CBD TRIP Drink Review: Everything You Need To Know

Published by reema patel on 10th may 2024 10th may 2024.

TRIP is a cannabidiol ( CBD) brand, launched in the UK in 2019 offering a range of drinks that provide a source of CBD and adaptogens. Alongside the CBD-infused drinks, they also offer CBD oils and CBD-infused cold brew coffee. CBD is non-psychoactive, and claims to offer a feeling of calmness, improving tiredness, creativity, anxiety and productivity levels. We will look closely into the products to provide a detailed TRIP drink review , if it is something worth buying, how do they taste, who is it safe for, and what is the effect on the body.

What are TRIP drinks?

TRIP is a brand of drinks that provide a source of CBD. This is the non-psychoactive compound found in hemp plants, and unlike the active compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), it doesn’t get you high. The TRIP drinks are produced in the UK, and the CBD is derived from hemp. According to the TRIP website, all products are third party tested to ensure they are THC free and of high quality and purity. The drinks come in a range of flavours, including elderflower & mint, peach & ginger and lemon basil, as well as a cold brew coffee drink, and a ‘Calm Down’ CBD drink, which is a raspberry and orange blossom flavour. All of the TRIP CBD is vegan, gluten free and palm oil free. 

Do CBD TRIP drinks do anything?

TRIP drinks are infused with CBD , which is the non-psychoactive part of the hemp plant. They will not make the drinker ‘high’ but it can make the drinker feel more balanced and calm. This can typically take around 20 minutes to feel after the drink has been consumed, though the effects can differ from person to person. CBD itself can promote a sense of calmness and relaxation, which may help to better manage stress and anxiety. CBD-infused drinks may also improve sleep quality, due to the relaxation properties of the drinks. One study from 2019 showed that CBD improved sleep and anxiety in those who consumed CBD for a month.

How does TRIP drink make you feel?

The properties of TRIP largely come from the CBD it contains. Although CBD is part of the cannabis plant, it does not contain any psychoactive properties, such of that of THC, which is a different compound. Instead, CBD is meant to help the drinker to unwind and relax, without the feeling of getting ‘high’.

CBD can help you to relax and unwind, allowing your body to find balance. Unlike with THC, you won’t experience physical or mental impairment and it won’t get you high. The length of time it takes for CBD to take effect is likely to be different from person to person and varies based on the individual. For instance, an individual’s metabolism, diet, weight and genetics could play a role in the period of time it takes for CBD to come into effect. However, CBD generally gets to work quite quickly, and it can take as little as 15 minutes for you to feel more like yourself.

How long do TRIP drinks take to work?

The length of time it takes for the TRIP drinks to work can vary from person to person for a number of factors. This includes the persons age, weight, metabolism and diet, as well as genetics. On average, the effect from CBD drinks can be felt within 15-20 minutes, and can last for up to 4 hours. Compared to consuming foods with CBD, which can take up to an hour for any effects to be felt, and can last for up to 6 hours after ingestion.

The ingredients of the Peach and Ginger TRIP drink includes: Sparkling water Fruit Juices from concentrate 23%, (peach 20%, passion fruit) Flavour enhancer (erythritol) Natural ginger flavour with other natural flavours Botanical extracts (ginger, ginseng, turmeric, lemon balm, chamomile) Acid (citric acid) L- theanine CBD Extract   (soya)   (6mg/100ml)

Are TRIP drinks alcohol free?

Yes, all TRIP drinks are alcohol free, with 0.0% ABV. No alcohol is used in the production of TRIP drinks.

How much CBD is in a TRIP drink?

There is 15mg of CBD in a 250ml can of TRIP drink. As CBD is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is no official recommendation of how much CBD is safe to consume, or how much is needed to feel the claimed effects of CBD.

TRIP drink flavours

Elderflower mint.

This flavour provides a forward aroma of elderflower, with a tone of crisp and clean mint, to give a coolness. The elderflower is sweet and floral, but is balanced well with the zesty freshness of mint. 

Peach & Ginger

The main flavour of this combination is the sweetness of ripe peach, combined with a lingering spicy heat from ginger. It is zesty and fiery, but the ripe sweetness of the peach balances out this spice level for a refreshing, crisp flavour to end with.

Lemon Basil

The zesty flavour of lemon has been paired with the aromatic earthiness of basil, to provide a refreshing drink. It has a citrusy aroma, also providing herbaceous scents of basil. The tartness of the lemon is balanced by the sweet and peppery flavour of basil, making it a crisp, light and refreshing flavour.

Cold Brew Coffee

This is a CBD infused coffee drink, containing only three ingredients: Water, coffee & CBD extract (6mg/100ml) – a total of 15mg CBD per 250ml coffee can. It is d airy-free, gluten-free, vegan and contains no added sugar or sweeteners. It claims to provide a caffeine hit, but due to the inclusion of CBD, will not give the jittery feeling associated with drinking coffee.

This is a raspberry orange blossom flavoured CBD drink, best served ice cold. It is made from a mix of fruit concentrates as well as the addition of magnesium for relaxation and apple cider vinegar for it’s antimicrobial properties.

Advantages of TRIP drinks

• Can help you unwind without the hangover feeling, as it contains no alcohol
• Good alternative drink choice for reducing alcohol intake
• Provides a source of botanicals that are said to be calming and relaxing
• The adaptogens contained in TRIP drinks can help with productivity
• Very low calorie drink, with under 21 calories per can and 0g sugar
• There are a range of flavours, including a combined CBD and caffeine drink to avoid the unpleasant side effects that some people can suffer with when drinking coffee

Disadvantages of TRIP drinks

• May not provide the sought after effect. For some, the drinks do not provide a sense of relaxation or calmness.
• Effects may be from a placebo effect, and can be short lasting
• Taste may not be to everyone’s preference
• Sweeteners are used, which for some can irritate the gut

Possible TRIP drink side effects

Although CBD is generally well tolerated, it can be a case of trial and error to find out what dose suits you as an individual the best. Side effects often come from too high of a dose for your body. Some of the common side effects can include:

• Mood changes
• Changes in appetite
• Dizziness and drowsiness
• Gastrointestinal issues

If you believe you are experiencing any of these side effects, we recommend stopping consuming of TRIP and any other CBD containing products. The FDA recommends not exceeding a dose of more than 70mg CBD per day.

TRIP drink price

The price of TRIP drinks can vary, depending on where they are purchased, and if you are buying a bundle of drinks at once.

For example, an individual can is priced around £2.10 each, or a bundle of 4 for £6.50. If you buy a bundle of 12 from the TRIP website, this would be £24. However, if you want to buy a 24 or 48 pack, they offer a subscribe and save offer, where you can choose a regular delivery of TRIP drinks, giving you a 42% discount. For example, a regular 24 pack case is £48, but if you subscribe and save, this will cost just £31.

When is it best time to consume a TRIP drink?

According to the website, TRIP can be consumed at any time of the day. Ideally when you want to feel calm, so this can be first thing in the morning to start the day, or could be to unwind in the evening after a stressful day. You can even enjoy a TRIP drink during the afternoon, to possibly help with better mood and overall productivity.

Are TRIP drinks safe?

Yes, according to the World Health Organisation, there is no evidence that pure CBD intake leads to public health related problems. CBD itself is unlikely to impair daily functioning, and is safe. However, higher than tolerated quantities can lead to unpleasant side effects for some, as described above.

CBD itself can effectively treat certain types of childhood epilepsy syndromes, especially when not responding to traditional antiseizure medications. In some studies, CBD was able to reduce and even stop seizures altogether. Consumption of high levels of CBD can increase blood thinning, so it is important to be aware of consuming CBD if you are taking any blood thinner medication, as well as an anti-epileptic or immunosuppressant medication. Because CBD products are sold as supplements and not medications, it is not regulated under the FDA, as medications are.

Precautions of drinking TRIP beverages

There are some cases where it would not be advisable to consume CBD products such as TRIP drinks. For example:

• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Although CBD has not been fully researched in pregnant women, it is known that CBD does pass through the placenta, and this may have unknown risks to the developing foetus.
• If you have liver disease. As CBD can increase certain liver enzymes, which can lead to liver inflammation.
• Do not take with alcohol. Consuming CBD products alongside alcohol can cause excessive drowsiness.

Is TRIP drink safe for children?

No, TRIP is not safe for children, as the effect of TRIP have not been extensively researched with children, and therefore it is not advised as a drink to give to children. CBD itself has not been tested extensively for it’s safety and effectiveness, especially in children, so there is no definitive answer if CBD is safe for children.

Although there is some research around how CBD may help with seizure control, which may be then applied to children with seizures, it is not something we would recommend, unless closely monitored by a registered health professional.

Is TRIP drink legal in the UK?

CBD is a legal substance in the UK, as long as the THC concentration does not exceed 0.2%. TRIP does not contain this level of THC, and is therefore safe and legal. It is sold in many supermarkets and retailers across the UK!

Can you drive after a TRIP drink?

Yes – CBD is not a controlled substance and therefore drinking TRIP and then driving is legal. CBD is a non-psychotropic compound, meaning it does not get the user high, and is therefore not illegal. It is important that you use a trusted source of CBD, as some products may contain THC.

Online TRIP drink reviews

Some reviews have commented how the TRIP drinks are great alternatives to alcohol to help them relax and unwind, especially after a long day.

The subscription service seems to be popular as a better value for money offering for those who frequently buy direct from the TRIP website.

However, several reviews mention they felt no difference when consuming the TRIP drinks, even after several tries. Some have doubted that the amount and quality of CBD in one drink is not enough, and there is no evidence on the website on how the CBD content is verified through third party testing. Many reviews comment that the cost cannot justify the product, especially if nothing was felt for them after consuming the drinks.

Are TRIP drinks worth it?

The TRIP drinks can be a great way to help reduce alcohol intake, or have another alterative soft drink, which is low in sugar and easily found in most supermarkets. It can be a refreshing change to just plain water, and for some, it may provide a sense of calmness, and help to improve levels of anxiety. However, for many, the desired outcomes may not be felt, and this may be due to the small doses of CBD found in the TRIP drinks.

Therefore, it is something you can give a try if you would like support with any anxiety or stress management, though we would instead recommend regular support from a private dietitian  to ensure you are seeing positive outcomes with better managing any health concerns, in relation to stress and anxiety. This way, we can ensure you are changing your lifestyle for the better, without the risk of developing any side effects of consuming higher levels of CBD overall.

Trip Drinks Review: Is This Botanical Beverage Worth It?

Right now, I suspect I am an advertiser’s dream when it comes to soft drinks – especially anything with interesting added ingredients and health benefits. I no longer drink alcohol , so am always in the market for interesting new “grown up drinks” – which is why I’ve already reviewed so many for this site.

As is often the case, I discovered Trip’s range of “CBD Infused” drinks via a targeted ad on Facebook. I was intrigued enough to put in an order, and in this Trip Drinks review, I let you know my views on the whole range.

I’m always excited to try out new drinks, but I only tend to order them more than once if they really impress – especially as so many new products are coming out at the moment.

To find out whether Trip Drinks got a second order from me, you’ll have to read on.

NOTE: I’ve now also written a Trip CBD Oil review .

What Are Trip Drinks?

Trip Drinks is a range of healthy soft drinks infused with CBD, and a range of natural botanicals including lemon balm and ginseng. Although it’s a relatively new range, it has gathered considerable momentum already, with positive praise from the likes of Forbes, Vogue and The Guardian.

Sold as a product that can help you to “find your calm amidst the every day chaos,” the drinks are among many products currently hitting the market that incorporate natural, herbal ingredients that have various health and anti-anxiety benefits.

What is In Trip Drinks?

