stress is, what it does and how we can fight it in our general Guide to Stress. We’ve also had a discussion on the benefits of going out in nature and on how to get started with breathwork exercises. Today, we’re talking about the importance of relaxation and skin care in managing stress.
Stress Is Not Just Skin Deep
We’ve talked about how stress hormones prepare us for an immediate physical response to a threat and put most other body functions “on standby”. One such hard-hit area is our skin – and what a big area that is! (Did you know that, because of its sheer surface, the skin is our body’s biggest organ?)
Repeated exposure to stress hormones can have a very visible impact on our skin.
Increased sebum production can lead to clogged pores and acne.
Excess sweating can lead to dehydration and dry skin.
A lowered immune response, often coupled with increased inflammation, can lead to infections, rashes and hives.
For the same reasons, chronic conditions like eczema, rosacea and psoriasis can flare up.
With growth and healing impaired by the stress hormone cortisol, the result can be hair thinning and hair loss.
Cortisol also impacts the normal production of collagen and elastin in the skin, causing it to lose elasticity and accelerating the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
On top of that, having these skin and hair conditions can stress us out in itself, getting us stuck in a vicious cycle. It’s imperative, then, to break this cycle by lowering stress and by taking care of the skin we live in.
Self-Care...
A broad term used in various contexts, the essence of self-care is prioritising our well-being in both body and mind. It means learning to listen to what our bodies and brains need and giving them as much of it as we can. Luckily, everything under the umbrella of “self-care” will protect us from the downpour of stress! This includes:
Rest and relaxation: getting enough good quality sleep and relaxing our minds through mindfulness, meditation, hobbies, creative expression and pampering.
Community: talking with family, friends, neighbours and people we share passions with helps us feel safe and supported. Sometimes, a mental health professional is needed to help us find solutions and better habits that we can’t see by ourselves.
Exercise: any physical activity is good, in whatever form is easiest for us to get moving. From team sports to a quiet gardening session or a walk with a furry companion, we can all find 20 minutes a day to start with. Bonus points if it’s !
A healthy diet: as fresh and simple as we can keep it. Sugary and overly processed foods and drinks are poorer fuel for our bodies and should be relegated to occasional treats.
...and Skin Care
Apart from the above healthy habits, let’s not forget that our skin requires, quite literally, a more hands-on approach. That means cleansing, hydration, protection and touch.
Keep it clean – with a daily cleanse from all dust, pollution and makeup and a weekly deep cleanse of pores. And being mindful of touching our face less than stress invites us to do!
Keep it hydrated – from the inside (drinking plenty of water) and from the outside (with a moisturiser twice daily as part of our routine).
Keep it protected – cover up under the strong midday sun and don’t forget that SPF cream!
Touch is a natural ally to skin. A body massage session will do wonders for blood flow and relaxation (try it with a CBD Muscle Balm for an enhanced effect). But, if a massage is just out of reach, we can still feel the benefits of touch from simply rubbing a cream or balm into our skin as part of our routine – so let’s not rush it!
Where Do I Start?
Doctor’s orders, then – if you already have a skin care routine, keep to it. If not, time to start one! From cleanser, moisturiser and toner to eye serum and anti-blemish cream, we’ve got you covered with our Infused CBD cosmetics range. Find high-quality formulations, with protective argan stem cells and soothing AnnonaSense, enriched with CBD for restoring balance to your skin.
Managing Stress: The Nature Way
by Marketing Vitality CBD
on Nov 11 2024
If you’re here, stress is clearly on your mind. We’ve already covered what stress is, what it does and how we can fight it in our Guide to Stress. We've also talked about the benefits of caring for our skin and of doing breathwork exercises in times of stress. Here are a few reasons why getting out in nature is one of the most efficient ways of managing stress.
Nature Can Improve Physical Well-being
We’ve talked about how stress hormones prepare us for an immediate physical response to a threat and put most other body functions “on standby”. Being out in nature helps lower cortisol levels, blood pressure and even muscle tension. Get a bit of sunshine in and our Vitamin D levels also rise, helping our bones, blood cells and immune system function optimally. The body gets more oxygen. Our eyes strain less once we can focus on more distant points than a screen a few inches away.
If our nature encounter entails increased exercise – from swimming to playing ball outdoors – then we’re naturally completing our stress cycle through physical activity.
Outside Is Better for Mental Health
For thousands of generations, humans have lived and worked outdoors. It’s only natural for that environment to be the one we are best suited for mentally as well.
Exposure to natural light helps us regulate our sleep cycle. This improves all body functions that rely on quality sleep – which is to say, all of them. Levels of depression and anxiety, anger and stress also go down, as nature encourages us to be more mindful of the present moment and our surroundings.
Activities in nature will also, usually, invite us to be part of a community, whether it’s fellow gardeners, nature photography enthusiasts, or people we hike and play football with. Connecting with others is one of the most powerful ways of reducing stress.
The Great Outdoors for Greater Mental Abilities
Our modern workday is often an overwhelming combination of being stuck in an enclosed space and being bombarded with information and noise. Getting out in nature has the opposite effect – vast spaces, pleasant sounds, an opportunity for our brain to set its own thinking pace. This can improve our creativity and problem-solving. Our brain was built for diversity!
If we’re stuck on a problem at work or school, taking a walk in a nearby park can help our mind have a break, reset and re-focus on the task at hand.
Where Do I Start?
If you’re into running or walking, grab your shoes, friend and/or dog and explore your neighbourhood and parks.
If hiking sounds good to you, Mica’s tips are:
Plan your route
Invest in a good pair of walking boots or shoes
Make sure you have snacks and plenty of water
Wear the appropriate clothing dependent on your hike route and local weather
Most importantly, just enjoy it!
If team sports are more your calling, find your local club or look for social media announcements in your neighbourhood. There are always others looking for the same thing. (You can also have a look at our Active CBD Range of Oils and Muscle Rub to get more out of your workout and recover faster.)
If you’re into paddling sports, don’t let lack of gear stop you – there are plenty of clubs and rentals that will provide you with what you need to get on the water. It’s best to start with a group so you can help each other.
Don’t forget that gardening, whether tending to the flowers in your own garden or growing veggies in the community allotment, definitely counts. You won’t get closer to nature than with your hands in the dirt, helping green things grow.
See you out there soon!
