CBD oil is increasing in popularity. Many people want to try this miracle remedy. Many beginner users think that CBD works immediately and that they will experience the power of CBD right away. But what does CBD do to your body? And why do some people feel that CBD does not work? In this blog article, we will explore this in more detail and look at why CBD might not work.
What is CBD?
To find out why CBD might not work, it is important to know what CBD is. CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is one of the many substances found in the cannabis plant.
The paste-like substance is largely extracted from the tops of the plant. To make a CBD product, it is mixed. The most well-known CBD product is CBD oil. The CBD is mixed with oil.
CBD oil is available in different percentages. This can range from 5% to 30% CBD oil. Depending on the use or complaint, you choose the right percentage.
CBD oil is not comparable to cannabis oil. Cannabis oil contains a lot of THC, a substance that can give you a high feeling. CBD oil contains little or no THC. This makes CBD legal in the Netherlands.
Choose the right CBD product
The first reason why CBD might not have the desired effect on you could be the percentage. Therefore, first educate yourself well about CBD before you buy it. CBD is quite expensive and can help with the right dosage or percentage. So think carefully about why you want to use CBD.
We previously wrote a blog about: Which CBD oil to use for which complaint? If you have a mild complaint, you can use a lighter CBD oil. If you have a severe complaint, you use a stronger CBD oil.
We often see that a CBD oil that is too light is chosen. The CBD oil is not suitable for the complaint you are trying to treat, so the CBD oil does not work. Therefore, always choose the suitable percentage for you. Are you having trouble choosing the right percentage?
You can always contact ProHemp by phone. The percentage depends not only on your complaint but also on your weight and even how your body reacts to it.
CBD needs a buildup phase
CBD is not a miracle cure that works immediately after intake. This is often thought. You buy the CBD oil and start taking it. After a few days, you still do not feel the effect. You get discouraged and stop taking the CBD. Conclusion: CBD does not work.
What you did not take into account is the buildup phase. Your body needs time to absorb the CBD. This buildup phase can sometimes take eight to twelve weeks before the CBD starts working well and you feel a difference.
During this buildup phase, it is important to increase the dosage gradually. If you ultimately need a 20% CBD oil, you start with a 10% CBD oil and a few drops per dose. This can be three times a day, 3 drops of 10%. Each week you increase the dosage by 1 drop. When you reach six drops per dose, you can switch to the 20% CBD oil and halve the dosage. Six drops of 10% contain the same amount of CBD as three drops of 20% CBD oil.
Patience is a virtue in this case. CBD oil often does not work because users lack patience.
CBD and the endocannabinoid system
The endo what? The endocannabinoid system is a natural system in the body that everyone has. This system is responsible for sending signals and stimuli, including pain signals. If you suffer from stress or insomnia and the endocannabinoid system is not working properly or is out of balance, the signals cannot be transmitted properly.
CBD can help bring the endocannabinoid system back into balance, allowing (pain) complaints to be treated more quickly by the body.
Choose CBD with a test report
There is CBD and there is CBD. Because CBD is so popular, there are more and more sellers. Not every CBD is as good as it is claimed to be. Sometimes there is less CBD in the bottle than stated on the label. Therefore, always choose a supplier specialized in CBD products.
