Tinctures
CBD oil is the most popular way to consume CBD and has a quick onset when taken sublingually.If looking for effects during the day, consuming as you get up is your best option.You may need a boost midday if you are looking for all day relief.For optimal nighttime use, you’ll want to take it a hour before bed.
Gummies
Edibles are a tasty and simple way to get CBD into your system.When consuming CBD like this you have to remember that the onset usually takes longer and is affected by the amount of food you consumed prior. Consuming gummies on an empty stomach will result in a quicker onset and duration. You’ll have to keep this in mind to help time the effect. For daytime use we recommend taking first thing in the morning and as needed as the effects come down at the end of the day. For nighttime use, optimal timing is 2 hours before going to bed.
Topicals
Lotions and Roll-ons are generally seen as a means to treat specific areas. The onset is on the quicker side for these. Optimal timing for topical application is after taking a shower. At this point your pores are open and more readily able to absorb the CBD. For nighttime usage, applying right before bed is ideal.
