It’s no secret that CBD gummies are popular these days. But how did that happen? Did consumers of CBD oil suddenly decide to switch to CBD gummies, or are CBD gummies just becoming more popular with people new to CBD in general? Let’s take a look at CBD gummies and what makes them such a popular option for CBD consumers today.
CBD Gummies Top the List
According to a survey conducted by Forbes Health of 2,000 adults in the United States in April 2022, 60 percent had tried CBD products. Of those who had tried CBD, gummies was the number one option with 58 percent of respondents reporting that they use CBD gummies, compared to 55 percent who answered with CBD oils or CBD capsules.1
Why CBD Gummies?
There could be a lot of reasons why a person might choose CBD gummies over other forms of ingestible CBD products, like CBD oil. Here’s just a few reasons:
- More discreet
- Taste better
- More enjoyable
- Exact dosage
- Less mess
Why CBD Gummies are More Popular Than CBD Oil
This is a matter of personal preference, for the most part. Some people are put off by the taste or texture of oils. Holding a dropper full of oil under your tongue in order to have it absorbed in such a way that its bioavailability if high can be inconvenient. The tastes of some oils are altered by flavoring that may or may not be natural. Oils can be messy. When it comes to oils, dosages can be slightly imprecise.2
Gummies can be a terrific introduction to CBD or a treat for the already initiated. They are generally good-tasting and deliver a precise dose. Gummies are convenient and discreet; they generally look no different from gummy candies that everyone is familiar with. And despite their general frivolity, they’re a serious source for the CBD that you want to add to your health regimine.
