Are you wondering how to take CBD oil right after purchasing it from our website? Well, sit tight because we will address that in this comprehensive post. Different methods are available based on your lifestyle or the time you want the effects to kick in once you take it.

Let’s check out each method and why people opt for a particular one instead of another.

CBD Capsules are an excellent way to take your CBD oil if you want to be consistent with how much you consume. Each capsule has the exact dosage of CBD oil. All our products come with how-to-use instructions.

And if you want, you can use our handy product picker right here on the Savage Cabbage website. It works best if you are not sure of the product to choose. Use it to select the best product based on your requirements.

If you swallow as capsules, you can feel the effects of your CBD oil one to four hours after ingestion. You should always check out the precise how-to-use instruction in the packaging to ensure you take the correct number of capsules.

Take a few drops with CBD oil tinctures

Another popular method to take CBD is to use tinctures. It works by using a dropper to administer CBD-infused oil; it is best practice to take CBD oil under the tongue sublingually in order to maximise effectiveness.

You can get a variety of flavours of CBD oil that make it more palpable, especially if you don’t like the taste of the extract. You can add different flavoured CBD oils from Charlotte’s Web to lots of foods and drinks.

Tinctures are made by mixing hemp extracts with carrier oils, hence a great option if you want all-natural and vegan-friendly CBD oil. The underside of your tongue is packed with capillaries, making it easy for the CBD to get into your bloodstream.

Eat it in CBD edibles

CBD Gummies are an exciting and delicious way of consuming CBD. There are many kinds of edibles, including candies and treats like gummies and mints. Ingesting CBD edibles is a great way to get the benefits of CBD oil in no time.

It will often take one to four hours for the CBD oil effects to kick in when on edibles. So, they are probably not a go-to choice if you need immediate results. They are, however, a great way to take your CBD, especially if you don’t like the taste of the CBD oil from a tincture and don’t like swallowing capsules. They also offer a fun and flavoursome consumption method compared to other options.

Rub on CBD topicals

CBD topicals and cosmetics are a great way to use CBD. In essence, topicals are made by infusing CBD oil into beeswax and hard oils like coconut balm. Many topicals are made to have the same properties as warming or cooling creams in today’s market.

CBD-infused topicals can be used as cosmetic creams and have recovery properties thanks to the warming and cooling effects. It is important to note that topicals should not be ingested but applied directly to the skin.

Use a CBD vape pen

Vapes are another way you can take CBD oil. They are designed to heat the CBD to a vapour that you can inhale into your lungs. There is a wide range of vapes based on sizes and shapes, with the benefit being instant absorption into your body. You can decide which one suits you best based on the strength, flavours and type of vape you are looking for.

This method is the fastest way to feel the effects of CBD. You will often see people out at bars and restaurants using vape devices; this is a great discrete way of consuming CBD for those hard to deal with social interactions.

Put some drops in your smoothie.

The sky’s the limit with CBD oil. Many people find the taste of CBD oil off-putting, which is why creativity with CBD can go a long way with your daily health routine.

Why not add it to your favourite smoothie instead?

A smoothie is an excellent and healthy way to start the day off. Adding CBD oil will save you from the taste without taking away the benefits. It will take at least thirty to sixty minutes to feel the effects when using this method.

Charlotte’s Web CBD Oil comes in various flavours, which makes them a great addition to your smoothie as an additional ingredient.

Add some drops to your coffee. 

If it can go into a smoothie, you can go a step further and add it to your coffee. Many adults rely on their morning coffee to start them off. Hence, there is no better time to get in your daily dose of CBD than this. Adding several drops of CBD oil to your coffee will have you feeling the effects alongside your caffeine boost, but helping to reduce the any jitters.

Think about it – the supplement of CBD can be a great way to relax your mind in the morning; taking it in a cup of coffee as you start the day can be helpful.

Add it to your salad dressing  

As mentioned earlier, CBD oil is often infused into a carrier oil, which you can consume and wait for the effects. Salads are delicious and can be a healthy way to get CBD into your bloodstream.

Adding two teaspoons of CBD oil to your dressing will not affect the taste significantly. And in 30 minutes, you will begin feeling the effects. Highly recommended is the Charlotte’s Web Olive Oil – Natural flavour, which doubles up as a tasty salad dressing with a functional benefit!

Make a cocktail

Many adults enjoy a cocktail session, which is another excellent way to take CBD oil. Simply add several drops of the CBD oil into your glass and stir.

FAQs

So there you have it. There’s a few ways of taking CBD, and here is a few short answers to several commonly asked questions about how to take CBD oil.

How much CBD oil should I take?

All Savage Cabbage and Charlotte’s Web products always have precise dosing instructions. Take your time to read them through.

Don’t exceed the suggested dose even if you don’t feel effects after taking the dosage. Perhaps switching to a different product that may suit your requirements could be the solution. Simply contact us to discuss those needs.

What are full and broad spectrum oils?

Full spectrum oils contain high concentrations of CBD and a full array of other beneficial minor cannabinoids. Broad Spectrum oils typically do not contain as many cannabinoids, and usually have THC removed.

A study suggests that CBD is more effective with other cannabinoids due to the “Entourage Effect”. We here at Savage Cabbage are huge advocates for true Full Spectrum extracts that contain the essence of the whole plant, the way nature intended.

How long will it take for CBD oil to work?

As you have seen, there are different ways of getting CBD into your system. Your chosen method will determine when you should start feeling the effects.

Edibles take the longest time because CBD needs to be fully digested in the stomach before becoming absorbed by the liver; this can take between one to four hours.

Vaping works faster because you inhale the compounds through your lungs. You could feel the effect in minutes. Tinctures are also a great way to feel the effects more quickly. A few drops under the tongue will do the trick within an hour.

Summary

You can take CBD oil in a variety of ways, and the right method for you depends on your lifestyle. People choose different methods based on their needs.

If you are unsure of the method to use, start with a tincture and try new ways as you get more familiar with CBD and its benefits. You can always contact us if you have any questions about the methods above on how to take CBD oil.
