SKïP is made to feel easy.
A cold can from the fridge.
Proper flavour.
A functional ingredient alongside it.
We believe guidance across the board needs to be crystal clear.
For SKïP, the answer we give is simple: SKïP is not suitable for children or anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you are taking medication, always consult a healthcare professional.
That is our position across SKïP.
For CBD specifically, current UK guidance takes a similarly cautious approach. Food-safety advice states that CBD should not be used by under-18s or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, while people taking medication should seek medical advice before consuming CBD foods.
Prospective parents trying for a baby are also advised against CBD consumption.
CBD itself is becoming increasingly familiar. In December 2025, 10% of people surveyed by the Food Standards Agency said they had consumed CBD within the previous six months.
So as more people become curious about functional drinks, being clear about who SKïP is for matters.
For us, clear guidance does not make the drink less accessible.
It makes it easier to trust.
Key Takeaways
-
SKïP is not suitable for children or anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
-
If you take medication, always consult a healthcare professional before drinking SKïP.
-
For CBD specifically, UK guidance also advises prospective parents trying for a baby against consumption.
-
Being older does not automatically make SKïP unsuitable; medication, health conditions and individual circumstances can matter too.
-
Natural does not mean unregulated, and people can respond differently to the same foods and ingredients.
-
For healthy adults, the FSA currently advises limiting CBD from food to 10mg per day.
Can Pregnant Women Drink SKïP?
No. SKïP is not suitable during pregnancy.
That is our guidance, and we keep it simple.
For CBD specifically, current UK advice also says CBD should not be consumed during pregnancy because of remaining gaps and uncertainties in the safety evidence.
There is no need to turn that into a more complicated answer.
If you are pregnant, SKïP is not suitable.
Can Breastfeeding Women Drink SKïP?
SKïP is not suitable while breastfeeding.
Again, that is our straightforward guidance.
Current, more general CBD advice also recommends avoiding CBD while breastfeeding.
If you have questions about your own circumstances, your doctor, pharmacist or midwife is much better placed to advise you personally.
Can Under-18s Drink SKïP?
No. SKïP is not suitable for under-18s.
SKïP is fruit-led, lightly sparkling and easy to drink, so the format itself feels familiar.
The age guidance still needs to be just as clear.
For CBD specifically, current UK guidance also says products should not be used by people under 18.
So the answer stays simple. SKïP is for adults.
Can People Taking Medication Drink SKïP?
If you take medication, always consult a healthcare professional before drinking SKïP.
We do not answer questions about the suitability of our drinks next to individual medicines or circumstances. This is a conversation for your doctor, pharmacist or relevant healthcare professional.
This is the case for all of our drinks across ranges.
Current external CBD guidance also advises people taking regular medication to seek medical advice before consuming CBD foods.
Your healthcare professional can look at the medicine you actually take, your health and your own circumstances.
Can Older Adults Drink SKïP?
Being older does not automatically make SKïP unsuitable.
Age on its own does not tell you everything about someone’s circumstances.
One person in their seventies may take no medication.
Someone much younger may take several prescriptions or manage a health condition.
That is why we would look beyond age alone.
If you take medication, speak with a healthcare professional.
And if you have a health condition or any uncertainty about whether a particular functional ingredient is suitable for you, asking for personal and professional advice is the correct route to take, and certainly the one we advise at SKïP.
We are all different. That applies at any age.
Why Does SKïP Take This Guidance Seriously?
Because natural does not mean unregulated.
That is something we feel quite strongly about.
-
CBD comes from a plant.
-
Lion’s Mane is a mushroom.
-
Magnesium is naturally present in the body and in foods.
But “natural” has never meant that every ingredient automatically suits every person.
Nuts are natural, and some people are allergic to them.
Dairy is part of everyday life for plenty of people and something others cannot tolerate in the same way.
We all have different circumstances.
The same principle applies when trying something new.
That is why regulation matters to us.
