What is CBD?
CBD is one of over 100 chemicals found in the Cannabis Sativa plant. Unlike its counterpart Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not produce a ‘high’ and is used in a range of medicines.
CBD is a malleable compound that can easily be formulated into a range of different products. Many of these vary in quality and efficacy. The most useful methods of taking CBD remain CBD Oils (when held under the tongue) and CBD Skincare.
Both Boots and Holland and Barrett have a range of CBD products. However, this review will focus mainly on CBD Oils, which can be found in both Holland and Barrett and Boots. This is because they are the most bioavailable – biologically efficient – ways to take CBD.

Dragonfly CBD
The first CBD Oil into Boots, Dragonfly CBD has become a household name in the UK. In 2020, thousands of customers awarded Dragonfly CBD the Best CBD Oil award in Boots.
Uniquely, Dragonfly CBD develops its CBD from seed to shelf and its CBD originates from outdoor, organically grown Cannabis Sativa.

FourFiveCBD
A brand that requires little introduction, FourfiveCBD was set up in 2018 by international rugby players, George Kruis and Dom Day.
To better manage recovery and combat inflammation and pain – a common occurrence in professional rugby – Kruis and Day stumbled across CBD. After serious knee surgery, Day read online about the purported therapeutic benefits of Cannabis and turned to CBD Oils.
Day noted “the first thing I noticed was my sleep was amazing. The inflammation in my knee also went down and it relieved the pain. I was sold from then on.”
FourfiveCBD has a range of CBD Oils in Boots, but not in Holland and Barrett’s CBD selection. Slightly more expensive than other brands, you can pick up a 1000mg CBD Oil for £60.00.
Satipharm
Stocked across Holland and Barrett, Satipharm provides a unique CBD offering. Its Advanced CBD capsules use patented technology to deliver 10mg CBD with improved bioavailability.
In 2019, Satipharm released the results of its Phase II Clinical Trial using its GelPell range. The trial focused on the management of Treatment Resistant Epilepsy (TRE) in children. Over the 12-week treatment period, the median reduction of seizures was -82% when added to existing medications. In addition, two patients were reported as fully seizure free within 5 weeks of the treatment.
The 300mg Satipharm CBD capsules range is available in Holland and Barrett for £39.99.
