fourfive alternatives: how to compare UK CBD brands
What are the best alternatives to fourfive CBD in the UK?
fourfive is a well-known UK CBD brand, founded by athletes and built around sport and recovery. If you're weighing it against other UK CBD brands, ours included, the useful checks are the same for everyone: how much CBD is in the bottle and per serving, whether the product is certified THC-free, whether batch lab reports are published, where you can actually buy it, and the price per mg of CBD. Grass & Co.'s CBD Originals — CALM, EASE and REST oils plus the EASE Muscle Balm — contain no THC, publish their lab certificates, and are stocked at Holland & Barrett.
