Blessed CBD: Our Honest Review

Blessed CBD was launched in 2019 to bring high-quality and affordable CBD products to the UK market. At the time of writing Blessed had over 2,000 genuine reviews online.

The company grows its hemp in sunny Colorado (USA) and it uses a supercritical CO2 extraction process to produce their full and broad-spectrum CBD oils.

When buying Blessed CBD oil, you can be sure it is of the highest quality and potency as they have developed their own propriety strains which have been derived from specially bred hemp plants that are grown on licensed, organic farms.

Customer reviews are consistently good and Blessed was voted the best CBD oil in the UK in 2021 by the likes of The Mirror, Observer, Discover Magazine, Manchester Evening News, Express, Hypothesis Journal, My London, Hull Daily and Island Echo to name just a few.

Blessed CBD oil was tested by the CBD Unboxed team for a period of 2 weeks. Our review covers 7 key criteria and product recommendations can be found under the product range section.

Why Do We Test CBD Products?

I launched CBD Unboxed because I suffer from a medical condition called bilateral femoroacetabular impingement (known as FAI), which over the last 20 years has completely damaged all the cartilage in my hip, resulting in hip osteoarthritis. As hip arthritis is an very painful condition, and to avoid relying on traditional painkillers which have known side effects, I turned to more natural products and found CBD to work very well for me.

I have now used CBD for the past 7 years but since many CBD companies in the UK are selling low quality products and given there is still a lot of stigma regarding CBD and THC, I launched CBD Unboxed to help you find the best products on the market.

Please note that Blessed CBD has been officially tested and reviewed by the CBD Unboxed team. Products have not been gifted by the brand, which means this review is 100% independent and non-biased.

Our Review: Blessed 10% CBD Oil

The review carried out by the CBD Unboxed team focused on Blessed 10% CBD Oil (10% concentration with hemp seed oil carrier), which contains all the natural hemp extracts such as Cannabidiol (CBD), CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabicitran), as well as the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids.

As it is a full-spectrum CBD oil, it also contains trace amounts of THC, but it is non-psychoactive as the hemp plant used to produce the CBD extracts contain less than 0.2% THC.

During the two-week period, we took 20mg of CBD in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by 10mg at lunchtime and a further 10mg an hour before bedtime, giving us a total of 40mg of CBD per day.

Price-wise, their 10% CBD Oil retails at £74.95 (£0.075 per mg of CBD) which makes it a pricier alternative. However, when it comes to its effectiveness, this remains one of the best CBD oils we’ve ever tried and tested.

The characteristics of their 1000mg (10%) CBD oil are detailed below.

+ Size: 10ml Bottle
+ Strength: 10% CBD Oil (1000mg)
+ Type: Full-Spectrum CBD Oil
+ Oil Carrier: Hempseed oil
+ Hemp Origin: USA
+ Extraction: CO2
+ Flavour: Unflavoured
+ Our Rating: 8.8 / 10
+ Price: £74.95 (Cost per Day: £1.50 for 20mg daily)

Be aware that results may vary depending on your personal requirements so be sure to check the dosage recommendations before taking any CBD products.

So how well did Blessed full-spectrum CBD perform in our review?

Blessed Review: Effectiveness (9.5/10)

Blessed CBD Oil for Pain Relief

After taking Blessed CBD oil for a period of two weeks, I can confidently say that it is a very high quality full-spectrum oil which has robust pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.

This probably explained why UFC fighter and middle weight champion of the world Israel Adesanya (pictured above) partnered with Blessed. He has spoken several times about his use of CBD to reduce inflammation, improve recovery after training and fight pain when he is injured.

From my personal experience, I tend to feel incredibly sore first thing in the morning as I have been lying in bed for 7-8 hours and my hip is usually really stiff. However, by simply taking 20mg of CBD oil first thing in the morning, I felt absolutely amazing and was able to get on with my day without having to worry too much about hip pain or discomfort.

This was also the case on days where I hit the gym or increased my physical activity.

So if like me you suffer from a painful condition like arthritis, you’ll find that their CBD oil should help you from a pain management perspective.

As a final point, it would be interesting to test their higher concentration products, especially Blessed 18% CBD oil as arthritis of the hip joint is incredibly painful and it would be good to see how higher strength products perform in comparison to their 10% concentration. One for our next review.

Other Benefits of Blessed CBD

Other than helping with pain and inflammation, we found Blessed CBD oil to work incredibly well for other conditions such as sleep, anxiety or stress.

This is because CBD interacts the specific receptors in the body, namely CB1R and CB2R.

  • CB1 receptors, which are located in various regions of the body, with a large concentration in the central nervous system and brain, co-ordinate mood, emotion, appetite, and other functions.
  • CB2 receptors are more commonly found in the immune system and are responsible for controlling inflammation and pain. CBD stimulates these receptors and induces the body to release serotonin.

