Maybe a friend introduced you to CBD. Or perhaps you’ve seen our brand ambassador, Claudia Winkleman, leading the CBD Revolution on TV. Whatever the case, you’ve heard about the compound, and now you want to know more – namely, how and where to buy CBD from a reputable, trust-worthy company.
That’s where these tips come in. Not all CBD products are made the same, which is why it’s important to make sure you’re getting the highest quality blends on the market. What you want is products that are easy to use, safe and pure, and enjoyable to take. So, consider this your shopping checklist; a beginner’s guide that makes buying CBD simpler than ever.
What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural and safe dietary supplement that has become super popular in recent years. And for good reason! It comes from hemp plants and has been swiftly celebrated for its association with the positive qualities of hemp. What sets CBD apart is its ability to offer wellness benefits without any of the unwanted effects commonly linked to other cannabis compounds. It doesn’t produce intoxicating or psychoactive effects, which makes it a fantastic choice for those looking to enhance their well-being in a gentle and effective way.
Many people are embracing CBD as a holistic alternative to traditional supplements, enjoying its versatility and the positive impact it can have on everyday life. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, relief, or just a boost to your wellness routine, CBD offers incredible benefits and support.
Your Guide to Buying CBD Products (What to Look For)
Look for THC-Free Products
First up, let’s talk tetrahydrocannabinol (aka THC. Both CBD and THC are compounds of the hemp plant, but – unlike CBD – THC can have intoxicating effects. To be legally compliant in the UK, CBD products must contain less than 0.2% THC. That’s why we recommend opting for THC-free products that give you that extra confidence.
Cannaray goes the extra mile to ensure all of our products are THC-free. That’s why we create our blends with CBD isolate; a pure, potent plant extract that’s tested in an independent, accredited lab for its THC content. You’ll find it in each of our products, from our CBD oils to our CBD capsules.
Look Out For Reputable Brands
Stick to CBD brands that make their CBD oils and other products in partnership with doctors and scientists to ensure you’re getting a high-quality, expert-approved product. Cannaray is proud of the fact that the Scientific Advisory Board oversees the CBD products we create, giving their input at every stage, from plant extraction to pipette.
Ensure It’s Athlete-Approved
Sports lovers, take note: THC-free CBD is suitable to be taken by athletes. In fact, the European Specialist Sport Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA) advocates our CBD for use in sports. By shopping for blends with this seal of approval, you know that a) your blends are 100% legal, and b) approved for use across proffesional sports.
Consider the Strength of Your CBD Product
Pick out a CBD product that makes it easy to measure out the right dosage. Of course, this will be much simpler with CBD gummies and CBD capsules. However, for CBD oil, you’ll find instructions on the packaging to help you reach your perfect level. If you get stuck or are unsure about dosages, you can also read our guide to CBD dosage for extra tips and tricks.
Consider Flavoured CBD Oils
Not all CBD oils taste good. In fact, without a little flavouring, CBD oil can be hempy, earthy and bitter. So, how do you avoid the ‘ick’? Look for fresh-tasting CBD oils that make your daily dosage a joy, rather than something you tolerate. Our best-selling CBD Oil Drops come in two flavours: citrusy Bright Days CBD Oil and pepperminty Night Time CBD Oil. Delicious.
Mix and Match Your Methods
There are so many ways to take CBD; with a CBD capsule, a CBD gummy, an CBD oil or a CBD balm. Seek out brands that let you mix and match your methods, so you always have options to suit your mood. Because we’re dedicated to making CBD simple, we’ve created a range of quick-to-take products, so you can trial a few to find the format that suits you. Here are your picks…
Types of CBD You Can Take
The CBD Oil Drops
Enjoy round-the-clock care with our Bright Days and Night Time blends. If you’re new to CBD oil, you can try both tinctures (in miniature sizes) in the CBD Oil Drops Discovery Kit or both full sized products are included in our Day to Night CBD Kit. Squeeze your CBD oil underneath your tongue, hold it there for 90 seconds, then swallow what’s left. This is the perfect method for fast-acting effects.
The CBD Capsules
Ideal if you’re looking for a daily vitamin that supports immunity; the Bright Days CBD Capsules harness vitamin D3, vitamin C and zinc to support your defence. Swallow two per day with water to begin with, then adjust your dosage when you feel ready.

Self-care just got fun. The juicy CBD Gummies are a deskside must-have, teaming premium CBD with the sweetest zesty orange flavour – plus they're vegan too. Chew up to three per day of the 300mg jar or 2 per day of the 900mg jar for your daily dose.
