How we vet brands and products Healthline only shows you brands and products that we stand behind.
Our team thoroughly researches and evaluates the recommendations we make on our site. To establish that the product manufacturers addressed safety and efficacy standards, we: Evaluate ingredients and composition: Do they have the potential to cause harm?Fact-check all health claims: Do they align with the current body of scientific evidence?Assess the brand: Does it operate with integrity and adhere to industry best practices? We do the research so you can find trusted products for your health and wellness. We selected the best CBD gummies based on quality and experience taking them for anxiety, sleep, and stress. We review our picks each month after continued testing.
CBD gummies are easy to dose , portable, and discreet. And they come in various flavors, making them a good choice for people looking to try CBD for the first time.
Our team has been testing CBD gummies hands-on since 2022. We continue to retest many of the gummies to evaluate the flavor, experience, and effects. We also continue to monitor third-party testing results.
Our editors and staff have tried all the gummies you see in this article and provided feedback to help make choosing and buying the best CBD gummies a little easier.
First, we evaluated more than 150 CBD gummies to ensure that third-party testing results are current, show no contaminants, and contain only allowable levels of THC. We also made sure the products didn’t make any outlandish, misleading health claims. Then, we chose 20 products to test and narrowed those down to these seven, which rank as the best CBD gummies in our book.

Healthline's review
We tested Cornbread Hemp’s gummies twice in 2022 and twice in 2024. All four times, testers had positive comments about the taste — not overly sweetened or flavored but also not too bitter.
They have a higher potency and may include up to 2 milligrams (mg) of THC per gummy, so this brand is a great choice if you’re looking for a strong CBD gummy that doesn’t taste overly potent. Since each gummy has 2 mg of THC, those who haven’t taken THC or CBD before may want to start with half of a gummy.
Testers commented that the gummies helped them feel more sleepy and drowsy when taken before bed and less stressed during the workday.
“Over the course of 3 consecutive days, I had 1 or 2 gummies at night and found I felt sleepier faster or sooner than I normally would,” said one reviewer, Candice Abellon, during our first round of testing in 2022. “I found I also slept through the night without waking up until morning.”
We recently had a tester with more advanced sleep issues caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) comment that they did not have any impact on her sleep, so it’s worth noting that if your sleep troubles come from an underlying condition, there’s no research to support that CBD will have a strong impact.
Similarly, there’s not super conclusive evidence that CBD benefits anxiety. We’ve heard mixed reviews in that department. Between two testers in 2024 who manage anxiety, one reported the Cornbread Hemp gummies were helpful for anxiety that crept up at the end of the day. Another who has been managing generalized anxiety disorder since she was 11 did not feel the gummies had a significant impact after taking one gummy each night for 3 weeks.
Both testers still engage with other forms of therapy and treatment for anxiety, so it’s best to think of CBD as a possible additional tool for anxiety — not a stand-alone solution.
Another tester, Sydney Samuels, who tried them for more mild daily stress, said, “I planned to test them for a week, but I noticed the effects much sooner. After two days, I felt less stressed (especially at work) and could tell the gummies were working.”
These gummies also come in a 300-mg strength, which works out to 10 mg CBD and 0.5 mg THC per gummy (20 mg CBD with 1 mg THC per 2-gummy serving). This may be better for less experienced CBD users.
Cornbread Hemp uses Kentucky-grown hemp that’s certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The cannabinoids in these gummies are derived from the flower of the plant — not the stalk and stem — providing higher cannabinoid and terpene content.
Cornbread Hemp also offers discounts for veterans, first responders, teachers, medical professionals, students, nonprofit employees, and more through VerifyPass .

What our tester says “I took one gummy every day for 3 weeks, usually in the evening. After taking a gummy, I felt effects around 45 mins later.
“The flavor was good and not too overpowering, and I didn’t notice any earthy taste like I’ve experienced in some other CBD gummies I have tried. The peach taste of the gummies was very natural and subtle.
“For me, therapy and the correct medication plan from my doctor have made a huge change in my baseline anxiety. I often still find that toward the middle or end of the day, stressors from the day increase my symptoms of anxiety. The only herbal remedies that have worked for me to add on at the end of the day are CBD products.
“I often feel physical strain on my body from my anxiety, and these gummies help take the edge off and put my mind and body in a calmer state, while still keeping me fully functional and alert, unlike other remedies and treatments I have tried.”

