Your wellness CBD dose guide
Welcome to CBD wellness. We are delighted to give you a short introduction on how best to use CBD supplements.
Finding the right CBD dose for you is a personal journey. Everyone reacts to CBD differently. We recommend you start with the following amounts + take for a few days to feel how it works for you and remember ROUTINE here is key!
Repeat, repeat, repeat…
While you might feel your CBD kick in within the first few hours, keep in mind that the full scope of effects comes with daily, consistent CBD use.
There are so many benefits of using CBD for longer period of time as it needs to build up in your system over a few weeks and stay in your system longer.
Results… Some taking CBD may see their desired results within the first 1-3 weeks.
Note! This is typically only a sign that your CBD dose is heading in the right direction.
When struggling with more long-lasting issues may find that it takes around 2-3 months to see your desired results and for some 6 months.
Consistency is key! CBD is a marathon, not a sprint.
If you’re not seeing your desired results and you’ve been using CBD for at least a week, reach out to us. It is often that the dose is not correct.

It is important to keep the cortisol levels balanced during the day as too much cortisol can affect your sleep pattern. CBD taken during the day balances the buildup of cortisol in your body.*

a
You can take a combination of CBD oil drops and softgels for longer lasting sleep results. The drops have a near immediate effect; however, the softgels pass through the digestive system and take longer to take effect. If you find yourself waking at night, you can take a partial dose in drops and the other part in capsules.
a
For waking up at night:
Take half of your regular CBD dose in drops and the other half with softgels before bed. For example to reach 50-70 mg for sleep relief, you could take 4 drops 10% CBD oil before bed along with 2 x 10% soft gels (32 mg) or 1 x 20% soft gel (32 mg).
a
If you struggle to fall asleep and prefer to take softgels, you can take them more in advance prior to going to bed to give them time to be digested and absorbed.
If you do not feel the desired results, consider increasing the dose before bedtime.
How to take CBD oil?
Place the CBD oil drops under your tongue, leave it for 60 seconds and then swallow. This allows the CBD and other cannabinoids to enter the bloodstream via the mouth.
How to take CBD softgels?
Swallow, do not chew. Give yourself from 1/2 hour to sometimes 2 hours for them to take effect as they pass through the digestive system prior to entering the bloodstream.
How to use CBD Vegan Protein Powder?