Exploring the Relationship Between CBD and Sport
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
With the rise in popularity of CBD usage, it seems an apt time to discuss the relationship between CBD and sports. CBD is being used on a daily basis for a wide variety of reasons. While the benefits of CBD for general well-being is what is mostly explored in the media, we shouldn't discount its prevalence in other areas.
Of course, in this case we are referring to CBD use in sports and fitness. It's now quite common to see products infused with CBD included in the kit of professional and amateur athletes alike. But how common is CBD use in sports, and what are the benefits?
Do People Use CBD for Sport and Fitness?
Yes! Many people choose to use CBD as part of their fitness routine. It’s not uncommon to see fitness CBD products sold in gyms alongside more mainstream supplements. You’ll find CBD oils, CBD balms and CBD edibles as standalone products, or see products like protein or creatine powders infused with CBD hemp extract.
One of the main reasons CBD has seen such a quick uptake across many sports is its versatility. CBD can easily be integrated into many products favoured by sportspeople and gym-goers whether they prefer topicals or ingestibles. These products however, are not suitable for traditional CBD dosing and rather focus on the potentially anti-inflammatory properties that CBD possesses.
That is not to say, however, that products designed for dosing such as CBD oils cannot be tailored for a sporty lifestyle. CBD oils possess the ability to be infused with additional supplements that benefit an active lifestyle. Whether you are a CBD user looking to tailor your products, or a gym-goer looking to try CBD, there are a multitude of options right at your fingertips.
No, according to UK Anti-Doping, CBD is not a prohibited substance in sport. CBD was removed from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of prohibited substances in 2018 and is now permissible in many elite-level sports.
However, athletes and competitors must remain aware that other cannabinoids remain prohibited. THC is still a banned substance and can be found in some CBD products as well as cannabis and hemp. Luckily, most CBD products need to be made from hemp extract containing less than 0.2% THC to be legal in the UK. Though only trace amounts of THC may remain, always check available lab reports before using CBD products.
Reputable CBD brands will be listed on the FSA’s list of approved CBD products. Though this goes some way to guarantee CBD products contain little to no THC, only use CBD products where clear lab reports are available. This way, safe and legal levels of THC can be guaranteed.
Why Do Athletes Use CBD Oil?
CBD oil, and other CBD products for that matter, offer athletes a unique alternative to other health supplements. Many common fitness supplements come with some notable downsides or even side-effects, whereas CBD to date has only shown to have mild side-effects in very high quantities. Studies have shown that CBD is generally well tolerated, making it an easy and low-risk addition to a fitness regime.
Another attractive part of CBD is the fact it is a totally natural compound. CBD is one of hundreds of naturally occurring compounds found in hemp and so offers people a more organic alternative to synthetic fitness supplements. Unlike whey protein for example, CBD is also completely vegan, though this does depend on what product it is found in.
As mentioned before, CBD is also incredibly versatile. You can find CBD products designed for every stage of a workout from pre-workout to recovery, the latter being particularly popular.
Are There Sports CBD Products?
Yes, you can now find many CBD products formulated specifically for sport and exercise. These come in many shapes and sizes including CBD oils, CBD balms and supplements infused with CBD. Below are some of the most common examples that you can easily find on sale in the UK.
CBD Sport Oils
CBD sport oils are simply CBD oils that have been tailored for use in exercise or sport. This is done by including additional supplements alongside CBD as part of the tincture’s carrier oil.
CBD oils can easily be infused with other natural ingredients that can complement the CBD content and focus the oil for a specific purpose. CBD oils built for recovery often include proven ingredients like turmeric or vitamin D3 that can reduce inflammation and improve metabolism for quicker recovery.
CBD oils can also be designed for effective pre-workout use as well. Natural ingredients such as ashwagandha and even popular vitamins can be added to CBD oils to create a product that helps prepare the body for an extended period of exertion.
CBD for Sports Performance
CBD for use in sports is without doubt growing in popularity. CBD being removed from the list of prohibited substances has only reinforced confidence in the naturally occurring hemp compound. Indeed, many professional athletes have endorsed CBD use and even created their own CBD brands.
Last year, Vitality CBD was represented at the Arnold Sports Festival 2022. Established bodybuilders spoke about their CBD usage and how it helps them train and prepare for competitions.
This doesn't mean that CBD is only for elite athletes. With CBD becoming more affordable, CBD infused products are now an interesting option for anybody leading an active lifestyle. CBD can easily be obtained in a variety of formats and might just be the next must-have for gym bags across the world.

Introduction to CBD
The number of people using CBD is growing at a massive rate. It’s in the news almost every day, and there are now 2 million daily UK users, but where do you start? If you’re on the lookout for a simple step-by-step process to talk you through the world of CBD, then look no further. Key facts first! CBD has a good safety profile with very low toxicology reports—all research conducted so far supports this. Whatever your reason for taking CBD, our extensive batch testing means you'll feel secure taking CBD.
Our 4-steps for CBD
At Vitality CBD we understand that everyone has different levels of expertise and knowledge about CBD. That’s why we’ve put the whole process into an easy-to-understand 4 stage program, going from learning about CBD all the way through to buying your first CBD oil: Step 1: What is CBD? Step 2: How do I take CBD? Step 3: What's my CBD dosage? Step 4: How do I buy CBD? Completely new to CBD? Then just start at step one and follow the journey through to the very end. Feel like you know enough about what CBD is, but want to know the right method to take it? Then hop on at step two. That way you can take in the information whichever way you feel is best.
Talk to us about CBD
If you have any questions throughout, you can head over to our CBD contact page to send us an email, or just pop up on our webchat at any point. Our CBD experts are available there 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. Just click the icon in the bottom right corner of any page! Right then. Let’s get started!
Step 1: What is CBD?
What is CBD? It’s a question that people across the world have been asking more and more year-on-year. You may have heard it being described as a cannabinoid and cannabidiol, and confusingly those are both correct. Thankfully Vitality CBD are here to outline the basics and do some jargon busting before you buy CBD. The first and most important thing you need to know is that CBD is short for cannabidiol, a compound found in the cannabis plant. It’s one of over one hundred different cannabinoids that have been identified so far, so-named because they were first discovered in cannabis. Cannabinoids have since been discovered in many other biological systems including our own, but we’ll get to that later.
