Top Reasons Why CBD Oil doesn’t Work for You 

Alex Malkin

People assume that they’re going to experience immediate results when they first start up with a CBD regimen. The reality is that most people need to take CBD for a number of days (if not weeks) before they start to see real results. It’s important that you don’t give up after taking CBD for just a few days. There could be a number of factors going on that are contributing to CBD not working for you how you had hoped. Let’s take a closer look at some of these top reasons.

You Might Be Using the Wrong Brand

There are so many different CBD brands on the market right now. Unfortunately, they aren’t all what they claim to be. Do your research to make sure that you’re choosing a high-quality CBD brand that is safe, organic and free of unwanted additives? Check consumer reviews before making a purchase. A strong track record is incredibly important with any supplement. Third-party lab results will help you understand what is in the product that you’re thinking about taking. 

Look at the Dose That You’re Taking

Not only do you need to spend some time thinking about the brand that you want to choose, but there are different doses of CBD that you’ll need to consider. You can take too little of a product and not see results. You could even be taking too much. Ideally, you should start out with a dose that is recommended with the product you choose. The most common recommendation is to consume 1–6MG of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight that you have. This is also based on the person’s level of discomfort that they are trying to treat. Some people benefit from taking their CBD right before bed. Other people prefer it right when they wake up and get going for the day. It may take you a few weeks to figure out when your sweet spot is for taking CBD.

Bioavailability

Depending on the form of CBD that you consume, there is a certain percentage of bioavailability that you’ll experience. When you use a topical product, you’ll only absorb so much of that CBD into your bloodstream. Vaping CBD provides a very fast absorption rate. Oral doses will take a little longer to get absorbed by the digestive tract, but they work quite well. Taking a CBD product under the tongue usually results in 20 to 30 percent absorption into the bloodstream.

Genetics

There is approximately 20 percent of people who are genetically prone to producing high levels of endocannabinoids in the body. This bodes well for their overall health, but a higher level of endocannabinoids will result in them not seeing very many effects from a CBD supplement. Their bodies simply don’t need the supplementation.

Building Up a Tolerance

As you take CBD for a long time, your body may begin to build up a tolerance. A higher dose of the product may be needed in order to achieve the same results that you were once experiencing. There may be a point where your benefits plateau. This is the highest state of balance that your body is going to let you achieve with a CBD supplement.

You should keep taking your CBD even if you don’t think it’s working for you. You want your body to build up some CBD in your system. You also want to allow your body to become more balanced overall. This is when you’ll start to see some real results. Some people may see a difference in their symptoms in just a few days. Your typical experience will require CBD to be taken every day for a few weeks.
