Ingest CBD Orally with SoftGels
If you’ve never taken CBD before ingesting it is an easy place to start, You’re probably familiar with and maybe already using capsules and pills so ingesting CBD oil this way won’t feel too different. Plus monitoring dosage is easy with capsules since they come in pre-measured sizes.
Dosage is important and having a consistent concentration makes it easy to find out what works for you. Many customers start with our 25mg SoftGel capsule and slowly increase in 25mg increments until finding their ideal dosage. Capsules can take 45 minutes or longer to work itself into your system, and then last for several hours.
Ingest CBD Orally with a Tincture
You can also just take CBD oil, which is called a tincture. Generally you consume this by placing it under your tongue and holding it there for up to a minute. Some people even use it in their food, or add a few drops to their favorite smoothie recipe. Why choose a tincture? It’s easy to adjust your dose adding or subtracting a few drops, and it might work a little faster.
Ingest CBD Orally using Gummies
The third indigestible option is an edible such as a chewable gummie. These small, tasty morsels can be found in a variety of flavors and sizes yet still pack a CBD punch.
Oral products such as our SoftGels, tinctures and Gems have a systemic effect, meaning they work on your whole body. But for those looking to help with a dodgy knee or tight back, a cream might be preferred.
Topical Application
If you’re mostly looking to try CBD for muscle aches and pains, a topical application (one you put on your body, not in your mouth) can be a good option. The value of topical applications is that they work quickly and target one area. Athletes love them for pain and injury.
We have a range of CBD products created just for topical use. Each one is packaged with other herbal and natural remedies to deliver a solution for different types of muscle and joint pain. Had a stak? Try our arnica formulation. Going out on a cold day and want to keep your knee pain at bay? We have a warming cream for you.
Isolate Vs Full Spectrum
You’ll notice that our products come in two versions, Isolate and Full Spectrum. The reason for this is that we believe, and science suggests, that we absorb things better in their natural form. For CBD, that means consuming the other terpenes and cannabinoids that exist in the hemp plant. This is what we give you in our Full Spectrum, or “whole plant” product. However, If you’re worried about a drug test at work the CBD only, THC-free Isolate is a safer bet as most of these tests look for THC. Neither of the products is designed to “get you high”, but we want to offer an option for everyone. Learn more about the differences between Isolate vs. Full Spectrum CBD.