Where CBD comes from
To understand what cannabinoids are, and why they matter, we first need to discuss CBD’s relationship with cannabis. Cannabis is actually the term for a whole family of plants, which are usually split into two distinct categories: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica . These terms are in turn used as overarching titles for different strains. Traditionally sativa refers to the tall European plants, and indica to the bushier, shrub-like Indian varieties. For our purposes there are two terms that have far more practical use:
Hemp refers to strains of cannabis grown for industrial use. These applications include biofuel, rope, paper and CBD.
Marijuana refers to plants grown for recreational use i.e. getting high. This is why marijuana is often used to refer to cannabis as a drug.
We already know that there are lots of different cannabinoids you can find in the cannabis family, but there are two key ones that help distinguish between hemp and marijuana. The first, and most famous, is THC. This is the compound that induces most of the effects typically associated with smoking cannabis, and is found in high amounts in marijuana. The second most prevalent cannabinoid is CBD. Research has continuously shown that CBD will not get you high, and is provenly safe for human use. CBD is typically found in high percentages in hemp, while there will be very little THC. All of our CBD products, from our CBD oils to our CBD topicals contain 0% THC.
The human body and cannabidiol
What’s most significant is that CBD is very similar to chemicals your body already produces. These endocannabinoids (a cannabinoid the body produces internally) are part of a network of chemicals and receptors known as the endocannabinoid system. The ECS acts as the body’s assistant manager, with receptors throughout most of the major organs, the nervous system, and the immune system. Essentially it ensures that the body is operating in a state of balance, known as homeostasis. . This involves checking that everything is working between key parameters, such as temperature, metabolism and pressure. When we introduce CBD into the body, the ECS is its means of interacting with us. In fact, because it’s so similar to other chemicals, CBD is able to integrate quite easily. That’s why we’re so confident in CBD as a natural compound that you can safely introduce to your body.
Step 2: How do I take CBD?
There goes step one! You’ve either learned what CBD is, or skipped ahead (don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you cheated), and now you’re wondering: what next? It’s all well and good knowing what CBD is, but now you need to figure out how to take it.CBD ingestion methods have a big impact on how it interacts with your body. That’s why we’ve broken this section down into even smaller steps. First off, we’ll discuss bioavailability and why it matters, before walking through your CBD options.
CBD and bioavailability
Have you ever considered why hospitals will generally administer drugs straight into your bloodstream? It’s due to something known as bioavailability. Essentially, the bioavailability of any given chemical compound is the percentage of it that the body effectively uses. The higher the bioavailability, the more efficiently the compound has been utilised. The main factor that affects bioavailability is how quick the compound’s path to the circulatory system is, hence why IV drips are typically the most effective method. So, lets look into how intake affects bioavailability!
CBD Oral Sprays & CBD Oral Drops
One of the most popular and widely recognised methods of using CBD are CBD oils. This covers our CBD Oral Drops and our CBD Oral Spray, both of which are used to apply a CBD oil underneath your tongue. CBD oils are just hemp extract blended with a carrier oil. The reason for applying the CBD oil beneath the tongue (known as using it sublingually) is, you guessed it, bioavailability. Rather than swallowing your CBD oils and sending it through the digestive system, let it soak into the blood vessels beneath the tongue for around 90 seconds. That way it gets into circulation much faster.
The CBD will generally take around thirty minutes to be absorbed properly, and take six hours to leave the bloodstream. This makes CBD oils a great way to dose if you only want to use CBD intermittently. You can take half your recommended dosage in the morning, and the other half in the evening. When comparing oral CBD options it’s worth considering the carrier oil. The MCT (coconut) oil in our CBD Oral Spray helps mask the taste of the hemp for those who don’t like its earthy tones, while the hemp seed oil in our CBD Oral Drops works great with CBD to provide a full-bodied hemp experience. For more on our oral oils, read our CBD oils guide.
CBD E-liquids
CBD vaping has one of the highest bioavailabilities. By turning your CBD e-liquid into vapour you make it more easily absorbed. Since you’re inhaling it into your lungs, the CBD vape juice has a simple, fast route to your circulatory system. If you want to use a CBD e-liquid, but aren’t familiar with vaping, first thing’s first: you’ll need a vape device. Our Broad Spectrum CBD E-liquid is best used in a easily found mouth-to-lung device, either by itself or as an additive. However, you cannot mix a CBD vape juice with nicotine due to the way nicotine and CBD act as catalysts for one another.
Due to the higher bioavailability when vaping CBD, it only takes 5 minutes to be absorbed, and 4 hours to leave the bloodstream. This is due to the speed with which the body is able to process the compound when vaped. That means vaping is for users who enjoy the process of taking CBD and want to dose semi-frequently throughout the day. For more on our CBD vape oils, read our CBD e-liquid guide.
CBD Topicals
It’s important to note that in some instances bioavailability isn’t the be-all and end-all, largely due to the prevalence of the endocannabinoid system throughout the body. A great example of this would be when looking at CBD topicals, such as moisturising creams and balms. When applying a cream to your skin the bioavailability is greatly reduced since the compounds must first make their way through the epidermal layer. That means the amount of CBD that actually reaches your circulatory system is very low. However, if you’re looking for a localised external release then the CBD topical will still reach the endocannabinoid receptors in the skin.
That means that CBD topicals definitely have a place in your CBD routine. Our CBD Skin Cream and CBD Muscle Balm both contain a carefully curated blend of essential oils and skincare ingredients designed to support the hemp extract. The key is to be savvy and explore your options thoroughly. Since the bioavailability of CBD topicals is low, it’s a slower release means of consuming CBD. CBD effects will take around an hour to be asborbed and last for about five hours. Regardless of duration, if you’re looking for an external application then CBD topicals are the obvious way to go. For more on our CBD cosmetics, read our CBD topicals guide.
CBD Edibles
One of the most common forms of CBD is CBD edibles. This is where you’ll find CBD Gummy Bears, CBD coffee and even CBD protein bars, alongside more traditional ingestion methods such as CBD tablets and lozenges. While research has shown that ingesting CBD through your stomach reduces its bioavailability, it does make tracking your dosage through the day much easier, and is generally the quickest and most hassle-free way of taking CBD.
