Getting Started With CBD Dosing

man dosing with CBD cannabis oilOne of the first questions that people ask when they first learn about taking CBD is, what is CBD? This is an important thing to learn about as a beginner. But once you know what CBD is, you can move on to information about how to take it. And of course, the first thing you might want to learn about taking CBD is to make sure you know how to dose CBD products. Here’s everything you need to know as a beginner.

Starting Dose

The starting dose is an incredibly important part of making sure you know how to use CBD properly. Although you can certainly adjust up or down as you go, it’s what initially starts your exposure to CBD. The thing is, nobody’s ideal dose is the same, which means that no starting dose can usually work well for everyone.

Microdosing is a very common answer to this problem. With microdosing, you start at an incredibly small dose, usually only one or two drops of a low-strength CBD oil. Then, you increase the dose by one or two drops every few days. Eventually, you’ll get to a dose that works perfectly for you, and that’s where you should stay.

Different Products

CBD retailers offer different types of CBD products. At Charlotte’s Web, you can buy CBD oil, CBD isolate, CBD gummies, CBD capsules, and much more. These all work great for different reasons. Most of the time, the product description of each products can give you an idea of the best reasons that you might want to use that product over another one.

When you purchase your CBD products, you’ll want to first check the dosage of the product. For example, Charlotte’s Web’s least strong CBD oil is 7mg/ml, while its highest strength is 60mg/ml. It also has CBD gummies with 10mg of CBD per serving. Then, make sure you know any other active and inactive ingredient in the product.

The Right Retailer

Of course, it’s extremely important that you get a great CBD retailer. If you get a good retailer, you’ll be able to purchase any of their products without worrying about whether you’re getting a good product. That’s especially true when it comes to a retailer that offers supplements, because supplements aren’t federally regulated. More than many other products, you want a CBD manufacturer that will put in a lot of work to make sure you stay safe.

With a good retailer like Charlotte’s Web, you’ll notice a few different things. First, they answer the question, what is CBD? This makes their products open even to very beginner CBD users. Next, they offer a variety of different products, like CBD gummies, CBD capsules, and CBD oil. Lastly, they offer third-party analysis results so that you know you’re getting truly great products every time.

When to Expect Results

When you first start taking CBD, you shouldn’t expect results immediately. This is especially true for microdosing, where your first dose will be very small, but it’s true for all CBD doses. The CBD needs to have some time to act on the endocannabinoid system in your body, which means you won’t see results immediately. But how long will it take?

In general, it will probably take at least a few days before you start feeling the effect of the CBD you’re taking, and may take a little longer if you’re starting with microdosing. Continue to move up in your dosing for at least a few weeks; at that point, if you don’t see any benefits, you may want to try a different type of CBD.

Conclusion

Different people take CBD differently, and there are plenty of different valid ways to take CBD. But as a beginner, it’s always good to start small and slowly increase your dosage so that you know you’re getting the most out of it. Once you know what CBD is, you can move on to making sure that it works for you specifically.
