Lately, you’ve probably heard a lot about CBD products. Over the past few months, they've exploded in popularity to the point where they can be found almost everywhere, and are being used in everything from coffee to lotions to face masks. But do you actually know what CBD is? And with all the choices available, do you know how to separate the best CBD products from the rest?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is just one of over 100 different cannabinoid compounds found in cannabis plants. Historically, the most famous cannabinoid was THC – the one responsible for getting people high. However, in recent years, as the movement to legalize cannabis gained steam, it was discovered that CBD provides many of the positive benefits of THC, but without the psychoactive effects, making it more practical for everyday use.

Though there hasn't been enough clinical research to make any definitive medical claims, many healthcare professionals are convinced CBD is effective for fighting chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sleeplessness, among other aliments. CBD has also been shown to be effective in treating epilepsy, especially in children.

Today, thanks to recently passed legislation, CBD legalization is growing. However, it is not yet regulated by the FDA. As a result, some companies are making a lot of unfounded claims about what CBD can do, and are putting out some pretty questionable products. This makes it difficult for consumers to find a brand they can trust. But that's not to say trustworthy brands don’t exist.

Mellowment: The Best CBD Products And Supplements

If you're considering taking the plunge and trying CBD for yourself, one brand to check out is Mellowment. Their supplements are designed to "promote comfort by reducing pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sleeplessness," allowing you to be your best self. And while that may sound new-agey, don’t let the lingo fool you. Mellowment claims to produce the most advanced, meticulously-engineered CBD supplements on the market. And Mellowment’s relationship with the most sought-after and specialized suppliers in the cannabidiol industry allows the company to continually develop innovative products, both for general comfort and more specific needs.

So if you're interested in trying the best CBD products for yourself, here's a complete rundown of all Mellowment has to offer:

Mellowment Low Impact

CBD has been observed to reduce stress and anxiety, and thus may be useful in treating generalized anxiety and social anxiety disorder, and possibly even post-traumatic stress disorder. Mellowment Low Impact is a full-spectrum hemp oil supplement designed to help users relieve nervous energy. It contains 10mg of CBD per capsule, derived from high-grade industrial hemp with 0.00% THC. Its small doses are intended to provide relief from stress without the side-effect of fatigue. However, you can take up to four capsules per day as needed.

Mellowment High Impact 1.0

High Impact 1.0 is Mellowment’s original full strength, full-spectrum supplement. Each softgel capsule contains 25mg of full-spectrum CBD emulsified in 100% vegan coconut oil. Its formula is designed to reduce pain and inflammation, and "has been shown to help some people who suffer from chronic back pain and arthritis." Like all Mellowment products, High Impact 1.0 contains 0.00% THC, which means it won’t make you high or fail a drug test.

Mellowment High Impact PCR

Mellowment has created some of the best CBD products on the market. But in particular, High Impact PCR is the company's most advanced general purpose CBD supplement. It uses emulsified PCR, or phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil, which has a higher surface area than ordinary CBD oil. That means it gets absorbed into the blood stream faster so you experience its effects sooner. Each softgel capsule contains 25mg of high-grade CBD oil. Some High Impact PCR users say they prefer this product to Mellowment Low Impact for treatment of anxiety. However, the more potent formula can cause drowsiness in some.

Mellowment High Impact PCR for Inflammation

Mellowment.com

This supplement is just like the Mellowment High Impact PCR, but with the addition of curcumin. Curcumin is a chemical compound found in turmeric that has been shown to decrease swelling, and has proved successful in treating conditions involving inflammation. Each softgel capsule contains 25mb of emulsified PCR CBD and 10mg of curcumin, with 0.00% THC.
