CBD Chewing Gum UK

There’s no shortage of interesting ways to consume CBD. CBD chewing gum is one of the most effective and trendy methods of taking CBD orally. It’s largely preferred because it’s discrete giving you the opportunity to pop the gum into your mouth on the go without any curious looks.

What is CBD Chewing Gum?

CBD chewing gum is chewing gum that is infused with cannabidiol. There are numerous methods of taking CBD, and new ones continue to be devised every day. CBD chewing gum is one of those methods that helps CBD lovers take CBD discretely and keep their CBD levels high in their bloodstream.

What are CBD Gums Made of?

Different CBD brands have different ingredients for their CBD chewing gum depending on the intended purpose and experience. However, there are a few ingredients that are a staple in most CBD chewing gums. These include:

• Stevia
• Xylitol
• Silicon dioxide
• Isomalt
• Maltitol

Some CBD chewing gums also contain sunflower and hemp seed oils. To give the user that fresh and minty breath, some CBD chewing gums will also have that minty flavour.

At Flawless Vape Shop, we always make sure that all the ingredients used to make CBD chewing gums are food-grade and sourced responsibly to guarantee the safety of the products.

CBD chewing gum ingredients

It's impossible to list all ingredients since different brands use varying recipes. Nonetheless, that's not to say that CBD chewing gums significantly differ from your everyday pieces. 

Recently, most brands are going "herbal"－More and more CBD chewing gums contain other nutritional ingredients like mints, sunflower, and hemp seed oil.

Xylitol is an interesting CBD chewing gum ingredient. It's a substitute for traditional sugar－A plant-based sugar alcohol that's sweet but without tooth-decaying repercussions. Besides taste, it also improves dental health by limiting plaque formation and inhibiting the growth of decay-inducing bacteria.

Here at Flawless Wellness, we are picky with the products we feature on our shelves. We only stock those with food-grade ingredients. Most of our products come from reputable brands that strongly prefer plant-based substances. They are healthier and less likely to trigger side effects.

What is CBD bioavailability?

CBD bioavailability refers to how much of the substance is absorbed into the bloodstream. The higher the bioavailability rating, the more you benefit from CBD's effect—The faster and more profound the experience.

Unfortunately, there isn't a form that offers 100% bioavailability. For example, most CBD edibles have bioavailability ratings of around 15 to 20%－This is because some CBD dissipates during digestion.

On the other hand, sublingually ingested CBD oils and tinctures have bioavailability ratings of 40 to 50%. CBD joints, cigarettes, and inhalers boast the highest bioavailability ratings of over 60%.

Note: Even though most CBD gums are relatively low on the totem pole, some brands claim bioavailability ratings of up to 80%. They apply nanoemulsion technology that dissolves CBD in water (saliva)－Making it easier for the body to absorb CBD sublingually.

Why take CBD chewing gums?

Below are some of the reasons why you should take CBD chewing gums:

Less sugar: Chances are, your regular chewing gums contain unhealthy concentrations of artificial sweeteners that are harmful to your health. CBD chewing gums are significantly healthier and come with additional benefits. First, the CBD plant compound is an excellent relaxer. It interacts with the body's Endocannabinoid Systems (ECS) and promotes homeostasis. Other CBD gums even come with ingredients that boost general well-being.

Convenience: CBD chewing gums are among the most convenient edibles. They don't require any prior preparation. Some even come with minty flavours that keep your breath fresh throughout the day.

Effectiveness: Indeed, most CBD gums can't compete with other traditional forms like oils and tinctures. However, some brands offer exceptional products (Some even have bioavailability ratings of up to 80%). Such chewing gums can even stand as your primary source of CBD.

Sublingual and digestive absorption: Unlike other CBD edibles like gummies, cookies, pills, and capsules, chewing gums allow for both sublingual and digestive absorption－With the ideal dosage, you'll experience CBD's effects much faster.

They help with consistency: CBD isn't a one-time substance you take and enjoy ever-lasting effects. To get the best results, it must become part of your lifestyle (Aim for consistent CBD concentrations in your blood). Throughout the day, chewing gums will slowly release CBD compounds into your body. You'll always feel good and relaxed.

Discreetness: There are so small no one will know you are taking CBD. You can pop on in the office, bus, and even in the library as you enjoy a good book.

Some are biodegradable: Unlike traditional gums, most CBD chewing gums are 100% biodegradable－They feature plant-sourced gum bases that help keep the environment clean (No more sticky residue on pavements). Chicle is an example of a non-synthetic gum base. It used to be popular in the 1880s. However, most manufacturers switched to synthetic gum because it was cheaper for large-scale production.

How do CBD chewing gums work?

As hinted earlier, CBD chewing gums allow both sublingual and digestive absorption. As you chew on your piece, CBD molecules break off from the gum base and into your saliva.

If you don't swallow immediately, your body will take in some CBD through the mouth's inner lining. The lining contains mucous membranes and capillaries that attract and absorb compounds into the bloodstream－We call this sublingual absorption. It’s among the fastest ways of consuming CBD.

Digestive absorption takes place when you swallow saliva containing CBD molecules. They will go through first-pass digestion in the stomach and small intestines. Unfortunately, digestive absorption is very inefficient. Very little CBD actually makes it into your bloodstream since most of it is metabolized by the liver.

Does CBD Chewing Gum Offer Any Benefits?

Each method of taking CBD has unique benefits. That is why CBD brands try to come up with as many ways to take CBD as possible to enhance these benefits and provide the users with different, fun and exciting ways of taking CBD.

Chewing CBD gums is a great way of delivering CBD sublingually. It makes it easier to absorb and you can feel the effects much faster.

Why not also try: CBD Suppositories, CBD Lip Balm and CBD Drinks.

• CBD gums are discrete and easy to take.

How Does CBD Chewing Gum Work?

When chewing CBD, the CBD particles break off into your saliva and are eventually absorbed into the system. Some of the cannabinoids also travel down the gut and into your stomach.

After going through the digestive process, the cannabidiol is then passed through the liver and eventually into the bloodstream.

Because the CBD has to go through the stomach, it’s often advised to chew CBD gum after eating. Not only does this give you fresh breath but also keeps the CBD from being broken down by the acids in the stomach.

Once in the bloodstream, the CBD works through the Endocannabinoid system, which has receptors and enzymes that break it into simpler compounds that can be used by different organs in the body to achieve homeostasis.
