Here's what you need to know...

How to Get Started with CBD

With so many ways to use CBD, which one should you try first?

The best way to get started with CBD is by shopping our ready-made CBD Kits or Discovery sized products. Our discovery products are small in size, small in price but big on benefits, they give you a taste of what to expect from your CBD ritual. Here’s the CBD products all beginners need to try...

Discovery CBD Kit: The ultimate CBD oil products for beginners, our CBD Discovery Kit pairs our Bright Days CBD Oil Drops and Night-Time CBD Oil Drops together - both in a handy 10ml trial size.

CBD Starter Kit: Another great option for beginners is our CBD Starter Kit which pairs our Bright Days CBD Oil Drops and juicy CBD Gummies together for a delicious introduction to CBD.

How Do You Take CBD Oil?

The best way to take CBD oil is to apply it sublingually, which means you squeeze it directly underneath your tongue. Hold it there for around 90 seconds before swallowing, giving time for the CBD oil to absorb as much as possible. Sublingual application allows the CBD to pass through the mucous membrane underneath your tongue, where the CBD can fast-track its way into your bloodstream.

Whilst CBD oils are the most popular way to take CBD supplements, CBD gummies and CBD capsules are a great alternative for easy, pre-measured dosage.

What Does CBD Stand For?

CBD is Short for ‘Cannabidiol’ - but, let’s be honest, CBD is quicker to say. CBD is just one of over 100 naturally occuring compounds called cannabinoids found in the plant, but it's fast becoming the most popular feature of this powerful leafy green.

Is CBD Legal?

Yes, CBD is legal in the UK. Without THC, it is not a drug, but rather a natural food supplement you can take as a CBD oilCBD capsuleCBD gummyCBD cream or balm form. Our products are THC-free, which makes them suitable for use in professional sports and other industries that may have this requirement.

In fact, Cannaray CBD is part of the European Specialist Sport Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA), which means each product we blend is suitable for athletes.
