How to Store CBD Gummies for Maximum Freshness and Potency

CBD gummies are an incredibly popular wellness product for many adults.** Gummies infused with CBD deliver all the benefits of cannabidiol in a convenient, easily portable, and tasty supplement. But once you get your gummies home, how can you maximize your CBD experience? For one thing, you want your gummies to last as long as possible, so you can take full advantage of the hemp-derived CBD and other ingredients. This begs the question: What’s the best way to store CBD gummies? In short, you want to keep your gummies in an air-tight storage place, away from direct sunlight, and you’ll want those gummies stored in a cool dark place.

Let’s dig in deeper on the subject of storing cannabis products, like gummies. We’ll begin with a few basics on CBD, itself, and those popular gummies.

What Is CBD?

CBD is one of a group of cannabis compounds, called cannabinoids. There are over a hundred cannabinoids (including CBD and trace amounts of THC) in hemp. Your body actually produces its own cannabinoids, which are part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). As it turns out, when you consume CBD, it interacts with receptors in the ECS and bolsters its performance.** This can produce a wealth of health and wellness benefits, and is a primary reason why many adults use CBD products.**

What Are CBD Gummies?

CBD gummies are chewy health supplements that come in a variety of CBD-infused formulas. Many adults prefer CBD in gummy form because gummies can be consistently dosed (as opposed to CBD vapes and CBD tinctures), and gummies are convenient, portable, and mess-free.

At CBDfx, we offer a variety of gummies in our collection of CBD edibles. These organic CBD-infused gummies include our Original Mixed Berry CBD Gummies, CBD Sleep Gummies with Melatonin, CBD Gummies with Apple Cider Vinegar, CBD Multivitamin Gummies for Women, CBD Multivitamin Gummies for Men, CBD Gummies with Turmeric and Spirulina, and CBD Mushroom Gummies for Wellness. Each serving of these chewy CBD products contains 50mg of CBD and non-detectable levels of THC.

Some adults prefer to have additional THC in their cannabis gummies. For these folks, we have a selection of Farm Bill-compliant THC gummies. Our organic full spectrum CBD + THC gummies include Berry Buzz Sativa CBD + THC Gummies (25mg CBD, 5mg THC per serving), Lemon Dream Indica CBD + THC Gummies (25mg CBD, 5mg THC per serving), and Magic Melon Sativa CBD + THC Gummies (30mg CBD, 10mg THC per serving).

Keeping Your Gummies Stored Properly

So, you’ve found the best hemp gummies for your needs, but what’s the best way to store your gummies? Here are a few things to keep in mind when you’re deciding where to store your CBD-infused gummies. If you keep your gummies stored properly, your product should last from one to two years.

Storing Cannabis in Airtight Containers

Air is unfriendly to most perishables, and this includes both CBD oil and gummies. So, you’ll want to store your gummies and other CBD edibles in an airtight container. Fortunately, all of our gummies come in bottles that are reasonably airtight. But if your bottle of gummies gets cracked or damaged, for some reason, make sure to relocate your gummies to some other storage container that prevents air from getting in and affecting your product.

Don’t Store Gummies in Direct Sunlight

Direct sunlight can adversely affect the life expectancy of your CBD-infused gummies and edibles, as well. So, make sure to store gummies and other CBD oil products in a cupboard or drawer, where the sun can’t reach them.

Store CBD Gummies in a Cool Dark Place

Heat is another factor that can lower the shelf life of your gummies. So, try to find a storage place that is cool and dark. Some adults prefer to store their gummies and other CBD products in a refrigerator. A fridge certainly is a cool and dark place to store your gummies. The only downside is that your gummies might get hard if they get too cold. But gummies stored in a refrigerator will certainly have a longer shelf life in terms of CBD potency versus gummies kept on your kitchen counter.
