Taking CBD supplements daily
The popularity of hemp products has inflated massively in the past 10 years. Individuals everywhere are waking up to the idea of introducing hemp into their day-to-day lives. Recently, people have been raving about hemp products. More specifically, CBD products. But why? In this article, we will briefly go over what CBD is and why so many individuals are so eager to supplement it. We will also discuss some of its benefits and how to find the right dosage.
Let’s begin with the basics; what is CBD?
Brief introduction to CBD:
Essentially, CBD is one of 113 cannabinoids found in both the Hemp and Cannabis plant. CBD is also referred to as cannabidiol. Higher quantities of CBD are more commonly found in the Hemp plant, hence why it is mostly extracted from Hemp. You may have heard of the popular cannabinoid THC, which is the compound in cannabis that gets you high. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it will not get you high. You can take as much CBD as you can and it will never result in any ‘high’.
CBD can be an amazing aid for many mental and physical issues just like THC. However, many individuals wish to get the benefits of THC without the often unwanted high that comes along with it. As CBD is non-psychoactive, it is also legal in most places in the world, unlike THC!
What is the most effective way to supplement CBD?
There are many ways to take CBD supplements. With the market expanding, the range of different products you can find nowadays is incredible! We believe that one of the best ways to supplement this versatility cannabinoid is via CBD drops. The reason being, it is one of the easiest ways to give yourself the exact dosage needed. CBD oil comes in all kinds of different strengths. Ranging from 2% to 15%. Taking CBD oil with a few percent of CBD is better than taking nothing. However, if you want to make it worth it, we always recommend taking at least 5%.
CBD oil is meant to be taken under the tongue. If you are taking small doses of CBD, it is fine to take it at any point in the day. However, if you are taking a higher dosage of CBD supplements, it is best to take it before bed. One of the most commonly reported benefits of taking CBD is that it helps to relax your mind and body without the high of traditional cannabis. That being said, it can make you feel more relaxed, which may get in the way of your day.

How do I find the right dosage?
Finding the right dosage for you isn’t as hard as it sounds. Firstly, you will have to assess why you are taking it. For example, it is clear that someone who is taking CBD to simply supplement it VS someone who is taking it to treat chronic pain will require different dosages. Once you’ve assessed why you are wanting to supplement CBD, then you need to decide on the % of CBD you want in your drops. This will depend on why you are taking it in the first place. You will then need to decide how many drops will work for your needs. Once all of that is done and you’ve acquired your CBD, you are done… Or nearly done.
Although those are all the steps you need to pysically supplement, there is one last step we always like to highlight for those taking CBD supplements. This last step is to never stop educating yourself. This is key. Whether this is your first-ever time taking a CBD supplement, or you have been doing so for years, self-educating should never stop. The world of CBD and cannabinoids is a vast one and new things are constantly popping up all the time. The most helpful thing you can do when supplementing CBD is continue educating yourself.
