Are CBD capsules any good?

The efficacy of CBD capsules and CBD pills varies from one product to the next, depending on the quality. Here are a few factors to keep in mind:

• The type of hemp extract used: When shopping for CBD products, it’s important to understand the difference between the three types of hemp extract: CBD isolate, broad-spectrum CBD, and full-spectrum CBD. Isolate is made with pure CBD and no other plant compounds, while broad-spectrum extracts contain a few additional plant parts but are still THC-free. Full-spectrum CBD extracts encompass a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other hemp plant parts, including trace levels of THC. Each of these extracts has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is merely up to your preference.
• Lab test results: Any time you’re looking into CBD products, it’s important to verify that the products have been independently tested for their purity, quality, and safety. Look for products that give you access to third-party lab results, also known as a Certificate of Analysis, or COA.
• Extraction method: Various CBD brands extract oil from the cannabis plant differently. Lipid-based extraction, alcohol extraction, and CO2 extraction are common processes. There are advantages to each type of extraction process, but transparency is most important.  
• Hemp sourcing: It’s generally safest to look for a hemp supplement sourced in the U.S., as crops grown in foreign countries lack direct oversight that domestic farming processes have, which leads to less transparent sourcing info.
