How Do I Use CBD Oil?

CBD, which is extracted from the cannabis or hemp plant, is starting to be found in a wide variety of products. How do you know what products are effective, and which ones are just hype? One tried and true product is Hemp CBD Tincture. Some people refer to it as simply CBD Oil.

TuneUP 750mg Full Spectrum for Repair & Recovery

Tinctures

Hemp CBD Tinctures, or CBD Oil, is commonly thought of as a safe and effective method to use CBD. You are able to measure either by the individual drop or by a measured level in a dropper. The oil normally comes in a glass container with a measuring dropper. The oil can range in color from very light to golden to dark green. The color can vary depending on a variety of factors. Among these are filtration and how much extraneous plant matter was used in the processing. The tincture may also have additives such as sugar or flavorings, which may affect the appearance. TuneUP CBD is 100% hemp. Our formulation results in a product with no fillers, preservatives, or extraneous ingredients that get in the way of maximum absorption and effectiveness.

How do I Take CBD Oil?

The oil is placed via sublingual administration, or more commonly known as "under the tongue." The oil is held under the tongue for at least 30 seconds, up to two minutes, or until it dissolves. This method allows more rapid assimilation of CBD than simply swallowing the oil, eating a gummy, or taking a pill. It bypasses the liver and is absorbed more rapidly and completely in the bloodstream.

How Much Should I Take?

We recommend that most people start with a lower dose and work upwards. A good starting point is 10-15 mg, or about 1/2 of a dropper of our TuneUP 750mg Tincture. Dosing can be safely increased as needed. A common dose for those who are looking to ease symptoms of an active lifestyle or recover from workouts is 25mg, or approximately 1 full dropper of our 750mg formula. Some people take more with no ill effects. We recommend taking a CBD tincture twice daily, and up to three times daily.

Why is the dosing on CBD Oil so Confusing?

A variety of strengths of product are on the market. Lower concentrations, for example, under 200mg for a 1 oz. bottle, have a lot of carrier oil in them. What this means is that the CBD extract is mixed with another oil to dilute it. The other oils can be hemp seed, coconut oil, MCT oil, avocado oil, or others. 

 How Long Before Tinctures Take Effect?

Tinctures typically take 15-30 minutes to work if they are allowed to dissolve completely under the tongue. However, users have reported that it takes 1-2 weeks before full effectiveness. The exact mechanism of how CBD works is not known, so changes in the body's pain signaling and improvements to inflammation may take time.

What Should I Expect the Effects of CBD Oil to Be?

Pain relief from CBD is more described as the "lessening of pain" or the "absence of pain" rather than a blunting of it as an opiate. Many users report being able to do movements that were difficult. Some people report increases in range of motion and faster recovery from workouts and activity.

It does not cause a "high" or major changes in perception. People often report decreases in anxiety, or feeling as if their "flight-or-fight" response is blunted. And though it does not typically cause a large amount of drowsiness, those who use CBD say that sleep is better.
