What Are CBD Gummies?
CBD gummies are a kind of CBD product that infuses edible chewy candy with hemp extract. Cannabidiol CBD gummies come in various flavors, colors, and formats. This can make them a popular choice among users as there are many options, and their form makes them convenient to take on the go.
What Can You Use CBD Gummies For?
If you’ve heard people rave about CBD gummies before, then you’ve probably heard a list of things people are saying CBD helps them with: sleep, pain, stress — the list goes on. Sometimes it makes it seem like CBD gummies are a miracle product.
But we want to stress that while there is a slew of positive personal anecdotes and some research supporting the use of CBD for several conditions, CBD is not FDA-approved to treat any condition and should not be seen as a replacement for any treatment plan or advice from a healthcare professional you currently have in place.
CBD gummies are often preferred to other CBD forms because of their long-lasting effects (https://neurogan.com/blogs/
Sleep Support
Sleep is often considered the foundation of our health. If we don’t get enough sleep, other aspects of our health often start to go haywire. Many users report that they use CBD gummies to help them achieve better-quality sleep.
Research also supports CBD’s role in achieving higher-quality sleep and supporting particular sleep conditions. However, no CBD product is FDA-approved to treat any sleep disorders [1 (https://link.springer.com/
How does CBD do this?
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates several important physiological systems for sleep. One way CBD may promote sleep is by modulating the activity within the ECS and increasing the production of endocannabinoids, which help maintain internal stability. CBD might also influence sleep by increasing adenosine levels in the brain, as adenosine promotes sleep and reduces wakefulness, helping the body relax and recuperate.
Pain
The use of medical cannabis for treating pain has been of interest to the medical community for some time now. While many CBD gummies don’t exactly fall under the medical cannabis umbrella, many users report using CBD products to support their pain relief (https://neurogan.com/blogs/
One condition that has been studied quite a bit for the effects CBD may have on it is fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by its symptoms of chronic pain, fatigue (https://neurogan.com/blogs/
That being said, no CBD gummy is intended to manage pain. But that still hasn’t stopped people from sharing their positive personal experiences with CBD-infused gummies for pain.
Muscles
Supplement use has been a part of fitness lovers’ routines for a long time, so it should come as no surprise that CBD products are pretty popular for those who exercise. Users praise CBD gummies for their support with sore muscles, enough so that
even professional athletes endorse some CBD products.
In a study, the CBD group reported significantly fewer sore muscles than the non-CBD groups [

]. This research shows the interaction between CBD and vanilloid pain perception, which are known to modulate pain perception and inflammation, plays a significant role in how the muscles feel in response to CBD [3].
