CBD, or cannabidiol, has taken the wellness world by storm, and there are now more ways to take it than ever. Choosing the right product can be overwhelming, with gummies, oils and capsules the most popular formats. In this guide, we break down the differences between them, helping you understand how each one is taken and which suits your routine.
With insights from our team in Inverness, GOGO GREEN ORGANICS is here to help you make an informed decision.
1. Understanding CBD
CBD is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. Unlike its cousin THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not have psychoactive properties, meaning it will not get you “high”. It is sold in the UK as a food supplement and is most often taken daily as part of a routine.
Our team in Inverness makes sure every product meets rigorous quality standards, with organic hemp and independent lab testing. Discover our premium CBD products and shop online.
2. CBD Oils – The Essentials
CBD oils are one of the most popular and versatile formats. They are made by extracting CBD from hemp and blending it with a carrier oil such as MCT (coconut) oil or hemp seed oil.
How CBD Oils Are Taken
CBD oil is typically placed under the tongue and held for a minute or so before swallowing. It can also be added to food or drinks.
Why People Choose CBD Oils
- Adjustable serving: a dropper lets you fine-tune the number of drops, within the guidance on the label.
- Versatility: take it alone or mix it into tea, coffee or a smoothie.
- Choice of strengths: pick the concentration that suits you.
Tip for buyers: look for products with third-party lab test results and organic ingredients. All GOGO Green Organics products are lab-tested – view our lab reports.
3. CBD Gummies – Tasty and Convenient
Gummies are an excellent option if you prefer a delicious, discreet way to take CBD. They taste great and provide a consistent, pre-measured amount of CBD in every piece.
How CBD Gummies Are Made
CBD gummies are infused with a set amount of CBD extract and combined with a gummy base and natural flavourings. Vegan versions use pectin or fruit-based gels instead of gelatin.
Why People Choose CBD Gummies
- Convenient and discreet: easy to carry and take on the go.
- Pre-measured: each gummy contains a set amount of CBD, taking the guesswork out of your routine.
- Variety of flavours: fruity flavours make CBD a pleasant experience.
Our CBD gummies are crafted with organic ingredients and come with published lab results.
4. CBD Capsules – Easy and Consistent
CBD capsules offer a familiar, straightforward way to add CBD to your daily routine. Each capsule contains a measured amount of CBD.
How CBD Capsules Are Taken
Capsules are swallowed with water like any other supplement. Our Pure CBD Capsules contain 25 mg of CBD isolate per capsule.
Why People Choose CBD Capsules
- Consistent serving: every capsule contains the same amount of CBD.
- Convenience: easy to swallow and perfect for a busy lifestyle.
- Odourless and tasteless: ideal if you dislike the taste of CBD oil.
5. Product Comparison: Which Is Right for You?

6. Usage Guidelines
Individual responses vary, so always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and do not exceed the amount stated on the packaging. If you are new to CBD, a lower-strength product is a sensible starting point. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. Keeping a note of which products you enjoy can help you settle into a routine.
