There are numerous factors to consider when buying CBD oil related to you, your health, and your preferences. With the fantastic variety of CBD oils we offer, you are likely wondering: which one would be right for me?
If you are seeking CBD for your furry friend, the first thing you should know is that there are pet-specific CBD products. Depending on your dog or cat’s size, you can adjust the dosage as needed for your pet. (Click to tweet)
Here’s the deal:
Now, assuming you are seeking CBD oil for yourself, how do you pick the right one? Are you highly sensitive to bitter tastes? If so, you may want to consider CBD Capsules. On the other hand, if you have trouble swallowing pills, go with standard CBD oil.
Are you looking for a topical CBD product to apply to your skin? We offer a variety of topical products, including two Organic Skin Creams and a CBD-Infused Herbal Balm. These topicals are designed for people hoping to remedy the skin issues that plague them. Furthermore, topical CBD helps alleviate muscle soreness and joint discomfort.

2.2 How Much CBD Should I Take the First Time?
When it comes to your first time consuming your CBD oil, there are a few considerations. The first should be to determine what your daily CBD oil dose will be. From there, decide whether you’ll consume more than one dose session per day. The larger your dose, the more you should split it up over the day. You’ll generally want roughly 6–8 hours between each dose.
The second consideration should be the timing of your doses relative to your meals. An empty stomach is inadvisable since some individuals can feel discomfort due to the oil content. There is also research that suggests taking CBD along with food helps to increase absorption into your bloodstream.
What’s the bottom line?
Finally, you should start with a lower amount of CBD oil than your desired dosage. A good starting point would be 5mg of CBD per dose and no more than 10mg per day. Once you start consuming CBD, write down some notes on how you feel. If there are no problems after 3–7 days, you can increase the dose by 5mg until the desired effects are attained or you reach your goal.
If you’ve been wondering why you should start with less, the next answer will tell you, but here’s a hint. It’s called titration.

2.3 What Is Titration and Why Is It Important?
Titration is a common practice in medicine, used with many different types of pharmaceuticals. The basic idea is to start low and to increase the dosage to avoid potential adverse effects. It takes time to develop tolerance to some compounds while we work toward the dose that will be effective.
This process also applies to the opposite practice of ramping down a dosage before stopping completely. The general principles are the same, but the goal is to avoid withdrawal effects. You can titrate your CBD oil dose both when you begin and when you stop taking it. The larger your desired daily dose, the more critical titration is for avoiding side effects.
That said, keep in mind that CBD is broadly well-tolerated and has mild side effects. [2]

2.4 What Are the Best Practices for Your Daily CBD Routine?
We have discovered that you should gradually increase your daily CBD dose and avoid taking it on an empty stomach. Here are a few other best practices to consider before you start taking CBD oil:
#1 Time Your Dose Right
When starting your dosing, you may want to start by taking your dose before bed. Better yet, take the CBD oil with the final meal/snack of your day. Some people can feel tired after taking CBD oil, and so this timing ensures there are no problems. (Click to tweet)
#2 Take Notes
A bit of note-taking can make a world of difference. Write down your schedule and cross off each dosage session as you complete it. This way, you never have to doubt whether you’ve taken your dose already. You can also provide space to write some notes on the effects you feel from taking CBD. Over time, you may not notice the small improvements that build and build, which is why tracking can be so helpful.
#3 Store Well
Storing your CBD oil in the fridge can help keep it out of unwanted hands (or paws). This practice also helps ensure that the product stays fresh no matter the time of year. (Click to tweet)
#4 Increase Absorption
One way to increase the absorption of CBD oil is by letting it pool under your tongue. This process is called sublingual absorption, and certain medications and supplements recommend it. (Click to tweet)
You can keep it under your tongue for up to 15 minutes, but most people don’t last that long (try it, and you’ll see why).

We have not yet said one critical word: consistency. When it comes to taking CBD oil, once you reach your desired dosage, consistency is critical. This includes the precise time of day, but it is more important to maintain your overall dose each day. (Click to tweet)
Consistency is key to improving your quality of life, as this customer demonstrates nicely.

RELATED: What Does CBD Do to the Mind, Body, and Your Sleep?
Speaking of benefits for your mind and body, what could be more important than sleep? With our modern lifestyles, we are constantly racing from one task to another. The problem starts when our mind continues to race as we crawl into bed. We formulated our CBD sleep formula with six powerful nutrients to help you get settled and ready for a full night’s rest. See what Tamara had to say about our sleep formula below.
”I could tell an immediate difference!
I don't typically have a problem sleeping, but I wanted to give the sleep formula a try and see what happened. (Anything to promote relaxation and more restful sleep is a good thing, right?) The first night I tried the sleep formula before bed, I noticed a difference. I slept deeper and felt more rested for sure! Even if I have a night where I don't get as much sleep as I should or would like to, the sleep I do get is better. I also have a problem with tight shoulder and neck muscles, and I feel like this formula helped them to relax more overnight and I woke up without tightness. After I read about all the benefits of the liposomal delivery system, I just had to give it a try. Highly recommend! I can tell I feel better during the day, too.”
- Tamara CBD sleep formula
When looking for CBD oil products, do not only focus on the price. Credibility is essential, which is why you should only buy from producers who provide third-party laboratory potency and purity test results. Furthermore, you should compare different product price points by also determining the total amount of CBD inside. A potent CBD oil means you use less each day, which means that the product lasts longer.
“Great for anxiety!
This bottle goes a long way - great quality product!”
- Chad R. 3600mg CBD Tincture
