Anxiety and CBD

CBD may support a sense of calm by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system and serotonin receptors. CBD capsules offer a convenient, precise, and effective way to incorporate CBD into your daily routine.

Introduction:

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions globally and can have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Cannabidiol (CBD) has received increasing attention for its potential as a treatment for anxiety. This overview will discuss what CBD is, how it may help with anxiety, and the best ways to take it.

What is CBD?

CBD is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” feeling associated with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This makes CBD an attractive option for those seeking relief from anxiety without the mind-altering effects.

CBD and Anxiety: Research and Evidence

Research suggests that CBD may have an anxiolytic effect. Several studies indicate that CBD may reduce anxiety by influencing the body’s endocannabinoid system and serotonin receptors, which play a role in regulating mood and anxiety. While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms, the preliminary results are promising.

Best CBD Capsules for Anxiety:

CBD capsules are popular due to their convenience and precise dosing. They are easy to take, discreet, and ensure a consistent dose every time. This makes them ideal for those who want a simple and effective way to consume CBD.

Dosing:

The optimal dosage of CBD varies from person to person. It is important to start with a low dose and gradually increase until the desired effects are achieved. CBD capsules offer a precise dose, making it easier to regulate your intake.

CBD Oil vs Capsules:

CBD Oil: Faster onset, as it is absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth. Allows for flexible dosing, but the taste may be a drawback for some, and bioavailability is not always high.

CBD Capsules: Precise dosing and no taste, making it a practical option for many. CBD capsules are easy to take and ensure you always get the same amount of CBD, making them the best choice for consistency and convenience.

CBD Gummies vs Capsules:

CBD Gummies: Offer a tasty way to consume CBD and are easy to take. However, they may contain added sugar and additives.

CBD Capsules: Sugar-free and precisely dosed. Easy to incorporate into a daily routine without extra calories. The capsules are ideal for those who want a healthier option without added sugar and artificial ingredients.

Benefits of CBD Capsules:

CBD capsules are a convenient and precise way to consume CBD. They are discreet, easy to take on the go, and ensure a consistent dose. This makes them an excellent choice for those seeking a hassle-free method to integrate CBD into their daily routine.

Conclusion:

CBD has shown promise as a potential treatment for anxiety, and CBD capsules offer an easy and precise way to consume this natural supplement. If you’re considering CBD for anxiety, capsules may be the ideal solution for you. Be sure to find the right dosage and product.

CBD & NATURAL INGREDIENTS – RESEARCH

CBD, curcumin and piperine do not have EU‑approved health claims. The information below is based on published, peer‑reviewed studies and does not constitute medical claims. Results may vary from person to person.

CBD (cannabidiol)

Provitura uses a micro‑emulsified, water‑soluble CBD formulation. Clinical studies have shown that this type of formulation can increase absorption up to four times compared to traditional CBD oil [1,2].

Research investigates CBD’s potential role within:

Stress & Anxiety A randomised clinical trial (2024) with 300 participants showed that the CBD group experienced the greatest improvement in anxiety symptoms. A large case series (2019) with 72 adults found that 79.2% experienced improved anxiety within the first month [3,4,5].

Sleep quality In the same case series 66.7% reported improved sleep within the first month. Research suggests that CBD’s sleep effect may partly be due to reduction of anxiety and racing thoughts [4,6].

Pain & Inflammation A cross‑sectional study (2022) with 428 participants with arthritis showed that 83% reported pain relief when using CBD. A review from 2020 documents CBD’s anti‑inflammatory mechanisms and finds antioxidant activity higher than vitamin E or C in laboratory studies [7,8].

Mood & Mental Balance Animal studies have shown rapid antidepressant‑like effects, and human research indicates that CBD may support emotional regulation via the serotonin system. However, larger human studies are still lacking [9,10].

Curcumin

Curcumin is the active substance in turmeric. A meta‑analysis of 32 clinical studies with over 2,000 participants found that curcumin supplements reduced several markers of inflammation [11]. Research on people with osteoarthritis has shown improved pain and function compared to placebo [12].

Curcumin has naturally low bioavailability, which is why Provitura combines it with piperine [13].

Piperine

Piperine is the active substance in black pepper and acts as a “bioenhancer.” A clinical study showed that 20 mg piperine increased blood levels of curcumin by about 2000% compared to curcumin alone [13].
