Some first-time users of CBD might experience their desired benefits right away, while others may not. Believe it or not, this is not uncommon. However, you still might be wondering how long it takes for CBD to work.
Everyone reacts differently to CBD. An appropriate serving size for one person might be not enough or too much for another. There area several factors which can also contribute to your experience.
Method Of Consumption
Taking a tincture sublingually (underneath the tongue) absorbs the oil directly into the mucous membranes found in the mouth. This is considered by many to be the fastest method of absorption. By contrast, food or beverages containing CBD go through your digestive tract before they can be absorbed. This means the amount of CBD which ends up in your system will be relatively low.
CBD can also be applied directly to the skin when using balms, coconut oil or massage oil. These topical products are absorbed through the surface of the skin and interact with localized cannabinoid receptors.
Physical Differences
Someone with a larger body mass will likely require more CBD than a smaller person to achieve desired benefits. Your metabolism also plays a role in how long the body processes and metabolizes cannabinoids. In other words, CBD will typically stay in the body of someone with a larger body mass for longer.
Serving Size
We recommend that first-time CBD users start out with a small serving size and then adjust as needed. If you are not achieving the desired benefits, you can slowly increase your serving size until you do.
Your CBD Product
None of these factors matter if you’re not using high-quality CBD products. Unfortunately, some products do not contain the amount of CBD that is advertised.
Look for third-party lab tests on the company’s website to review exactly how much CBD is in your item. You should also read consumer reviews and only use well-established brands.
All of our batches undergo third-party lab testing to ensure a quality product. Results can be viewed by clicking on the “Test Results” tab under each individual product page on our website.

I have been using both full spectrum and isolate, but prefer the full spectrum. However, the taste is pretty rough; even with the chocolate mint/mocha flavoring. Any other recommendations on how to mask the flavor?
Thanks for a high quality product!

Hi Shelby, The flavor of our full spectrums is potent and not easily masked. You can reach out to CBD communities on facebook asking for any recommendations and tips. You can also checkout our blog on cooking with CBD, if that is of interest to you.

Regarding the Method of Consumption above, will the Tincture deliver more CBD oil to the body than a Capsule of the same potency?? I hate the taste of the tincture so am considering the capsule. Thanx. Jim

Hi Jim, Capsules are a great way to get the same benefits as a tincture - without the hassle of measuring out a serving size every time. We offer the capsules in 10mg, 25mg, and 50mg, so you can choose your potency. Plus they are also flavorless!

Thank you for making your products affordable to all. Fortunately my doctor encourages the use of CBD products. He sells some in his office but they are out of my price range. When I told him that I was purchasing from you he encouraged me to continue and also told me what dosage / milligrams would be good for me to take. Love your tinctures and your balms.

Hi, I've been using the full spectrum tincture sublingually and it works well. I just bought cbd full spectrum capsules. Will the amount of CBD which ends up in my system from the capsules be less than the tincture?

Hi Lori, apologies for the delayed response.
In terms of effectiveness, both CBD capsules and tinctures are equal. You will receive the same benefits of CBD.

I've found over time, I've needed less and less to get desired effect.

I had a herniated disc awhile back and eventually had to have back surgery which has now left me with stenosis. I clean houses for a living and after work I’m in severe pain! Which of your products do you recommend to help curb the pain?

You should put on your label of tincture to 'Shake Well'. Other wise there is product left on the bottom of the bottle when empty.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave. We will look into adding this to our labels moving forward.

I’ve tried a few of your products, what do you recommend for anxiety attacks? I’ve recently found that THC has brought anxiety attacks (rapid heart rate). Until it’s legalized in my state, when I can experiment more freely for my insomnia/anxiety attacks. I need something that’s highly potent but doesn’t elevate my heart rate.

Although uncommon, some people have experienced symptoms related to THC use. This is a possibility for all full spectrum CBD products. Everyone has different cannabinoid receptors, and will react differently. Some people experience no effects, whereas others may.
Full spectrum products contain up to 0.3% THC, naturally occurring plant terpenes (which give a natural taste/odor), and other cannabinoids. If you are looking for a CBD product with no THC, you may want to try CBD isolate products. The difference between full spectrum and isolate is that isolate has less THC and is considered "THC Free."
Isolate based products are highly unlikely to give a person THC effects. You may want to try an isolate based High Potency tincture like the Blood Orange, Wintermint, Tropical Breeze, or Flavorless.
If you have any questions, our customer service team will be happy to assist!
