In the Gummies category, we have gathered functional gummies, which are those where each serving carries a specific ingredient: hemp seed oil, herbal extracts, or caffeine. Gummies do not need to be brewed, measured, or washed down, and the jar fits in your jacket pocket. Below we explain how the different groups differ, what to compare on the label, and where to find narrower shelves.
Functional gummies: what you will find in the category
Directly in this category, there are three types of gummies. The first is the hemp gummies Blazed Brains in 100 g packages, in flavors Strawberry, Sour Apple, and Cola. The second is herbal gummies from the brand TOPICAL, and the third is caffeine and synephrine gummies from the same brand.
Narrower groups have their own categories. Gummies with hemp extract from various brands can be found in the Hemp Gummies category, gummies with melatonin in the Melatonin Gummies category, and gummies with vitamins in the Vitamin Gummies category. We have gathered the line of one brand separately in the Green Out Gummies category.
Hemp gummies: three profiles of Blazed Brains
The three variants of Blazed Brains share hemp seed oil and a 100 g package, but differ in the amount of hemp phytonutrients per serving and the addition. Strawberry has 12 mg of phytonutrients and 6.25 mg of vitamin C per serving. Sour Apple has 18 mg of phytonutrients and 10 mg of vitamin C, plus a distinctly sour taste of green apple.
Cola has 24 mg of hemp phytonutrients per serving, twice as much as Strawberry, and 5 mg of caffeine. Strawberry and Sour Apple have a hybrid terpene profile, while Cola has sativa terpenes. All three are dietary supplements for adults only.
Herbal gummies and caffeine gummies
The Power of 4 Herbs is a composition without melatonin and without hemp raw materials. One gummy contains dry extracts standardized to DER 4:1, which means 50 mg of passionflower, 50 mg of valerian root, 35 mg of lemon balm leaf, and 35 mg of hop cone. The PET jar of 150 ml holds 30 gummies with a net weight of 90 g, and the serving is one to two gummies per day.
ENERGY in cola flavor is the opposite pole of the same brand. One gummy contains 35 mg of caffeine and 10 mg of synephrine, an alkaloid naturally present in bitter orange. The jar contains 30 gummies with a net weight of 90 g, the serving is one to two gummies, no more frequently than every six hours, and the product is intended solely for adults.
What to compare on the label
First, check what the number refers to. TOPICAL provides the content of active ingredients in one gummy, while Blazed Brains does so per serving, so always compare the same units. The serving size and its upper limit are determined by the label on the package that reaches you.
Then look at the sweetening. The Power of 4 Herbs is sugar-free and sweetened with erythritol, maltitol syrup, and sorbitol, which are polyols that can have a laxative effect when consumed in excess. ENERGY has sugar, glucose syrup, and sorbitol in its base.
The third thing is the gelling agent. In both TOPICAL recipes, it is gelatin, so they are not vegan gummies. Do not consume caffeine gummies with other products that are sources of caffeine.
How to choose gummies
Caffeine is present in Cola Blazed Brains, 5 mg per serving, and ENERGY, 35 mg per gummy. Strawberry, Sour Apple, and the herbal composition are caffeine-free.
We compare how gummies differ from drops in the post gummies CBD or CBD oil. We have gathered recipes with melatonin in the category Melatonin Gummies.