Trip drinks have a base of water and natural fruit juice concentrates. They’re naturally sweetened with steviol, an ingredient many health-conscious people (myself included) prefer to chemicals like aspartame and sucralose.

The interesting part is the added botanical ingredients, and the inclusion of a small dose of CBD (cannabidiol) – a non-psychoactive ingredient derived from the cannabis plant.

CBD is all the rage these days, with many fans (again, myself included), who report benefits such as a greater sense of calm, reduced anxiety, and less pain and inflammation.

Here’s a quick run-down of all the botanicals included in Trip drinks, along with their perceived benefits. I must emphasise that these are benefits they are widely thought to have. I’m not making any medical claims here – this is a personal blog, not a scientific paper.

CBD : This increasingly popular ingredient is a massive deal these days. It’s often used as a natural remedy for anxiety, for lots of pain-related conditions such as arthritis and neuropathy, and to relieve nausea. It does NOT get you “high,” in case you’re wondering! To find out more about it, check out this guide from Harvard University .

Lemon Balm: Lemon balm is from the mint family, and people have long believed it to promote relaxation and to aid in many ailments. These include headaches, nausea and menstrual cramps. This Healthline article discusses several studies into those claims.

Ginseng: This is a supplement that has been used for centuries, and is particularly popular in China and Korea. It is thought to help with everything from cognitive function to blood sugar levels. That said, there is limited medical evidence for these long-believed claims.

L-Theanine : L-Theanine is an amino acid that naturally occurs in tea. It’s said to be good for memory and clarity, and many people believe it’s a good compliment to caffeine. I am one of those people, as it seems to “take the edge” off the jittery buzz. (L Theanine is also found in Three Spirit’s Non Alcoholic Spirits range – reviewed here – where I have particularly noticed that positive effect).

Chamomile: Most of us are familiar with chamomile tea. It’s a hugely popular ingredient to promote sleep and relaxation.

Turmeric: The only Trip drink that includes turmeric is the peach and ginger variety. As well as giving the drink a striking orange colour, turmeric is seen (particularly in India) as a medicinal herb, used for everything from hayfever to depression and itching. As with the ginseng, there isn’t yet much in the way of peer-reviewed evidence to support these beliefs.

Trip Drinks Review: Flavour By Flavour

In a moment, we’ll move on to the “effects” of Trip drinks, and discuss whether you notice any tangible benefits. But first, let’s look at something that’s arguably more important – what they taste like.

Trip Lemon Basil Drink

This particular drink provides exactly what it says on the can. It’s probably the most “herbal” of the three in terms of both aroma and flavour. It tastes of lemon, and it tastes of basil – so I guess we can say “mission accomplished!”

The flavour is in perfect balance, and it’s an agreeable herbal taste, not a nasty Jägermeister-like herbal taste!

I’m not convinced it would appeal to everybody, but I enjoy it very much.

VERDICT: 8/10

Trip Elderflower Mint

Until I tried Trip drinks, I had no idea that I would enjoy a drink that tastes – frankly – like Wrigley’s Spearmint chewing gum. It really does!

That may sound a bit odd, but it’s genuinely not a bad thing. I have to confess that I can’t taste much in the way of elderflower, but the overall flavour is really good. This is probably my favourite of the three.

VERDICT: 9/10

Trip Peach Ginger

The Peach Ginger is the one that includes turmeric, and as you can see from the photo near the top of this review, it gives the drink a very bright orange colour.

Flavour-wise it’s a strong ginger, but not an overly spicy ginger. It’s very refreshing, although the ginger overpowers the peach a little. It’s a mouth-filling taste, with a fresh aroma. I don’t know if it’s possible for something to “smell healthy,” but it kind of does.

I’m going to have to disappoint the hedonists reading this by saying that if you’re expecting Trip drinks to blast you into the stratosphere, you’re going to be sorely disappointed!

Despite the “Trip” name, these are very much a wellbeing product, and any “effects” will be subtle at best. Let’s be realistic, folks, they sell these in Sainsbury’s!

However, I like to test products throughly, and with an open mind. With that ethos, I drank several of these before creating my Trip Drinks review. I did so at times when I could have a good chance to really focus in on whether I “noticed anything,” such as when I was about to sit down for a period of uninterrupted work.

I first want to talk about the CBD. Something I’ve not revealed until now is that I am a regular (daily) user of CBD. I find it enormously helpful for my anxiety and general state of mind. I am strongly considering setting up a separate site to discuss it, and to review the products I use.

With that in mind, I do (for fear of sounding conceited) know a LOT about CBD. And one thing I know is that the dose of CBD needed to feel positive effects can vary wildly from person to person. I also know that – for most – the 15mg “dose” in a can of Trip is a pretty small one.

This is compounded by the bioavailability of CBD when you eat or drink it. That sounds awfully technical, but it essentially relates to how much of the substance is actually absorbed by the body. Some estimates are that it is as low as 4%.

This is why I vape my CBD, as it’s a much more “bioavailable” method of taking it. And I use much bigger doses than 15mg! That’s very much another story, but my point is that the 15mg dose in Trip (and, indeed, in almost every CBD drink on the market) is probably too low to really do much for many people.

This by no means implies that there’s anything disingenuous about the product or its marketing. All I’m saying is not to expect miracles, nor to assume CBD does nothing for you if this is the first and only such product you try.

The Other Botanical Ingredients

The other herbal ingredients in Trip are a blend intended to promote stress relief, relaxation and better digestion. I’ve tried most of them before – alone or in other products – at various times.

I have to say I was intrigued by the presence of chamomile. It’s something usually seen as a bedtime supplement, so I was concerned Trip would make me sleepy. Thankfully it didn’t.

I’ve generally been having a can of Trip mid afternoon. This is when I’d often reach for a second can of Diet Coke – a decision I frequently regret afterwards because it leaves me feeling washed-out and jittery.

Drinking Trip doesn’t suddenly make me feel “different.” It’s not like when I vape CBD, which can provide a really notable sense of calm, and a slowdown of racing thoughts. However, I do tend to feel focussed and quite “zen” after drinking Trip. It may be placebo, to an extent, but millions of people believe in these ingredients, and have done for hundreds of years.

My digestion has also been very good since I’ve been drinking these regularly. However, I should say that digestion doesn’t really give me much trouble anyway, since I quit drinking alcohol!

All in all, I have a “what’s not to like?” perception of these drinks. They taste good, they seem healthy, and they are clearly a better choice than more Diet Coke while I’m sitting at my desk.

I couldn’t swear that my focus and level of calm would be any different without them – but that goes for every supplement and health product out there!

Ingredients, Calories and Nutrition

Whenever I do a drinks review, I like to have a good look at the ingredients and nutritional information.

There’s nothing in Trip Drinks that seriously worries me. There’s water (it doesn’t specify spring water), fruit juices from concentrates, the CBD and botanicals, and steviol glycosides as the sweetener. One addition that many of the drinks I review do without is erythritol, a flavour enhancer – just so you know!

The drinks are 20 calories per can , so not much to concern you there. They are also vegan, and have no added sugar.

One thing that’s a bit of a shame is that other than the CBD, Trip don’t tell us the quantities of the ginseng, L-Theanine etc. That’s quite common in products like this, and presumably they don’t want to give away the trade secrets. However, it does leave you wondering how “meaningful” a quantity of those ingredients you’re consuming.

Presentation

I only include a presentation section in these reviews when there’s something positive to say. While the presentation didn’t blow me away as much as when I did my review of Jukes Coridalities , the drinks do come in a nice box with a leaflet, when you buy a small mixed case. This is shown in the earlier photos.

Ethics and Eco Credentials

Trip Drinks come with 100% recyclable packaging, and everything is made in the UK.

I always find it interesting to see what these “craft” brands do to contribute to wider society. While I didn’t see anything on the website about charity initiatives or donations, the company does offer some discounts – for healthcare workers, key workers, and 18-25s.

This is a great initiative, and it follows the lead of lots of US-based CBD businesses, which are generally a little more evolved than those here in the UK.

As we near the end of this Trip Drinks review, we come to the all important question of price.

As with many things, the price goes down for larger orders. If you buy a case of 24 cans, this costs £39, which works out to £1.63 per can. If you buy a pack of six (which is also available as a mix with all three flavours), this costs £14 – or £2.33 per can.

I think the pricing is well pitched – it’s not cheap, but it’s not luck-pushingly expensive either. And plenty of artisan drink makers DO push their luck on price.

Trip Drinks Coupon Codes

Use can use the following code to make savings on drinks and other products from the Trip website:

Use code AFFTRIP15 here to save 15% on spends over £50

As I said at the start of my review, the way I truly judge a product is whether I buy it again after my initial order.

Well, I’m pleased to say I’m now on my second box of Trip Drinks, and I think they’re going to end up in my permanent rotation.

As somebody who doesn’t drink alcohol, it’s nice to have some alternatives in my armoury. I’m thankful to live in a time when there are SO many options, with more coming to the marketplace all the time.

Don’t expect some earth-shattering effect from the CBD and other ingredients. If you notice anything it will be subtle, not profound. However, they do seem to make me feel rather “zen.” They also have great flavour. They are pleasantly “different,” without being too weird to be enjoyable!

Where To Buy Trip Drinks

Trip drinks are available across the UK, and I’ve even seen them in my local Sainsbury’s – but the easiest place to get them is on the company’s website. Pleasingly, UK shipping is free, and the company also ships internationally.

15 thoughts on “Trip Drinks Review: Is This Botanical Beverage Worth It?”

This was a great review thank you. As someone who is looking to go alcohol free it’s lovely to see drinks on offer that can replace alcohol without having to order a lemonade!

Hi Lucy, You’ll find plenty of other alcohol-free alternatives on the site too 🙂

Best wishes,

Is anyone able to tell me how much turmeric is in one drink please?

I don’t know off hand Lisa, I’m afraid, but I will look on the can next time I have some in the house!

Thank you for your detailed review. It is really helpful to have such detailed insight. I do have an issue with their discount policy. I find the notion that only certain workers are “key” distasteful. Why are not factory workers processing food, or bus drivers, or indeed anyone providing a service key and thus entitled to a discount. The fact that they offer NHS workers and healthcare workers a 50% discount tells me the drinks are way over priced for everyone. Again thanks for your review on the content of the these drinks.

I am a recovering alcoholic.. are these safe for me, as obviously concerned about the CPD .. thank you as don’t think these are mind altering, plus it could be a good promotion 😉thank you

Hi Pat – I’m reluctant to give you a firm answer on that. I’ve been sober for over two years, and drink these as well as alcohol free beers and all kinds of similar things. But I know that some alcoholics find NA beers triggering – so no two people are the same. I don’t honestly THINK Trip would cause you a problem, and it certainly doesn’t make me feel “altered” – but everybody’s different. 🙂

Hi Ben, excellent article, thank you.

I’m interested in starting with CBD and your mention of a vaping solution intrigued me… Please can you let me know any recommendations you have in this area?

Hi Andy – If you’re in the UK, I’d suggest having a look at products from HighKind and Orange County CBD.

Thanks for this review. I’ll probably give these Trip drinks a trial based on what you’ve written. Thanks also for your other reviews. Reading them has eaten up a big chunk of my afternoon! I’ve been on the wagon since February and tried a few options: red wine (both went down well – down the sink that is); no alc gin (Gordon’s is OK but it’s just a herby drink really. I shove lots of ice, some fresh mint and tonic in there and pretend it’s a mojito). Beer is the most successful. I notice you didn’t mention (though you’ve probably sampled) Adnam’s Ghost Ship 0.5 (full flavoured with a slight citrus finish) and my favourite so far, Erdinger Alkoholfrei 0.5 (very much like a pilsner so softer on the palate). Thanks again for your encouraging, informative and well-written pieces.

