With more and more of us ditching the booze in favour of a healthier lifestyle, the market for non-alcoholic drinks has never been greater.
In fact, it's positively booming. We're seeing healthy alternatives popping up left, right and centre.
Some of the most popular are CBD-infused drinks which are becoming more and more mainstream all the time.
Online searches for 'CBD drink' have soared by a staggering 695% in the past week in the lead up to 'Sober October'.
We asked UK brand Brown's CBD why they are so popular.
"CBD drinks have had people curious for some time now," says Brown's, which specialises in premium CBD products, including oils, balms, and patches.
"With the convenience, bioavailability and huge range of flavours on the market, it's good to know what's in them and what they do.
"There are various forms of CBD drink, from tea and coffee to sparkling water and mocktails.
"The drinks vary in concentration and all contain different amounts of CBD which could be anywhere from 2.5mg to 250mg per bottle or can.
"Choosing the right drink for you depends on your personal preference, the CBD concentration, and ingredients, so it's important to research your options.
"CBD-infused drinks are legal in the UK if they contain less than 1mg of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the psychoactive element of the cannabis plant.
"Always buy your CBD drinks from a reputable source to make sure they comply with the legal requirements."
What are the benefits of drinking CBD?
CBD drinks are a new and exciting way to get all the benefits of cannabidiol without the plant-based taste.
According to Brown's CBD, they might even be more advantageous than other forms of consumption.
"Some of the advantages include convenience, faster and easier absorption, easy to pick up in supermarkets and easily consumed on-the-go.
"CBD drinks have more advantages than other forms of CBD consumption, such as convenience, being absorbed faster and easier into the body, being easy to find in supermarkets, and being carried and consumed easily while on the go.
"The bioavailability (aka the percentage of CBD absorbed while during consumption) of CBD drinks is typically between 4-20% - with many of them using water-soluble CBD to help increase absorption.
The taste of CBD may in the past have given you a bitter or unpleasant taste, which is why CBD-infused drinks are popular, as they come in many different flavours. Not only that, but many Cannabidiol drinks are infused with other healthy ingredients which go hand in hand with CBD to give your body the boost it needs.
Can you make your own CBD-infused drink?
Yes, making your own CBD drinks is an excellent way of monitoring how much CBD you put into your body while trying different flavours and types of drinks.
Here are some ways you can create your own CBD-infused drink at home:
- Water-soluble CBD liquid can be added and mixed into your favourite regular drinks.
- Pre-mixed CBD-infused drinks are available at supermarkets and specific retailers.