CBD edibles and supplements are a great way of, well, supplementing your daily CBD intake. It means that you can just carry a tub of CBD Gummy Bears wherever you go, and dose more discreetly in public. That makes them perfect for being on the go. With CBD edibles it’ll usually take at least an hour to be asorbed, and roughly six hours to be processed. However, since the CBD first passes through the digestive system this can fluctuate depending on metabolism.
Step 3: What's my CBD dosage?
You know what CBD is, and you’ve managed to decide on a means of taking it. All settled right? Well you actually still have to choose the strength of your CBD oils or CBD e-liquids, one of the most important factors. That's why we've extensively polled our users to give you the best CBD experience.
Find your CBD dosage
We've surveyed our users extensively, and we've found that our most satisfied users are generally using 70mg a day. That's why we recommend that first-time users begin with a 1200mg oil, such as our CBD Oral Spray. By starting at a higher dose, you can easily figure out how CBD works best for you.
After a week of using 70mg a day, you have two options: if you're satisfied, try decreasing by 20mg a day, and if you're dissatisfied, increase by 20mg a day. By using your CBD consistently, and experimenting with your dosage, you're at least 76% more likely to have a satisfying CBD experience. Some of our users also find that using multiple products simultaneously best serves their needs. It’s perfectly safe to use our CBD Oral Drops and CBD Muscle Balm at the same time for example, or indeed any combination of CBD oils, so long as you keep your dose relatively consistent. Finding the right method is part and parcel of your journey. These CBD combinations are so popular in the Vitality CBD office that we’ve actually written an article on two of our favourite product combos. Take a look at our CBD product guide, and see if you can find two products that suit you.
Is CBD safe?
It also bears repeating that CBD has been shown to be demonstrably safe, even at very high dosages. Case studies have been conducted where use upwards of 600mg a day.
Step 4: How do I buy CBD?
Rejoice! You now know everything you need to know about CBD, including what it is, how to take it, and where to start with your dosage—all that’s left now is to buy CBD! Our core recommendation is to look for companies that prioritise testing and quality control. The CBD market is very new, which also means it’s poorly regulated. That’s why we send all of our product batches to a third-party independent lab in order to ensure they meet the quality we expect. In fact, our central belief in user transparency is why we’ve made all of our CBD lab reports available online. That means you can match the exact report to the bottle in your hand.If you feel like you’re still confused on anything CBD, reach out to us on our CBD contact page, or give us a message on our web chat (9am-5pm Monday-Friday).

They also make a brilliant gift idea for people you know who take CBD. However, CBD gummies are more than just a gimmick, they are indeed a fantastic way to either introduce yourself to CBD or continue taking it.

Five Reasons Why CBD Gummies Are The Perfect Top-Up Option
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
For those who enjoy the benefits of regular CBD usage, it can occasionally prove challenging trying to achieve your ideal daily dose.
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a natural compound derived from the cannabis plant. It is one of over a hundred cannabinoids identified in cannabis, but unlike its well-known counterpart, cannot get you high. In recent years CBD usage has increased exponentially, so much so it is now being used in foods, e-liquids and other commonly used products.
CBD is traditionally taken orally via a pipette or spray nozzle, though there are other possible methods such as vaping. Once spraying or dripping the required amount of CBD underneath the tongue, you must then wait for it to be absorbed. Although this typically is a quick process, everyone is different, so it may take a while longer to fully absorb the liquid.
With that being said, CBD gummies are easily eaten and can release up to 25mg of CBD into the body in a short space of time. Here are five reasons why CBD gummies are the perfect top-up options when trying to reach your desired daily dosage.
Precise Dosing
CBD gummies offer a convenient way to control and monitor your CBD intake accurately. Each gummy typically contains a pre-measured amount of CBD, usually ranging from 5mg to 25mg. This standardised dosing allows you to know exactly how much CBD you are consuming with each gummy, making it easier to regulate your overall CBD intake.
Vitality CBD’s Gummy Bears are packed with 5mg of CBD per gummy and each tub comes with 40 gummy bears inside. Our recommended daily dose of CBD is 70mg, so CBD gummies represent a fantastic option when trying to achieve the ideal daily dose.
Discreet and Portable
CBD gummies are discreet and easily portable, making them an excellent option for on-the-go CBD supplementation. Their small size and inconspicuous appearance make them ideal for consuming in public settings without drawing unnecessary attention. You can conveniently carry them in your purse, pocket, or travel bag, allowing you to top up your CBD intake wherever you are.
Long-Lasting Effects
When compared to other forms of CBD consumption, such as vaping or smoking, CBD gummies provide a longer-lasting effect. Once consumed, the CBD in gummies is released gradually as the gummy is digested, resulting in a slow and steady release of the compound into your system. This sustained release ensures a more extended period of CBD benefits, making gummies an ideal choice for those seeking a consistent CBD experience throughout the day.
No Special Equipment or Preparation Needed
Unlike CBD oils or tinctures that require precise measuring or vaporizers that need charging and maintenance, CBD gummies can be enjoyed without any additional equipment or preparation. They are ready to consume straight out of the package, eliminating the need for complex instructions or time-consuming processes. CBD gummies are a hassle-free option that allows you to top up your CBD intake effortlessly.
Wide Range of Flavours and Varieties
CBD gummies come in a wide array of flavours and varieties, catering to different taste preferences. Whether you enjoy fruity flavours, tangy options, or even sour treats, there is a CBD gummy available to suit your palate. This variety ensures that you can find gummies that are not only beneficial but also enjoyable to consume, making your CBD experience even more pleasant. Eating CBD gummies is the best of two worlds; enjoying a delicious snack whilst enhancing your overall wellness.
With so many positive factors involved when it comes to using CBD gummies, we’d encourage you all to discover the benefits for yourselves. At Vitality CBD, we specialise in high quality CBD products made from the purest natural ingredients. We’re proud to provide our customers with delicious raspberry and orange flavoured gummies.
Adding a natural balance to your lifestyle should be a priority. Our CBD products are naturally sourced from hemp and contain no artificial preservatives. You can rest assured that you will be receiving a high-quality product suitable for all lifestyles.
Does CBD Expire? Tips for Storing CBD Oil and More
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
As with most natural products, CBD will eventually expire and lose its potency. Happily though, CBD extract has quite a long shelf life, measured in years. Nevertheless, CBD products’ expiry date can hinge on a number of factors, not all related to CBD.