CBD also increases the level of Serotonin, or 5-HT, a neurotransmitter that carries signals from one neuron to the other. In doing so, it helps with the below conditions:

  • CBD Oil for Sleep: By taking CBD oil just before going to bed, it relaxes both the mind and body and helps you fall asleep faster, as well as stay asleep throughout the night.
  • CBD Oil for Stress: Through its interaction with the hippocampus and the amygdala, CBD oil can relax the mind and reduce the symptoms of stress.
  • CBD Oil for Fibromyalgia: CBD oil can help fibromyalgia sufferers by reducing the pain experienced as well as the level of inflammation, and it can also improve their sleep.
  • CBD for Anxiety: CBD has both anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties, and can be a great alternative to anxiety medications which have known side-effects.
  • CBD Oil for Headaches: CBD oil reduces stress and improves sleep, two major triggers of headaches. It also has strong pain relieving and antiemetic (prevent vomiting) properties which can help people with chronic headaches.
  • CBD Oil for Arthritis: As we have seen during our 2-week product review, CBD has antiarthritic, pain relieving as well as anti-inflammatory properties making it a great option for people suffering from arthritis.
  • CBD Oil for Nausea: CBD is know to have antiemetic properties, meaning that it prevents people from feeling nauseous or wanting to vomit. It has been used widely for cancer patients as it helps relieve some of the side-effects of chemotherapy.
  • CBD Oil for Period Cramps: CBD has been proven to help reduce unpleasant period-related symptoms such as pain, cramping, poor sleep, nausea and anxiety

Blessed Review: Taste (8.5/10)

A Lovely Taste for a Full-Spectrum Oil

The first thing you’ll notice when opening a bottle of their full-spectrum CBD oil us that it has quite a dark brown colour. This usually indicates a stronger flavour profile – i.e. the darker the oil, the more likely it is to contain all the terpenes, flavanoids and plant waxes and therefore to have a very earthy taste.

However, after taking Blessed 10% CBD oil for two weeks, it is fair to say that it taste rather nice for a full-spectrum oil. When swallowing the oil after leaving it under the tongue for 30-60 seconds, you’ll experience a slight grassy taste and a little bit of a bitter aftertaste, but it is not unpleasant and won’t linger in your mouth very long (10-15 seconds max).

For a Better Taste: Broad-Spectrum CBD

For those of you who do not like the natural taste of full-spectrum CBD oils, Blessed have launched a new range of broad-spectrum oils which are better tasting and contain zero THC:

Blessed Review: Value for Money (7/10)

Whilst we love Blessed 10% CBD oil for its efficacy and the fact they offer both broad and full spectrum products, it is fair to say their CBD oils are on the pricier side.

The average CBD user will usually consume between 20mg and 40mg of CBD per day depending on their condition and the severity of their symptoms. A 10ml bottle of their 1000mg CBD oil (retail: £74.95) will therefore last between 25 and 50 days and cost between £1.50 and £3.00 per day (with free shipping), which we think is on the more expensive side.

Based on 20mg of CBD per day, here’s how the Top CBD brands reviewed by our team stack-up:

Great Attention to Customer Experience

Whilst Blessed is on the pricier side, we still believe that their CBD oil is worth the money. Not nly is their oil incredibly effective, but the company has put a huge amount of time and effort to deliver a great customer experience. This is reflected by the quality of their packaging which is by far the best in the market. Each box comes with:

  • 1 x CBD oil
  • A welcome letter
  • An educational CBD booklet
  • The certificate of analysis

Cheaper Alternatives

Although we would encourage you to give Blessed CBD a go, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative we would highly recommend:

Blessed Review: Product Range (8/10)

Whilst Blessed CBD have only been in business since 2019, they have already developed a wide range of high-quality products, including CBD oils, CBD capsules, CBD gummies and CBD creams.

1. Full Spectrum CBD Oils

Blessed full-spectrum CBD oils are made from organically-grown US hemp, contain Hempseed oil (oil carrier), have all the natural hemp extracts such as CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabicitran), as well as the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids. They also contain small amounts of THC, CBN & THCV, ensuring you get the purest CBD possible with a legal amount of THC.

+ Strength: 5% to 18%
+ Type: Full-Spectrum CBD Oil
+ THC Content: Less than 0.2%
+ Oil Carrier: Hempseed oil
+ Flavour: Unflavoured

+ Price: £74.95 (10% CBD Oil)

As all their CBD oils come in 10ml bottle, the strength of the CBD will differ for each product.

CBD (mg) Type* Price BUY
500mg (5%) FS £44.95 BUY
1000mg (10%) FS £74.95 BUY
1800mg (18%) FS £124.95 BUY

*(FS) – Full Spectrum

Blessed full-spectrum CBD oil 500mg retails at £44.95 (£0.09 per mg) whilst Blessed full-spectrum CBD oil 1000mg and Blessed full-spectrum CBD oil 1800mg retail at £74.95 and £124.95 (£0.07 per mg) respectively, so going for the higher concentration oil will usually work out cheaper in the long run.