The berry taste is deep and fruity and manages to mask the CBD and THC taste really well. It also has a really good texture that melts in your mouth. The sugar crystals aren’t too much, as they can be with other gummies.
“I tried it for 2 days. The first night, I tried 1 gummy (25 mg CBD, 1 mg THC) and the second night I tried 2 gummies (50 mg CBD, 2 mg THC). I took the gummies at night since it did cause me to feel a low level of highness.
“On the first day, I felt the effects within 2 hours. I felt a little high and sleepy, though my mind did race a bit, making me sleepy yet making it hard for me to sleep. On the second night, I felt no side effects at all.”

I noticed that I felt drowsy within an hour or 2 of having the gummies. I also noticed that I slept through the night without waking up until the morning.
“Over the course of 3 consecutive days I had 1 or 2 gummies at night and found I felt sleepier faster or sooner than I normally would. I didn’t change my nighttime habits other than taking the gummies. So I had the same amount of screen time as I normally would (laptop, TV, and phone). I found I also slept through the night without waking up until morning. So overall, the gummies were useful for me for sleep.”
— Candice Abellon , Healthline editor (tried the gummies for sleep)
“After a few days of taking the CBD gummies as recommended, I noticed feeling less stressed, especially during the workday.
“I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of these gummies. They have a slight hemp flavor, but it’s not too strong, so the berry flavor comes through nicely. There’s also a small coating of sugar on the outside of the gummy that adds a touch of extra sweetness.
“As a new CBD user, I found that taking these gummies twice a day (as recommended on the packaging) worked well for me. Though I noticed very little (if any) effects the first couple of days. By the third day, I definitely noticed feeling less stressed throughout the day.
“Additionally, as a vegetarian, I often have a hard time finding gummy products that do not contain gelatin. These gummies checked that box for me and still had a great texture. I also slept well at night (though that’s not usually an issue for me).”

Healthline's review
Aspen Green Bliss Organic CBD Gummies contain 100 mg CBD — a very potent dose — as well as 5 mg THC per serving, or 1 gummy. These gummies are flavored and colored with natural, plant-based sources and are USDA-certified organic.
If you don’t want to feel psychoactive effects, or if you’ll be tested for cannabis use, it’s best to skip these gummies. They may be too potent for beginners, so keep that in mind. We only recommend them for advanced users.
One of our editors and an experienced CBD user, Christy Snyder, first tested these gummies when they had a 50-mg formulation and again in 2024 when Aspen Green updated the formula to be more potent. She frequently takes them to help her fall asleep and reports they have a tropical taste with no hemp undertones.
Aspen Green also has assistance and discount programs for military personnel, first responders, medical professionals, teachers, students, and people who are disabled, have low incomes, or are unemployed. The discount is 35% to 60% off for those who qualify.
What our tester says “I took the product for stress relief, to help me relax after work. I also noticed that if I took it later in the evening (say 8 or 9 pm) that it helped me fall asleep. I felt the effects about an hour after I took the CBD. These effects were more intense than other gummies I’ve tried. I felt a little ‘fuzzy’ and slightly high, I would say. It made me fall asleep very quickly.
“The texture is just right — it’s not too sticky or chewy.
“This product tasted tropical, like a mix of pineapple, pina colada, and berries. It’s a little hard to describe because I found the flavor pretty complex. It does have a hint of a medicinal taste on the finish and aftertaste. It’s not my favorite flavored gummy, but it’s also not the worst. Definitely middle ground.
“I cut this gummy in half the first few times that I took it (note: I am an advanced CBD user), and then gradually moved up to taking a full gummy. I took this gummy to help with falling asleep. I noticed feeling relaxed and sleepy about an hour after taking the gummy and have used it for sleep frequently.
“I did notice some psychoactive effects of the THC, so that’s also worth noting. It’s a potent gummy, so I’d recommend it for those with CBD experience.”

