    What is CBD?

    CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of over a hundred cannabinoids found in plants of the Cannabis Sativa family. The World Health Organization describes it as "generally well tolerated with a good safety profile".

    CBD facts

    How does CBD work?

    CBD works by blocking enzymes that are responsible for breaking down the useful molecule anandamide. Anandamide is a human cannabinoid that naturally occurs in your body. It acts as a chemical signal to help your body's systems maintain a healthy balance. When CBD is present, your anandamide levels build up and your body can quickly respond to any problems it faces.

    How do I use CBD capsules?

    how to use CBD capsules

    To keep your capsules at their best and most effective, always follow the label guidance and use them before the expiration date.

    Keep them sealed in the bottle or box they came in, away from any heat sources and kept out of direct sunlight. When you're ready, take them out of the packet and use immediately; most types will need a small amount of liquid to help you swallow them.

    We recommend taking CBD capsules alongside food containing some fat for the best results. You may also want to try taking your capsules at different times to see which works best for you.

    How many capsules should I take?

    How many capsules to take

    6.4mg and 10mg capsules are well-suited for beginners. If you've not tried CBD before, it's worth taking some time to work out what daily serving provides the results you're looking for. Start with one 6.4mg capsule three times per day or one 10mg capsule twice a day. After a week, you can increase by one extra capsule per day.

    Most brands pack their capsules in multiples of 30 and we usually stock packs of 30 or 60. If you plan on taking two per day, a 60-pack is ideal and will last you about a month.

    Note: Don’t be tempted to take a larger serving because it wasn’t as expected on day 1. CBD takes time to build up in your system. This is why we recommend taking the same amount each day for the first week. Also, CBD is biphasic which means taking larger amounts has a different and sometimes the opposite effect.

    Are there any side effects?

    Many people regularly take CBD capsules without any problems, but some experience side effects. Those that have been noted in scientific studies include dry mouth, gastrointestinal problems, and changes in appetite and weight.

    I’m taking medication. Can I still use CBD?

    CBD can interact with some commonly prescribed drugs. This could change how medication behaves in your body and might produce unexpected results. Before taking CBD, check with your pharmacist or Doctor to ensure it is safe to do so.

    Do CBD capsules contain allergens?

    In rare cases, cannabis products like CBD can cause allergic reactions, but it's not considered an allergen. Most CBD capsules won't contain allergens like peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs and milk, but different manufacturers use different recipes, so it's essential that you check the ingredients. 

    What are the health benefits of CBD?

    You may have seen claims that CBD can improve sleep quality or reduce anxiety and pain. At for the Ageless, you won't find unproven statements. We sell CBD capsules as food supplements only. They're not medicines and aren't intended to offer any specific health benefits.

    General precautions

    The UK Food Standards Agency recommends that:

    • CBD should not be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women.
    • CBD should not be taken if you're already using any medication.
    • Healthy adults do not take more than 70mg each day.
