Flavored CBD Oil Vs. Unflavored CBD Oil: Which CBD Oil Products Are Right For Me?

Choosing between flavored and unflavored CBD oil is one of the first decisions a person makes when buying CBD oil products.

At Populum, we know it can be confusing to decide which CBD oil to buy. How do you know what you are getting, especially as a first time user of CBD? As always, we want to make it simple for our customers to buy CBD, and to feel good about their purchases. That’s why we created this guide to flavored and unflavored CBD oil products.

For years, we’ve been known for the delicious all-natural orange flavor in Populum Full Spectrum Hemp Oil. It’s got a fresh orange taste that blends and covers the taste of hemp without being overwhelming. Even though this is an effective and versatile product, we also offer an unflavored alternative.

In the article below, we’ll get into why we created each product, and how our customers use flavored vs. unflavored CBD. Then we’ll give you some tips for choosing between the two. Read on, and by the end of this article you’ll know a lot more about how to choose your CBD.

Why do people love flavored CBD oil?

When you taste the hemp flavor of full spectrum CBD oil, what you’re tasting is not just CBD. The hemp plant contains hundreds of compounds which work together to create the entourage effect. One major component of the flavor of hemp extract are terpenes, These natural scented chemicals are found in many plants in nature, and make up a big part of the scent and taste bouquet of hemp.

Fortunately, any possible benefits of terpenes remain when you add additional flavor. And many people find it easier to take CBD oil directly in flavored form. At Populum, our signature orange flavor is mild and sweet, like a freshly squeezed, ripe orange.

The most common way to take Populum Full-Spectrum Hemp CBD Oil is directly under the tongue. Just hold the supplement there for 15-30 seconds, swish it around your mouth and swallow. Other people like to add our flavored CBD oil to a glass of water and sip all day, or even use it to create CBD-infused drinks.

Since our award-winning orange flavor is so popular, we offer our flavored CBD oil in more concentrations, in 4 different strengths from 250mg to 2000mg per bottle. So if you need a high potency CBD oil, then the flavored option is the way to go.

You don’t have to worry about getting anything fake or artificial either. Populum uses cold-pressed orange oil to flavor our CBD. It’s even a good source of Vitamin C!

The many uses of unflavored CBD oil

There are lots of reasons why we added an unflavored CBD oil to our lineup. Some people just don’t like the taste of oranges! Other people enjoy the earthy flavor of unflavored hemp extract.

There are just three ingredients in Populum Unflavored Full Spectrum CBD Oil: hemp extract, grapeseed oil, and hempseed oil. That’s it. For purists, and those carefully watching every ingredient, our unflavored oil makes a perfect choice. It has a light, earthy taste. It’s not bitter, like some other CBD oils.

Our unflavored CBD oil is also a great choice if you’re adding CBD to smoothies or post workout drinks, cookies, CBD drinks, or any CBD-infused edible where you don’t want an orange taste competing with the other flavors. It’s still a relatively mild-tasting CBD, making it easy to hide the taste when you’re already adding other ingredients.

If you want an ultrasimple, quality choice, unflavored CBD is the way to go.

Final thoughts on choosing CBD oil

Speaking personally, I love Populum’s orange flavor, and I also enjoy the natural botanical flavor of unflavored CBD. In particular, I love to mix unflavored CBD oil with green tea. I think the flavors match up delightfully.