Healthline's review
CBDfx gummies come in a Mixed Berry flavor and contain all-natural ingredients. The gummies are organic and broad-spectrum. They are also vegan and low in sugar compared with a lot of CBD gummies, at 1 gram (g) of sugar in a single gummy.
Because they are lower in sugar, we find that they don’t taste as sweet as other gummies. One tester described it starting off with a strong fruity taste that quickly transitions to a strong cough syrup-like taste. Both of our testers found that the taste doesn’t seem to linger too long.
Both testers also found it’s a mild gummy and didn’t result in strong physical sensations unless taking multiple gummies of the higher potencies. For example, one tester didn’t feel any physical sensation until the third day, when she took 4 gummies throughout the day. If you want a stronger effect, opt for the strongest potency which contains 6,000 mg per container.
In the lowest potency, the whole bottle contains 1,500 mg of CBD between 60 gummies. Each gummy has 25 mg of CBD, which is a first-time-friendly serving size.
It’s a good option if you’re looking for a CBD gummy that has a decent dose without causing any stereotypical cannabis effects. Even though each gummy contains 25 mg of CBD (a middle range dose), its effects seem to be mild, likely due to the fact that it’s a broad-spectrum gummy.
They’re vegan, GMO-free, and made in the United States, and they don’t contain any artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup .
What our tester says “Some nights I felt no effects of the gummies at all. On other nights it took about the usual 1 to 2 hours to feel the effects, and those were fairly mild compared with other CBD gummies. I felt only a mild fuzziness and brain fog and slept deeply.
“They start off very strong, with a very fruity smell and fruity taste, but that flavor is quickly replaced by an intensely strong cough syrup-chemical taste. The taste doesn’t seem to linger too long though.
“It has a child safety cap which many other brands don’t have.”
– Jamie Elmer, Healthline team member
Photo courtesy of Jamie Elmer “I tested the product for 3 consecutive days of varied dosing, primarily taking it in the evening. The 3 days that I ate CBDfx gummies, I slept solidly through each night until about 7 a.m. when my alarm went off. Up to that point I was waking up in the middle of the night.
“On the first day, I had a total of 2 gummies spaced 5 hours apart, at night. On the second day of testing, I had 1 gummy in the evening. And on the third day, I had a total of 4 gummies. The third day is when I felt some physical sensation that I might attribute to the gummies, like tingling in my scalp or head, and it’s this fairly mild reaction that makes me think this is an accessible option for someone new to CBD.
“The Mixed Berry flavor reminded me of artificial sweetener or something medicinal. The taste was gone almost as soon as I’d swallowed the gummy. I think this is a good product for someone who may be totally new to CBD. It did seem to change my ability to stay asleep, for the better.
“It smells like a fruity-flavored vitamin or candy.
“I think this is a good product for someone that’s totally new to CBD. I felt little-to-no immediate physical effects. I never felt drowsy with these gummies, which was nice. And I never had more than 1 gummy at a time in a 5-hour window.
“The gummy itself is really soft. I let 1 gummy sit on my tongue for a second to “melt” a bit. It doesn’t taste like candy. It’s more like having a gummy vitamin.”

