Are CBD Drinks Safe for Everyday Use? What the FSA Says

CBD has become part of everyday life for a lot of people in the UK.

In fact, ReLeaf estimates that around 6 million UK adults have tried a CBD product, showing just how mainstream CBD has become in recent years.

As more people discover CBD drinks, one question comes up again and again:

Can I actually drink them every day?

It's a fair question.

Particularly when CBD comes in so many different forms, strengths, and serving sizes.

Oils can be high-strength. Gummies vary enormously. Capsules can contain significantly more CBD than a drink.

That's why understanding where a drink like SKÏP sits within current guidance is useful.

Because SKÏP was never designed to feel like a supplement plan or something you need to schedule your day around.

It's a drink. Something you reach for because it's refreshing, flavourful, and easy to enjoy.

Key Takeaways

• The FSA recommends a maximum of 10mg of CBD per day for healthy adults

• Each can of SKÏP contains 5mg of cold-pressed CBD

• Two cans of SKÏP sit within the current FSA guidance

• SKÏP is designed to fit naturally into everyday routines

• People taking medication, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and those with health concerns should speak to a healthcare professional before consuming CBD

Are CBD Drinks Safe to Drink Every Day?

For many people, CBD drinks have become part of everyday routines.

From our perspective, safe everyday use means creating a drink you don't have to think twice about.

• Something formulated within current guidance.

• Something made with carefully selected ingredients.

• Something transparent.

And something that feels easy to enjoy as part of a normal day.

Whether that's with lunch, during your commute, or in that small pause between meetings, the goal is simplicity.

A drink designed to fit into your day, not complicate it.

What Is the FSA's Recommended Daily CBD Intake?

The Food Standards Agency currently recommends a maximum intake of 10mg of CBD per day for healthy adults.

The guidance exists to help consumers make informed decisions as CBD products become more widely available across the UK.

And that's important because CBD comes in a huge range of formats and strengths, and it can get confusing quickly.

Some CBD oils contain 20mg, 50mg, or even more per serving.

Capsules and gummies can vary significantly, too.

That's why understanding how much CBD you're consuming across all products is always worth keeping in mind.

Interestingly, a YouGov survey found that 94.3% of UK respondents were unaware of the regulations surrounding over-the-counter CBD products, which highlights why clear guidance and transparent labelling matter so much.

How Much CBD Is in a Can of SKÏP?

Each can of SKÏP contains 5mg of cold-pressed CBD.

The amount was chosen deliberately.

We wanted to create something that felt accessible and easy to enjoy as part of everyday life.

SKÏP isn't a supplement.

It's not a wellness shot.

It's a drink.

Something you reach for because it tastes great and fits naturally into your day, not because you're following a dosage plan.

There's another reason 5mg made sense, too.

Because SKÏP uses cold-pressed CBD, our focus was never on simply increasing the dosage. It was about creating a great-tasting drink with flavour and function working together.

For us, it's always been about quality over quantity.

Can I Drink Two SKÏPs a Day and Stay Within FSA Guidance?

Yes. At 5mg of CBD per can, two cans provides 10mg of CBD.

That means two SKÏPs across the day sit within the current FSA guidance for healthy adults.

We wanted to make something you could reach for without having to do the maths or second-guess yourself.

Think of it this way:

You can enjoy one can and know you're comfortably within the guidance.

Or enjoy one with lunch and another later in the day, and still sit right at the current recommendation.

It's simple, straightforward, and designed to fit naturally into everyday life.

How CBD Products Compare With Each Other

Different products are designed for different purposes, which is why comparing CBD products isn't always as simple as looking at one number on the label.

Are There Side Effects From Drinking CBD?

CBD can be experienced differently from person to person.

Many people describe the experience as subtle and easy to fit into everyday life.

As with any functional ingredient, it's always worth reading the label carefully and understanding how a product fits into your wider routine.

If you're unsure whether CBD is suitable for you, speaking with a healthcare professional is always sensible, as it will help people make confident choices.

Why Did the FSA Lower Its CBD Limit?

As research around CBD continues to develop, guidance evolves alongside it.

The FSA regularly reviews emerging evidence and updates recommendations where appropriate.

That's one reason transparency matters so much.

At SKÏP, we believe people should have clear information about what they're drinking and how much CBD they're consuming.

We're fully FSA compliant, rigorously tested, and committed to making that information easy to access and understand.

Who Should Be More Cautious About CBD?

There are some people who should take extra care before consuming CBD.

SKÏP is not suitable for:

• children

• anyone who is pregnant

• anyone who is breastfeeding

If you're taking medication, please consult a healthcare professional before consuming CBD.

The same applies if you have underlying health conditions or you're simply unsure whether CBD is right for you.

Being upfront about that is important.

It's part of helping people make informed and confident decisions.

Why 5mg Fits So Naturally Into Everyday Life

One thing we've always believed is that a great drink should fit naturally into your day.

It shouldn't feel like a regime.

It shouldn't feel like something you need to remember to take.

And it shouldn't require a spreadsheet to work out whether you're having the right amount.

SKÏP fits into your day the way any great drink should.

• Maybe that's with lunch.

• Maybe it's on your commute.

• Maybe it's during that 3pm window when you want something that isn't another coffee.

The routine builds itself because the drink fits naturally into the moments where you'd already reach for something refreshing.

At 5mg per can, SKÏP sits comfortably within current FSA guidance while remaining exactly what it was always intended to be:

A great-tasting drink that happens to include cold-pressed CBD. The functional benefits are simply an added bonus.
