CBD Mints Effects & Benefits: Your Real-Life Chill Pill


👍 Share:

CBD is a natural option with a wide array of uses — it helps to support mood, healthy joint mobility, and normal inflammatory function.

The most popular form of CBD on the market is CBD oil, which is available in a wide variety of flavors and potencies to custom tailor your CBD experience. But sometimes, you just want a more straightforward product that tastes great and is useful. Take the guesswork out of dosing and add a touch of convenience with your real-life chill pills, CBD mints.

In this article, we'll answer all your questions related to CBD mints — CBD mints effects to expect, how long they take to work, and how to choose high-quality CBD products. 

What Is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of the most studied plant compounds derived from the cannabis plant.

CBD is one of over a hundred different cannabinoids — a term designated to specific compounds naturally produced in cannabis that interact with the body's  endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is responsible for maintaining homeostasis (balance) in the body, which helps to support well-being. It's with this fascinating interaction with the endocannabinoid system that CBD oil can lend so many potential therapeutic benefits.

What Are CBD Mints?

CBD mints are an edible, easy on-the-go form of CBD that helps to support a sense of relaxation.

They're made by blending hemp extract with hard-mint candy ingredients to create a product that's conveniently pre-dosed and freshens the breath.

One of the other factors that make mints a more favorable option, as opposed to traditional CBD oil, is that they taste great. CBD extract combined with hemp oil sometimes has a naturally grassy, hempy taste, which comes from the plant's terpenes and esters. You don't want to get rid of any of these plant compounds because they're good for you, but it's not always the most palatable flavor.

Mints do an excellent job at masking the hempy flavor for those who are more sensitive to it or simply want a better-tasting option.

Are CBD Mints Effective?

Everything you can get from a traditional CBD oil or capsule, you can expect from CBD mints effects — with the added bonus of a pleasant peppermint flavor and pre-dosed convenience.

CBD mints are excellent for helping to support a wide range of discomforts or aches. However, how effective the mints are for you will still depend on a number of factors including, the quality and potency of the product and what you're using it for.

CBD mints belong to the category of CBD edibles, which includes everything from gummies, cookies, and teas—the possibilities are virtually endless.

Edibles are one of the oldest methods of consuming cannabis from brewing teas and cooking, and it's one of the most straightforward means of ingesting CBD, which makes it easy for first-time users. 

How To Take CBD Mints

Getting your daily dose of CBD has never been more convenient. Mints come in a discreet tin package that looks like a regular breath mint that you can take with you on-the-go — keep a pack in your desk, gym bag, or purse.

Each CBD mint contains pre-measured doses of CBD. All you need to do is pop one in your mouth and let the mint dissolve to release the active compounds with the added benefit of fresh breath.

Depending on what you hope to take CBD for, you might find it appropriate to eat a mint about an hour before bed to support a good night's sleep or after a strenuous gym session to support a normal recovery response.

How Long Do CBD Mints Take To Work?

Edible CBD is processed through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream. Meaning, depending on your metabolism and how much CBD you ingest, you'll feel the CBD mints effects appear anywhere from 20–45 minutes, lasting up to 7 hours.  

How Do I Figure Out My Ideal CBD Dose?

Dosing CBD is a personal affair because it can depend on a wide range of factors, including:

  • Age
  • Weight
  • Metabolism
  • Experience with CBD
  • Health conditions
  • What you're using CBD for

When we come across different CBD edibles on the market, many companies miss the mark on potencies — they're either too low to produce any benefits or way too strong. While there's no real concern for health-threatening overdoses on CBD oil, taking too much can lead to uncomfortable side effects, such as constipation, nausea and other minor side effects, though this rarely happens. [ 2]. 

Before you try any CBD product to address health concerns, be sure to speak with your doctor first. A rule of thumb when it comes to dosing CBD is to start low and go slow.

Here's some general dosing guidance:

  • Low dose: 1 mg for every 10 lbs of weight
  • Medium dose: 3 mg for every 10 lbs of weight
  • High dose: 6 mg for every 10 lbs of weight [3].