Hi Jeff – thanks for reading and glad you’ve enjoyed my articles!

Yes, I’m familiar with the Ghost Ship and like it a lot, especially on the rare occasions when I find it on draft 🙂 The Erdinger is good too. Brookly Special Effects is one I’m particularly enjoying right now, along with Clear Head, from Bristol Brewery, which also donates money to mental health charities.

All the best, Ben

Ps. For non alcoholic gin, my wife and I have both been impressed with Tanqueray.

My husband is really struggling with anxiety at the moment and I was hoping these drinks might be the answer for him. However, you said about the dose not really being enough for most people. Vape isn’t something he would consider, are there any other alternatives that could be more successful?

I think anxiety is a huge problem for many people at the moment, especially those of us living through these grim times in the UK.

You could maybe start him off with Trip’s CBD oil , which will give a much stronger effect, and he will be able to experiment with the dosage. Here’s my affiliate link 🙂

It’s worth trying to use the code AFFTRIPCASH – which should give you 15% off spends over £35.

I’ve found CBD hugely helpful for anxiety – if nothing else it can help with sleep. However, it’s not a miracle cure. I’ve had some bad anxiety myself recently that CBD hasn’t been enough to fix – but I think it’s largely situational and being surrounded by such doom and gloom. It’s certainly worth a try!

All the best to you both.

Can you drink trip if you’re on warfarin

Hi Richard,

You would need to check that with your doctor. I cannot provide medical advice and I’m almost certain any CBD company would say the same.

Satisfying product

Well my wife bought Trip drink I drink I like the test so look for websites I ordered Trip CBD oil and drink Ido like it both I’am very happy I will continue buying TRIP products 5 star happy

Date of experience : 09 June 2024

Size of Bottle Not Clear

Unfortunately had to knock a star off :-( The size of the actual bottle is misleading. After previously buying Dream Drops, which turned up in 30ml bottle, I believe the Orange Blossom & Chamomile would be the same. It is not, it is half the size 15ml. On another note TRIP products being sold on the Holland & Barrett website make the size of the bottle completely obvious. I still think TRIP products are great just a little disappointed that the size of bottle isn't clear.

Worst company I have ever dealt with

Refused to cancel an order I didn't place! Haven't received the products and they're refusing to refund! So they've taken my money (from a cancelled bank card, no less?!) products taste truly awful, IF you actually receive them in the first place

Wonderful Brand

Trip is such a wonderful brand that really has brought more calm and presence into my life. My favourite of the drinks are the Lemon & Basil CBD can (great with pasta dishes or over ice on a hot day), and the Raspberry & Orange Blossom 'calm down' can, which really helps me to relax and drift off at night (don't be put off by the apple cider vinegar smell - it doesn't taste of it!). I recently switched from the 1,000mg CBD oil at night to the 3,000mg Dream Drops. When I first ordered the Dream Drops, I was disappointed that the price was so much higher and didn't seem to truly reflect the strength increase. When my order arrived, the bottle was significantly larger than my previous 1,000mg bottles, and the bottle lasts twice as long! I struggle with insomnia and unrefreshed sleep due to fibromyalgia and surgical menopause, but the Dream Drops have really helped to improve my sleep. I can't wait to try the magnesium-blend drinks, and I'd love to see more lifestyle accessories in the future!

Superb customer service

Had a few of their drinks from supermarkets and they taste amazing so I thought I buy it from their website. Sadly I had issues with the deliveries but their customer service team is absolutely brilliant and after all the inconvenience, I still highly recommend them and their drinks/oils!

So far so good 😊

Taken the plunge to come off of my anxiety tablets (at medical advice) But I still have dull days. Just received my order today, had one of the drinks and tried the orange blossom drops and within half an hour I can feel a difference! Very calming, and general life seems a lot more tolerable 😂 Will judge long term and update! Thanks Trip!

Bought the Trip elderflower mint drink

Bought the Trip elderflower mint drink. I know it says mint but it is so overwhelming mint and there is a bitter aftertaste. Not pleasant

Fabulous Customer Service

I haven't received my first order yet as I mistakenly auto filled my old address in delivery details. Contacted customer services and offered to pay any additional delivery charges - Olive came back very quickly to say they'd happily send me a new box out free of charge. What brilliant CS!! Thank you Trip

Love these drinks

Love these drinks! Love having the subscription turn up, and it's really easy to skip a month if needed like I did when I went away. I don't love the shipping they use Huboo which was unhelpful with a delivery query but the products themselves are fab.

Funky taste but amazing nights sleep

I’ve tried the other trip drinks and not been taken with them, they didn’t do the job replacing alcohol. got the heavier one and despite being quite shocked by the taste ( it’s like vinegar with sugar in it) I had an amazing nights sleep and woke up really rested. It only works for me if I take a magnesium with it. Without it nothing happens. It does have magnesium in it but obviously not enough for me. The funky taste grows on you especially as you know you’re going to get a great nights sleep. I have no problem falling asleep but I’ve always woken up in the night. I didn’t buy it to help with sleep so I’m very pleasantly surprised.

Date of experience : 25 February 2024

Absolutely love these drinks!

Absolutely love these drinks! I'm not a fan of normal fizzy drinks or flavoured waters and get very bored with plain water to drink. These are fab if you want something that maybe tastes a bit like a cocktail (pour over ice and enjoy!) and help chill you out a bit. Also a great alternative if you're not wanting to drink anything alcoholic but want something a bit tasty that's not sweet or boring!

Reply from TRIP Drinks

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed them Jane 💛

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I’m now a regular customer of Trip having found nothing but amazing benefits from using their CBD oil to control my anxiety. It’s not a cure but it does dissipate those awful butterflies enough for you to get hold of things in a natural and far more beneficial way. Have been recommending Trip to my friends and family too. The drinks are also a really nice and refreshing addition to your more stressful days. Take a deep breath, breathe deeply and enjoy your Trip.xx

We're so happy to hear this Sophie! Thank you for sharing your experience 😍

Thank you, Trip!

I have no idea what I'd do without my trip! Really gentle way to mellow out in times of stress/ busyness/ wanting to wind down. Love the dosage options and flavours available, alongside the extra ingredients to enhance CBDs natural effect. Plus- you can't go wrong with pink packaging !

Date of experience : 12 September 2023

Pink is always a winner Natasha! Thank you for sharing this review :)

I love this product, my favourite is the elderflower and mint, I’ve tried all the others and that’s the one I like best. A great alternative to alcohol and a different way to unwind

Date of experience : 27 March 2024

First time trying Trip

Tried Trip for the first time after getting a promotional code for signing up for a monthly subscription. I got the pack of 6, with the 3 different flavours, the mint and elderflower takes some getting used to but the peach and ginger is lovely! I’m not sure I felt the full effect after 1 can so I’m keeping my subscription to up my intake and see what happens. Great price though for a great product and delivered earlier than expected too.

Date of experience : 22 August 2023

Thank you so much for the feedback Louise! Dosing is really personal - similar to how caffeine or alcohol can affect everyone differently. Feel free to start with a lower regular dose (15-30MG per serving) then note how you feel and top up with additional drinks or oils if needed. For context, our CBD drinks contain 15MG per can, our 300MG CBD oils contain 20MG per dropper, and our 1000MG oils contain 66MG per dropper 💛

CBD newbie... A lifetime convert

Great introductory offer and what a great company and product. Delivery was fast, the product itself is superb quality. The subscription is easy to change and good value for money. Never tried cbd before but the calm it gives without tiredness or brain fog is tremendous. I don't think I'll ever stop taking it, but it's helped bin the alcohol.

Date of experience : 11 September 2023

So happy we can be helping you to find your calm Lucie!

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service! The products they sell of the best quality. Tastes really good! No nasty ingredients. 5* all the way! Highly recommend to try if out you still haven’t.

Date of experience : 23 March 2024

Brilliant alternative to alcohol!

Absolutely love Trip drinks and so pleased there’s now a subscription service with a lower price. Also really pleased with the new Duo drinks packs with Elderflower & Mint and Lemon & Basil (Ginger and Peach is nice, but you can’t taste the peach at all… so my least favourite of the 3). Also to say, I now reach for these instead of wine and they’ve played a significant part in keeping me booze free.

Welcome to The Calm Club! What a great review to receive, thank you so much for sharing!

I love these drinks as an anytime daily…

I love these drinks as an anytime daily drink but also a substitute for alcohol. I felt the benefits of the CBD oil after using it over a few weeks, mainly to sleep quality and a calmer mood! As a nutritionist @nourishedforlife I look for quality ingredients and Trip ticked many boxes for me, in fact I recommend it to my clients! ✌🏼

Date of experience : 15 September 2023

So glad you're enjoying and recommending to your clients Kam!

Good experience of products and service

I took advantage of an introductory package and am enjoying trying the TRIP drops and drinks. I am particularly impressed with the drinks which are unusual but sophisticated flavours and I have noticed that I feel like I am having an indulgent treat when I open one and relax in the evening. I feel calm and "at one with the world" without that heavy fuzzy feeling from alcohol. My favourite is the Elderflower and Mint. I would certainly recommend the drinks. Its hard to comment on the drops as its only my first week but I will keep using them and then see whether to reorder.

Date of experience : 23 August 2023

Thank you so much the amazing feedback Jacqueline 💛

Trip CBD drinks & oils review (our honest thoughts)

3 minute read

Updated February 15th, 2024

TRIP is a CBD brand based in the UK. We first heard about TRIP after seeing their CBD drinks stocked in a few supermarkets like Sainsbury's , but after conducting a bit of research we realised that their CBD oils are also very popular.

For this reason we decided to conduct a review of TRIP CBD products. We'll be taking a look at their products and third-party reviews, let's get into it:

Who is TRIP?

There is a nice 'Our Story' section on the TRIP website that provides you with a bit of background about the TRIP team. The brand was founded by couple Dan and Live was back in 2019. Dan suffered a knee injury weeks before the pair were supposed to get married, and he needed something to get him back on his feet and up the aisle without hobbling. He tried CBD and found it to be effective for his recovery. So once the marriage papers had been signed, Dan and Liv wasted no time in starting their own CBD brand.

We love this backstory because it comes from a genuine place and we recommend you check out the 'About Us' page for the full story.

Are the TRIP CBD products (drinks & oils) good?

TRIP is perhaps best known for their CBD drinks, but they do have CBD oils also. Let's start with the CBD drinks:

TRIP has 3 lightly sparkling drinks and a cold-brew coffee that you can choose from. Flavours include elderflower mint (pictured here), peach ginger (pictured at the top) and lemon basil. Each can contains around 15mg of CBD which is a nice dosage, and they're all also low-calorie too (19 calories in a can of the elderflower mint). Unlike many CBD drinks that we see, these are lab-tested and contain absolutely no added sugar, which is impressive.

Likewise, the cold-brew coffee contains 15mg of CBD and is made with Guatemalan specialty grade coffee brewed for 24 hours in East London.

What about the TRIP CBD oils?

If you'd rather check out the CBD oils then TRIP also have a pretty good range - you can choose between 4 different CBD oils with 2 different flavours (Wild Mint or Orange Blossom). Strengths are either 300mg or 1000mg of CBD per bottle. These products are also third-party tested and made in the UK.

Overall we're really impressed with this range and recommend you explore it for yourself.

What are the TRIP third-party reviews like?

TRIP collects reviews for their CBD products directly on their product pages which is really convenient. As you can see from the screenshot we've included, their products are highly rated - including the Wild Mint CBD oil which has a near-perfect score from over 60 reviews. We recommend you explore the product pages for yourself so check those out.

