CBD Capsules

20 products

Capsules and softgels are the fixed-dose option. You swallow a set amount, identical every time, with no measuring and no flavor. That makes them the simplest format to build into a daily routine and the easiest one to travel with. Strengths here go up to 200mg of CBD in a single softgel.

How to choose a CBD capsule

  • Compare the strength per capsule. That is the number you are actually taking. The bottle figure only tells you how long it lasts.
  • Check the serving size. Some formulas are two capsules, so the per-capsule amount is half of what the serving line says.
  • Decide whether you want a blend or plain CBD. Several here add CBG or CBN at a stated ratio, and one adds caffeine.
  • Check the spectrum. Isolate and broad spectrum have no detectable THC; full spectrum keeps a trace, and the CBDfx Daily Chill Blend declares 2.5mg of Delta-9 per capsule.
  • Look at the shell. Plant-based softgel shells make a product vegan; gelatin does not.

What is in this collection

Per-capsule strength is the first thing to compare, and the range is wide. Lazarus Naturals High Potency softgels carry 200mg of CBD each, which is more than most brands put in a single capsule. Canna River Classic Softgels hold 100mg, JustCBD gel capsules 50mg, and Medterra Daily Relief comes at 25mg or 50mg of CBD isolate with no THC at all.

Some are blends rather than plain CBD. Canna River pairs CBD with CBN and CBG in its Calm softgels, 50mg of CBD with 25mg of each, and with CBG at one to one in its Pain softgels. The CBDfx Morning Capsules combine 60mg of CBD with 60mg of CBG per two-capsule serving, plus caffeine and Rhodiola, which makes them a morning product rather than an anytime one. The CBDfx Night Capsules run CBD and CBN at one to one with no melatonin. The CBDfx Daily Chill Blend is full spectrum with 2.5mg of time-release hemp-derived Delta-9 per capsule.

Lazarus Naturals and NuLeaf Naturals add full spectrum softgels in several strengths. NuLeaf also sells CBG, CBN and CBC softgels on their own, and Lazarus pairs CBD with CBN in its Sleep Capsules.

Capsule or tincture?

A capsule is swallowed, so it passes through digestion and takes longer to be felt than a tincture held under the tongue. In exchange you get a dose you cannot get wrong and a product with no taste, which is why people who take CBD every day often end up here. If you are still working out how much you want, a tincture lets you move in smaller steps first.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a CBD capsule and a softgel?

The shell. A capsule is usually a two-piece shell around a powder; a softgel is a sealed one-piece shell around an oil. Softgels suit oil-based hemp extract, which is why most CBD products in this format are softgels.

How much CBD is in one capsule?

It depends on the product and it is stated on every page. Lazarus Naturals High Potency softgels carry 200mg each, Canna River Classic 100mg, JustCBD 50mg, and Medterra Daily Relief 25mg or 50mg.

How long do CBD capsules take to work?

Longer than a tincture held under the tongue, because a capsule goes through digestion first. Taking it with food changes the timing as well.

Are CBD capsules vegan?

Several are, with plant-based shells and pectin-free formulas, but it is declared per product rather than across the category. Check the page for the one you are buying.

Do CBD capsules contain THC?

It depends on the spectrum. Medterra Daily Relief is isolate and contains none. The CBDfx Morning and Night capsules are broad spectrum, with none detected. The CBDfx Daily Chill Blend is full spectrum and declares 2.5mg of Delta-9 per capsule.