Healthline's review
Joy Organics uses tapioca syrup and organic cane sugar to sweeten its premium gummies. They come in Green Apple and Strawberry Lemonade flavors. They’re THC-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and vegan. We appreciate that they’re organic and cater to both more experienced and beginner users with various potency options.
Like the Cornbread Hemp and Aspen Green Bliss gummies on our list, they are certified organic by the USDA. However, they also offer a serving option of 10 mg per gummy for those looking for a low dose CBD gummy.
Both of our testers in 2022 and 2024 noted a slightly bitter aftertaste, so they aren’t the sweetest gummy on our list. If you prefer the earthy flavor of CBD, you might like these. But if you’re banking on an intense strawberry lemonade flavor masking all traces of hemp, it may fall short of expectations in the taste department (though they still smell very much like strawberry lemonade according to our testers).
Joy Organics displays its full process for growing and processing hemp on its website. The company’s hemp is U.S.-grown and it also offers a discount for veterans, first responders, teachers, medical personnel, and more.
What our tester says “These gummies stand out from others that I’ve tried, as they have a chewy texture that didn’t get stuck in my teeth. I noticed a pleasantly sweet flavor overall, though I experienced a slightly bitter aftertaste. It has an earthy-yet-sweet strawberry scent.”
— Kelli McGrane , MS, RD, Healthline nutrition editor
Photo courtesy of Jamie Elmer “They weren’t terrible tasting but did have an aftertaste of CBD oil, which isn’t my favorite. The product has a very light scent that isn’t overpowering. It actually smells very good — very much of strawberry lemonade.
“For short-term testing, I tried it for 2 nights. I took 1 gummy (25 mg CBD) on the first night and 2 gummies (50 mg CBD) on the second night. I took them both at night because they did cause some brain fogginess.
“It did create a sense of fuzziness and head heaviness, which got me into bed earlier.
“I don’t believe this product is strong enough to help with anxiety in the short term, as when I was anxious on the second day and took it, it didn’t seem to have any effect. That said, taking it longer term might have different effects.”

Healthline's review
Despite their name, CBD gummy bears from Sunday Scaries are on par with the potency options for most gummies our list. Each gummy has 25 mg of full-spectrum CBD, and the brand recommends taking 2 gummies for a total of 50 mg. They come 20 to a bottle.
That’s perhaps the biggest downside to these gummies — if you’re taking them daily, they would only last you 10 days. Even if you cut it back to 1 gummy per day, you would still need to purchase multiple bottles per month if you take CBD daily.
If you take it for occasional stress, at only $39 per bottle, it’s not a bad buy considering it also contains minor cannabinoids, such as cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN), which might offer extra support for stress relief.
When we first tested in 2022, our reviewer reported a mellow effect that helped her relax on occasion but didn’t result in any high or intense sense of relaxation. During our current testing in 2024, we noticed that taking the 2-gummy serving about an hour or 2 before bed was enough to induce some brain fogginess (in a good way).
That said, if you’re taking CBD daily, our overall pick by Cornbread Hemp is the better buy at the same price point for a potent, full-spectrum CBD gummy.
When it comes to taste, they’re not the most flavorful, but they also don’t put out a bitter hemp taste. So you might like these gummies if you prefer a more neutral flavor experience that’s not too sweet. Our 2024 tester was partial to the green and orange gummies but did find there was a disproportionate number of yellow gummies in her bottle.
Compared with other gummies we’ve tried, they have more of a traditional gummy bear texture — a little firmer.
What our tester says “I took it to relax. I didn’t notice too much of a difference, but I did think it helped me chill out. I didn’t feel ‘high,’ just mellow.
“The texture is a little tougher than what you’d expect from a gummy bear, but it isn’t hard to chew. It tasted sweet like candy but [so much so] that you’d want to eat an entire bag of them. Overall I liked the taste, but you can still tell it’s a CBD gummy.
“The packaging that the gummies were sent in was bright and included clever, funny elements that made opening it feel special.
“Although these gummies are a higher dose than the 10-mg CBD I would usually take, I didn’t feel like they knocked me out — I felt mellow.”
— Samantha Kostaras, former Healthline editor
Photo courtesy of Jamie Elmer “I tried these gummies for 3 nights. On the first night, I took 1 gummy (25 mg CBD) close to bedtime and noticed no side effects. On the second and third nights, I took 2 gummies (50 mg CBD) as per the serving size. On the second night, I took the gummy close to bedtime and noticed no effects. On the third night, I took the gummies earlier and felt a light (3/10) high, along with a brain fuzziness.
“The packaging itself on the bottles is really fun and unique compared with other gummies I’ve tried.
“I felt mild to no effects on the first 2 days, but noticed effects on day 3 about 2 hours after taking it.
“These gummies smell just like snow cone syrup, so they have a sort of nostalgic scent.”