In Conclusion

The TRIP brand is perhaps best known for their range of CBD drinks, but they also have some awesome CBD oils. Definitely check these products out!

This review was published by the CBD Bible team. We publish hundreds of reviews every month, feel free to explore our website for more reviews and CBD guides.

I tried Trip CBD drinks for Dry January and they cured my hangxiety

I t happens every year - we promise ourselves that we’ll stick to dry January, but the buzz of New Year and the long weeks ahead makes the strongest of us second guess. However, more and more people are ditching alcohol for low or no alcohol alternatives.

If you’re looking for something satisfying that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re missing out then the CBD drinks from Trip might be the perfect thing for you. The rise of non-alcoholic drinks has taken over the market, but CBD infused drinks can give you the helping hand of relaxation you're after without giving you a hangover.

You might find yourself asking, what even is a CBD drink? CBD drinks are everywhere and CBD infused products have broken into the mainstream, but what is actually in it.

• I found the best replacement for a pint in time for dry January
• Mrs Hinch's tips on getting house back in order after Christmas chaos

In short, CBD drinks are infused with cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive element of hemp and cannabis plants. CBD drinks do not contain any THC which is the compound which makes you feel ‘high’. Instead, there is more and more evidence to suggest that CBD drinks help you relax, making it a great alternative for a glass of wine after a long day at work.

CBD drinks have become so popular in recent months that even celebrities are partnering with companies. Radio presenter and mental health advocate Roman Kemp has endorsed Trip drinks saying they’ve helped him relax and unwind without the fear of a hangover.

Trip is founded by a couple who found pre-wedding-stress respite in CBD oils, Trip drinks are one of the most widely available CBD drinks in the UK. Their drinks are made in the UK using lab-tested CBD and come in a range of refreshing flavours.

As someone who slightly overindulged during the festive season, I was keen to find out more about CBD drinks and how they would make me feel - if anything at all. And I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. My expectations were not overly high, I didn’t think they would give me the same buzz and sense of relaxation that is familiar after an alcoholic drink, but they did.

The Trip CBD comes in four flavours, Lemon Basil, Peach Ginger, Elderflower Mint and Cold Brew Coffee . I didn’t try the coffee flavour, but I did try the other three and one was definitely my favourite.

All of the drinks come in a sleek, pastel coloured can. The branding is clear and simple, and has a cool, single line doodle in the same, monochromatic colours. They really stand out but in a muted kind of way - the branding has been really thought out and makes you want to try them.

All the flavours I tried were sparkling, which meant they were great for replacing the bubbles of a prosecco. My favourite is the Peach Ginger, it’s perfectly balanced with the right amount of ginger kick without overpowering the whole drink. The Lemon Basil drink is reminiscent of a virgin mojito, very refreshing and light and I imagine this flavour will go down perfectly in the summer sun. The Elderflower Mint flavour was similarly nice - not overpowering and a great fresh taste.

None of the drinks have a weird aftertaste, which is what I expected. There is no way of knowing you’re drinking a CBD drink other than the packaging. Apart from tasting great, they also left me feeling very relaxed without feeling impaired. The CBD didn’t make me feel the same as a glass of wine, but I was noticeably relaxed and happier.

The drinks are not packed full of sugar either like a lot of other mocktail and alcohol free drinks, so you don’t get a sugar crash after an hour. All the drinks contain premium CBD , together with specific active ingredients including green tea extract, lemon balm and chamomile, which are blended into each product for best effect.

Of course, it was great to be relaxed knowing that there was no risk of a dreaded hangover or the accompanying hangxiety. While I can’t imagine I’ll be going teetotal anytime soon, Trip drinks are a great alternative if you’re looking to unwind after a long week but don’t want to spend the next day full of dread.

The end of the festive period, freezing weather and slow start to January is always a struggle, and if you’re looking at trying something new this year, I recommend you try the CBD drinks from Trip . The drinks are a great way to break boozy habits and kick start feeling healthier and happier. You can also find Trip CBD drinks in major retailers like, Boots, Sainsbury’s, Holland and Barrett and Waitrose.

Review: Trip CBD drinks to replace alcohol?

Like a lot of people, lockdown (parts 1 through 3) left me with some pretty unhealthy habits; I’m not a fan of places that are too crowded any more, if I have to go and work in an office I need at least a week to gear myself up, we ordered far to many take aways and we drank way too much. I mean, what else was there to do at weekends right? So after a couple of lovely holidays earlier this year and a very boozy pre birthday weekend in London, we decided we just needed to calm down a little bit a do a little it of a reset. Problem was, that Friday night glass of wine, the segway drug from the working week into the weekend was one of my favourite times of the week, and that was going to be a big miss for me. So we decided to give Trip CBD drinks a go!

I’d seen Trip drinks advertised on instagram and a couple of friends had tried them with good reviews, so perhaps they were the answer to my Friday night prayers?

So, we hot footed it over to our local Holland and Barratt , where thankfully they had all three flavours; Peach Ginger, Elderflower Mint, and Lemon Basil. And it depends how you like your fruit to herb ratio but for me, they are too strong on the herby side and not that strong on the fruit side. Particularly the peach one, I love peach flavoured things and can’t stand ginger so sadly this one was a no go for me. The Elderflower Mint one was probably my favourite, with lots of ice and in a gin glass, it tasted a lot like a Mojito.

CBD (cannabidiol) is the non-psychoactive compound found in hemp plants but unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)it doesn’t get you high Which is probably a good thing because the last time I ate too many muffins on a trip to Amsterdam it didn’t end well – I did have the best nights sleep over though! It’s also safe to drink any time and tolerances can differ, much like caffeine and alcohol, so probably better you try one and see how you get on before pounding a six pack before work.

We shared the three cans between the two of us, but, the magic question, did they work? For me, sadly no, as in, they certainly didn’t replace that whit wine buzz on a Friday night. Did they calm me down and make me feel a bit more chilled out? Yeah, a little bit. I would buy them again, especially now they’re also available in Asda and we can get them as part of our weekly shop, but probably more for a Sunday or a midweek when I feel like I need calming down a bit when I wouldn’t be drinking alcohol anyway.

So it’s not a sufficient replacement for alcohol in my humble opinion however still think it probably has a place in my life anyway now and again, when then pressures of being a medicore blogging with dwindling stats gets on top of me!

Trip CBD Oil Review

Our bodies have an endocannabinoid system that plays a crucial role in regulating bodily functions. Trip CBD was founded in 2019 and is becoming one of the UK’s leading premium CBD brands dedicated to sharing only the highest quality CBD products to fit into your lifestyle and to find calm amidst the everyday chaos. Their products include CBD-infused soft drinks, CBD oils , and CBD-infused cold brew coffee.

Trip uses CBD derived from the hemp plant and their products are infused with potent natural botanicals to aid digestion, immunity, and stress relief. Trip tests their Trip drinks and Trip oils in a third-party lab test to ensure that they are THC-free and of the highest quality and purity. Here are the pros and cons of Trip CBD.

• Gluten-free
• Palm-oil free
• Easy to administer and accessible
• Great flavours
• Packed with natural adaptogens
• Many different types of products are available
• Bad customer service 
• Bad tracking service
• Little to no mention of possible adverse effects

Trip Review: Assessment Points

You can buy the best CBD products by clearly understanding why you’re purchasing it. When choosing CBD products, you should take into consideration these important points including the source of CBD, the reputation of the manufacturer, how the hemp is farmed to know if the CBD was grown or produced without the use of pesticides, how the CBD products are created, as well as focusing on the safety and purity of CBD products. 

White label or direct manufacturer

Fortunately, Trip is a direct manufacturer of CBD and their CBD is sourced from hemp farms in Europe. Their manufacturing facilities are based in the UK as well.

ISO Certified

Organisations with an ISO certification work to a prescribed set of requirements. They will have processes, procedures, and policies in place to create an environment that produces a consistent set of outputs. However, there is no legal requirement to have an ISO certification.

Trip CBD is not ISO certified yet. This might be a problem for some customers as this can determine if the products are of high quality.

Choosing an organic CBD oil without additives is important because it indicates that a product is both safe to use and better for the environment. CBD extracted from organic hemp is also more likely to be free from pesticides, heavy metals, and other harmful toxins.

Trip’s CBD is extracted from organically grown hemp which means that they are grown without the use of pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

Strain of hemp

Trip CBD uses the same strain for their CBD products. Using multiple strains of hemp can affect the level of CBD from product to product, whereas using only a single type of hemp will provide a more predictable level of CBD and other cannabinoids.

Ingredients

Trip’s CBD oils are made from organic hemp in Europe and also made with premium CBD, MCT oil extracted from coconuts before being combined with natural botanicals such as chamomile. Similar to other CBD products, Trip’s CBD also contains other ingredients for added taste, consistency, and other health benefits. Trip CBD oils range in two flavours: orange and wild mint. Both flavoured oils contain broad-spectrum CBD oil.  

Third-party lab testing is when a manufacturing company sends its product to an outside unbiased lab for testing to see if it meets the standards of the company, and to ensure that what is on the label is actually inside the product.

Trip’s CBD products have been third-party lab tested to ensure that they are THC-free and of the highest quality and purity. Their products are also gluten-free, palm-oil free, vegan, and packed with natural adaptogens. 

Communication

Trip can be contacted through their email address, Instagram account, and phone number. However, a lot of Trip customers have reported bad customer service and claim that the company does not respond to emails.  

Customer Feedback

Probably the most important thing to consider when you want to buy CBD products is customer feedback. On Trustpilot, Trip CBD currently has a rating of 3.1 or 3 out of 5 stars. 50% of the 14 reviews said that the products are excellent, 7% rated them as great while 43% rated them as bad due to the poor customer service. On the reviews section of their main website, they have a rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Trip Products Review

Voted by Grazia as the ‘UK’s BEST CBD OIL’, and the UK’s top favourite CBD drinks, The company offers Trip CBD oil as well as Trip CBD drinks that claim to leave customers feeling more relaxed. 

Trip provides THC-free CBD formulated with broad-spectrum hemp extract containing the full range of cannabinoids and terpenes, and other beneficial compounds that work together with CBD. Their products contain coconut MCT oil to help the body absorb CBD. Additionally, Trip’s products are unique for not having a bitter taste and containing other beneficial plant-based ingredients such as chamomile and L-theanine.

Product Prices: 

Trip CBD stands up very well when it comes to prices. We sell their CBD oils for £26 (300mg) and £49 (1000mg) for a one-time purchase. For a 2-month subscription, you can get their CBD oils for £24.70/month and £46.55/month, with a minimum of 2 months subscription, which is much more affordable than other brands selling CBD oils in the UK with prices ranging from £64.99-£219.99     

Product Packaging:

Trip CBD products are packed in sweet, candy-coloured packaging, detailed with cool, line drawings. Their CBD trip drinks are packed in coloured bottles that look chic and minimalist, with their own tagline - “Take a TRIP to find your calm” which makes them very appealing to a millennial and Gen Z audience. 

Trip Website Review

Trip’s website is very easy to navigate. The products are organized well and the font that they used is big so words are easily seen. The main page also shows what products are the best selling, new and limited. The colours they used for their website are soft and candy-coloured. They have also a very comprehensive and informative blog where you can see the different ways you can take CBD, and its overall health benefits, along with detailed information on how it can affect you depending on how you want to take it. They also provide links for their social media accounts, and student, key workers and youth discounts. 

Trip manages to keep things clear and simple but very fun to read. Their tone is very quirky and fun which would be very appealing to the youth since that’s mainly their target market. Their tone doesn’t sound very serious but very conversational.

