Cannabidiol Candies: The Tasty Truth About CBD Gummies
- ,
- , CBD Gummies
In 1922, a German entrepreneur by the name of Hans Riegel introduced the world to the first gummy candy in the iconic shape of bears. Across the ocean and seven decades later, in 1998, two Oregonian natural food advocates with presumably fussy children mixed fruit crystals with the herb echinacea, creating the first gummy vitamin. These delicious, nutritious sweets quickly gained popularity among parents of picky eaters and now encompass everything from multivitamins for kids to supplements for seniors.
It is hard to say whether Hans ever imagined how popular his Gummi Bears would prove to be or the many iterations they would see over the next century. But a man living in the 1920s could have never dreamed his confections would eventually become a popular method of cannabidiol consumption.
CBD gummies are gaining prevalence among those looking for an easy to swallow way to take their daily dose of cannabidiol, but how are these therapeutic treats made?
HOW ARE CBD GUMMIES MADE?
Similar to their non-medicinal counterparts, CBD gummies are fun to consume and come in a They also contain many of the same ingredients as regular gummies, such as gelatin, pectin, and carnauba leaf wax. These ingredients give gummy candies their gumminess and are also commonly found in other sticky, sugary foods like jams and jellies.
What sets CBD gummies apart from the bags of colorful bears hanging near gas station checkouts is the inclusion of either full- or broad-spectrum hemp extract. Iconic Remedies uses extract sourced from organically grown Colorado hemp along with sugar and flavoring to create a sweet, squishy treat that delivers all the advantages of cannabidiol in five fabulous flavors: blue raspberry, cherry, grape, orange cream, and green apple.
WHAT BENEFITS DO CBD GUMMIES HAVE?
While many people choose CBD gummies over other methods of consumption for their delicious taste, they offer many additional benefits, some of which may come as a surprise. Apart from the medicinal benefits of cannabidiol, taking it in gummy form has unique advantages that make it appealing to many CBD consumers.
MEDICINAL BENEFITS
Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana plants. It has been used throughout history as a panacea for everything from nausea to insomnia, with a mounting body of clinical research to back up the surplus of anecdotal evidence.
CBD may improve a host of physical and mental ailment by interacting with the endocannabinoid (EC) system, a network of receptors found throughout the human body. This system helps to regulate a multitude of biological processes, allowing a variety of conditions to respond well to treatment with cannabinoids, such as:
Anxiety: Studies in both humans and animals demonstrate CBD has the potential to alleviate anxiety and stress. Treatment with cannabidiol was effective at reducing both behavioral symptoms of anxiety, such as fidgeting and physiological measures of stress, like heart rate. These results appear to be caused by the effects of CBD on serotonin receptors.
Depression: Similar to anxiety, the ability of cannabidiol to influence serotonin receptors may ease symptoms of clinical depression. Research shows that CBD causes antidepressant-like effects within the brain, which may help to improve mood and regulate emotions.
Epilepsy: The most widely accepted use of cannabidiol is in the treatment of epilepsy, although how it reduces seizures remains unclear. Enough evidence for using cannabidiol to treat epilepsy exists that the FDA has approved an anti-epileptic medication containing CBD called Epidiolex.
Inflammation: CBD may help mitigate the pain of chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis by regulating the immune system and suppressing the production of the compounds that cause inflammation.
Movement Disorders: Studies show CBD has the potential to improve movement disorders like Parkinson’s and Huntington’s. Cannabidiol has antioxidant and neuroprotective properties that may not only treat but prevent these debilitating diseases.
Neuropathic Pain: Fibromyalgia and similar conditions cause debilitating pain that is often difficult to treat. Research shows CBD might offer a way to relieve these types of diseases by regulating the areas of the brain that perceive pain.
There are too many benefits of taking cannabidiol to list them all here, even for people without chronic medical conditions, as balancing the EC system can contribute to maintaining a state of overall wellbeing.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Alongside their miraculous medicinal benefits, CBD gummies are delicious and offer a way to take that daily dose of cannabidiol that feels more like a treat than a chore. And much like gummy vitamins, CBD gummies provide an easy way for parents to get children who may need cannabidiol to take it.
CBD gummies are also very convenient, with no need for messy measuring to get an exact dose. They can be taken at home or on the go for long-lasting relief and relaxation. Plus, the non-discrepant appearance of CBD gummies makes for discreet dosing whenever and wherever needed.
ARE CBD GUMMIES SAFE?
Because CBD gummies absorb through the digestive system, they not only offer longer-lasting effects than other methods of consumption but also come with fewer side effects. Although cannabidiol does not have many side effects, in any form, certain means of using it, like smoking or vaping, can be detrimental to respiratory health.
The known side effects of cannabidiol include dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, and other minor discomforts. These side effects usually resolve on their own within a few days of beginning to take CBD or changing dose.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
CBD gummies may be especially tempting to kids, and Iconic Remedies recommends taking extra caution to ensure they remain out of the reach of children. While it is vital to keep all cannabis and hemp products in a secure location, it is necessary to note that gummies are far more appealing to children than capsules, tinctures, and other products that do NOT resemble candy.
WHICH CBD GUMMIES ARE BEST?
Iconic Remedies CBD gummies are available in both full- and broad-spectrum, but which one is better? Well, that depends on the person taking them.
The only difference between the two is THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis that causes the high associated with marijuana use. Full-spectrum gummies contain trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3%), and broad-spectrum gummies are THC-free.
Both options contain over a hundred cannabinoids, along with terpenes and other beneficial compounds that work in tandem to provide the maximum amount of relief possible.
BROAD-SPECTRUM VS. FULL-SPECTRUM
Broad-spectrum CBD gummies are the best choice for anyone who may need to undergo drug testing, as even trace amounts of THC can trigger a positive result. They are also preferential for those pre-dispositioned to psychosis, as THC has the potential to aggravate psychotic symptoms in some individuals, particularly children and young adults.
If taking THC is not a concern, then full-spectrum gummies are the perfect way to experience the entourage effect – all the goodness of hemp working together to heighten and prolong the therapeutic effects. Want to learn more? Click here.
