What is CBDfx?
CBDfx was founded in 2014, when the CBD market was booming. Apart from the brand's high-quality products, this is one of the reasons CBDfx has expanded rapidly and reached various parts of the world. CBDfx has grown significantly from a small firm in San Fernando Valley to a larger company in the CBD market. It also focuses on producing full-spectrum CBD products that are subjected to third-party verification to ensure that users receive effective and safe products. Currently, the company employs over a hundred people throughout the country.

The company claims to have the best broad-spectrum, full-spectrum, and CBD isolate products on the market. The company thrives by offering its customers the best CBD products made with premium ingredients. CBDfx has an excellent customer service team on hand to answer any questions you may have about their services and products. The official website of the company includes its operating hours, phone numbers, and email address.
Does It Really Work?
In the United States, the growth, production, cultivation, and sale of cannabis-related goods were legalized nationally in 2018, and the FDA is gradually warming up to the medicinal use of hemp. Studies show that the cannabinoid system plays a significant role in pain relief and management and the potential health benefits of CBD, such as anxiety and stress relief. According to FDA guidelines, CBD brands should not make any health and medical claims such as prevention, treatment, mitigation, cure, or diagnosis of any illness. This includes CBD oil’s effects on problems such as sleep, anxiety, sleep, and using CBD products for pets.
Fortunately, more and more customers are leaving comments every day. Customers of CBDfx claim that after using the company’s products, they were able to sleep soundly, deal with their pain, and even feel less depressed, stressed, and anxious. Products made by CBDfx can interact with the endocannabinoid system and stimulate its receptor, which activates the peripheral and central nervous systems and reduces pain. This aids the body in controlling joint and muscle pain and inflammation.
Other customers claim that utilizing certain CBDfx products has improved their quality of sleep and decreased their worry and tension. The body’s nerves are calmed by CBDfx products, which improves the body’s ability to deal with stress. Customers have a wide selection of CBDfx items that work well to reduce stress, including CBD gummies, CBD beverages, CBD pills, CBD sublingual strips, and many more. The total healthiness of the body is one of the health benefits of this brand, according to CBDfx reviews, and pet parents believe that the products are quite helpful for their animals.

Potential Side Effects
Like many CBD companies, CBDfx claims that its CBD products are safe for consumption. Research on CBD products suggests that CBD is safe, although there are users who have experienced side effects from consuming CBD products. Weight changes, appetite effects, diarrhea, and fatigue are among the reported side effects of CBD products. Actually, there is proof[4] that using CBD with foods rich in fat can significantly raise the CBD concentration in your bloodstream hence more side effects risks. Note that CBD may react with some medications; therefore, insult your healthcare professional before trying CBDfx CBD products or any other, more if you have underlying medical conditions.

Cost
I purchased CBDfx’s 1,500-milligram bottle of original mixed berry CBD gummies directly from the brand’s website. The bottle contains 60 gummies and costs $54.99, which breaks down to roughly $0.92 per gummy. This price is comparable to the average cost of CBD products with similar potencies and isn’t entirely unexpected given the gummy form. With a serving size of two gummies,the cost per serving is $1.84 if you pay full price.
Luckily, CBDfx provides regular discounts and promo codes. I used a 30% discount code on my purchase. First-class shipping cost an additional $4.89, making my total for one bottle $43.38 after my discount, which is closer to $1.45 per serving.

Potency
This bottle of CBD gummies contains 60 gummies and 1,500 milligrams of CBD, which means each gummy contains 25 milligrams of CBD. A serving size is two gummies, or 50 milligrams of CBD per serving. Compared to other CBD gummies on the market, this potency is pretty high—many other brands offer gummies containing 10 to 25 milligrams of CBD per serving.
Quality
CBDfx’s original mixed berry CBD gummies are made with all-natural ingredients, including organic tapioca syrup, organic cane sugar and broad-spectrum hemp extract. They’re vegan and gluten-free, as well as non-GMO. Coming from someone who’s tested a fair number of CBD gummies, I can say the quality factor is definitely there.

I verified the certificate of analysis (COA) to ensure that what’s on the product label is actually in the gummy. The batch I tested contained 29.120 milligrams of CBD per gummy, which is on par with what’s advertised on the product label. The gummies were also free of all tested toxins.
The CBDfx Experience
I used CBDfx’s original mixed berry CBD gummies once daily for three weeks, consuming a total of 50 milligrams of CBD per day. This amount is the recommended dosage on the bottle. (The label also notes not to exceed 70 milligrams of CBD per day.)
I found they were easy to take and had a subtle, pleasant aroma. The texture surpassed a lot of other gummies I’ve tried; they weren’t too hard or too soft and had the chewy consistency you’d expect. The mixed berry flavor was also on point—not too sweet or artificial-tasting. You can taste the earthy hemp flavor, but it’s not overwhelming.

I’m a big fan of CBD in general, and I regularly take it in tincture form. I didn’t notice any drastic changes while taking these gummies, but I definitely felt more relaxed overall. One of the perks of CBD gummies is that they make it fun and easy to get your daily dose (as opposed to having to hold oil under your tongue for 60 seconds). However, according to Jeff Chen, M.D., founder of both the UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative and of Radicle Science, sublingual (under the tongue) absorption is more effective, so consider that detail when deciding which CBD to try.

And remember: More isn’t always better—especially at first. If you’re new to CBD, “start at a low dose and gradually increase until you get the desired effect or an intolerable side effect,” advises Dr. Chen.
Final Thoughts
According to CBDfx reviews, the brand is among the industry’s most highly reviewed and rated. It is highly reputable because it provides a vast range of high-quality CBD products that consumers can use for a long list of applications. The firm uses organically planted ingredients to guarantee safety for its users, therefore minimizing allergies and other side effects.