This means that while CBD itself may have a long shelf life, CBD products may have a shorter expiration date. To be sure your product is safe to consume, always check the packaging. You will find an expiration date on the back or bottom of the box.
Below are some of the common factors that affect CBD products’ expiration date:
Other Ingredients
CBD oils, balms, gummies and cosmetics all contain other ingredients besides CBD, each with their own shelf lives. Often you will find that a CBD product has a shorter shelf life due to the presence of another ingredient. For example, if a CBD oil uses natural flavours, these may expire in a shorter time than the CBD oil it is flavouring.
Quality CBD
Quality CBD means more than just getting an efficacious product, it also means it will last longer. There are a few things that can affect the quality of CBD extract, including how the hemp was sourced and how it was processed. Poor quality CBD extract will likely expire far quicker than good CBD from a reputable brand.
Packaging and Storage
CBD oils are best kept in dark bottles, such as the deep green, brown or amber that you’ll commonly see. These don't just look nice, they also help protect their contents from direct sunlight, which can prematurely age CBD oil or cause discolouration. Airtight containers also prevent CBD oil being exposed to oxygen, which can cause the CBD within to expire faster.
My CBD Oil Changed Colour, is That a Problem?
Sometimes you may notice that your CBD oil has changed colour or gone a little cloudy. This can be a cause for concern, but in most cases you need not worry. It is not uncommon for CBD oils to change colour to shades of pink or brown; if your CBD oil has shifted to these colours, it is still safe to consume.
CBD changing colour is caused by a simple reaction to heat and light. In fact, your CBD oil turning pink for example, is a sign that it contains good quality CBD. If your CBD extract is rich in a nutrient called polyphenol oxidase and is exposed to sunlight, the polyphenol oxidase could turn a shade of rosy pink.
CBD oils out-of-the-bottle can have quite a variety of colours; this is caused by different carrier oils or even different types of CBD extract. Most CBD oils will arrive in gold, clear or brown colours. But, as mentioned, don’t be alarmed if they shift colour over time.
How Do I Know My CBD Oil Has Gone Bad?
It’s quite easy to tell when your CBD oil has expired. One of the first things you will probably notice is a foul taste. Good CBD oils, unless artificially flavoured, will have a distinct earthy flavour and slightly bitter but palatable taste, making it quite easy to tell when it has expired.
The same goes for odour: both CBD drops and sprays will always have a distinctly earthy smell and should not be unpleasant in any way. If your CBD oil smells ‘off’ or rancid, then that’s a sign it is past its expiration date.
How to Store CBD Oils
On average people use their CBD oils in around 30 days with regular use, which means they have to be kept correctly in the meantime. Luckily, they require very little care; just make sure you keep your CBD oil out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (around 16-25°C).
If CBD oil has been stored for a while, remember to shake it well before use. This ensures that the consistency of the oil is correct and the natural CBD extract contained within is evenly distributed, meaning there are no issues getting your intended dosage.
How to Store CBD E-liquids
CBD e-liquids are one of the most efficient ways of hitting your recommended daily CBD intake, and thankfully there is no special storage required. In fact, you can store them in much the same way as our CBD oils: out of direct sunlight and at room temperature. There is no need to refrigerate and, if they are kept out of a cupboard, make sure they remain in their protective packaging.
Sometimes e-liquids may become slightly discoloured, but this is not usually anything to worry about. The colour change can come from oxygen reacting with ingredients in the e-liquid. Some e-liquids can keep for up to 2 years, but if you are concerned by the appearance of your e-liquid, it's always good to just check your packaging for the expiry date.
How to Store CBD Gummy Bears
CBD gummy bears are just as easy to store as ordinary gummy bears. Our CBD gummies can easily slip into a cupboard or bedside table, perfect for using in the morning before you get on with your day, or into your handbag or gym bag for a quick top-up. However, be very careful not to leave them near any heat sources, such as a radiator, as they could melt!
How to Store CBD Cream and Topicals
The variety of CBD topicals is broad, so it's hard to say if there is a storage trick that applies to all of them. It’s more important to note that CBD cosmetics do not require any more specialised storage than similar products that do not contain CBD.
When it comes to CBD topicals, once again it's best to stick to the golden rules: store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. However, with our Infused range and other cosmetics, make sure you check the label for any storage instructions. The CBD in each product does not require any special storage, but there may be other active ingredients that prefer certain conditions.
Storing Your CBD
Keeping CBD is not a challenge in the slightest; CBD products require no more specialist care than other products in the same category. This is the case across many of our product ranges, meaning no matter how you want to start taking CBD, there should be no unexpected storage issues!
Hemp oil and CBD oil: What’s the difference?
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
CBD oil and hemp oil are phrases often used interchangeably. There are even times people refer to them as ‘CBD hemp oil’. However, these two oils are significantly different, as this article will explain. Read on to learn more about the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil.
What is hemp oil?
Hemp oil or, more accurately, hemp seed oil is distinguished by the fact that it contains next to no cannabinoids such as CBD or THC. Instead, hemp seed oil is very much what it says on the tin: an oily residue extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant.
This extraction is much simpler than the process for CBD oil, and just involves cold-pressing the seeds, before filtering the sediment from the resultant liquid. Hemp seeds have a high percentage of oil (around 35% on average) whilst the remaining solid byproduct is useful for protein supplements and animal feed. The filtered oil is a deep green in colour, whereas CBD oil is a golden brown.
Hemp oil benefits
Hemp seed oil has been sold in health retailers for many years because of the number of unsaturated fats they contain, such as Omega 3 and Omega 6. However, since they only contain trace amounts of cannabinoids, they are used for wholly different reasons than CBD oils.
What is CBD oil?
CBD is extracted from the flowers of the hemp plant, specifically the tiny, hair-like trichomes which contain all the essential compounds. CBD itself isn't oily, and is combined with a carrier oil to create the finished product.
Whereas hemp seed oil is simply extracted from seeds, the process for CBD oil differs and can yield different kinds of CBD. Whole plant products contain the full array of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, waxes and oils found in the hemp plant, while CBD isolate is literally CBD isolated by itself. We have a full guide on the different kinds of CBD; check it out to find out which may be best for you.
The distinction can be further muddied by the fact that CBD oil is blended with a carrier oil rather than the finished product being oily in itself, and one of these carriers is actually hemp seed oil. That means you might end up with a product that is technically both CBD oil and hemp seed oil. However, the products have wholly different purposes.