If you don't feel the CBD mints effects, try increasing your dose by 5mg and monitoring how you feel. It may be helpful to record how much you're taking either in a journal or a notes app on your phone.

When it comes to CBD in mint form, it's wise to purchase from a brand that offers multiple strengths (low to high), so you can experiment with strength options with one formula for consistency.

What Are The Benefits Of CBD Mints?

Pre-measured For Simple Dosing

CBD mints remove the guesswork out of measuring doses. You know precisely how much CBD you're getting with each mint, making them a move convenient option over CBD oils or vaping.

Great Taste

If you've wanted to use CBD, but dislike the natural taste of hemp, then CBD mints are your best bet. Full-spectrum CBD oil tends to have an earthy taste from natural terpenes and plant esters that puts people off. With CBD mints, you can get the benefits of full-spectrum hemp extracts without the hempy taste in your mouth.

Long-Lasting Effects Over Vaping or Smoking

While inhaling CBD does produce a quicker onset of effects, as it bypasses the digestive system and directly enters the bloodstream via the lungs, edible CBD produces steadier, longer-lasting effects (up to 7 hours).

Many users will choose an edible form of CBD to meet their intended dose and use smoking products for an added boost if needed.

Smoke-Free Alternative

Cannabis has deep roots in the smoking culture because it's the fastest way to harness the active compounds of the plant. But we all know now the harmful effects of smoke inhalation, and smoking isn't ideal for children (under the age of 18) or people with certain health conditions.

Smoking CBD is also much more difficult to dose consistently, which is another reason why edible CBD, such as CBD mints are a much-preferred alternative.

Who Should Consider Using CBD Mints?

There's a reason why people are turning to CBD products. In the right dose and context, CBD may support a variety of human discomforts without nasty side-effects or risk of addiction.

Mints are the perfect choice for people looking to test the waters with CBD, but aren't comfortable smoking a CBD product or fussing with measuring oils.

CBD mints come pre-dosed, taste great, and deliver long-lasting benefits. CBD gummies are another popular product in the world of CBD edibles, it just depends on your flavor & consistency preference. 

How to Shop CBD Mints That Are Actually Worth Your Money

Now that you've decided you want to try CBD mints, there are some considerations you should be made aware of, so you don't regret your purchase.

Extract Type

When you're shopping for CBD products, you'll come across three types of hemp extracts:

Full-Spectrum

This processing style preserves the natural phytonutrient profile of the hemp plant, which may include other cannabinoids (CBD, CBN, CBD, THC), terpenes, and plant esters. Because plant compounds produce stronger effects in combination, you'll find full-spectrum extracts to be more potent.

Isolate

Isolate extractions undergo another process to strip away any remaining plant compounds, leaving only CBD behind. Isolate extracts are guaranteed THC-free and have more consistent effects.

Broad-Spectrum

Broad-spectrum is a hybrid of full-spectrum and isolate. A brand will combine desired terpenes and cannabinoids into a proprietary ratio. One of the key selling features of broad-spectrum is that it offers the many benefits of full-spectrum extracts, but it's guaranteed THC-free.

Extract Type

CBD Potency

Edible CBD products will come in a wide range of strengths, which is typically labeled in mg.

We recommend shopping with a brand that offers multiple potency options when it comes to their mints so that you can experiment with different potencies with one formula.

Don't go for any mint that contains less than 10mg of CBD per mint, even if you're just starting out. There's simply not enough CBD to yield any effects.

Third-Party Lab Testing

Hemp sourcing is a critical aspect of the final outcome of a CBD product. Because the CBD industry is quite new, there's a lack of regulation for who can and can't sell products. Unfortunately, there are a lot of brands circulating products that contain CBD from contaminated hemp sources (containing pesticides, heavy metals, and other harmful toxins).

Third-party testing isn't mandatory in the USA. Still, trusted brands are sending samples of their product to a non-biased lab to test for potential contaminations to ensure their products as exactly as marketed.

As a general shopping rule for CBD, never make a purchase without first referring to a company's third-party lab testing. These lab reports should be accessible on the company's website with a recent date.
