How to Pick Your First CBD Product: Format, Strength, and When to Use What

Starting with CBD can feel overwhelming. Gummies, rollers, creams, oils, different milligrams on every label. Where do you even begin?

Here's the simple version: start with what you want help with, then pick the format that fits your life, then choose your strength. Let's walk through it.

Step 1: Start With What You Want Support With

The best first product is the one made for the moment you care about most. Ask yourself: what part of my day do I want to feel better?

• Joints that feel stiff after a long day or a big workout? Look at our Joint Relief Gummies or a topical like the Relief Roller.
• Trouble winding down at night? Our Sleep Gummies are made for your bedtime routine.
• Days that feel like a lot? Calm Gummies are a simple way to take a breather.
• Dragging by mid-afternoon? Energy Gummies are there for a daytime pick-me-up.

Once you know your "why," everything else gets easier.

Step 2: Pick Your Format

Gummies: The Easiest Place to Start

If you're brand new to CBD, gummies are our number one recommendation. Every gummy is pre-measured, so there's no guessing. They taste great, they travel easily, and they fit into any routine. Plus, each of our gummies pairs CBD with ingredients chosen for a specific purpose:

• Joint Relief Gummies combine CBD with turmeric and boswellia in a Tangerine Yuzu flavor. A go-to for active people and anyone who wants to keep moving comfortably.
• Sleep Gummies pair CBD with melatonin. Enjoy one about 30 minutes before bed as part of your nightly wind-down.
• Calm Gummies bring together CBD, ashwagandha, and L-theanine for those moments when you need to reset without feeling drowsy.
• Energy Gummies feature B12 and ginseng for an afternoon lift.

Not ready to commit? Our gummies also come in a 5-count trial size, perfect for trying before you buy a full bottle.

Topicals: For Right Where You Need It

Topicals go directly on your skin, so they're great for a specific spot.

• Relief Roller: Our bestseller. Roll it onto shoulders, knees, or your lower back without getting your hands messy. It features aloe, menthol, and chamomile for a cooling feel.
• Comfort Cream: An unscented cream for massaging into tired feet, hands, or anywhere that needs a little extra care.
• Body Butter: Rich, nourishing, and perfect as part of your after-shower routine.
• Lotion Spray: A lightweight, hydrating option you can spray on and go.

CBD Oil: For Fine-Tuners

Our CBD Oil lets you adjust your amount drop by drop. Place it under your tongue, hold for about 30 seconds, and swallow. It's a great choice once you know what you like and want more control.

Step 3: Choose Your Strength

Our gummies come in two strengths: 750mg and 1500mg. Here's what that means.

The number on the bottle is the total CBD in the whole bottle, not in each gummy. In a 30-count bottle:

• 750mg = about 25mg of CBD per gummy
• 1500mg = about 50mg of CBD per gummy

New to CBD? Start with 750mg. It's a comfortable starting point that lets you learn how your body responds. Use it consistently for a week or two before deciding if you want more.

Already know what works for you? Go with 1500mg. It's a stronger serving for experienced users, and a better value if you know you'll use it daily.

The golden rule: start low, go slow. You can always move up.

Step 4: Match It to Your Day

• Morning: Energy Gummies or a few drops of CBD Oil with your coffee.
• Before or after activity: Joint Relief Gummies as part of your routine, plus the Relief Roller for a cooling cool-down.
• Stressful moments: Calm Gummies in your desk drawer or purse.
• Evening: Sleep Gummies 30 minutes before bed, followed by Body Butter after a warm shower.

The Bottom Line

Your first CBD product doesn't need to be perfect. Start with what you want support with, grab a 750mg gummy or a Relief Roller, and give it a couple of weeks. From there, you'll know exactly where to go next.
