In our last CBD video, we spoke about what CBD is and the types of products it can be found in.
In this video, we will learn how to get started with CBD tinctures, but first, let’s talk a little about CBD potency.
The higher the mg (milligrams) of CBD in a product, the stronger the product is.
Just as a side note - If you come across a CBD product containing MCG (micrograms) be aware that this measurement is much less potent, 1000x less to be precise so avoid CBD products labelled in mcg (micrograms).
You may find CBD tinctures available in a variety of strengths such as…
250mg
300mg
500mg
1000mg
1500mg
2000mg
3000mg
It is important to remember that CBD is not a painkiller and is not intended to treat or cure your ailments.
CBD is used for creating balance to help your body take care of itself.
CBD is much more effective when used as a daily supplement and the best way to get the maximum benefit is to use it consistently as part of your daily routine.
If you’re new to CBD, a higher strength product isn’t guaranteed to be more effective than starting on a lower dose.
Since every human body is different, what works for 1 won’t necessarily work for another. The key is to find your sweet spot and dosing accordingly.
The best way to find your CBD sweet spot is by starting on a lower dose first, this is because your body will only absorb what it needs and will then waste the rest.
Dosing
Now that we’ve covered strengths and established that CBD is best used as a daily supplement let’s talk about dosing.
You’ve purchased your CBD tincture, how do you use it?
Take your pipette and place 2-3 drops under your tongue, hold for 60 seconds and don’t swallow. You can repeat this process 2-3 times a day.
Avoid increasing your dose for at least 7 days.
Once you have been taking 2-3 drops, 2-3 times a day for 7 days you can now increase your dose if you feel necessary.
To avoid your body wasting CBD it is best to increase your dose by just 1 drop at a time every 7 days until you achieve your desired results.
You can keep increasing the number of drops you take the per dose until you are taking 5 drops 3 times a day. If you haven’t achieved your desired results it is worth considering increasing the strength of your product.
For example; if you started with a 500mg tincture consider increasing it to a 1000mg tincture.
Once you have increased the strength of your product you can now reduce your dose back to 2-3 drops, 2-3 times a day.
Keep repeating this process until you find your sweet spot.