Trip offers a wide range of offers and discounts available. They offer the “Give £5, Get £5” wherein you can refer Trip products to a friend by signing up on their website then they will provide you with a referral link. They also have exclusive group discounts wherein customers ages 18-25, key workers, and healthcare providers are given 20% off by providing the necessary details to verify their status. You can also subscribe to their newsletter to get their latest offers.

CBD Shopy Conclusion

Trip offers products with CBD that are packed with natural adaptogens, vegan, THC-free, palm oil-free, and gluten-free. Their CBD products are made with organically grown hemp and packed with all the potential benefits you can get from taking CBD-infused products. They have great flavours that appeal not only to adults but to the youth as well.

However, Trip does not have an ISO certification yet, and this might be a problem for some customers as this is one of the things that they look at first when buying products that have potential adverse effects like CBD. Also, their customer service is not one of the best. Some reviews mention how they don’t answer customer emails and this can leave customers with a bad experience.

Overall, Trip is a very good brand and it’s really worth the hype. Taking a daily dose of CBD will not only to adults experiencing health issues but also the youth who want to improve their sleep, make them calm, and just improve their overall wellness. The flavours taste amazing and their branding is very new, fun, and appealing to customers of all ages.

Daytrip Sparkling Water Review: Our Trip with Daytrip [Overall Score: 7.3/10]

We at Remedy Journey are sort of CBD sparkling drink aficionados at this point: we’ve reviewed GT’s Dream Catcher , Lagunitas , Sprig , and now it’s the turn of another stalwart in the CBD-infused drink world, Daytrip.

Background: Who is Daytrip?

Daytrip has already become one of the best known and best distributed up-and-coming CBD drink brands in the country, despite only releasing their line of CBD-infused drinks in summer 2019.

Like many other prominent CBD drink brands (including Vybes and Mary Joe Coffee ), they’re Californian through and through: birthed in the sunshine state, with a surfer, summertime aesthetic that’s bright and bold. 

Daytrip puts their focus on the quality of the CBD and it’s absorption, rather than the amount. They use a unique nano-emulsification method for maximum bioavailability, and their drinks are focused on health and wellness in other ways as well.

How? Keep reading to find out. 

Daytrip Sparkling Water CBD Drink Review

Taste score: 7/10.

Does the drink taste bueno or no bueno?

As I said, we’ve tried a number of CBD sparkling waters, and while sparkling waters in general tend to not be my favorite drinks taste wise, I wasn’t a fan of the taste of these drinks in particular. I found them to be too acidic and not, well, tasty enough. These drinks come in the following flavors: 

• Coconut Pineapple

Sounds good right? But the flavors didn’t really come through, and there was a bit too much sparkle. It almost tasted closer to an unflavored sparkling water than a flavored one. 

Value Score: 7.5/10

How much CBD bang are you getting for your buck?

A 12-pack of Daytrip Sparkling Waters costs $59, which rounds out to about $5 per can. At 10mg of CBD each, these comes in at a slightly below average value: drinks like Sprig and GT’s Dream Catcher offer the same amount of CBD or more (25mg, in the case of GT’s) for less money (Sprig is $2.50 a can, and GT’s $3.99 a bottle).

So for value, you can find better elsewhere. 

Health score: 8/10

How committed is this brand to health and wellness? We look at all the ingredients.

This area is probably Daytrip’s biggest strength. First off, these drinks are only 5 calories with no sugar and no carbohydrates. They also use what they call “Foliole Nexus Technology,” which is their fancy word for nano-emulsification, an increasingly-popular method of creating CBD drinks that involves shrinking the size of the CBD particles to make them water soluble and thus more easy to absorb. 

Daytrip then infuses each drink with a proprietary blend of terpenes, which is interesting and unique but begs the question: if they wanted the drink to include terpenes, why not use full-spectrum CBD (which naturally includes terpenes and other cannabinoids) rather than using CBD isolate and adding terpenes in after? 

Besides the CBD extract and terpenes, the only other ingredient of note is a small amount of MCT oil. 

Relief Score: 8/10

Many of us consume CBD to relieve ailments. Does this product provide effective relief?

Daytrip claims that their CBD blend is more easily absorbed and thus more potent. So, now to the big question: did it work, did the nano-emulsification make it more potent? I actually found that this drink DID provide a bit more of a potent CBD punch than comparable 10mg CBD drinks like Sprig. 

Some drinks have so much CBD that it can almost weigh you down and damage your productivity, but Daytrip hit a nice sweet spot of relief and productivity. 

X-Factor: 6.5/10

What makes this drink special? Does it promote productivity or focus? Does it get one “lit”?

In this section we typically touch on any other productivity, focus, or health-promoting ingredients, but like Sprig and Lagunitas Hi Fi Hops, there’s not much to speak of besides CBD in these drinks.

We also like to discuss the style and design of the drink in this section, and while these do have a bright and bold color scheme and design behind them, we still prefer the minimalist design of Recess or Vybes.

Final Verdict: 7.3/10

Let’s put it all together: what’s our overall take on this drink?

Going in, I wasn’t sure where exactly these drinks stood in the CBD-infused drink landscape, and after trying them out I’m still not sure. They don’t have the extreme price point of many other CBD-infused drinks (which regularly run up to $8-10), but they’re more expensive than the bottom-tier drinks (think Sprig) without offering much more in terms of CBD amount or other health-promoting ingredients. 

If you have the choice, we’d recommend GT’s sparkling water for better quality or Sprig for better value.

“ Happy I purchased this as well as the wild mint. I wasn’t sure at first since I only like mint CBD but very happy I got this. It’s delicious and works great. Also perfect for concentration ”

Agatha Cwalina-5Kyf

“ Like a lot of new customers, I was sceptical about how it worked. I needn’t have worried. I have painful osteoarthritis in my finger joints and knees and I am very stressed at work. I use the drinks and the orange blossom CBD oil and I am now not in as much pain and chilled enough at work to perform at a higher standard, as I’m able to focus. If you’re sceptical, then I advise you to try it, you won’t be disappointed! ”

Review of Orange Blossom CBD Oil 300MG

“ Can’t believe I’ve put off getting onto cbd oil for this long! I got onto it predominantly for anxiety and am amazed at how subtle and effective it is. My sleep has gone from good to great and my back pain has reduced significantly. I can’t imagine not using it and I’ve only been using it for about 3 weeks. I’ll go for the stronger oil next time I think. The original was perfect to start me off and get used to it. ”

Andrea Flutter-NAq0

“ The Trip CBD1000mg tastes really great compared to the pond water I have had before…I think it works…hard to tell as I haven’t stopped using it…It seems to just even things out a bit. Definitely as good as the other stuff I was taking but tastes way better and packaging is lovely…I would buy again for sure but it does get costly…I don’t know if it I would bother taking the weaker variety. Would recommend. ”

10 Best CBD Oils of 2024: Top CBD Brands Reviewed

After carefully reviewing and testing dozens of the top cbd brands, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best cbd oils to buy in 2024..

Often imitated but never duplicated, Colorado Botanicals tops our list of the best CBD oil from all the leading CBD brands we’ve examined. However, nine other companies offer CBD oil products at comparable quality to most cannabidiol extracts sold online—albeit not quite on par with Colorado Botanicals. With the industry constantly changing, so do our rankings. Below is our updated list of the ten best CBD oils to buy in 2024 after reviewing hundreds of CBD products.

Choosing the right full-spectrum, isolate, or broad-spectrum CBD oil is a huge undertaking that could result in costly disappointments. This is particularly important in an industry that is so underregulated and where many companies use similar marketing strategies.

The good news is that we’ve researched for you and vetted the best CBD oil to buy in 2024. Whether you’re looking for the best full-spectrum CBD oil, the best CBD oil for pain, or the best CBD oil for everyday use, our reviews will help you purchase with confidence.

Below is our 2024 list of the ten best CBD oils to buy in 2024.

Best CBD Oil to Buy in 2024: Ranked

Each of our selected vendors offers some excellent CBD tinctures. It’s easy to find the best full-spectrum, isolate, or broad-spectrum cannabis plant extracts, whether you want to use CBD for pain, relaxation, anxiety or anything else.

• Colorado Botanicals – Best CBD Oil & Highest Rated
• NuLeaf Naturals – Best Whole Plant Tinctures
• Lazarus Naturals – Best by Price and Value
• Bluebird Botanicals – Quality CBD Oil
• CBDistillery – Best CBD Isolate Tinctures

Bonus Reviews

       6. Charlotte’s Web – Best CBD Oil for Beginners        7. Medterra – Best With THC        8. Elixinol – Best High-Potency CBD Oil        9. Populum – Best Organic CBD Oils       10. Cornbread Hemp 

Best CBD Oils

Many factors go into our list, including the cannabinoids and terpenes involved. To objectively identify the best CBD brands on the market, we focus on specific benchmarks or milestones. As a result, we provide an objective analysis of the best CBD oils available. Ultimately, it depends on the customer’s needs. Some people want a better overall hemp extract, while others zero in on a few “dealbreakers.” We’ll address these factors and more.

Third-Party Lab Testing

As CBD is unregulated, it’s critical to get third-party lab reports to confirm that the CBD oil is free of heavy metals, pesticides, solvents and microbes. Additionally, there are concerns about mislabeling.

Lab tests confirm information such as:

• Cannabinoids and terpenes
• CBD per serving
• Total CBD per bottle

While scientific evidence may support the efficacy of cannabidiol and other cannabis sativa plant extracts, the flavor can be tough to overcome. But while some consumers may dismiss it as a normal “hempy” taste, it can also indicate trace solvents and substandard purification methods.

Brand Reputation

Brands can gain a reputation in many different ways. A CBD company with a long history is more likely to offer a better experience than a company just getting off the ground—emphasis on “likely.” We’ll see shortly how bigger isn’t always better. In addition to product quality and customer service, we vet vendors through independent reviews. Brand credibility is greatly enhanced by a large amount of mostly positive feedback. When an overwhelming majority of customers have recommended CBD products, there’s a good chance clients will enjoy them as well.

Extraction & Purification

CBD hemp oil manufacturers typically use three extraction methods. They are as follows:

• CO2 Extraction
• Hydrocarbon (propane or butane)

Despite their pros and cons, CO2 is the safest and best method for extracting CBD, but it is also the most expensive. Additionally, ethanol extraction has some drawbacks, and hydrocarbon extraction is the worst method for extracting CBD. However, the last two extraction methods may leave trace solvent traces behind.

Transparency

Transparency is a rare thing in many industries. Knowing where a CBD product comes from is essential since individuals regularly consume it. Organic hemp plants produce the best CBD oils, whether full-spectrum hemp extracts, broad-spectrum oils, or isolates.

“Organically-grown,” “organic” and “certified organic” are commonly used by CBD companies to describe their hemp sources. Although these labels differ slightly, they imply that hemp farmers do not use synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. With the right genetics, hemp plants produce more potent cannabinoids and terpenes, generating more essential cannabis compounds.

Blind Product Testing

The most scientifically reliable way to evaluate CBD tinctures is through blind product testing.  Our goal is to be objective, but human nature makes that difficult. Blind product testing is effective at removing that human variable. We stripped identifying features from over 40 CBD oil vendors, including labels and designs, so our CBD oil testers could avoid bias.

We’ve also dug a little deeper into the top brands:

• Which labs tested their products and their accreditation
• Source of hemp
• CBD oil extraction method
• Company certifications – GMP, ISO, FDA, etc.
• Overall pricing and value for money
• Whole plant CBD or CBD isolate
• Return Policy and Guarantee

Best CBD Oil Reviews: Our 2024 Recommendations

The CBD hemp oil market has a lot of competition, making it hard for untrained eyes to determine what CBD oil is best. We, on the other hand, believe that the product falls on a quality spectrum.

