Sirsmile explains capsule terms

Box 1: What are CBD capsules and softgels?

CBD capsules and softgels are small pill-style products that contain a set amount of hemp-derived CBD oil inside. Adults swallow them with water like any other capsule.

In legal hemp markets, brands often offer capsules alongside oils, gummies and topicals. Some highlight specific themes such as “day”, “night” or “focus”. Sirsmile does not verify those claims and instead focuses on format and where adults see them sold.

Box 2: Capsule basics to compare

Amount of CBD per capsule or softgel listed on the label.
Number of capsules in each bottle and approximate cost per serving.
Any added ingredients such as melatonin, herbs or caffeine.
Whether the product is marketed as full-spectrum, broad-spectrum or isolate.
