CBD SPRING WATER
BY RÓISÍN DELANEY
10mg CBD per 200ml
CBD waters are a great way to rehydrate after a night on the tiles, in
the sun or during a workout. But they are also a good starting point
for those who haven’t taken CBD before and wish to start with a
low dose.
CBD Spring Water claims to be ‘fast acting’ and a ‘highly effective
CBD delivery system,’ but does it work?
At first I was a little concerned when I poured the contents of
the electric blue bottle into a glass to check the colour. Cloudy, I
was hesitant to try a sip. I had tried a few CBD waters prior to this
occasion and none resembled this liquid. It almost looked like that
organic pale lemonade you get at upmarket health food stores in
Fulham, without the sparkle.
I learned there’s actually a reason for the cloudiness. The
manufacturers say this is due to the water being rich in minerals.
Packed with calcium, the water is sourced at the Welsh foothills of
Mount Snowdon. I love trying British-made products – that’s a big
selling point for me.
I can’t fault the glass bottle either. It’s a good idea at a time when
everyone is joining the ‘ban plastics’ brigade. One thing I have
seen on similar products from the US, which doesn’t appear to be
listed on this packaging, is the use of water-soluble CBD extract. I
suspect this is what the manufacturers used, as they boast its high
bioavailability on the bottle.
British made CBD-infused water hasn’t been easy to come by in
2019, but this is a great introduction for those who want to try it. If
there was one thing I’d love to try, it’s a sparkling version!
