Taking CBD Occasionally vs. Daily

Cannabidiol (CBD) can support your health and wellness goals in many ways, but how often should you be taking it?

The type of CBD, serving size, and frequency in which you take it all matters.

A common misconception is that cannabidiol can be taken one time and you will feel better. It doesn’t work that way. CBD is not like taking Advil.

Not to say that you won’t feel anything from one-time use, as some people do feel more relaxed after taking CBD. However, cannabidiol generally doesn’t have instantaneous results. 

It takes time to reap the full benefits because the plant compounds work subtly.

How it Works

Cannabidiol formulas take some time to interact with your endocannabinoid receptors. When you take a serving of cannabinoids, the plant compounds go to task communicating and binding to receptors in your body to bring balance to the systems that need it.

If you are working on a frequent and recurring health issue, taking CBD consistently will give you the best results. With daily use, you may start to notice improvements such as reduced symptoms, less discomfort, and a greater sense of wellbeing.

So what about using cannabidiol on occasions? Maybe you just had a long stressful day and could really use some R & R. This is where a one-time serving of Pure Balance CBD would be the perfect thing to help you relax.

Here are some more examples where cannabidiol formulas can help for single-use or daily support.

Reasons to take CBD Daily 

• Managing symptoms from an illness
• If you experience frequent discomfort
• Recovering from an Injury 
• Recurrent mood imbalances
• Persistent sleep issues (Take Pure Sleep)
• Quality of life support
• Overlapping health issues

When to take CBD occasionally

• For temporary relaxation
• Calming occasional restlessness
• Easing sore muscles
• Before a workout
• Help you wind down before bed

To reap the benefits and get great results, make a plan that works for you. Create a wellness plan depending on the condition you are looking to improve with cannabidiol use.

Cannabinoid formulas work in a subtle way to gradually improve conditions over time. With patience and consistent use, the results are well worth it.

Choosing the Right Formula and Dose size

The formula you use matters because not all Cannabidiol products are made the same. The key to success with CBD is to find the right formula and dose size for your needs.

The three most common formulas

• Full spectrum – Includes a wide array of cannabinoids, including minor amounts of THC (0.3% or less), terpenes, flavonoids, and other naturally occurring plant compounds.

• Broad spectrum – Contains the major and minor cannabinoids and other compounds found in hemp but diminishes the THC. (Great choice for those who want minimal THC)

• Isolated CBD – The purest form of cannabidiol, refined to remove all other cannabinoids and plant compounds. (Has limited benefits in contrast to Full and Broad spectrum)

Full spectrum provides the most well-rounded benefits because the synergy of CBD, THC and other cannabinoids work together, binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body.

Broad spectrum diminishes the THC, so it does not have the same wide reach full spectrum does. However, it is the next best option and provides many plant compounds. 

CBD Isolate is the less popular form of cannabidiol because it leaves out many beneficial plant parts, so it does not give the user the entourage effects. However, pure CBD can still help support your wellness goals.

How Much CBD Should I Take?

Hemp extracts affect everyone differently, and depending on the formula you take, the effects can vary. 

It takes some self-discovery to determine the best dose for you. Some days may call for more CBD, and some days you may not feel the need for it. 

If you are new to cannabidiol, try a small serving and wait a few hours to take more. Use consistently for extended benefits and better results.

Here are some ideas for finding the right support from your cannabinoid formula.

• Take a small 10-20mg serving in the morning and evening for mood balance.
• Microdose by taking a few milligrams a few times throughout the day for extended support.
• Take a 25-50mg serving in the evening for deep relaxation and sleep aid.
• Take a large serving of 50mg+ for tackling more significant health issues and discomfort.