And we do not see clear warnings as something that makes SKïP harder to approach.
Quite the opposite. People are generally more comfortable trying a functional ingredient when the brand is honest about where the limits are.
We are not interested in working around guidance that exists for a reason.
We would rather be clear about it.
What If I’m Trying to Conceive?
SKïP’s own core customer guidance specifically covers children, pregnancy, breastfeeding and medication.
For CBD, there is an additional point worth knowing.
Current UK food-safety advice says prospective parents trying for a baby should avoid CBD because there are still gaps and uncertainties in the evidence.
If you are trying to conceive and are considering a CBD product, speak with your healthcare professional.
At SKïP, we would advise that if you’re unsure, consult with a healthcare professional.
How Much CBD Should a Healthy Adult Have?
For healthy adults, the FSA currently advises limiting CBD from food to 10mg per day.
That figure is useful.
But suitability comes first.
Staying below 10mg does not override separate guidance around age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, trying to conceive or taking medication.
And plenty of people are still unsure how much CBD they actually consume.
FSA research found that 42% of people who had consumed CBD in the previous six months did not know how much they typically consumed in a day. Only 32% reported consuming between 1mg and 10mg.
That is why it helps to consider a few things:
-
Is CBD suitable for me and my circumstances?
-
Do I take medication or have a health condition that I should discuss with a healthcare professional?
-
How much CBD am I consuming?
-
How does that amount fit within the current guidance?
The number matters. But knowing whether the product is suitable for you comes before counting milligrams.
Clear Guidance Is Part of SKïP
SKïP is made to fit into normal moments.
-
Lunch.
-
An afternoon at your desk.
-
Dinner.
-
Friends round.
-
Or simply opening the fridge because you fancy something cold.
We want the drinks to feel approachable.
But being approachable does not mean avoiding the less exciting bits of the conversation.
Sometimes the useful answer is simply: SKïP is not suitable for children or anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you take medication, always consult a healthcare professional.
Being upfront about that is part of how we think trust should work.
Once you know SKïP fits your circumstances, the decision can get back to the nicer part.

FAQs
Can I Drink SKïP While Trying to Conceive?
For CBD specifically, current UK guidance advises prospective parents trying for a baby against consuming CBD because of remaining gaps and uncertainties in the safety evidence.
If you are trying to conceive and considering a CBD product or other functional ingredient speak with a healthcare professional.
What if I Have a Health Condition but Take No Medication?
That depends on your condition and the particular functional ingredient.
If you are unsure whether SKïP is suitable for you, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before including it in your routine.
Are There Particular Medicines I Should Avoid With CBD?
That is not something we would try to answer ourselves. If you take medication, speak with your doctor, pharmacist or relevant healthcare professional before drinking SKÏP or trying any functional ingredient. For CBD specifically, current external CBD guidance advises people taking regular medication to seek medical advice before consuming CBD foods.
Is SKïP the Same as Prescription CBD?
No. SKïP is a food and drink product. Prescription medicines containing CBD or other cannabis-derived ingredients sit within a different regulatory framework. A CBD drink should not be treated as a substitute for prescribed treatment.
Does Buying From a Brand I Trust Change the Suitability Guidance?
No. Product quality and personal suitability are different things. Trusting the brand matters, but it does not change guidance around age, pregnancy, breastfeeding or medication. For us, being trustworthy means being clear about those limits in the first place.
Does Staying Under 10mg of CBD Make It Suitable for Everyone?
No. The FSA’s 10mg daily advice relates to healthy adults. Separate precautionary guidance applies to groups including under-18s, pregnancy, breastfeeding, prospective parents trying for a baby and people taking medication.
Where Can I Check Which Functional Ingredient Is in My SKïP?
The ingredient depends on the SKïP range you choose. Check the individual can or product information to see whether your drink contains cold-pressed CBD, Lion’s Mane or magnesium. That gives you the right starting point for any suitability question.
