Whether you're new to CBD or curious about different options, this guide is here for you.
What Are CBD Patches?
CBD patches are small adhesive patches infused with cannabidiol (CBD).When applied to the skin, they steadily release CBD into your bloodstream over time.
Why choose CBD patches?
- Subtle, easy, and low-maintenance
- No need to remember multiple doses throughout the day
- Bypasses the digestive system for direct absorption through the skin
How Do CBD Patches Work?
CBD patches use a transdermal delivery system.
Once applied, CBD gradually moves through your skin layers and into your bloodstream.
Key advantages:
- Skips digestion and liver metabolism
- Dermatologist approved and hypoallergenic
- Provides steady CBD levels day and night
