About CBDfx
CBDfx is a formulator. Where most brands sell CBD and let you decide what to do with it, CBDfx decides first and builds the product around that decision. The Morning Capsules pair CBD with CBG, caffeine, Rhodiola and L-Tyrosine. The Focus Blend tincture carries CBG and three functional mushrooms. The Night Capsules run CBD and CBN at one to one with no melatonin at all, which is unusual in a sleep product.
That approach is the reason to buy them over a plain tincture, and also the thing to check: a blend only does something if the second ingredient is there in a real amount. CBDfx publishes those figures per serving, so read the serving line rather than the number on the front of the bottle.
The hemp is grown in the United States and most of the range is broad spectrum, with no detectable THC. A smaller group is full spectrum and says how much Delta-9 it carries, down to 1.5mg in a gummy and 2.5mg in the time-release Daily Chill capsule.
Pros and cons
What we like
- Blends with a stated purpose instead of CBD plus a pinch of something. The Morning Capsules give 60mg of CBD and 60mg of CBG in a two-capsule serving.
- Most of the line is broad spectrum, which is the useful default if you are drug tested.
- Unusual formats other brands do not bother with: a mushroom tincture, a melatonin-free CBN capsule, a heating lotion with a 1:1 CBG to CBD ratio.
What to know before you buy
- Serving size is not consistent. The Turmeric and Spirulina gummies are a two-gummy serving at 1500mg and a one-gummy serving at 3000mg, so the per-gummy amount is not what the bottle says divided by sixty.
- Part of the range is THC-forward, at 5mg or 10mg of Delta-9 per gummy: a different kind of product from a daily CBD routine, whatever the CBD number next to it.
- The Muscle and Joint topicals work through menthol and camphor as much as through CBD. If you do not want a cooling or heating sensation, they are the wrong pick.
- The Massage Oil contains sweet almond oil, a tree nut, and several products use MCT from coconut.