Healthline's review
Soul CBD sells isolate (pure CBD ) products. Their CBD gummies are available in strengths of 10 mg or 25 mg per gummy. Soul CBD guarantees their gummies are vegan, organically farmed, and have zero THC.
Both of our testers found them to be effective for helping with daytime productivity and blocking out mental distractions, so we recommend them as best for daytime use when you don’t want any extra brain fogginess that might come with a full-spectrum product or one with added THC.
While all CBD products are required to contain less than 0.3% THC, isolate products should have absolutely no THC compared with broad- and full-spectrum products. They will also contain no other compounds from the hemp plant such as other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. It’s CBD in the purest form.
These gummies are available in a host of flavors, including Raspberry, Seriously Sour, Pineapple Mango, Passion Fruit, and more.
What our tester says “I tested these gummies in the Seriously Sour flavor. Each bottle contains Blue Raz, Pink Lemonade, and Watermelon gummies. They are lightly coated in added sugar.
“About an hour after taking one 25-mg gummy, I noticed that my body felt more physically relaxed and ‘slowed down’ in a way that allowed me to still focus on my work but with a lot less mental distraction. I’m a fan of all three flavors within the bottle.”

Having tried over a dozen brands of CBD gummies, I would rate these among my favorites because they were easy to take and effective.
“I typically took a gummy in the late afternoon if I was feeling a bit stressed or amped up from my morning coffee and wanted to relax so I could focus on work projects. I felt my energy even out really nicely, which enabled me to be productive for the next few hours.”

Healthline's review
These broad-spectrum gummies are available in three flavors. Two flavors that currently pass our vetting are Peach and Watermelon. Each gummy contains 25 mg of organically grown CBD. They’re non-GMO.
We chose them as the best broad-spectrum gummy because the brand infuses them with what’s called live resin. This may contribute to some of the benefits and effects of full-spectrum products or those with added THC without actually adding any THC.
Our tester finds that they help her fall asleep when her usual tricks aren’t — er, doing the trick.
Compared with our other two broad spectrum picks:
They contain more added sugar than CBDfx gummies. They aren’t organic like the Joy Organics gummies. CBDfx and Joy Organics have more potency options. They could be more effective for some with the added live resin.
What our tester says “I tested these gummies in both the Watermelon and Sour Apple flavors. Both stood out to me as super juicy and flavorful. I preferred the Watermelon. The Sour Apple flavor had a bit of a medicinal aftertaste. Neither caused dry mouth.
“I took 2 gummies when I had trouble falling asleep and noticed that they helped lull me into a more relaxed state. My racing and intrusive thoughts started to slow down, and I was able to fall asleep. I recommend taking a gummy or 2 when your usual tricks to fall asleep aren’t working!”