What is hemp oil used for?
People take hemp seed oil primarily for its nutritional value. It’s rich in the two essential fatty acids mentioned above, but it also contains a high level of protein, vitamin E, and several other minerals.
So, what is hemp oil good for? People mainly use organic hemp oil as a diet supplement, but you can get hemp cosmetics and toiletries; you can even get hemp oil for hair. Remember, hemp oil won’t get you high because it contains no psychotropic THC.
What is CBD used for?
CBD oil interacts with our body differently than hemp seed oil. Our body actually produces its own cannabinoids that are like CBD internally, in a network known as the endocannabinoid system. This means that CBD can be safely integrated into the human body via products such as CBD oil, CBD e liquids and CBD cosmetics.
Hemp vs. Marijuana
CBD oil and hemp seed oil are both extracted from hemp, which is part of why they’re often equated with one another. In fact, industrial hemp is used throughout much of the world in creating paper, textiles, and rope, which begs the question: isn’t cannabis illegal?
The answer, confusingly, is both yes and no. Cannabis itself is the name for the entire genus, and is split further into two main categories - Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, which make up the two overarching species.
The more useful terms for understanding legality are hemp and marijuana. Rather than species, these are broad designations that refer to the use and purpose of the plant. The major difference comes down to THC (the cannabinoid that gets you high) and CBD (the cannabinoid that we extract for CBD oil).
Hemp is a subset of Cannabis sativa, and has been bred to have low THC and high CBD. As mentioned previously, it’s primarily used for industrial purposes and biofuels, though its low THC content makes it perfect for both CBD oil and hemp seed oil.
Marijuana, on the other hand, refers to any plants grown for recreational purposes, and can either be a sativa or an indica. It generally has high THC and low CBD, due to its primary purpose being its psychoactive effects.
Accordingly, hemp being legal is typically to do with its low THC content, whilst the inverse is true of marijuana. By recognising this key difference between the two, you can understand better why CBD oils and hemp seed oils aren’t being seized from the shelves. You can learn more about growing hemp in our handy guide.
Hemp oil and CBD
The key takeaway from this is that CBD and hemp oil are not the same thing. Hemp seed oil is used similarly to other vitamin rich oils, such as Argan oil. CBD oil contains CBD and is used as a tincture taken sublingually in order to introduce CBD to the body. Both serve specific purposes but are completely different products.

Why choose Topical CBD Products?
When you buy CBD, don't just limit yourself to CBD e-liquids and CBD oils—many people also choose to take CBD through topical application. CBD offers a unique and fresh new way to tackle skincare.
First and foremost, our CBD Skin Cream is made using Pure CBD while our CBD Muscle Balm uses broad spectrum CBD. The key fact here is that all of our products contain 0% THC, allowing you to feel confident with however you choose to take CBD.
If you’ve not read Vitality CBD’s introductory guide to CBD, we recommend that as a starting point, but if you want to learn more about how our CBD Skin Cream and CBD Muscle Balm work, we’re here to help.
Localised CBD skincare
The main factor that differentiates between each method of CBD consumption is bioavailability. Essentially, a compound’s bioavailability is the amount of it that can be absorbed into your circulatory system, and the rate at which this happens.
The more direct a path to the bloodstream, the higher the bioavailability, hence the use of IV drips in hospitals. As discussed in our guide on CBD e-liquids, vaping CBD has the highest bioavailability in our product range, due to the number of blood vessels found in the lungs.
By contrast, topically applied CBD will likely never reach the bloodstream, acting instead as targeted support for a specific portion of your skin.
How to apply CBD
Both our CBD Skin Cream and CBD Muscle Balm have a similar method of application: simply massaging them into the affected area for the desired hydrating effect. This then leads to a subtle onset of CBD, taking around 60 minutes, and lasting up to 6 hours.Similarly, our pampering CBD Infused cosmetics range can be used as frequently as necessary without any adverse side effects from CBD overuse. If you'd like to learn more about our CBD cosmetics collection, view our complete guide here.
CBD Skin Cream or CBD Muscle Balm?
So, now you understand what separates our topical CBD products from the rest of the Vitality CBD range, it’s time to decide whether the CBD Skin Cream or the CBD Muscle Balm is a better fit. Fortunately, given their different points of focus, this distinction is a little simpler than between our Oral Drops & Oral Spray.
CBD Skin Cream
As the name suggests, our CBD Skin Cream is designed with everyday skin care in mind. Not only does it contain 300mg of CBD, it also contains a unique blend of moisturising ingredients to ensure the cream works on two fronts.
These ingredients include sweet almond oil, beeswax, ginseng root extract, and chamomile flower extract, all bound together by a natural Green Tea and Lemon fragrance. Throughout our product range we generally foreground CBD and the hemp plant, but our CBD Skin Cream is concerned with a wider balance.
This balance manifests in the potent moisturising effects of each individual ingredient. By drawing these disparate but powerful properties together, alongside CBD’s impact, the potency of our Skin Cream’s essential care is amplified.
CBD Muscle Balm
Where our CBD Skin Cream is focused on moisturising and supporting the ongoing care of your skin, Vitality CBD’s CBD Muscle Balm is designed for post-workout relaxation.
Like our CBD Skin Cream, our CBD Muscle Balm contains a cannabinoid rich broad spectrum extract with 300mg of CBD to engage the body’s endocannabinoid system, simultaneously targeting receptors in your skin and muscles.
Vitality CBD’s specially curated CBD Muscle Balm is comprised of an extensively vetted series of ingredients, harnessing an array of organic extracts to further the natural properties of the hemp plant.
For example, the organic coconut oil we use is well known for its conductivity with CBD, and gives our balm its smooth and easy to applicate qualities. This is further enhanced by the blend of other organic oils, including argan, rosehip, geranium, eucalyptus and lavender.
Argan oil, particularly, is well known for its unsaturated fatty acids, as well as containing more antioxidants per ml than olive oil. The oils in our CBD Muscle Balm act together to achieve a greater cosmetic effect than the sum of their parts.
Learn more about CBD
Our current product range is a reflection of years of research and development, all guided by Vitality CBD’s central belief in the natural synergy of the hemp plant. That's why everything in our CBD collection has been tested thoroughly.
