Everyone responds differently - If CBD energizes you, take in the morning. If it relaxes you, take before bed.

What is CBD?
Scientifically known as Cannabidiol, CBD is an extract from the female version of Cannabis with non-psychoactive benefits for health and wellness. From our reviews, CBD has helped our customers find natural relief for insomnia, pain and anxiety disorders.
#1. Everyone Responds Differently
As you begin infusing your wellness routine with CBD, you may find it produces certain effects that make a specific time of day best for you:
Some report CBD makes them feel “awake” or “focused,” so they take CBD Oil first thing in the morning.
If CBD helps you feel relaxes, you should aim to take it before bed.
#2. Consistency is Key
Use these 3 rules to begin your CBD journey:
Observe how your body responds
Establish your daily dose
Remain consistent
Observing how your body responds to CBD is the best way to determine when to schedule your daily dose. Staying consistent helps your body build it’s CBD levels, promoting long-term benefits.
#3. Beginners Should Take CBD Before Bed
If its your first time taking CBD Oil, we advise taking it before bed as sleep is a commonly reported benefit of CBD. It generally takes between 15-30 minutes to begin feeling effects, so starting with CBD Oil 30 minutes before bed can help you see when taking CBD is best for your body.
How Long Do CBD Effects Last?
CBD Oil is non-intoxicating, with full effects reporting to remain between 3 to 8 hours depending on these variables:
The amount of CBD ingested - 25mg (10 drops) is the best starting dose
Delivery method - Oils, Capsules and Topicals discussed below
Body fat percentage
Total body size
To simplify this, we recommend any size person take 10 drops of Full Spectrum CBD Oil, 1 time daily at your time of choice. This amount equals 25mg of active CBD.
CBD Delivery Methods Compared
CBD Oil, Capsules and Topicals offer different forms of delivery with different effects.
#1. CBD Oil
Also called CBD Tinctures, this very-popular delivery method offers rapid absorption of CBD into the bloodstream, promoting the best effect. Most people report an effect within 30 minutes of ingesting the oil, lasting between 3 to 8 hours.
#2. CBD Capsules
Convenient and travel-ready, Capsules enshrine CBD Oil in simple gelatin capsules. This method is not as potent as CBD Oil, as stomach acids in the digestive system can reduce CBD effects. Customers who prefer capsules report an effect within 1 hour afer taking a CBD capsule, lasting between 4 to 8 hours.
#3. CBD Topical
Scents of wilderness bringing on-the-go natural relief make CBD Topicals a beloved delivery method by many. Research shows topicals bypass stomach acids in the digestive system, promoting quicker effects than capsules. CBD Topicals are reported to take effect within 20 minutes of application, lasting up to 8 hours.
How Does CBD Work in the Body?
When CBD absorbs into the body, it helps bring balance to your mind and body by stimulating an internal signaling system called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).
Humans and canines share a similar ECS, this natural system regulates bodily functions such as:
Appetite
Immune response
Mood
Sleep
Pain management
The effects of CBD Oil have reported to help our customers reduce pain, support better sleep, decrease stress and provide anxiety relief.
How Much CBD Should I Take Per Day?
Starting low and slow at 25mg per serving size (10 drops one time per day) will help introduce your biological systems to CBD. Give your body 1-2 weeks of 25mg, twice per day before dosing up. Contact us with any questions.
When it comes to benefits, remember to set real expectations and stay the course. Everyone’s body responds differently to CBD, the best strategy is to stay consistent as your body builds its CBD levels.
How Often Should I Take CBD?
Just as our bodies can become deficient in vitamins and minerals, we can equally become deficient in Cannabinoids, especially the CBD Cannabinoid. Establishing a daily ritual of 10 drops of Full Spectrum CBD Oil helps CBD build up in your system, increasing it’s therapeutic effects.