2. Broad Spectrum CBD Oils

Blessed CBD have also more recently focused on broad-spectrum CBD oils, which have all the properties of full-spectrum, without any THC content. We assume they have gone down this route as they wanted to appeal to a wider market, specifically CBD users who do not like the taste of hemp.

Their CBD oil is incredibly pure and comes from organic, non-GMO hemp. Blessed pride themselves on being a part of every step in the process, from cultivating their hemp to bottling and selling it.

+ Size: 10ml Bottle
+ Strength: 5% to 18%

500mg BS £39.95 BUY
1000mg BS £69.95 BUY
1800mg BS £119.95 BUY

3. Blessed CBD Capsules (30mg)

If the taste of CBD oil isn’t your thing or you would prefer not to take CBD by using the dropper pipette and leave the oil under your tongue, then you may want to check out Blessed CBD capsules, as you will be able to experience all the benefits of CBD without the downsides of CBD oil.

These capsules are made of 99%+ pure CBD (CBD isolate) which is suspended in fractionated coconut oil and then encapsulated for easy consumption.

All their bottles contain 30 softgels and a total of 900mg of CBD, meaning that each capsule contains 30mg of CBD. This is quite a high strength, especially if you want to start with 15-20mg of CBD per day, but it’s a great alternative to CBD oils and capsules are also incredibly travel friendly, the ideal solution for those who are always on the go.

These capsules are packed with 30mg of CBD and are perfect for more severe or painful conditions. They are vegan friendly, gluten-free, organic, GMO free and lab tested for potency and purity.

Price wise, you can get their 30mg capsules (30 capsules per bottle) for £59.95 which works out at £0.66 per mg of CBD, so cheaper than their full-spectrum CBD oils.

+ CBD: 30mg per Capsule
+ Type: CBD Isolate
+ THC: THC-Free
+ Vegans: Suitable for Vegans
+ Great For: Pain Relief, Stress, Anxiety

As with other Blessed CBD products, their capsules contain no pesticides, herbicides, solvents or chemical fertilizers, they are sourced from organically grown, non-GMO, pesticide-free hemp plants that have been grown in the US. They have also been lab tested for potency and purity.

4. Blessed CBD Gummies (25mg)

If you are the type of person who is always searching for new ways to get your daily dose of CBD, then you may want to check out Blessed CBD gummies.

Their tropical flavoured CBD gummies contain 25mg of Pure CBD (isolate), they are gluten free and non-GMO. They also have 0% THC content as they are made from CBD isolate.

Blessed CBD gummies are made of CBD isolate, a crystalline powder that contains 99%+ pure CBD and infused into delicious tropical mix flavours gummies (mango, lemon-lime, strawberry, raspberry).

To produce their CBD isolate, Blessed goes through a rigorous extraction and refinement process that strips away all other cannabinoids and non-cannabinoid compounds. This is why their CBD gummies do not contain any of the natural hemp extracts such as CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabicitran), any of the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids, or THC. So if you are looking for a product that benefits from the entourage effect, check out Blessed CBD oil instead.

Blessed CBD gummies are vegan friendly, gluten-free, organic, GMO free and lab tested for purity and potency.

Price wise, you can get their 25mg gummies (30 gummies per bottle) for £64.95 which works out at £0.087 per mg of CBD.

Blessed Review: Lab Testing (10/10)

A Transparent CBD Company

As a CBD company, Blessed plays the transparency card with their customers and have made a clear commitment to raising the bar of the quality of CBD products available in the UK.

Since many CBD products contain pesticides, herbicides, mould, fungi and dangerous mycotoxins, Blessed are working closely with Phytovista Labs, a leading CBD laboratory testing service, to test all their CBD oils.

The tests carried out focus on various dimensions to guarantee the quality and safety of each batch.

  • Over 200 different pesticides
  • Heavy Metals like Arsenic, Lead, or Mercury
  • Aflatoxins and Mycotoxins
  • Terpenes
  • Microbes

In addition to being sourced and extracted from the highest-grade certified organic US hemp, they guarantee that their products are 100% organic and free of synthetic ingredients.

They allow customers to see their Certificates of Analysis online, which break down the potency of cannabinoids, the presence of terpenes and flavonoids, as well as the absence of heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides or microbes.

I highly recommend Blessed CBD capsules. They have help me feel so much better after years of depression and insomnia. I now sleep ok 90% of the time.



Just received my order today and I can say this is one of the most pleasant companies I have ordered from. They say knowledge is power and in the box came with a really insightful booklet about the product and the ECS (endocannabinoid System) you can see the detail and the research that has been put into this product. It does have a earthy taste to the oil but its not unpleasant. I will be referring Blessed CBD to my friends and family.
