CBD Gummies vs. CBD Oil: What's the Difference?

CBD Gummies vs. CBD Oil: What's the Difference?

Here at The Kokoro Way our team are busy formulating products to help ease a wide variety of ailments for our customers. Among the most popular formulas are our Vegan CBD gummies and our CBD oil tinctures. Though both deliver CBD, they offer different experiences. Let’s dive into the key differences between these two forms to help you decide which one suits your needs best.

1. Convenience and Ease of Use

• Vegan CBD Gummies: Gummies are incredibly convenient. They come pre-dosed, making it easy to know exactly how much CBD you’re consuming. They are portable, discreet, and can be eaten anywhere without drawing attention. Plus, their taste is a major plus point for many users. We formulate our Vegan CBD Gummies with all natural flavors. 
• CBD Oil: CBD oil tinctures come with a glass dropper, allowing you to measure the exact dose you want. This flexibility is great for those who want to customize their dosage. However, using the dropper can be a bit less convenient, especially on the go, and administering it sublingually (under the tongue) might be less discreet.

2. Absorption and Onset Time

• Vegan CBD Gummies: When you consume a gummy, it has to pass through your digestive system and be metabolized by your liver before the CBD enters your bloodstream. This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, but the effects are often longer-lasting due to the slower release of CBD.
• CBD Oil: Taking CBD oil sublingually allows it to be absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the blood vessels under your tongue. This results in a faster onset of effects, typically within 15 to 45 minutes. This method is ideal for those seeking quick relief.

3. Dosage Control

• Vegan CBD Gummies: Each gummy contains a fixed amount of CBD, which makes it easy to know your exact dosage. However, this also means less flexibility if you need to adjust your dose. You’d have to consume more or fewer gummies, which might not be practical.
• CBD Oil: With a dropper, you can easily adjust your dosage to find what works best for you. This is particularly useful for new users who are still determining their ideal amount of CBD. 

4. Taste and Sensory Experience

• Vegan CBD Gummies: Gummies are flavored and taste like regular candy, making them a pleasant option for those who are sensitive to the natural taste of hemp.
• CBD Oil: Most CBD oil tinctures in the market have an earthy taste which some might find it off-putting. Our CBD oil tinctures are carefully extracted and formulated with all natural flavors to avoid this.  TIP: Check out our wide range of delicious tincture flavors! 

5. Ingredients and Additives

• Vegan CBD Gummies: Gummies often contain additional ingredients such as sugars, flavorings, and sometimes artificial additives. While these enhance taste, they may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with dietary restrictions or preferences.
• CBD Oil: Generally, CBD oil has fewer ingredients, often just the CBD extract and a carrier oil like MCT oil. This makes it a purer option for those who want to avoid extra additives.

6. Portability and Discretion

• Vegan CBD Gummies: Gummies are highly portable and can be consumed discreetly, making them an excellent choice for use in public settings.
• CBD Oil: Although portable, using a dropper in public is less discreet and can be slightly awkward. It also requires careful handling to avoid spills.

Both Vegan CBD gummies and CBD oil offer unique advantages, and the best choice depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle. Vegan CBD gummies are perfect for those who value convenience, taste, and discretion. In contrast, CBD oil offers more flexibility in dosage and quicker absorption, making it ideal for those who need rapid relief.

If you’re new to CBD, consider starting with a lower dose and gradually build up until you find the relief you need.

Whether you opt for gummies or oil, incorporating CBD into your routine could be a step towards enhanced wellness.
