CBD Capsules vs CBD Oil: Which is Better for You?
Estimated read time: 6 minutesWhen it comes to taking CBD, two of the most popular formats are CBD capsules and CBD oil. Both offer unique benefits and suit different lifestyles, but choosing the right one depends on your needs, preferences, and daily routine.
Whether you’re after ease, taste, fast absorption or precision, this guide will help you weigh up the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice.
What Are CBD Capsules?
CBD capsules are soft gels or hard capsules containing a pre-measured dose of cannabidiol. At The CBD Hut, we stock a wide range of capsules—from broad-spectrum blends to indica-style full-spectrum formulations—to suit different goals.
Benefits of CBD Capsules:
-
Pre-measured dosage – no guesswork.
-
Discreet and portable – ideal for travel or work.
-
Tasteless – perfect if you dislike the earthy flavour of CBD oil.
-
Long-lasting effects – slow-release via digestion.
Considerations:
-
Slower onset – usually 30–90 minutes.
-
Less flexibility in adjusting dosage quickly.
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD oil (also called a tincture) is a liquid form of cannabidiol taken under the tongue (sublingually) or added to food and drink. At The CBD Hut, our CBD oils are available in multiple strengths, flavours, and spectrums.
Benefits of CBD Oil:
-
Fast absorption – especially when held under the tongue.
-
Highly customisable dosage – easy to adjust as needed.
-
Variety of flavours – mint, citrus, natural hemp and more.
-
More direct delivery – bypasses the digestive system (when taken sublingually).
Considerations:
-
Less discreet – especially in public settings.
-
Taste may not suit everyone.
