What are CBD Softgels & Why do We Take them? Everything You Need to Know!

THE ADVANTAGES OF CONSUMING CBD IN SOFTGELS FORMAT

CBD Softgels are a convenient, easy way to take your daily dose of CBD. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many beneficial cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis plants that offer therapeutic benefits for users. Taking CBD softgels, alongside proper lifestyle adjustments such as adequate rest, time in nature and fulfilling relationships, can provide relief from many different mental and physical issues. CBD softgels are also easy to swallow, safe, and effective.

At Medicine Box Wellness, we believe that healing requires more than just one single component in isolation to do all the work. Instead, it requires a synergistic combination of herbs and mushrooms working together in harmony to achieve maximum benefit for the user. Our 1CaB Healing Suite of Botanical Formulations has been designed with this in mind, providing CBD softgels for sale that are formulated to work together and enhance the therapeutic effects of each other. That’s why our CBD softgels make a great choice when you’re looking for natural relief from pain, inflammation, anxiety, stress, depression and more. 

THE BEGINNING OF SOFTGELS

Softgels, also known as gelcaps or gelatine capsules, are a type of capsule made from gelatin and other ingredients. And despite their current popularity, they've been around for longer than you may think. The original prototype dates back do 1834, when a French pharmacist named Franciosi Achille Barnabe Mothes initially created small leather bags utilizing both a mercury and gelatin solution. Later improving upon his initial design with brass molds, the American company Eli Lilly & Co. built the first hard softgel manufacturing facility, kickstarting their mass market usage. But it was in 1930 when Robert P. Scherer made an automatic filling machine for the softgel capsules we all use today.

Today, softgels are used to deliver a wide range of nutraceuticals, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary supplements. They are a popular choice for nutraceuticals because they are easy to swallow, and can protect the ingredients from degradation by air, light, and moisture. Softgels are also easy to manufacture and can be made in a variety of sizes and shapes.

CBD and other cannabinoids were originally consumed by smoking or vaporizing the plant material that contains them. As cannabis research advanced and manufacturers determined healthier ways of administering cannabinoid medicines, other methods of consumption were developed, such as consuming the plant material in food or beverage products. This led to the creation of various tinctures and oils that could be taken orally. In recent years, the use of softgels to deliver cannabinoids has become increasingly popular. Softgels provide a convenient and discreet way to consume cannabinoids, and the gelcaps can protect the ingredients from degradation by air, light, and moisture. Softgels also allow for accurate dosing and controlled release of the active ingredients. Today, softgels are a common form of cannabinoid consumption, and are used to deliver a wide range of products, including CBD, CBN, CBG, and CBC.

HOW IT ALL COMES TOGETHER IN THE SOFTGEL

Softgels are a perfect medium for Medicine Box's three formulations: Equanimity, Happy Belly, and Vital Recovery. These formulations combine cannabinoids like CBD and CBG with herbs and mushrooms to provide targeted health benefits.
