New to CBD Gummies?
Different cannabinoids and formulas can produce very different experiences, so here are a few resources to help you decide what works best for you.
How Much CBD Should I Take?
There is no universal CBD dose, and more isn't always better. In our experience, most customers take between 50 and 300 mg per day, with many clustering around 100 mg.
Our dosing guide explains how CBD has been studied, what we've learned from real-world use, and a simple approach for finding a meaningful dose for you.

Gummies or Tinctures?
Both deliver cannabinoids orally, but there are three major differences.
- Gummies are more like food. Tinctures usually contain little more than cannabinoids and a carrier oil. Gummies can incorporate real fruit, herbs, mushrooms, honey, and other ingredients into the formula. The gummies we carry are selected with those ingredients in mind.
- Dosing is simple. There's no measuring or dropper math. Each gummy contains a known amount of cannabinoids, so adjusting your serving can be as simple as counting one, two, or three.
- Our gummies are unusually potent. Every gummy we currently carry contains 100 mg of cannabinoids per piece—substantially more than the 20–40 mg commonly advertised in many CBD gummies. That higher potency and simple dosing may be part of the reason they've become customer favorites.
The main thing to consider is which one you're actually most likely to use. The best tincture or gummy in the world does you no good sitting on the shelf. Pick the one that best fits your routine.

What Do All These Cannabinoids Do?
CBG — Often chosen by customers for daytime use and commonly found in formulas intended for focus, discomfort, or gut support.
CBC — An especially uplifting cannabinoid commonly included in daytime formulas and used for mood support.
CBN — A relaxing cannabinoid most commonly found in evening and nighttime formulas.
Different gummies combine these cannabinoids in different ratios to create formulas intended for different times of day and different preferences.

Why Do Gummies Take Longer to Work?
Gummies have to travel through the digestive system before their cannabinoids are absorbed, so they generally aren't an immediate experience. Food intake, metabolism, serving size, and the individual can all affect how quickly you notice them.
We always recommend taking CBD gummies with food, like any other vitamin, to improve absorption.

What Does THC-Free Actually Mean?
“THC-free” isn't as straightforward as it sounds. Laboratory tests aren't infinitely precise, and even THC-free CBD products can carry some risk when drug testing is a concern.
All products carried by Herbal Edge are independently tested, with additional confirmatory testing performed at a lab of our choosing so you can better understand what you're getting.
