Trying to choose just one favourite CBD product isn't always easy. Each of the different formats has its own big pros, whether you’re considering CBD gummies, CBD capsules, or CBD oils. The good news is, our supplements can be mixed and matched if you want to try them all – but if you’re looking to try only one product for now, we can help you out there too.


So, what’s the difference between CBD oils, CBD gummies, and CBD capsules?

Comparing CBD Products

1. How You Take Them

CBD Gummies

Enjoying CBD gummies is as simple as taking one or two from the jar and chewing them. It’s quick, straightforward, and enjoyable—just like eating a sweet treat, but with the added benefit of CBD goodness.

CBD Capsules

CBD capsules can be taken with water, much like any other daily supplement. There's no measuring or unpleasant taste to deal with, making them an easy option for many.

CBD Oils

Bright Days CBD Oil and Night-Time CBD Oil Drops can be taken sublingually. Simply squeeze your desired amount of CBD oil under your tongue, allow it to absorb for 90 seconds, and then swallow the remainder.

 

2. The Strength of CBD 

CBD Oils

Our CBD oil drops are our highest-strength essentials. The Bright Days CBD Oil Drops (30ml) contain 1500mg of CBD, while the Night-Time CBD Oil Drops contain 1800mg. One dropper of Bright Days CBD Oil equals 50mg of CBD, and Night-Time offers 60mg.

CBD Gummies

The Bright Days CBD gummies contain 10mg of CBD per gummy in the 300mg jar and 30mg of CBD per gummy in the 900mg jar, making them a great choice for those seeking lower-strength options.

CBD Capsules

Capsules provide a consistent dose, typically ranging from 10mg to 25mg per capsule. They are ideal for users who prefer a precise amount each time.

 

3. What They Taste Like

CBD Gummies

If you enjoy sweet, citrusy flavours, the Bright Days CBD Gummies (juicy orange) will delight your taste buds. They’re as delicious as they sound!

CBD Oils

For those who prefer a burst of flavour, the Bright Days CBD Oil Drops come in refreshing juniper and lime, while the Night-Time CBD Oil Drops offer a peppermint flavour, perfect for freshening your breath before bed.

CBD Capsules

Capsules are flavourless, making them an excellent option for those who want to avoid tasting their CBD altogether.

 

4. What CBD Product Takes Longer to Work

CBD Gummies

Digestion time: 15-60 minutes It may take a little bit longer to digest CBD gummies, but they’re super quick, easy and fun to take. Just chew three gummies per day for a 30mg serving that tastes like the sweetest oranges.

CBD Oils

Digestion time: 5-20 minutes Of all Cannaray’s CBD products, our CBD oil drops are the fastest-absorbing, as long as you squeeze the oil underneath your tongue (not on top). Hold it there for 90 seconds to absorb the CBD into your bloodstream, then swallow whatever is left. 

CBD Capsules

Digestion time: 15-60 minutes
  CBD Capsules are your go-to for a flavour-free option, which has the same digestion time and serving size (two per day for 20mg) as CBD gummies. Our brand ambassador, Claudia Winkleman, says they’re her favourite because “they’re clean and they feel like excellent value. They seem to last forever, and I always know where I am with them.”

How Do I Choose Between CBD Gummies, CBD Capsules, and CBD Oils?

Choose the CBD Oil Drops if…

  • You want a higher strength of CBD in each dropper.
  • The aromatic flavours of juniper and lime (Bright Days) or peppermint (Night-Time) appeal to you.
  • You prefer CBD which absorbs quickly into your body.

Choose the CBD Gummies if…

  • You want a quick and easy option—chewing a gummy is as simple as it gets!
  • You’re looking for a lower level of CBD, either as a beginner or just for daily maintenance.
  • Juicy orange flavours sound irresistible to you.

Choose the CBD Capsules if…

  • You want a tasteless, easy-to-swallow option that resembles taking a regular supplement.
  • You prefer a consistent and precise dose each time.
  • You want a more traditional, no-fuss CBD experience.

What's the Best Way to Take CBD?

Choosing the best way to take CBD really depends on your lifestyle and preferences. CBD gummies are a fun and tasty option! They feel like a treat and come with pre-measured doses, making it easy to track your intake.

If you prefer something straightforward, CBD capsules are perfect. Just pop one with a glass of water, and you’re good to go! They’re simple, flavour-free, and incredibly convenient.

For those who enjoy flexibility, CBD oils are a fantastic choice. You can control your dosage with a few drops under your tongue for quick absorption or mix it into your favourite drinks or meals.

Whatever you choose, you’re making a great choice for your wellness journey!