As we review the best CBD oils in 2024, remember that the brands on our list are not necessarily the best for everyone. What you find most effective determines the “best” CBD brand. Our list is a guideline, with any of the following brands being excellent choices.

1. Colorado Botanicals – Best CBD Oil & Highest Rated

Why Colorado Botanicals Made Our List of the Best CBD Oils to Buy in 2024

Based on our objective criteria, Colorado Botanicals carries the best CBD oil in general because of the quality of their CBD oil extract, the feedback from our blind product testing, third-party lab reports, customer service, and more.

Brand Highlights

While other brands make the cut for being “high-quality,” Colorado Botanicals raised the bar higher. They caught our attention with their unique extraction and purification process that we haven’t seen with all the companies we’ve vetted. Colorado Botanicals understands not only cannabis science but pharmaceutical technology science that allows them to separate compounds using low heat. In the process, they retain these much-needed beneficial compounds, such as terpenes, that other manufacturers fail to do.

They’re recommended by Forbes, Discover Magazine and LA Weekly for the quality of their products. We also awarded them as the Best CBD Company of 2024.

A quick overview:

• 60-Day Free Returns
• Over 3,500 reviews on Trustpilot and their website
• Non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free and organic CBD
• Proprietary and unique purification process
• Organically grown hemp
• Easily accessible Third-Party Lab Reports
• Potency options are 10, 25, 50, and 100mg of CBD per serving
• Offers both Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum products
• Many discount options are available, including Subscribe and Save 15%
• A short quiz to help find the right CBD product

About Their CBD Oil

Colorado Botanicals offers the most potent, well-manufactured CBD we’ve seen. Although not a budget brand, they managed to find an excellent balance between value and quality. Learn more about their CBD oil below.

CBD Potency & Pricing

Colorado Botanicals offers CBD oils in 30 mL bottles ranging from 300 to 3,000 milligrams of CBD. These range in price from $29.99 to $199.99, depending on the potency:

• 300mg (10mg/mL)
• 750mg (25mg/mL)
• 1,500mg (50mg/mL)
• 3,000mg (100mg/mL)

Colorado Botanicals offers full-spectrum and broad-spectrum options, giving CBD users the choice between a small amount of THC or THC-free products.

Individuals have limited flavor options, with the only two available being peppermint or unflavored.

Colorado Botanicals Purification Method & THC Removal Difference

Colorado Botanicals understands pharmaceutical technology. They apply this knowledge to separate cannabis compounds using a proprietary low-heat process. In turn, they retain these much-needed beneficial compounds, such as terpenes, that other manufacturers fail to do.

Most companies use a degradation process to remove THC. This involves heating the plant extract until the THC evaporates. Unfortunately, this can also harm minor cannabinoids and terpenes, weakening the final product.

Colorado Botanicals, on the other hand, uses a gentle separation process that, unlike degradation, won’t destroy valuable compounds. However, it comes at extensive costs, lower yields, and a chemical engineering background.

Targeting Terpenes: The Colorado Botanicals Difference

Terpenes are oily compounds found throughout the plant kingdom. They also may offer health benefits to humans when ingested or inhaled. Colorado Botanicals is one of the few brands that were found with a third-party lab report on their terpene profile, proving their hemp extract contains terpenes. Here is a screenshot of a recent lab report:

Here are three noteworthy terpenes:

Beta-Caryophyllene

Despite being a terpene, beta-caryophyllene still binds with the CB2 endocannabinoid receptors. It is believed it may help curb inflammation and pain in the peripheral nervous system, based on an August 2020 study from Frontiers in Neuroscience .

A less common cannabis terpene, bisabolol, could pack a serious therapeutic punch. One 2009 review in the Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society noticed a variety of possible applications it may help with, including:

• Anti-inflammatory

Linalool stands out as a rare terpene, showing it may hold anti-seizure benefits—but that’s far from everything. According to prominent cannabis researcher Ethan Russo in a 2017 edition of Advances in Pharmacology , linalool may show promises in other roles, like:

• Antidepressant
• Anti-anxiety

Discounts Offered

Colorado Botanicals provides two discount programs:

• 15% for subscribers
• 15% discount Assistance Program for emergency workers, first responders and educators

Return Policy

Colorado Botanicals offers an excellent return policy. Customers can return opened or unopened products within 60 days, with shipping included.

Pros and Cons of Colorado Botanicals

Overall, Colorado Botanicals more than earned its top spot.

• Very effective CBD oil
• Highly recommended by many top reviewers
• Excellent customer service and fast responses
• Carries Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum CBD Oils
• Non-GMO, organic, vegan, and gluten-free
• No artificial ingredients
• Uses Organic MCT Oil rich in Omega 3, 6 & 9 in its CBD oils
• Good value, but it may be out of some budgets
• Only two flavor options

2. Nuleaf Naturals – Best Whole Plant Tinctures

NuLeaf Naturals may not be our top contender, but it came very close. This brand follows many of the best practices we’d expect for our Number One pick.

The excellent NuLeaf Naturals products are hugely popular, with many verified positive reviews. NuLeaf Naturals has grown from whole-plant CBD to include other products as well.

Some key points:

• CBC, CBG, CBN, CBD, and delta-8, and delta-9 THC are also available
• Sourced from organically-grown hemp
• Full-spectrum CBD
• 20% discount for subscribers
• Free 2-3 day shipping

About NuLeaf Naturals CBD Oil

Since its inception, NuLeaf Naturals has emphasized purity and whole-plant goodness, steering clear of inferior CBD isolate products in favor of full-spectrum.

NuLeaf Naturals offers plain CBD oil in several sizes. However, the concentration remains the same at 60mg/mL. Customers can purchase larger volumes for better value, ranging in price from $49.00 to $249.00 as follows:

In line with its strict whole-plant values, NuLeaf adheres to full-spectrum cannabis plant extracts. While this is arguably the best approach from a therapeutic standpoint, THC content is a concern for some.

As of this review in 2024, none of NuLeaf’s CBD oils are flavored.

Customer Feedback and Reviews

NuLeaf is an excellent option for those needing raw, whole-plant products. “Just the basics” should be the brand’s motto, but this is far from bad. Sometimes, the simplest options are the best.

Unfortunately, that philosophy doesn’t work for all CBD users. Specifically, people trying to avoid THC won’t be able to purchase from NuLeaf. But those who do are quite satisfied.

For instance, TrustPilot user Frank Hogan says: “I have used three or four different CBD oils Full Spectrum using Hemp flowers with good results. But I have NuLeaf Naturals and another bottle next to it…I always Grab NuLeaf Naturals. It just works Better !!! True Full spectrum…It works all over !!”

Meanwhile, Justin Nukem writes: “Excellent service and products. For premium CBD oils, try NuLeaf Naturals! NuLeaf is now part of my dietary supplements.”

• 20% for buying two products
• 25% with the purchase of three items
• Assistance program for low-income households, veterans, first responders and more

NuLeaf Naturals offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all unopened products. However, customers have to pay for shipping, which can take up to two weeks for the refund to complete.

Pros and Cons

• Full-spectrum CBD oil
• Third-party tested using Botanacor – the same lab as our top vendor
• High cannabis compound retention
• Organic hemp
• Huge selection of other cannabinoid products
• Extremely expensive
• No THC-free options
• Only a 10% discount for subscribers
• No returns on opened products
• No flavors offered

3. Lazarus Naturals – Best by Price and Value

Another big contender we want to recognize is Lazarus Naturals for its excellent balance between value and quality.

Lazarus Naturals opened its doors in 2014 with the slogan: “Effective, not expensive.” They stick to that philosophy and sell CBD products that do the job without harming customers’ wallets. In a further commitment to quality and credibility, Lazarus Naturals is a member of the American Herbal Products Association and the Oregon Industrial Hemp Farmers Association.

• Assistance Program
• Focus on organic and sustainable manufacturing/farming
• Lab tests easily accessible
• Frequent sales and discounts
• Ethanol extraction

About Lazarus Naturals CBD Oil

Unlike most brands on our list, Lazarus Naturals uses ethanol extraction rather than any form of conventional or low-temperature CO2 extraction. The company offers full-spectrum CBD and THC-free isolate products. The former is suspended in organic hempseed oil and MCT, while the latter contains coconut oil only.

As implied by its title on our list, Lazarus Naturals offers some excellent, potent products at a surprisingly affordable price. Unfortunately, those prices are limited to a 30 mL 1,500mg option and a 120mL 6,000mg choice. The prices are $40 and $120.00, respectively—which is an amazing value considering both have a 50mg/mL concentration.

Lazarus Naturals caters to full-spectrum fans while offering isolates to those who prefer a THC-free option.

Lazarus Naturals offers three flavor options

• Strawberry lemonade
• Peppermint chocolate

Lazarus Naturals has received moderate reviews, with the negative onces focused on occasional customer service issues. However, the majority of independent feedback is positive.

For instance, Erin Rass of Trustpilot says: “They are the by far the best company, in both the quality of their product and integrity of their business model, I’ve found for CBD. I was ready to give up on CBD and on a whim decided to try one more brand. You can taste the terpenes and I love that they do everything from growing to packaging on-site. It also incredibly generous that they offer a discount to low-income people and veterans. I recommend them to everyone and will be a lifelong customer for both myself and my dogs.”

“Jan M.” also cites impressive results, writing: “Their products work great for my arthritis pain and to help me sleep. Their orders come well packaged and quickly even when using the free shipping option. Prices are reasonable and their website is easy to use for ordering compared to other companies I’ve tried.”

As of the writing of this review, NuLeaf offers the following discounts (although they can’t be stacked):

• 20% off the first order when customers sign up for newsletters and e-mails
• Occasional bundle deals
• Assistance program for low-income households, veterans, and individuals with disabilities

Lazarus Naturals offers a very lenient 90-day return policy. Customers can get a refund for opened or unopened merchandise, regardless of the reason.

• Full-spectrum and THC-free isolate options
• Excellent value
• Nice flavor
• Generous return policy
• Ethanol extraction is an inferior method
• Limited flavor options
• Issues with shipping and customer service

4. Bluebird Botanicals – Quality CBD Oil

Another CBD vendor on our list is Bluebird Botanicals, which offers tinctures, gummies, topicals, and more. Despite being outnumbered by many contenders, Bluebird Botanicals isn’t outgunned. They’re the oldest player on our list, having opened in 2013.

Bluebird Botanicals focuses on basic CBD health products like oils, topicals, and capsules. However, they still managed to create one of the most diverse product lines we’ve seen.

• Also offer CBG, CBN, and CBDA
• Full-spectrum and isolate CBD options
• 40% off for subscribers
• Discount programs for people with disabilities, veterans, and low-income households
• Customer loyalty program
• Organically-grown Colorado hemp
• Certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority

About Bluebird Botanicals CBD Oil

Bluebird Botanicals offers some excellent low-dose oils. They use CO2 and ethanol extraction techniques, depending on the product type. While the latter can leave trace solvents, the brand’s products are safe, as evidenced by their third-party lab reports.

Bluebird Botanicals offers two plain CBD oil options at 10 and 25mg/mL, with a price tag of $29.95 and $99.95, respectively.

CBD Type(s)

Bluebird Botanicals uses full-spectrum CBD in their plain CBD oil products.

Currently, Bluebird Botanicals doesn’t offer any flavors for its CBD oils.

Bluebird Botanicals has some excellent products, but we feel it could improve in flavor and potency. While a lack of flavor options is a minor concern, the low-potency hemp extract might be limiting for some consumers. However, newcomers will likely appreciate the low dose, and Bluebird’s useful educational resources.

