CBD Softgels 5%

The choice here is about form more than strength. You want the amount settled at the factory, not at the table, and you are fine with a gelatine shell. That is the whole decision. This is the first rung of six, with less CBD per softgel than the five above it, and the fill inside is our full spectrum 2.0 oil.

When this is not your form

The shell is gelatine (bovine) and glycerine, so these softgels are not vegan and not vegetarian. A swallowed softgel goes through the digestion, while oil under the tongue does not; if you want that route with the amount still fixed, bite the softgel open under the tongue, which costs you the tasteless part but keeps the amount fixed. This is the first of six rungs and there is nothing below it, so if you want more per softgel than this one holds, the rung above holds about 17 mg in a single softgel, and if you are still working out your amount, a form that measures per drop adjusts more finely than any fixed capsule. Stronger is not automatically better; the strength worth having is the one that makes your amount easy to take.

What is in the softgel

Inside each softgel sits the same fill as our CBD Oil 5%, full spectrum 2.0 in hemp seed oil. Every prominent cannabinoid in it is raised to a measured, declared level, so the CBN, CBG, CBC and CBDa come in at over 20 times what an ordinary full spectrum oil holds. Our page on the 2.0 formula explains how those levels are reached.

The shell is gelatine (bovine) and glycerine. The hemp taste stays behind it, which is why a softgel has no taste or smell of its own.

The formula was developed in Switzerland in 2021 and has not changed since. Hemp comes from EU growers, production runs under ISO 22000 and GMP, and the independent laboratory IFHA checks every batch for cannabinoid content and purity. You can pull up the certificate for your jar in our batch certificate lookup. Cibdol has worked with cannabinoids since 2014.

How to take these softgels

One softgel three times a day, with water, at fixed times. That comes to 25 mg CBD a day, and a jar of 60 lasts 20 days at that rhythm.

Our advice here sits higher than for the oil at the same strength. A swallowed softgel goes through the digestion and oil under the tongue does not, and the advice is set with that difference in mind.

Want more than this? Then the step is the next strength up, not extra softgels, because the amount per softgel is fixed. Our strength calculator gives you a personal starting point.

How long a jar lasts

Three softgels a day means a jar covers 20 days, so a jar is not a month here. Finding the amount that suits you takes three weeks or more, so the first jar is gone before you get there. That is why three jars make sense. Our supply planner maps that out. Per mg you pay more here than at the other five strengths, and per jar and per mg the price matches the oil of the same strength.
