The 2022 Men's Health CBD Awards

YOU KNOW that cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from marijuana, won’t get you high. You also know that CBD is now in everything, including drinks, snacks, creams, and dog treats. But what you may not realize is that even though the FDA can clamp down on companies selling CBD illegally, it has never approved a CBD product to treat a disease or condition. That leaves you on your own—and that’s why we’re here to help. Our team searched for products that went through third-party certification, then a small army of us tested each to see if they delivered what’s advertised: deeper sleep, less pain, or a chiiiillll vibe.

Our Process

WHEN IT comes to sourcing CBD, testing is key. Of the 200 products we tire-kicked, we picked the 30 best. Each winner was also tested by a third-party lab for CBD content and heavy-metal toxicity, with results available on the company’s website—keep your eyes peeled for a certificate of analysis, or COA. We leaned toward organic, U. S.-grown CBD. To make sure they worked, we sampled every one based on their purpose: to fight stress, boost sleep, ease pain, or improve appearance. And yes, the dog treat had a (canine) tester, too.
