T
PLANTS NOT PILLS CAPSULES
BY RÓISÍN DELANEY
3 x 35mg capsules with hemp oil extract
The first thing that drew my attention to this product was the
breakdown of the cannabinoid content on the reverse of the
packaging. It provides a recommended daily intake of up to four
capsules per day. That works out as 168mg of hemp oil extract,
which has 100mg of CBD, zero THC and the rest, I suspect, is
a mix of other cannabinoids. I don’t tend to opt for soft gels or
capsules, preferring oil drops instead. But these capsules are tiny
in size compared with others. While the brand name definitely
fits a plant-based lifestyle, they have used beef gelatin for the
capsule shells, making them unsuitable for vegans. They are,
however, gluten, lactose and fructose free and non-GMO.
HEMP TAFFY VARIETY PACK
BY LUCY MACKINNON
10mg per piece
This comes with a range of flavours to try, including orange
mint zest, peppermint, chocolate and chocolate mint. Natural
as well as gluten free, these sweets have a great USP and may
be more appealing to those who have tried but never warmed
to gummies.
They’re also individually wrapped meaning they can stay in
your handbag until needed and eaten on the go, rather than
carrying a jar of gummies around town.
My favourite flavour was the peppermint. The terpene flavour
is present at first, but as you chew, the fresh peppermint taste
takes over. I love the texture as it melts in the mouth.