We also have category pages that cover each of our product ranges, including CBD e-liquids, CBD oils and CBD cosmetics, or if you just want to get a better overview on cannabidiol, see our beginner’s guide to CBD.

What’s the Best CBD Oil to Buy?
by Nick Samra
on Nov 11 2024
Finding the best CBD oil for you can be difficult at the best of times, and as CBD becomes more popular, it’s not getting easier. That’s why we wanted to guide you through CBD oils, so you can find the best CBD oil for you.
Best Quality CBD Oil
So what makes the best CBD oil? There are some key things you can do to ensure you get high-quality CBD oil. While CBD regulation is improving thanks to more stringent measures built to make CBD safer for customers, we’ve put together some useful pointers.
Buy CBD Oil From a Reputable Retailer
The first and perhaps simplest way to assure you are getting the best CBD oil is to buy from a trusted retailer. National pharmacies such as Boots and LloydsPharmacy are an excellent source of the best quality CBD oil, plus they offer on-site advice. Supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury’s also offer reputable CBD brands and are easily accessible.
You can also always order straight from a brand’s website. This lets you pick from a full range of CBD products and may offer other benefits. Just make sure you are confident their products are safe, by checking if they have lab reports available and clearly display their ingredients - more on this below.
Check Your CBD has a Clear Ingredients List
This may be obvious, but it’s a quick way of investigating CBD oil. Check the product you are buying clearly lists the ingredients. This will help you avoid allergens and is a step towards getting safe CBD.
Check Your Product has a Lab Report Available to View
The best CBD oils in the UK will allow their users to view the lab or ‘batch’ report for the CBD contained within. Top CBD brands will always have their CBD lab tested by a third party before they use it in any of their products. This ensures that the batch does not contain anything above a trace amount of THC, while also checking for other unwanted substances.
Quality CBD oils and other products will have a batch number on their packaging, which you can then enter on the manufacturer’s website. This will allow you to download the lab report for your product, so you can make sure you are getting exactly what you paid for.
Don’t buy from Brands that Make Medical Claims
The best CBD oils will adhere strictly to MHRA regulations, which means they will never make medical claims about CBD. Because of the regulation under which retailers sell CBD, brands cannot make medical claims specifically around the CBD content in their products. Don’t buy from brands who make medical claims; who knows what other regulations they aren’t following!
What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of over one hundred different cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Cannabinoids are responsible for many of the recognised properties of hemp, and are currently being studied across the scientific community.
One of the most famous is THC, which causes the high and negative side-effects linked with cannabis use. That’s why all Vitality CBD products come with a guarantee of 0.0% THC, and are harvested from hemp (a version of the cannabis plant bred to be low in THC and high in CBD). Unlike THC, CBD isn’t psychotropic and carries none of the associated risks, meaning it’s safe to buy CBD.
What are CBD Oils?
CBD oils are, simply put, cannabidiol mixed with a carrier oil (sometimes the names do make sense!). CBD oils are easy to take on the go since they’re portable, they’re quick to dose, and they enable you to take CBD quickly whenever necessary.
Better than that, the carrier oil also enables manufacturers to blend in flavours to make every dose a delicious one. Find the best CBD oil for you below:

Over the course of learning about CBD oils (here's a good introduction to CBD), it becomes more and more clear that there’s not just cannabidiol in your CBD e-liquid or tincture. Whether it’s full spectrum products with extra terpenes and flavonoids, or even just some additional flavouring, CBD products are never as simple as just CBD.
But there’s one aspect of your CBD oil you might not have considered—the oil itself. Though it’s easy to assume the oily tincture is just a resinous byproduct of harvesting CBD, in fact it’s an added carrier designed to facilitate CBD consumption, important when considering buying CBD.
Why do we need CBD carrier oils?
Following the extraction process, the resultant product will fall somewhere between pure CBD and a broad spectrum extract. The former is a white, powdered substance, whilst the latter is a mix of darker green and brown tones, indicative of its utilisation of more compounds from the hemp plant.
In both instances, this resultant product still needs to be diluted by a carrier oil for three reasons.
Ease of dosage: In the process of extraction, the concentration of CBD becomes very high. Since being able to alter dosage between people is so important, by diluting the extract it’s much easier to measure your daily dose.
Bioavailability: CBD is best absorbed after binding with fat molecules that your body finds it easier to break down. Carrier oils increase the bioavailability of the hemp compounds i.e. the amount your body can process.
Ease of intake: Put simply, ingesting purified CBD powder isn’t the most pleasant experience. By using a carrier oil and adding flavourings, the whole process becomes much more pleasant.
Which CBD carrier oil is best?
Knowing why we need carrier oils is half the battle when choosing the best CBD, but figuring out which one is best can be tricky. We’ve taken a wide angle view of all the CBD carriers on the market currently, and broken down their qualities and drawbacks.
Coconut oil
One of two so-called MCT (medium chain triglycerides—you can see why it’s abbreviated) oils on this list, coconut oil is our top pick of the carrier oils available on the market.
When preparing coconut oil for use with CBD, it goes through a process called fractionating, whereby the larger fat molecules are removed, leaving just the MCTs. The reason MCT oils are so popular is because MCTs are more easily absorbed than their long chain triglyceride cousins, like the ones found in olive oil.
Coconut oil has several other benefits, including its ability to mask the strong earthy flavour of full extract CBD, and its thin consistency, which makes it easier to proportion and dose. Though other oils have their own unique benefits, coconut oil is a strong, reliable choice.
Our belief in MCT is why we use coconut oil in our CBD Oral Spray.
Hemp seed oil
Hemp seed oil is often seen as synonymous with CBD oils but that’s actually a common mistake. In fact, hemp seed oil contains no CBD, though it is comprised of other key compounds from the hemp plant.
Olive oil
If you have any friends from the Mediterranean, you’ve probably heard scores about the health benefits of olive oil. Use it in your cooking, splash it on your salad, guzzle it by the quart—it’s supposedly all good.
However, since olive oil contains a high number of large monounsaturated fats, the body takes more time to process it than with MCT. Even though olive oil has been noted for its antioxidants, its viscous quality can make it difficult to dose, and its slower absorption rate makes it less efficient for using with CBD, though it’s still a solid and often used option.
