CBD Oil Strength: Which One is Best for You?

Patience and consistency are key when it comes to finding the right strength of CBD oil for your body. Therefore, making sure you figure out the best serving size for your particular needs is important. When it comes to CBD, it's imperative to start your daily routine right away and stick with it. These simple principles will help you get started if you're struggling to find the right dose of CBD for your needs.

What Does CBD Oil Strength Mean?

When we refer to CBD oil strength, we're talking about the potency, or the intensity of CBD that's contained in a particular product. Potency is all about proportion-- how much CBD is in the product compared to the amount of oil or the number of gummies is an important thing to watch for. 

Why Does CBD Oil Strength Matter?

CBD oil strength is important to pay attention to because you don't want to take random strengths here and there or it will make it harder for you to understand or notice the effects it might be having on you. With oil you can take a dosage of your choice simply by drawing more oil up into the dropper or less, you control the amount of CBD you take. So while a 600mg bottle of CBD has a total of 600mg, your serving size might just contain 10mg. Or you might be taking enough to equal 20mg each time. In other words-- you're not drinking the whole bottle at once, but taking it in small pieces. Once you find a potency that works best for you, it's important to stay consistent with that and only increase once you feel it's needed. Taking too much CBD is not only a waste of your money, it doesn't translate into a "better" or "stronger" experience. Taking too much CBD is just as ineffective as taking too little.

How Different Delivery Methods Affect CBD Strength

In truth, different delivery methods don't really affect the strength of your CBD, but it can certainly affect the onset or timing of the effects. Capes are considered one of the fastest delivery methods, but carry with them some risk related to the vaping devices and lung health. Oils are also a very effective and efficient delivery method because they utilize the copious blood vessels under the tongue and in the mouth to quickly get the CBD into your system without wasting much time or energy. Gummies and other ingested CBD methods take longer to hit, but will also linger in your system for longer. So the strength stays pretty constant, but you might notice a difference for your body and choose accordingly!

Finding the Right Strength of CBD Oil for Your Body

We've all got different genetic makeups and environmental factors that we're contending with, so it's important to look at all of that when choosing the right strength of CBD oil for yourself.

Height and Weight Make a Difference

Your height and weight can affect how much CBD you'll need. Are you tall or short? Do you have a high or low body mass? People with a smaller body mass tend to need less CBD to experience its benefits, while people with larger body masses may need higher amounts of CBD to experience the same effects. Therefore those with higher body masses might want to lean more towards the 1200mg or 2400mg tinctures. However, if your body mass is on the smaller side, then you might consider starting with the 600mg or 1200mg CBD oil tincture options.

As far as deciding between one of the two strengths, you shouldn't have to worry about that either. All of FAB CBD's oils increase by multiples of two. These clean and potent full-spectrum CBD oils come in strengths of 300mg, 600mg, 1200mg, and 2400mg and in smooth, bright, and refreshing flavors of vanilla, citrus, berry, mint, and natural. Therefore, you can easily scale between strengths with the same bottle.

There's a Tried and True Method That Can Help

If you've been wondering what the best way to begin your CBD oil regimen is, there is a simple method that can help you get started to finding the right dose for your body. First, when taking CBD oil, you should start low and gradually increase your dose over time. Even though everyone's body is different, anyone who is trying to find the best dose of CBD for their body should do so slowly and methodically.

A great pattern to follow is to take a half a dropper full of CBD once a day and stay with that dose for 7-10 days while checking in with your body to see how you're feeling. For example, if you've purchased 600mg of FAB CBD full-spectrum oil, take a half dropper full (10mg) of CBD once a day for about a week. Check in with your body at the end of the week. If you feel like you need to increase your dose, then go up to a half a dropper full twice a day. This will now equal 10mg of CBD twice a day, or 20mg of CBD a day. Stay at the new dose for another week before checking in with your body again. Follow this simple pattern for every time you are increasing your dose.

When you take your CBD oil, drop it sublingually and hold it there for about 60-seconds before swallowing. This allows the oil to directly enter into your bloodstream through the thin membranes under your tongue. To have increased absorption, you can also swish the oil around in your mouth (once you've held it under your tongue) before swallowing.

Consistency Matters

When you consistently take your CBD oil around the same time(s) each and every day, you have a better chance to feel as many benefits from the oil as possible. You should also take your CBD oil on a relatively empty stomach and away from any prescription medications. If you have concerns about taking CBD oil with prescription medications, then it's important that you reach out to your primary care doctor or prescribing physician with any questions.

Monitor and Track Your Results in Every Area You Can

The best way to figure out if you're seeing any improvements within yourself while taking CBD is to keep a journal. Make sure to take note of any changes or lack thereof. You may need to give it that full two weeks to feel any noticeable differences, or you may even need a little more or a less CBD oil during the process. The overall goal here is to find a baseline so that you can establish the best strength of CBD oil for your unique health and wellness needs.

The best way to find the CBD oil strength that's right for your body is to remain patient and consistent. And even when you do find a dose that works the best for you, you may still need to adjust either the dose or the strength down the road. Finding your best dose of CBD is a very fluid process.
