Love CBD capsules are made of broad-spectrum CBD and contains no artificial preservatives, no GMOs and no pesticides. As a broad-spectrum product, their CBD capsules have all the all-natural hemp extracts such as Cannabidiol (CBD), CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabitriol), as well as the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids. However, they are THC free, making them he perfect CBD capsules for athletes.
All their CBD capsules focus on maximising the entourage effect – a physiological phenomenon wherein the properties of active hemp compounds appear to be more powerful when consumed together rather than by themselves individually – through the preservation of synergy between the plants cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids.
Their products are all derived from organic hemp plants that are grown under the highest agricultural directives in Europe and the company use a CO2 extraction process to produce their CBD capsules.
Love CBD oil is vegan friendly, gluten-free, organic, GMO free, lab tested and contains no THC, CBN & THCV, ensuring you get the purest CBD possible.
Not only do we think that Love CBD has developed an amazing range of CBD capsules, but they’ve also sensibly priced their products which makes them great value for money.
A person between 150 and 240 lbs may need between 20mg and 40mg of CBD per day depending on the severity of their symptoms. A bottle of their 600mg CBD capsules which contain 60 x 10mg capsules (retail: £34.99) will therefore last between 15 and 30 days and cost between £1.16 and £2.33 per day (with free shipping), which we think is quite good value especially when compared to other CBD capsules on the market.
It’s also worth noting that since Love CBD offer their capsules in four strengths – 5mg to 30mg – it also makes their products very versatile and easier to get the perfect CBD dosage, especially when compared to other brands which only offer 25mg or 30mg capsules.
Based on 20mg of CBD per day, here’s how the best CBD capsules stack-up in terms of daily cost:
CBD (mg) | Price | Daily Cost | |
Honest Hemp | 30 x 25mg | £39.99 | £1.06 |
Medterra | 30 x 25mg | £40.98 | £1.09 |
Love CBD | 60 x 10mg | £34.99 | £1.16 |
Blessed CBD | 30 x 30mg | £59.95 | £1.33 |
Hempura | 30 x 10mg | £19.99 | £1.33 |
Naturecan | 30 x 10mg | £19.99 | £1.33 |
Provacan | 30 x 24mg | £49.99 | £1.39 |
Four Five CBD | 60 x 10mg | £50.00 | £1.67 |
Endoca | 30 x 10mg | £26.00 | £1.73 |
Holistic Hemp | 30 x 15mg | £50.00 | £2.22 |
So heavy CBD users will need to place an order every 2 weeks, whilst mild users may will be able to push this to every 30 days.
Love CBD capsules have many advantages over other CBD products such as CBD oil or CBD gummies.
CBD doesn’t have one-size-fits-all dosing and calculating a proper dosage of CBD can be tough as our bodies react to it differently.
The four major factors affecting your CBD dosage are:
Most brands recommend customers start with the lowest dose and increase until they find the right serving size that fits their needs. The most common starting amount is between 10mg and 25mg. For anxiety and depression, the dose can vary from 20mg to 50mg or more.
As a rule of thumb, a person weighting between 10.5 and 17 stones (approximately 150 and 240 lbs) may need between 20mg and 40mg of CBD per day depending on the severity of their symptoms.
36-68kgs | 68-108kgs | >108 kgs | |
Low | 10mg | 20mg | 40mg |
Medium | 15mg | 30mg | 50mg |
High | 20mg | 40mg | 60mg |
* FSA Guideline: The FSA recommends that healthy adults do not take more than 70mg of CBD daily, unless advised by a doctor.
Taking it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to see how your body reacts to it is also recommended. If you are not seeing any major benefits, increase your intake slowly every 2 or 3 days until finding the right balance to treat your personal symptoms.