Palm oil
Much like coconut oil, palm oil can be fractionated to form MCT oil, and though it functions in practically the same way, there are wider problems at play. At Vitality CBD our main concern is maintaining natural synergy, and the production of palm oil works directly counter to that.
The core issue is deforestation. In order to keep up with the high demand of palm oil, acres of rainforest are being cut down each day, contributing to the loss of animal habitat for vulnerable species. It also further exacerbates climate change since the mechanical process both releases masses of CO2, and limits the valuable role palm trees play in processing the harmful build up of greenhouse gases.

The Importance of Taking CBD Regularly and Consistently
by Greg Gorzkowski
on May 20 2025
CBD, or cannabidiol, has quickly become a staple in many people’s wellness routines. From supporting mental well-being to assisting with physical recovery, its versatility is one of its most appealing attributes. But for those new to CBD or even for seasoned users, one question remains vital: how important is it to take CBD regularly and consistently?
The short answer is: very. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore why consistent use of CBD is essential, how it interacts with the body over time, and what benefits can be maximized by maintaining a regular regimen.
Chapter 1: Understanding CBD and the Endocannabinoid System
To appreciate the importance of consistency, one must first understand how CBD works.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
The human body has an intricate network called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis—a balanced internal environment. The ECS comprises receptors (CB1 and CB2), endocannabinoids (produced naturally by the body), and enzymes that break them down.
CBD indirectly influences the ECS by interacting with receptors and helping regulate the release and breakdown of endocannabinoids. Unlike THC, CBD does not bind directly to these receptors but helps modulate the system for overall balance.
CBD's Role in Homeostasis
CBD's modulation of the ECS can affect various functions, including mood, sleep, immune response, pain sensation, and appetite. These functions are not isolated; they fluctuate daily based on stress, diet, exercise, and more. Regular CBD use ensures the ECS is continuously supported, helping the body adapt more efficiently to internal and external changes.
Chapter 2: The Science of Consistency
Building Up CBD in the System
CBD is lipophilic, meaning it is fat-soluble. When taken regularly, it accumulates in fat cells and is slowly released into the bloodstream. This build-up creates a baseline level of CBD in your system, enhancing its effectiveness over time.
Much like other wellness supplements or medications, CBD may take time to show noticeable results. Consistency helps maintain stable levels in the body, improving bioavailability and the overall efficacy of the compound.
Half-Life and Metabolism
CBD’s half-life (the time it takes for half of a substance to be eliminated from the body) varies based on consumption method, dosage, and individual metabolism. For instance:
Inhalation: 1-2 hours
Oral ingestion (capsules or edibles): 6-8 hours
Sublingual (tinctures): 4-6 hours
This means that skipping doses can lead to dips in CBD levels, potentially reducing its benefits.
Chapter 3: Benefits of Regular CBD Use
1. Consistent Mood Support
CBD may help regulate serotonin receptors, which influence mood and emotional well-being. Regular use can create a stable mood baseline, making it easier to cope with daily stress and anxiety.
2. Sleep Quality
CBD is known to influence the sleep-wake cycle. Taking it at the same time daily helps train your body for better sleep hygiene, leading to improved rest and recovery.
3. Pain and Inflammation Management
Chronic pain and inflammation require ongoing support. Consistent CBD intake helps manage symptoms by continuously modulating the inflammatory response and interacting with pain receptors.
4. Neurological Benefits
Emerging research suggests that CBD may protect neurons and support brain health. Regular dosing may enhance cognitive function and potentially protect against neurodegenerative conditions.
5. Immune System Regulation
CBD's interaction with CB2 receptors, primarily found in immune cells, may help maintain immune balance. Consistency ensures ongoing immune modulation, which can be beneficial, particularly during flu seasons or periods of high stress.
Chapter 4: Finding Your Routine
Dosage Consistency
There is no one-size-fits-all CBD dosage. Factors such as body weight, individual tolerance, and desired outcomes affect the optimal amount. However, once you find your ideal dose, maintaining it consistently is key to reaping long-term benefits.
Timing Matters
Taking CBD at the same time each day can help your body anticipate and respond to its effects. For example:
Morning doses may help with focus and calmness during the day.
Evening doses may support better sleep and relaxation.
Methods of Consumption
Choose a delivery method that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle:
Tinctures: Fast absorption, good for flexible dosing.
Capsules: Convenient and consistent.
Topicals: Best for localized pain and skin conditions.
Edibles: Longer-lasting effects, but slower onset.
Chapter 5: Overcoming Challenges to Consistency
Forgetfulness
Use smartphone alarms, calendar reminders, or habit-tracking apps to build a daily habit.
Taste or Texture Aversion
Try flavored tinctures, capsules, or edibles if you find the natural taste of CBD oil unpleasant.
Cost Concerns
Buying in bulk, subscribing for regular deliveries, or using loyalty programs can reduce the cost over time. Remember, investing in wellness is a long-term commitment.
Unclear Results
It’s common not to feel immediate results. Consider tracking your symptoms, mood, or sleep quality in a journal to observe gradual changes.
Chapter 6: Real-Life Success Stories
Anecdotal evidence from CBD users highlights how consistency transforms their wellness:
"I started taking CBD for anxiety and almost gave up after a week. But after sticking with it for a month, I noticed I wasn’t getting overwhelmed at work anymore."
"As someone with arthritis, taking CBD every evening has been a game-changer. Skipping even one day brings the aches back."
These stories reflect a common theme: consistency breeds results.
Chapter 7: Long-Term Considerations
Tolerance and Sensitivity
Some users report building a tolerance over time, while others find they become more sensitive to CBD's effects. Monitoring your response helps fine-tune your routine.
Integrating with Other Wellness Practices
CBD works best as part of a holistic wellness plan including:
Proper nutrition
Regular exercise
Stress management
Quality sleep hygiene
Consistency in multiple areas compounds the benefits.
Medical Guidance
Always consult a healthcare professional, especially if you're using CBD alongside medications or for chronic conditions.
Conclusion
CBD is not a magic bullet, but when taken regularly and consistently, it can be a powerful tool for promoting balance and well-being. Like any wellness supplement, the key lies in daily commitment.
Whether your goal is to sleep better, manage stress, reduce pain, or support your immune system, making CBD part of your routine can help you unlock its full potential.
Start small, be patient, and stay consistent—your body and mind will thank you.
