Sep 21st 2020
Whether you are a rookie or an old-time patron of hemp-derived cannabinoids products, you will find that there are many different types of hemp products that you can try and explore. It’s best to identify what you need them for and find the most effective product and method for you.
There are several great ways to use and enjoy hemp-derived cannabinoids products, it could be creative or conventional. Given the options, it will boil down to several factors, such as how quickly you’d like to experience the effects of cannabinoids, your budget, and your personal taste. To find out what works best for you, you might want to experiment and try different methods.
Tinctures
CBD oil tinctures are taken the same way as CBD oils. It’s a specialized oil mixed with carrying agents like alcohol or flavored oils (fruit and mint are common). They are usually in liquid form and usually come with a dropper, you may see some packaged in sprays or in pump bottles.
Sublingual application:
You can take cannabinoid extract through sublingual application. This method of administering substances via the mouth means that substances are rapidly absorbed via the blood vessels under the tongue rather than via the digestive tract. When used this way, the cannabinoids in the tincture are absorbed by membranes under the tongue and on the insides of the cheeks.
Here’s how to apply a tincture sublingually:
- Shake well before use.
- Load up the dropper with the desired amount, and squirt under your tongue.
- Make sure to keep the oil there for at least 20 seconds.
- You can swish the remaining oil around your mouth before swallowing it.
- Through the sublingual application, the effects of a tincture can usually be felt within roughly 30 minutes and can last for as long as 3 hours.
Mix it with your favorite food or drink:
Another quick way to use tinctures is by swallowing it and waiting for its effects. When swallowed, tinctures take significantly longer to work and follow the same timeline as edibles. If you swallow your tincture, you can expect to feel effects within 1–2 hours and for effects to last upwards of 5–6 hours.
Likewise, if you don’t want a sublingual application or direct swallowing of the CBD oil, you can opt to add it to your food or drink. You may dilute the tincture in a small amount of water, juice, tea, smoothie, or coffee to mask its natural taste. It can also be mixed with your pudding or yogurt.
When adding hemp-derived extracts to food or drink, the onset will be similar to that of edibles. The ratio of cannabinoids varies from person to person. We recommend you start with 10 mg. CBD when adding it to food or drink.
Benefits:
- They are often flavored, which can make it more desirable for people who want to avoid the earthy taste.
- When taken sublingually, tinctures are quick to absorb.
- For both beginners and experienced cannabinoid users, tinctures tend to be a very affordable option.
Topicals
Hemp-derived CBD topicals are anything that you apply directly onto your skin. Usually, in cream, serum and ointment forms, these are great options for localized results because they’ll be interacting with your skin directly instead of having them absorbed into your bloodstream.
Skincare routines have changed so much over the years, adapting to suit our lifestyles and a changing world. Today, everybody has a different skincare routine, depending on their skin type, lifestyle, and preferences. It’s quite exciting to see how CBD fits in perfectly in the ever-evolving world of skincare, especially in anti-aging. Complete Hemp anti-aging topicals are created to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays and from the harsh effects of pollution. Combining ingredients that are all organic such as aloe vera, vitamin C, lemon oil, and microalgae, they help diminish the appearance of age spots, wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness, and hyperpigmentation, while improving skin firmness.
Benefits:
- The method of consumption means that CBD topicals are incredibly easy to use so it’s convenient to include in your routine.
- Having a lighter density of CBD in them, CBD topicals tend to be affordable.
- The effects of CBD topicals can last for hours.
- CBD topicals are discreet, since using topicals in everyday life is very common.
Capsules/Pills
CBD capsules and pills are a powdered form of CBD inside a capsule. They are swallowed and absorbed through digestion. They have no taste and typically last longer than other methods.
Benefits of CBD Pills
- CBD pills are easy to use, especially since most people have swallowed similar vitamins and supplements.
- They tend to have particularly long-lasting effects since they are absorbed when digested.
- Capsules and pills also have a set amount of CBD in them, so you don’t have to measure it out yourself.
Edibles
CBD edibles are any food item with added CBD, from candies to pastries. CBD gummies, CBD gum, and other edibles are absorbed through the stomach during digestion. They are often associated with THC.
Benefits of CBD Edibles
- CBD edibles are perhaps the easiest method of CBD consumption.
- Come in different flavors.
- With edibles, you’ll feel the effects for a lot longer than other methods of CBD delivery since they must pass through the digestive system before they’re absorbed into the body.