Online reviews are mostly positive. For example, Jakiyah Adams of Trustpilot mentions: “I have been buying Bluebird CBD Oil in bulk for years. The concentrated oils quality is off the charts and the reps are so helpful and personable. No others compare, seriously. They have helped my child w/his severe anxiety, panic attacks, tremors, & depression unbelievably! A few drops as needed daily and he regains control & able to function pretty normal. Thank u Bluebird. You are a life changer for us!”

Trustpilot user “Scott” shares a similar life changing story: “I expected very little from CBD oil, but was rather desperate to find something that would stop really nasty arthritic episodes that were hitting my spine. BB’s regular CBD extract ended it in 5 (five) days. When I weaned myself off it 6 months later, the arthritis came back in 2 weeks. Back on the CBD oil & it went away again. Promptly. And at a fairly low dose, too (5 to 15 mg per day). Beats tearing up my stomach lining with NSAIDS.”

Bluebird Botanicals offers refunds within 30 days. However, additional fees apply, and eligibility requirements are strict.

• Full-spectrum
• Use CO2 extraction followed by a “winterization” process that filters out unwanted plant matter.
• Generous discount and assistance programs
• Third-party tested
• Multiple certifications for quality and safety
• Other cannabinoid products are available
• Expensive, considering the low potency
• Restrictive return policy

5. CBDistillery – Best CBD Isolate Tinctures

CBDistillery is another excellent choice, with products appealing to health-focused customers.

Seeing the influx of subpar CBD products could be confusing, CBDistillery decided to take action. By making its extracts cheaper and educating the public, the company wants to make “cannabidiol” (and “CBDistillery”) a household name.

A few key points about CBDistillery:

• Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate products
• Sells oils, topicals, softgels, and isolates
• Options with flavors and without flavors
• U.S. Hemp Authority Certified
• Price is excellent

About CBDistillery CBD Oil

CBDistillery’s oils come in full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate “THC-free” forms. Unfortunately, they employ ethanol as their extraction method, which raises concerns about trace solvents.

Nonetheless, their products are third-party tested. Furthermore, the inexpensive nature of older purification techniques allows vendors to pass those savings to their consumers.

CBDistillery CBD oil is available in 500, 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000mg dosage options per 30 mL bottle. Concentrations are as follows:

CBDistillery beats everyone else for potency at a staggering 167 milligrams of CBD per milliliter. Best of all, customers can buy this oil at an excellent value, ranging from $24.50 to $240.

CBDistillery offers full-spectrum and isolate “THC-free” options.

None available.

Joining the industry in 2016, CBDistillery grew significantly over the years. Today, it stands as an example of potency and quality. The range of full-spectrum and isolate options extends beyond just CBD, providing a veritable buffet of amazing wellness products. Unfortunately, we were unable to find any significant recent independent reviews.

Subscribers can save 30% on every order.

CBDistillery offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on all products, whether open or not.

• Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate CBD products are available
• Tested by a third-party
• Surprisingly low price for what they provide
• You get a 25% discount when you subscribe
• Certified by the United States Hemp Authority
• High potency
• There are no flavor options
• Solvents may be left behind after ethanol extraction

6. Charlotte’s Web – Best CBD Oil for Beginners

Despite not ranking high on our list, Charlotte’s Web has a strong reputation among CBD users.

Charlotte’s Web came into the spotlight after an eight-year-old girl named Charlotte Figi noticed an improvement in her seizures after consuming Charlotte’s Web’s CBD oil. As a result, attention was renewed, and the FDA eventually approved a CBD drug called Epidiolex. All things considered, Charlotte’s Web is arguably one of the most influential CBD brands in cannabis history. Some other considerations include:

• Broad-spectrum and full-spectrum options are available
• U.S. Hemp Authority certified
• Organically-grown
• Whole-plant

About Charlotte’s Web CBD Oil

Most of Charlotte’s Web’s hemp extract comes from CO2 extraction. However, their “Original Formula” employs ethanol, which is slightly inferior in terms of safety.

CBD Dosage and Pricing

CBD is available in doses of 17, 25, 50, and 60mg per mL at prices ranging from $59.99 to $119.99. Charlotte’s Web tests its oils, but this is done in-house. Consequently, it’s difficult to verify the objectivity of their lab reports.

Charlotte’s Web exclusively uses full-spectrum hemp extract in its CBD oil.

Available in Mint Chocolate, Lemon Twist, Orange Blossom, and Natural Olive Oil flavors.

Overall, Charlotte’s Web has a legendary reputation.

8. Elixinol – Best High-Potency CBD Oil

A new brand on our list, Elixinol has been in business since 2014, making it one of the earlier brands to hit the market. However, getting in on the ground floor gave Elixinol a massive advantage—and they leveraged it significantly.

Today, Elixinol offers a line of high-potency CBD oils and operates throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Latin America.

Elixinol doesn’t grow its hemp in-house, unlike some brands on our list. However, they source their CBD extracts from non-GMO, organically-grown domestic cannabis plants certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority. They also “carefully select” their plant biomass and extract ingredients. Some other points to consider:

• Designed and formulated by medical professionals
• Some products are infused with non-cannabinoid supplements for targeted effects
• Offers oils, gummies, topicals, capsules, and pet products
• Delta-9 THC options available
• Organically-grown and U.S. Hemp Authority Certified

About Elixinol CBD Oil

Elixinol employs a highly advanced supercritical CO2 extraction process. This purification method eliminates trace solvents like conventional CO2, but is designed to improve terpene and cannabinoid retention. 

As expected, Elixinol puts all its CBD products through third-party testing, with an updated Certificate of Analysis available for every batch. 

In addition to plain CBD oil, Elixinol has several lines of effect-specific oil products. For instance, their “Sleep” line is infused with melatonin, a natural sleep-inducing compound. 

The brand has three CBD oil options: Everyday Daily Balance, Everyday THC Free, and Extra Strength. 

Flavor options are limited, with Daily Balance and Extra Strength available in either “Natural” or “Cinnamint.” Their THC Free product is broad-spectrum and is exclusively spearmint-flavored, with no unflavored option.

Elixinol’s Everyday Daily Balance comes in 500 ($39.99) and 1,000 mg ($59.99) options in every 60 mL bottle. 

The broad-spectrum THC Free CBD oil is exclusively available in 500 mg, retailing for $39.99.

Finally, Elixinol’s Extra Strength oil steals the show with a staggering 2,000 or 4,000 mg, coming in at $99.99 and $189.99 respectively. 

Elixinol’s Everyday Daily Balance and Extra Strength CBD oils are made with full-spectrum extract, while their THC Free option is broad-spectrum.

• Spearmint (broad-spectrum only)

Despite their global footprint, Elixinol doesn’t have many independent customer reviews. Although the reviews indicate a satisfactory product, many customers complain about the brand’s responsiveness and service quality.

Elixinol’s CBD oils are a bit more expensive than other brands, but the 30% discount for subscribers helps offset the cost. 

They also frequently run promotions and offer discount codes.

Elixinol offers a limited 30-day money-back guarantee on their products. However, customers are still responsible for the cost of return shipping.

• Available in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum options
• Other CBD oils infused with supplements for targeted effects
• 30% discount for subscribers
• High-potency
• Regular promotions and discounts
• Medically formulated
• Few flavors
• Only three plain CBD oil options

9. Populum – Best Organic CBD Oils

Greg Parker founded Populum in 2016. His interesting backstory with supplements inspired him to launch the brand.

Growing up in South Korea, herbal remedies were ingrained in the local culture. Parker learned to value nature’s healing properties and founded Populum to stand out in a low-quality, mass-produced CBD market.

However, Parker’s second objective is to educate. These are two goals Populum achieves in spades.

Populum has complete quality control from seed to sale. They grow their hemp on a Colorado Farm and extract it in a CGMP Certified facility.

The brand conducts independent tests on its hemp immediately after harvesting, again following extraction, and then a third-party test on the final products. These multiple tests ensure that contaminants are caught early, allowing them to be discarded before they led to defective products.

Some other points to consider:

• Organically-grown, non-GMO hemp
• Offers oils and topicals
• Vegan-friendly
• Paraben-free

About Populum CBD Oil

Populum CBD doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to extraction. They use a two-step approach of food-grade ethanol extraction, followed by a process called “fractionalized distillation” allowing them to isolate valuable cannabinoids and terpenes. The process is also highly effective at removing things like chlorophyll, wax, and other unwanted plant matter.

Although ethanol isn’t solvent-free, like CO2, the alcohol extraction is better for retaining other valuable cannabis compounds.

Populum only carries two CBD oil products: Full-Spectrum Hemp CBD Oil and Unflavored Full-Spectrum CBD Oil.

The first variation is available in four concentrations, all infused with natural orange flavor. The unflavored option follows the same formula, minus the flavoring. It’s also only available in one size.

Populus Full-Spectrum Hemp CBD Oil costs between $59.00 and $279.00, depending on the size option chosen. This product is available in four concentrations: 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg per 30 mL bottle. 

Meanwhile, the unflavored version is limited to 500 mg and retails for $89.00.

As the names imply, both CBD oil options are full-spectrum. This is the best choice from a therapeutic standpoint, but there will be some THC in the extract.

Populum doesn’t have many customer reviews. However, one Reddit user in the the subreddit r/CBDinfo wrote an extensive and professionally written review, where he praised one of their products:

“My mood becomes relaxing and I notice a reduction in my anxiety. With a stressful job, taking CBD helps a lot. If you are looking for a product to help you reduce your anxiety Populum will help you. CBD works best when taking over a longer period. For someone with a chronic ailment taking it every day is the way to go.”

Populum CBD offers a 20% discount for subscribers. Although this helps reduce the price, it’s still a large investment.

Populum has a 30-day “no questions asked” trial offer. Customers can try the product for 30 days. If they’re unsatisfied, they can return the product for a full refund.

• Full-spectrum CBD for maximum therapeutic benefits
• The extraction and distillation processes retain more cannabinoids and terpenes
• Triple-tested 
• Organically grown, non-GMO hemp
• 30-day guarantee
• Free shipping
• No flavor choices

10. Cornbread Hemp

Another new entry, Cornbread Hemp opened its doors in 2018. But despite their late entry into the industry, this small family-run operation quickly made a name for itself.

Cornbread Hemp isn’t the first CBD company to use USDA Certified Organic hemp. However, they were – at least according to them—the first brand in Kentucky to use certified organic hemp.

Grown in the Bluegrass Basin, this area contains nutrient-rich soil that births some of the best cannabinoid and terpene-rich hemp available. Extracted using sugarcane ethanol, this method adds flavor to the hemp, setting it apart from conventional ethanol extraction.

• USDA Certified Organic Hemp
• Sugarcane ethanol extraction
• First of its kind in Kentucky
• Subscriber discounts
• Loyalty points program

Cornbread Hemp offers a small selection of CBD oils, all with well over 0.3% THC per serving. Similar to Aspen Green, Cornbread is embracing the higher-THC formula. The brand has three CBD oil options. Two are organic full-spectrum, and the third is organic distillate. All contain a small amount of THC.

Cornbread’s products are decently priced and within reach of most budgets. Available in 375, 750, and 1,500mg, prices range from $34.99 to $74.99. 

The full-spectrum 375 and 750mg options contain 1mg of THC per serving, while the 1,500mg variation has 2mg of THC. 

Similarly, the 375 and 750mg distillate options contain the least THC, at 0.5mg per serving. The 1,500mg CBD distillate has 1mg of THC.

Cornbread offers distillate and full-spectrum options.