How we vet CBD gummies
Our Medical Standards and Insights team has carefully researched and vetted over 11,000 products and services. We fact-check health claims, evaluate ingredients, and look into each brand’s reputation before sharing products and services on Healthline.
To choose the products on this page, we considered all the CBD gummies that passed our vetting process. Then, we personally tested some of them to narrow down our list even further. Read more about how we test CBD products.
Use the following criteria when buying CBD gummies:
CBD source The first thing to consider when purchasing CBD gummies is the type of CBD used.
CBD isolate is pure CBD, with no other cannabinoids. While isolates are good for consumers who want to avoid THC, this extraction method strips away the flavonoids and terpenes found in cannabis. This means the end result won’t provide the full range of health benefits.
Products made with broad-spectrum CBD contain most cannabinoids, plus other cannabis compounds, but they generally don’t contain THC.
Products made with full-spectrum CBD can contain all the plant’s cannabinoids, including THC. Full-spectrum products provide the most therapeutic benefits as a result of the entourage effect , which means that cannabinoids have a greater effect combined than when consumed alone.
The best bet is to go for a full- or broad-spectrum product made with organic hemp grown in the United States. Hemp grown in the United States is subject to agricultural regulations, and it can’t contain more than 0.3% THC .
Any product that doesn’t specifically say what type of CBD was used — for instance, listing only “cannabis extract” as an ingredient — is probably one to avoid.
Potency Doses vary widely across CBD products, and potency may depend on the CBD source. For example, a 5-mg full-spectrum CBD gummy may feel a lot more potent than a 5-mg CBD isolate gummy.
If you’re unsure what dose to look for, the best bet is to start with the lowest one available — generally 2.5 mg to 5 mg — and increase from there.
Ingredients Share on Pinterest One of our testers checking out the ingredients in Cornbread CBD Gummies There’s a lot more to CBD gummies than just CBD. Other ingredients can vary widely. Pay attention to additives like artificial ingredients and preservatives.
You may also want to avoid high fructose corn syrup, and if you’re vegan or have allergies, look for products that match those needs.
Consider CBD gummies made with organic, non-GMO ingredients, real sugar, and natural flavorings. Although you can purchase CBD products that contain vitamins or adaptogenic herbs , it may be best to avoid these, as experts aren’t sure how CBD interacts with vitamins, minerals, or supplements.
Third-party testing Currently, the FDA doesn’t guarantee the safety, effectiveness, or quality of over-the-counter CBD products.
However, to protect public health, the FDA can take action find a quality product .
Take a look at the COA and make sure the product has been tested for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and molds. You can also use the COA to verify that the product actually contains the amount of CBD and THC that the label says it does.
Beware of any company that promises extreme results, and remember that results may differ. A product that works well for a friend or family member may not have the same effects for you.
If a product doesn’t work for you, consider trying another with different ingredients or a different amount of CBD.
Most gummies come in packs of 20 to 60, and they’re dosed at 5 mg or more of CBD per gummy. If you’ve never tried CBD, start with a 5-mg gummy. Some gummies can be cut in half, so you can start with 2.5 mg.
Wait up to 2 hours to experience the full effects, and if you feel like you need more, experiment until you find your “just right” dose. You can consume gummies daily, but keep in mind that the effects of a gummy tend to last 4 to 6 hours.
Store in a cool, dark place away from sunlight.
Some prefer ingesting CBD by eating edibles like gummies. CBD gummies are offered in a variety of potencies. But generally, it’ll be about 30 to 60 minutes
When you eat a CBD gummy, your body will first absorb it in the digestive system. Next, the active ingredients can move into your bloodstream, making their way to your liver.
From here, your liver metabolizes the ingredients before entering the bloodstream again and then finally making it to your brain.
This is when people generally notice the results, although everyone’s experience with onset time may be different. Of course, if you eat a CBD gummy on an empty stomach, you might notice results faster than if you take it with a full stomach.
CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning it will not get you “high.” Experts generally recognize it as safe, and there are few side effects, though they do occasionally occur.
Possible side effects fatigue diarrhea changes in appetite changes in weight Research from 2017 suggests that CBD may interact with liver enzymes and interfere with metabolizing other medications or breaking down toxins. Always consult a clinician before using CBD products, especially if you take any medications or supplements.
Additionally, keep in mind that some research
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid CBD.

How many CBD gummies can you take each day? This will depend on the product you choose. Some CBD gummies come in higher doses and are meant to be taken only once per day, while others are less potent, meaning you can slowly take more as you get used to CBD and find the result you’re looking to achieve.

Do CBD gummies contain THC? Some CBD gummies are free of THC, but there’s always a chance that trace amounts could be included, which can result in a positive drug test. Full-spectrum CBD does include all the plant’s cannabinoids, meaning it contains THC.
To be sure there is no THC in your CBD gummies, select an isolate — also known as pure CBD .

CBD may have health benefits, and gummies are a great place for CBD-curious folks to start. Stick with full- or broad-spectrum products made with organic hemp grown in the United States, and be sure that whatever you buy is third-party tested.
Start slowly, enjoying enough of a gummy to ingest 2.5 mg to 5 mg of CBD. Evaluate any effects as you slowly work your way toward finding the right amount for you: your Goldilocks dose. Wait up to a full 2 hours before taking any additional CBD.
Consult a clinician before taking CBD, especially if you’re currently on any other medication.

Is CBD legal? The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the legal definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. This made some hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC legal at the federal level. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3% THC still fall under the legal definition of marijuana, making them illegal at the federal level. Some states have legalized CBD, so be sure to check state laws , especially when traveling. Also, keep in mind that the FDA has not approved nonprescription CBD products, and some products may be inaccurately labeled.