Most CBD capsules contain between 5mg of CBD and 50mg of CBD. So assuming you need to hit 25mg of CBD per day you will need:
CBD / Capsule | Capsules / Day |
5mg | 5 capsules |
10mg | 2-3 capsules |
25mg | 1 capsule |
If however you are trying to hit 50mg of CBD per day, you will need:
CBD / Capsules | Capsules / Day |
5mg | 10 capsules |
10mg | 5 capsules |
25mg | 2 capsules |
50mg | 1 capsule |
If you are trying to hit 50mg of CBD per day and use 5mg CBD capsules, you could break this down throughout the day and take 4 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach, 3 capsules early afternoon and 3 capsules in the evening.
As with everything, start with a small amount of CBD daily to make sure there’s no reaction, then increase slowly by a drop every 1-2 days until finding the right balance.
With CBD becoming an ever growing market, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has classified CBD as a food supplement and issued a number of recommendations on its website. It is the first country in the world to set recommended limits for CBD consumption and to advise against taking CBD for vulnerable groups – including pregnant women and people taking existing medication.
For healthy adults, the FSA recommends not to take more than 70mg a day, unless it has been advised by a doctor. This advice is based on the latest scientific information available to the FSA and levels given are for an average 70kg adult so one could deduct that the FSA has set a maximum target of 1mg of CBD per kg of bodyweight.
However, it is worth noting that several studies have found CBD to be safe at higher doses.

By focusing on developing a small range of high-quality full-spectrum CBD products, pricing the fairly, delivering their products in a timely fashion and offering great customer support, Love CBD has built one of the best CBD brands in the UK and has a loyal customer base. The company has over 4000 verified reviews on Trustpilot, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5, making it one of the best scores from a UK CBD brand. Below are some of their latest customer reviews.
CBD products are legal in the UK as long as the plant which have been grown contain less than 0.2% of THC, the legal limit in the UK. The reason for this is that THC is known to be a psychotropic substance and limiting the amount of THC ensures that CBD is safe to consume and will not have any psychoactive effects. In other words, CBD won’t get you “high”.
You will not be arrested or fined for buying, consuming or carrying CBD products, anywhere in the UK, as long as it has less than 0.2% THC in it.
What is illegal is to grow the hemp plant(s) yourself, at home. Growth for personal use is strictly prohibited by the Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971. To do so, could result in up to 5 years in prison and/or an unlimited fine.
As CBD is eaten or drunk it falls under “novel foods”, which means that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) oversees CBD products and they can therefore enforce new laws and regulations and they have recently done so.
Since the 31st of March 2021, all CBD products must be approved by the FSA in order to be sold in the UK. Failure to do so will result in the products being removed from the shelf. This request for approval means that the exact ingredients within a CBD will be known, making it safer for the general public.
As a CBD company, Love CBD plays the transparency card with their customers. They guarantee that the product you are purchasing contains the exact amount of CBD advertised on their site, without any THC (the intoxicating compound in cannabis).
Since many CBD products contain pesticides, herbicides, mould, fungi, dangerous mycotoxins and not the amount of CBD or THC advertised on their site, Love CBD are working closely with Eurofins, an international company offering analytical testing for CBD products.
In addition to being sourced and extracted from the highest-grade certified organic EU hemp, they guarantee that their products are 100% organic and free of synthetic ingredients.
They allow customers to see their Certificates of Analysis online by going to their lab results page, which breaks down the potency of cannabinoids. The tests available to customers do not however highlight the presence of terpenes and flavonoids, as well as the absence of heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides or microbes, which we think is a shame but pretty standard in the industry.
The human body contains a specialized system called the ECS (the endocannabinoid system), which aim is to regulate a variety of functions such as sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. The body also produces endocannabinoids, which are simply neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.
CBD is believed to interact with specific receptors, specifically the CB1R and CB2R.
Serotonin, or 5-HT, is a neurotransmitter that carries signals from one neuron to the other. CBD increases the level of serotonin, which, in return, helps reduce pain, reduce inflammation as well as provide a range of other health benefits, which include:
