Experts advise newcomers to start with a low dose of CBD oil, such as 25 milligrams per day, and gradually increase their dose to a level that provides the desired effects. This process is best done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider, as reactions to CBD may vary from person to person.
For CBD oil to take effect, it must first be digested through a process called first-pass digestion. Preliminary research suggests that consuming CBD oil with high-fat foods may increase CBD bioavailability, but additional human trials are needed. CBD tinctures are taken under the tongue and are absorbed through the mucous membranes, which may mean they work more quickly, although more scientific evidence is needed to support this theory.
What concentration of CBD oil is best for me?
There is no standard dose or potency when it comes to taking CBD oil. Effects vary from person to person and depend on the type of CBD used, as well as other factors, such as height, weight, and metabolic function. Additionally, the effective dose of CBD oil may change depending on the intended use, such as whether it is used to promote sleep, improve pain levels, or reduce anxiety. More research is needed to determine effective doses and standard potencies of CBD oil.
CBD oil is used without much supporting evidence for self-medication for a variety of conditions, including pain and anxiety, says Dr. Piomelli. If someone decides to try it, I would recommend starting with a low daily dose (50 milligrams maximum) and being sure to watch for side effects like drowsiness (sleepiness), fatigue, and diarrhea. I would not exceed a daily dose of 250 milligrams and would not take it for more than two to three weeks.
How much CBD oil should I take?
The amount of CBD oil an individual should take varies depending on the potency of the oil, the type of CBD it uses, and the desired effects. Additionally, CBD oil effects and absorption rates depend on additional factors, such as body weight, height, and individual metabolism.
Experts generally recommend starting with a low dose and potency, then building from there to find the ideal CBD oil dose for you.
How long does it take for CBD oil to work?
Some research suggests that keeping CBD oil under the tongue may result in absorption into the bloodstream, meaning the effects may be felt sooner than other delivery methods, but additional studies are necessary to support these assertions.
Meanwhile, swallowed CBD oil can take between 30 minutes and four hours to take effect, according to Dr. Piomelli. Additionally, research indicates that the bioavailability of CBD increases when consumed with a high-fat or high-calorie meal rather than consuming CBD alone or on an empty stomach.
A full stomach speeds up absorption, but it can still take hours for CBD to fully absorb, adds Dr. Piomelli.
