PlusCBD THC-Free Gummies Review

Welcome to our Plus CBD Daily Balance Gummies review!

At 25 mg of CBD per piece, these THC-free gummies were formulated to mirror the calming and discomfort-relieving effects of full-spectrum hemp as closely as possible.

Extracted safely with CO2 and paired with non-GMO, vegan ingredients, this hemp extract proved effective among our testers, but if you’re used to full-spectrum, you may notice a drop off in potency.

Overall, our team highly recommends Plus CBD Daily Balance Gummies for anyone steering clear of THC—on to the review!

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

• Good potency at 25mg/gummy
• Vegan, non-GMO, clean ingredients
• Third-party tested

And now for the cons:

• No THC results in less potent effects
• No secondary cannabinoids detected on lab report

Quality

As we expand on in our Plus CBD Oil review, quality is a key focus throughout all aspects of the brand, from packaging to testing and certification.

Speaking of, Plus CBD oil provides QR codes on their containers—including their THC-free gummies—linking to third-party lab reports. 

They were the first company to receive self-affirmed GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status, an FDA-ready designation that is difficult and expensive to attain. 

The hemp is extracted using CO2, the industry gold standard, and Plus CBD offers full-spectrum as well as THC-free products.

Another thing that differentiates Plus CBD is their sourcing location, Holland.

Holland has very high safety and quality standards in agriculture, including sustainability, allowing Plus CBD to use non-GMO, EU-certified hemp seeds.

You get the point—Plus CBD is a “real one,” as the kids say. Now to the THC-Free gummies review.

Concentration

We sampled the 60-count order of THC-Free Daily Balance CBD Gummies from Plus CBD, which are linked to this certificate of analysis from the third-party lab. 

According to the label, there are 25 milligrams of CBD per gummy, and of course, no THC. 

According to the lab report, there are 29.82 mg of CBD per gummy, but all supporting cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, etc.) are reported as below the limit of quantitation, which is to say, negligibly small amounts. This includes delta-9 THC.

The CBD is clearly over-delivered by a decent, but not problematic amount, and though it’s great to see confirmation that the delta-9 THC amount is basically zero, we would like to see some supporting cannabinoids.

That said, if you’re looking to clearly gauge and/or benefit from the effects of CBD alone with next to zero cross-contamination from other cannabinoids, this is a clean and potent option.

Value

One-time purchasers of Plus CBD Daily Balance THC-Free Gummies will pay $54.99, which reduces to about 3.6 cents per milligram of CBD. 

Typically more expensive on a per-milligram basis than CBD oil tinctures, CBD gummies from reputable brands usually cost somewhere between $0.07-0.11 per milligram. 

However, most of the products we’ve reviewed in this price range are full-spectrum, so that makes this favorable comparison a bit less extreme. 

Still, given Plus CBD’s reputation and this product’s quality, this is definitely one of the best deals we’ve seen for THC-free CBD gummies.

Not to mention, subscribers save a generous 25% (we usually see 10-15%) regularly on this product, dropping the total and per-milligram prices down to $41.24 and 2.7 cents, respectively.

Packaging

As pictured, Plus CBD’s Daily Balance gummies come in a darkly tinted, plastic container with a threaded lid. 

Neither the container nor the lid gave us any difficulties throughout our use of the product, and the labeling provided the following information:

• Key product specs (ingredients, supplement facts, etc.)
• “Free statements” (e.g., no artificial flavoring, artificial sweeteners, gluten, soy, or GMO ingredients)
• Informational blurbs on the brand and the product
• Usage instructions and FDA disclaimer 
• QR code for third-party lab reports

As you can see, all the basic info consumers need is readily available, and the informational blurbs as well as the QR code add a layer of authority and transparency.

Overall, the packaging was consistent with other industry-leading brands we’ve reviewed.

Ingredients

In the case of oil tinctures, the vast majority of brands can mix a full-spectrum hemp extract with a carrier oil and call it a day, but the gummy category offers an excellent opportunity for high-quality brands to branch off from the rest.

This is because many brands will use artificial sweeteners, colors, and so on in their CBD gummies.

Such is definitely not the case with Plus CBD Daily Balance Gummies, which contain the following ingredients:

• Cannabidiol (CBD) (From Hemp Extract [Aerial Plant Parts])
• Organic Cane Sugar
• Organic Tapioca Syrup
• Purified Water
• Citrus Pectin
• Citric Acid
• Natural Flavor
• MCT Oil
• Sodium Citrate
• Lycopene (color)

No corn syrup, no sketchy preservatives or coloring, and importantly, Plus CBD keeps it to a reasonable 2 grams of added sugar per gummy.

This is about as clean as a gummy gets, especially when considering they’re made with non-GMO ingredients.

Flavor

These gummies are only available in Wild Berry flavor, which we found to be sweet enough, but not too sweet, and tasty.

They didn’t have that artificial, syrupy taste like cheap candy, but on the other hand, the flavor didn’t cover up that hemp aftertaste very effectively.

If you don’t mind a bit of earthiness, you’ll probably find these gummies as tasty as we did.

Effectiveness

As seasoned reviewers who have tested products with as much as 5 mg of THC per serving, we tempered our expectations in this case because this gummy contains no THC.

As expected, we felt a subtle calming effect and an improvement in mood, but not that strong, total-body relaxation effect associated with THC.

Still, 25 mg of CBD per gummy certainly helped (we popped 2-3 at a time) to relieve sources of mild discomfort and improve stress and mood for several hours.

Whether you’re sensitive to THC or you simply have strong results with CBD, we found this gummy to be among the most effective THC-free products for stress and discomfort.

Key Takeaways

Plus CBD sticks to their staunch standards of product quality and safety in the case of these third-party tested, non-GMO, and vegan CBD gummies.

The lab-confirmed CBD concentration exceeded the label claim for our product batch, though there were no secondary cannabinoids (CBG, CBN) detected.

For a trusted brand, these gummies are a highly competitive value, whether you subscribe or not.

Finally, our team found these gummies to be moderately effective for stress and discomfort.

If you’re staying away from THC for whatever reason and you prefer the fun and familiar approach of gummies, our team highly recommends Plus CBD Daily Balance gummies.
