Where to Start with CBD

So you want to try CBD, but you aren’t sure where to begin. We’re here to help simplify that process.

First and foremost, we recommend for all customers to start with Cannabidiol (CBD) Oil. Taking CBD orally is the most effective way for the molecule to interact with our bodies through our Endocannabinoid System. Make sure you select a CBD oil that is formulated with USDA-certified organic MCT oil for a smooth taste, better absorption, and added nutritional benefits.

Your first step is to decide which strength CBD oil you want to begin with. The number on the bottle is typically the total amount of CBD. The amount per serving should be on the nutrition label. Start with an amount between 15-40mg per serving. Use it regularly for at least a week or two before deciding if you want to increase or decrease the amount.

Everybody processes CBD differently so you will need to play around with your serving size, frequency, and time of day to find what works best for you. The key to finding the amount of CBD that works for you is through consistency of use.

Your next step is to decide what product you want to use to compliment your CBD oil. Combining different CBD products with different delivery methods will help to maximize your CBD experience.

If you are looking for a fast-acting product to provide quick on-the-spot relief, try CBD Isolate. Isolate is 99% pure CBD and comes in powder form. It also works great to calm your nerves in a pinch. Isolate can be taken on its own by holding under the tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing or added to food and drink.

For relief from aches and pains, or for the perfect workout recovery tool, a CBD topical is an excellent choice. 

Lotions and creams are water-based, whereas salves are oil-based. Water-based lotion/creams will absorb quickly. Oil-based salves will stay on the skin longer making them perfect to massage thoroughly over an area. Don’t be fooled by low potency topicals only giving you 50-200mg of CBD in the entire jar or tin. Look for products that give you 400-1000mg for best results.

Looking for a way to wind down from a stressful day or relax sore muscles?  CBD Bath salts are quickly becoming a favorite with many shoppers. 

Edibles like CBD Gummies are another convenient way to get your daily serving. 

They work similarly to the CBD oil as both these products are taken orally. Look for a gummy with at least 10-20mg of CBD or more.
