Healthspan CBD Oil Review (our Honest Thoughts)
Healthspan is a UK supplements company, similar to Holland and Barrett (who sell Jacob Hooy CBD Oil). And just like Holland and Barrett, they've also decided to release their own CBD oil. We thought it would be a good idea to review the Healthspan CBD oils, as they've become very popular over the last year. Potentially because they have now even been included on Amazon. What are the Healthspan CBD products like? Anything else to mention? Ready to buy the Healthspan CBD oil? Buy it here directly from their website or buy it here from Boots. The best place to grab the oil is on Amazon where you can get the full range, with next day prime delivery. We like to start all of our reviews with a brief overview of the brand we're reviewing. Healthspan isn't a CBD brand, but more of a health supplements brand. But actually, there is nothing wrong with this in our eyes - there are plenty of health supplement brands out there creating awesome CBD products (for example, YourZooki and Holland & Barrett), plus it means they have a lot more money and resources to put into producing their CBD products, which is great for us.
Part of the success of Healthspan has been their marketing, and when you read about the founding of the brand it's not hard to see why their marketing has been so good. The brand was founded by Derek Coates in the late 1990s, who previously worked in the marketing department at Unilever. Derek obviously took his experience from working at a large company like Unilever and applied the same principles to his own business. One other thing we'd like to mention is that Healthspan are members of the CTA (Cannabis Trades Association), great to see this. Now, onto the rest of the review. What are the Healthspan CBD products like? Firstly, we should mention that we published a full review of the Healthspan CBD capsules, which gives our full thoughts on a specific product. But for this review, we'll be giving our thoughts more broadly. Healthspan offers CBD oil in 2 strengths - 2.75% and 5%. For most beginners to CBD oil, these strengths will be absolutely fine but we think that these strengths are actually fairly low for most users.
Especially compared to a full-spectrum oil, these oils simply won't be strong enough to notice any significant benefits. The most popular products sold by Healthspan are their CBD drops, Balance Bloom CBD Gummies capsules and balm. Healthspan also offer some of their CBD products with peppermint flavouring, which is ideal for anyone who doesn't like the taste of hemp. Although personally, we actually think that the hempy taste of CBD oil actually provides a slight placebo effect which makes the product feel even more effective, so we're generally against flavouring these products. Some of the Balance Bloom CBD Gummies products sold by Healthspan are seriously cheap - for example, the Night Time CBD oil is currently on sale for less than £12. This is advertised as a 260mg CBD oil, so that's pretty cheap for an oil with that amount of CBD in it. Looking at the product, we've seen much worse on sale before. It actually doesn't look too bad at all. The oil has been infused with lemon balm and chamomile, so it's intended to be consumed right before bed.
Plus, I actually quite enjoyed the taste of this product. It's a nice idea and a little bit of a gimmick, but we're actually quite impressed with this product. The other 260mg CBD oil from Healthspan (pictured) is also a neat product. It doesn't have the same nice taste as the Night Time CBD oil, but it contains the same amount of CBD and actually we quite enjoy the natural taste. If you're not into CBD oil then Healthspan also sell CBD capsules which are made with the same CBD as the oils. We like capsules as a more convenient alternative to CBD oils (definitely good when you're out and about too). Healthspan have 2 options for capsules - High Strength CBD Oil Capsules and Super Strength CBD Oil Capsules. The recommendation from the Healthspan team is that most people who are new to CBD stick with the high strength capsules, but we imagine most of our readers opt for the high strength.
