Let's answer some common questions!
🌱How long does it take to feel the effects of CBD oil?
For some people, results are immediate. A lot of people will notice better sleep the first night they take CBD. For others it might take two weeks to a month to even notice anything. So it’s important to be patient when starting to take CBD. A lot of people give up too soon, or don’t do enough experimenting to figure out what dose is appropriate.
🌱I’ve been taking CBD oil for a while now and not feeling anything
If a person has been taking CBD for an extended period of time and not getting the results they are looking for, chances are they are not taking a high enough dose.
🌱The general recommendation for dosing, is to start low (5mg per day) and go slow – gradually working up the dose every five to seven days.
🌱For somebody that isn’t struggling with major inflammation, or mental health issues, a 10mg daily serving at night should be enough for most people to sleep better, but occasionally more might be needed. For more “extreme” issues such as depression, anxiety, and chronic pain you might need as high as a 60mg daily dose. It’s important to experiment to find out the right dosage needed, which is also why it’s important to be patient and give it time.
Tips for making sure you get the most out of your CBD experience:
Listen to your body – If you feel “off” consider cutting back your dosage, or if you are not getting the desired results, increase your dose, but pay close attention to your body, and even consider keeping a journal to track your results.
Being consistent with dosing – It’s important to take your dose daily for maximum results. Missing a dose will lessen the amount of CBD in your system, thus decreasing its efficacy.
Spread out your dosing schedule – Sometimes it might work best to take a 10mg dose four times throughout the day (for a total of 40mg), instead of one large dose in the morning or evening. This is another reason why experimentation is important – and listening to your body.
It’s very important to remember, that what dose works for one person might not work for the next. The period of time it took for the CBD to take effect might vary as well. Just as people react differently to medications, we all react differently to CBD as well. So, be patient and experiment while listening to your body, and you are likely to get the benefits you are looking for.
