Products containing CBD oil come in many different forms, such as oils, capsules, infused edibles, and even skincare products! Each of these has its own method of being used. To receive the full benefits of CBD, it is important to take the product as intended. In the form of an oil, CBD is best experienced when placed under the tongue.
How CBD Oil Works
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid extracted from the hemp plant. CBD oil works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system., which is responsible for keeping the body in homeostasis. The effects of CBD are non-psychoactive and do not cause a high or intoxicating effect; instead, CBD can promote relaxation, a sense of calm, and general wellbeing.
The Best Way to Dispense CBD Oil
Sublingual application, or application under the tongue, allows for the active ingredients of CBD oil to be directly absorbed through the mucous membrane in the mouth. There are many capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, under the tongue which transfer directly to the bloodstream. When absorbed under the tongue, CBD bypasses the digestive system and processing of the liver; therefore, the effects of CBD oil are not decreased by digestion. Sublingual application allows CBD to quickly enter the bloodstream and interact with the endocannabinoid system.
Products like Tasty Drops are designed for sublingual application, as the liquid is easy to hold under the tongue. Sublingual tinctures are a great fit for those who have trouble taking traditional capsules. They are also a good choice for those who are looking for quick results from their CBD oil.
The Effects of Placing CBD Oil Under the Tongue
CBD is being studied by researchers for many different benefits. No scientific claims can be made yet, but studies are showing many advantages of using CBD as a dietary supplement.
How you take CBD and how much CBD you take can influence the effects you experience. Further research can help you make a decision on what CBD oil form is the best fit for you.
The serving size of CBD oil will differ for everybody. We recommend that you start out with 15 drops, once or twice a day. This is not a standard, but a guideline to get you started. Finding your ideal serving size could take some research and trial and error.
