The number of methods by which you can consume CBD is almost as varied as the products available. So how do you know which one is the best? That depends. A better question would perhaps be – which CBD method is best for you? Review sites are an excellent source of in-depth information. For a brief overview, here are 5 Efficient Ways To Consume CBD.
Still not sure? Luckily, there’s a wealth of useful information available. Sites like BestDosage give a full breakdown of each product to help you make the right decision, as well as in-depth reviews from other CBD users. Head to BestDosage.com and keep yourself informed.
Oil
The most popular method of consuming CBD. Sit back, measure out your dose and pop it under your tongue for 60 seconds to be absorbed. That’s it. Not only is it quick and effective, it also requires zero extra equipment. Perfect for new CBD users and veterans alike.
Vaping
CBD for vaping comes in a ‘carrier liquid’ that allows it to be converted into a breathable form using a vaporizer. This allows a couple of things to happen – increased bioavailability and BIG flavour. CBD bioavailability is the percentage of CBD that’s absorbed into the bloodstream. The more CBD absorbed, the more potent the effect. This makes vaping an effective method of consuming CBD – more bang for your buck. Add to this a whole range of amazing flavours, and you have a tasty, effective CBD vehicle. Vape already or want to taste the rainbow? Vaping CBD is for you.
Smoking
Similar to vaping? Yes and no. Smoking CBD means using the raw flower instead of converting it into the oil. This method has two main fans – THC smokers and cigarette smokers. Interestingly, studies suggest that CBD may help with quitting smoking. Nothing is conclusive yet, however, feedback in product reviews show a large number of smokers substituting CBD for cigarettes, with moderate success. Like vaping, smoking also increases the bioavailability for the CBD. Lastly, but certainly not least, sometimes nothing beats rolling up CBD flower on a lazy afternoon. Whether you’re a smoker, someone who rolls their own flower or you’re just looking to make the most of your CBD, consider CBD flower.
Edibles
Got a sweet tooth? Thanks to its versatility, CBD is now available in edible form from gummy bears to cake pops. CBD edibles are extremely popular and many leading CBD brands will have at least one edible product. Edibles have a couple of advantages over other methods. First, they last longer. CBD Edibles are broken down slowly in the digestive system, meaning the CBD is released over an extended period of time. Secondly, they make measuring your dosage easier. Taking pre-measured Gummy saves trying to measure oil with a pipette! If you like simplicity and tasty treats, choose CBD edibles.
Topicals
With CBD, and one size doesn’t fit all – some methods are not appealing to everybody. Instead of drinking, eating or smoking your CBD, why not apply it with a balm? Studies show CBD applied to the skin could help lower pain and inflammation, especially in arthritis sufferers. Topical CBD balm is great for localized relief of aches and pains, making it a post-workout staple for many CBD users. Whether you’re looking to relax after a hard gym session or looking for alternatives for chronic pain, consider topicals.
