CBD BRANDS TO TRY

Recommended by Johan Sobel of The Drug Store, Joe Oliver of CBD:LDN and Dr Natalie Geary of CBD Porter

THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATIVE

This Guernsey outfit, with a retail store in St Sampson, was a CBD pioneer. Its range of CBD oils is to be taken sublingually (under the tongue).

The pricey Guernsey Gold Edition oil (£102) is the champagne of CBD oils. theoriginal alternative official.com

LDN CBD

Friends Joe Oliver and Aaron Hornstock stock carefully vetted brands as well as their own range of CBD oils. Their 5 per cent CBD Oil with MCT carrier (£50) is made with top-notch ingredients and the price makes it a good bet for CBD newbies. ldncbd.co.uk

ENDOCA

Endoca has a rock-solid reputation among CBD devotees for its clear, concise brand messaging and impeccable eco credentials. As well as CBD oils, skincare and capsules, this fully organic range deserves plaudits for un-squeamishly leading the way in marketing CBD suppositories (£48) that

deliver 50mg of CBD, which some men and women suffering from reproductive system ailments have reportedly found effective. endoca.com

GRACES LONDON

With lip balms and roll-on moisturiser oils, the emphasis here is on topical CBD application, but every ingredient is carefully sourced and every product hand-made by Londoners Shiona and Jason.

CBD skin products are 10-a-penny at the moment, but this simple, effective line is a breath of fresh air. graceslondon.com

GOODBODY

Goodbody is the retail division of Sativa Group, which also owns PhytoVista labs, so all products are rigorously blind-tested on the site. The 5 per cent CBD Cacao Gel Tabs (£39.99) are a convenient way to consume CBD sublingually. goodbody wellness.co.uk

HEMPLE

Australianborn Hemple has pioneered a fastacting

water-soluble full spectrum Sigma CBD Oil (£79) that has become a cult favourite – and not just because the Kardashian family are fans. Dr Natalie Geary, the founder of the sleek CBDPorter. co.uk e-commerce site, pops a few drops in her morning smoothie. cbdporter.co.uk

KIKI HEALTH

Online wellness retailer Kiki Health set a new, high standard for its own-brand high-grade CBD oil, and stuck to its guns in terms of quality and price even when cheaper (and inferior) oils flooded the market.

Its 5 per cent CBD Oil (£40) makes an affordable, effective option for the CBD first-timer, while the

10 per cent oil at £70 is more of an investment. kiki-health.com