Cornbread Hemp offers no flavor options at this time.

Cornbread may represent a paradigm shift in CBD. Most hemp supplement suppliers try to minimize THC, but a growing number continue to embrace it. 

Although the THC levels are small, they’re large enough to potentially affect some individuals or show up on a drug test. We appreciate the value of whole-plant hemp extract products, but we’d like to see Cornbread Hemp expand its line to include low-THC or THC-free options.

Still, THC hasn’t stopped many people from enjoying Cornbread’s products. The vendor has spectacular reviews on Trustpilot, averaging 4.1 stars out of 5. 

“WolfMomma” writes: “I have done about 4 orders now. I have tried all the topicals, gummies, and the oils, even the pet formula for my 8yr old giant breed dog. I haven’t had any problems with ordering, shipments, or packaging…I was blown away with the quality and potency. Zero side effects, which lends to the quality. My issues with chronic pain, and inflammation were definitely alleviated with the edibles and topicals. I noticed that with continued daily use on my dog’s food, her painful, stiff knees were less of a problem for her. I will continue to keep Cornbread Hemp on my list of reputable online sellers.”

• Full-spectrum and distillate
• Excellent customer satisfaction
• Discounts for subscribers and certain eligible groups
• Only three oils

Best CBD Oil Rating Comparison

Average CBD Price Per Milligram (MG)

What to Look for When You Buy CBD Oil

As medical cannabis and cannabis-derived supplements gained traction, the government made an exception for hemp. The 2018 Farm Bill removed industrial hemp (cannabis with less than 0.3% THC) from the Controlled Substances Act.

However, “legal” does mean “reliable.” It’s still up to the consumer to research carefully before purchasing CBD products.

That being said, there are a few key things to look for when buying CBD oil.

Brand recognition is a good benchmark indicative of quality, but this is far from universal. As we’ve seen in our reviews, big brands often provide excellent products, but customer service falls to the wayside.

Keep a close eye on independent review sites, like Reddit’s r/CBD, Trustpilot, and other unbiased sources.

We’d like to think that all CBD oil contains top-quality organic ingredients with the CBD content matching the label. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, despite being widely adopted by the industry.

A transparent vendor will be forthcoming with its products, sourcing, extraction, and more. They also should never make definitive statements about CBD’s health-promoting benefits.

Other things, like community outreach, USDA Certified Organic hemp, and sustainable farming, are also bonuses that may align with the ideals of some consumers.

Third-Party Lab Reports

Third-party testing plays a crucial role in keeping CBD products safe. Testing hemp plant extract is only half the battle, however. Lab analyses don’t carry much weight unless customers can refer to a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to confirm:

• Cannabinoid content
• Total milligrams of CBD
• Trace solvents
• Pesticides, fungi, heavy metals, and microbes (or lack thereof)

Considering the wealth of information provided, it’s no surprise that third-party testing is the one thing we expect from all our top brands.

Buy Full-Spectrum or Broad-Spectrum

CBD hemp extract is not a one-size-fits-all. Aside from knowing how much CBD to take, it’s also critical to understand which products will suit you best. In most cases, full-spectrum and broad-spectrum offer the best therapeutic effects. Both retain natural cannabinoids and terpenes, with full-spectrum having the most robust profile.

However, broad-spectrum offers a similar experience with negligible—if any—traces of THC.

That being said, we shouldn’t throw isolate out the window. While the lack of additional cannabis plant compounds hampers its wellness benefits, isolate is excellent for flavor-chasers and consumers of drinks, e-liquids, and more.

In short, individuals focused on potential help with issues like chronic pain, managing anxiety, and inflammation (among other things) should opt for broad-spectrum or full-spectrum tincture. But keep in mind that scientific research hasn’t conclusively proven any health benefits with CBD, aside from rare cases of childhood epilepsy.

Isolate can also be good quality and offers an enjoyable experience, but falls short therapeutically compared to its counterparts.

What Is CBD?

CBD is a cannabinoid found in hemp. Unlike THC, CBD does not have intoxicating properties. Instead of getting you high, CBD provides a mild relaxing feeling and may offer considerable health benefits.

There are many different types of CBD products, but oral CBD tinctures are among the most popular. Commonly called “CBD oil” to keep things simple, CBD tincture delivers the benefits of CBD quickly and offers benefits that last a long time.

CBD Benefits: What Research Says About CBD Oil Benefits

CBD has been researched extensively for its potential health benefits. We’re limited in what we can say about how CBD works in the body, but we can rely on scientific studies to get a basic idea of how CBD might improve your health.

THC mainly affects a single neuroreceptor in your brain. On the other hand, CBD exerts effects throughout your body, making many of its benefits seem unrelated.

As you’ll see, though, CBD seems to offer an all-around holistic effect that tunes your entire body and mind. Let’s explore some of the evidence science has accumulated on the four most common uses of CBD: anxiety, pain, inflammation, and sleep.

CBD and Anxiety

In 2015, a study was published in the Journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics titled “ Cannabidiol as a Potential Treatment for Anxiety Disorders .” By 2015, a considerable amount of research had already been conducted into the potential benefits of CBD for anxiety, providing researchers with plenty of evidence to go over in this review.

Overall, the study concluded that “existing preclinical evidence strongly supports CBD as a treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.” At the same time, the researchers admit that proper CBD dosing for anxiety is still relatively hard to determine due to a lack of clinical studies.

Follow-up research from 2020 seemingly confirms the idea that CBD might be useful for anxiety . However, more research into this cannabinoid is needed before fully determining its usefulness for anxiety and other conditions.

CBD and Pain

In 2020, a study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology detailed up-to-date research into the usefulness of CBD for chronic pain disorders. Titled “ A Balanced Approach for Cannabidiol Use in Chronic Pain ,” the authors of this study begin by admitting that cannabis of all kinds is already widely used for pain despite ongoing regulatory issues.

The study points out that “evidence suggests CBD… imparts analgesia in certain conditions.” Due to recent evidence that CBD might negatively impact fetal development, the authors also discuss the proper usage of CBD for pain. Effective CBD doses still haven’t been officially established, but regardless of what you’re using this cannabinoid for, CBD appears to be remarkably non-toxic .

CBD and Inflammation

In the human body, inflammation is mainly regulated by the TRP receptors , and research from as recently as 2020 confirms that CBD appears to interact with multiple TRP neuroreceptors significantly.

In a study titled “ An Analysis of the Putative CBD Binding Site in the Ionotropic Cannabinoid Receptors ,” published in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, researchers investigate claims that CBD is active at the TRP receptors. Existing evidence remains too limited to make any direct claims, but the activity of CBD at the TRP receptors will certainly continue to be a key research topic as scientists clarify CBD’s anti-inflammatory potential.

CBD and Sleep

Earlier studies into the potential usefulness of CBD for sleep were recently followed up by a landmark 2019 clinical study published in The Permanente Journal titled “ Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series .”

The most exhaustive research into CBD and sleep found that sleep improved after administering CBD daily in 48 out of 72 participants. The usefulness of CBD for sleep fluctuated over time. Still, the researchers who conducted this study were astounded to find that anxiety symptoms also decreased in nearly 80% of the subjects who used CBD for sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Full spectrum vs. broad spectrum vs. isolate.

Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate are types of CBD extract you can derive from hemp. Among the three, broad-spectrum CBD extract is the most natural, while CBD isolate is the purest. Each type of CBD extract can be included in CBD oil tinctures, but isolate, broad-spectrum, and full-spectrum all have unique properties.

What is Full Spectrum?

CBD extracts are called “full-spectrum” when they contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids naturally found in hemp flower. This complete spectrum includes THC, of course: full-spectrum CBD extracts can contain up to 0.3% THC, which isn’t enough to get you high but might be enough to make you fail a drug test under rare circumstances.

What is Broad Spectrum?

Broad-spectrum cannabidiol is the same as full-spectrum but with the THC removed. The THC removal process can sometimes damage beneficial components in CBD oil, so purists prefer full-spectrum. If you want to make absolutely sure you don’t fail a drug test for THC, broad-spectrum tastes better and is more effective than isolate.

What is CBD Isolate?

CBD isolate is up to 99% pure CBD. All compounds have been removed, eliminating any possibility of enjoying the entourage effect . With the advent of broad-spectrum extract, isolate CBD has become less popular, but some tinctures still contain this ultra-purified form of CBD.

Which Type of CBD is Most Effective?

Full-spectrum is generally recognized as the most effective type of CBD, since it’s intended to retain all of the whole-plant benefits. However, many individuals gravitate to broad-spectrum. Although not quite as effective as full-spectrum, the second choice works best for people with concerns about THC. This also makes broad-spectrum the most versatile product, providing almost as much efficacy without any intoxicating compounds.

Which Strength CBD Oil Is Best?

Unfortunately, there’s no set dose when it comes to CBD hemp plant extract – or any product derived from cannabis sativa .

The dose depends on various things, like delivery methods, milligrams of CBD per serving, body size, weight, gender, and age. Research suggests CBD is also biphasic, a phenomenon seen in many prescription drugs.

“Biphasic” means that an excessive amount of CBD is equally as ineffective as taking too little.

Finding the right strength is essentially a guessing game. Individuals should follow the “low and slow” rule, taking a minimal dose of 2.5-5mg and increasing every few days until they notice results.

What Brand of CBD is FDA-Approved?

To date, the only FDA-approved CBD product is Epidiolex, a CBD antiepileptic drug released by GW Pharmaceuticals nearly a decade ago.

There are no CBD supplement providers with FDA approval, but some companies use FDA-approved manufacturing facilities.

It’s unlikely that CBD hemp oil brands will receive the green light from regulators anytime soon.

Does CBD Oil Show Up on Drug Tests?

No, CBD oil doesn’t show up on drug tests. These tests are designed to detect metabolites caused by the breakdown of THC. Although full-spectrum CBD oil products contain trace amounts of the intoxicating cannabinoid, it may generate a positive result. It depends on the type of test and how sensitive it is.

However, this is all assuming that the labels are accurate, hence the need for third-party tests.

If THC is a concern for legal, health, or job-related reasons, we recommend you steer clear of whole-plant hemp extract. Instead, choose broad-spectrum or isolate, since both have little to no THC—certainly not enough for a drug test to find.

What is the Difference Between Hemp Oil and CBD?

“Hemp oil” and “CBD oil” are often used interchangeably. While both are wellness products, the benefits they provide are radically different.

Hemp oil (or hemp seed oil) has been available in health food stores for quite a while. Calling it “CBD oil” would be a misnomer, because this product is pressed from hemp seeds. While it contains no cannabinoids, hemp seed oil is packed with valuable nutrients, like vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.

CBD oil is the product we’ve been discussing this entire time. Rather than using the seeds, CBD oil can be extracted from the stalks, stems, leaves, and flower of the hemp cannabis cultivar.

Best CBD Oil Reviews Summary

We tried some amazing CBD products, including top CBD brands such as Aspen Green, Koi CBD, Royal CBD, and more. The decision wasn’t easy, but we successfully found some of the best CBD products on the market.

To summarize, the best CBD oil you can buy online will be accurately labeled, third-party tested, organic (or organically-grown), all-natural, and non-intoxicating.

While our list of companies didn’t universally fit the bill, it’s safe to say no company can. Still, Colorado Botanicals comes the closest, with its excellent balance of potency, value, quality, and excellent customer feedback.

Colorado Botanicals’ 60-day return policy is a nice bonus, since customers can shop with confidence. But what impresses us the most is the brand’s robust educational sources. New CBD users can check out the blog or hop on live chat if they need help. They’ll feel comfortable knowing that the answers to their questions are literally at their fingertips.
