Whilst CBD is a totally natural chemical compound, known to ease problems such as anxiety, pain, hormonal issues and insomnia, it is still really important you know how to take it, properly.

CBD oil, in particular, requires dosing. As every person is different and has varying needs, figuring out the best dose for you can take some time.

So, if you’re having trouble with your CBD, read on for a helpful walkthrough.

What type of CBD is best for me?

CBD is sold in many forms, with different delivery methods. Whilst the final results are near enough the same, regardless of which delivery method you choose, the right form may help you get into a steady routine of taking your CBD.

CBD Gummies

CBD gummies are a delicious way to get in your daily dose of CBD! Dani Pepper’s premium gummies are completely vegan and gluten-free with natural plant-based ingredients.

Dani Pepper’s Assorted Gummies are made with real fruit juices, with mouth-watering flavours like Watermelon, Strawberries and Mint Mojito! Every gummy is completely organic, non-GMO and packed with CBD to boost your wellness and bring relief.

With 300mg of CBD per bottle, CBD Gummies are an amazing way to incorporate CBD into your daily routine without worrying about dosing. Absolutely perfect for beginners.

Oil Tinctures

CBD tinctures (basically another word for solution) are perhaps the most popular form of CBD. Tinctures are taken orally, you simply squeeze the dropper to draw out the CBD oil and then squeeze the oil underneath your tongue. For best results, hold the oil there for 45 seconds without swallowing. This sublingual delivery method is one of the fastest ways for your body to feel the positive effects of CBD!

You can take your CBD whenever you feel most comfortable, but it is really good to take CBD with a meal. Like any supplements, CBD is absorbed faster when digested with other nutrients. You can definitely get creative with this. Lot’s of people put their dose of CBD into their morning coffee, with a smoothie or even in their food. Try it out and see what you like best.

With tinctures, you can also get varying levels of concentration. Dani Pepper’s 500mg is a great place to start if you’re a CBD newbie. Our 500mg tincture contains 17mg CBD/ mL. For beginners, a daily dosage of 8mL is just fine- this works out to be about half the dropper!

Once you’re a little more experienced taking your CBD tincture, you can move onto 1000mg and increase as you desire.

CBD Suppositories

Dani Pepper’s doctor-formulated CBD Suppositories have been specifically formulated to achieve soothing relief within a localised area. They can be used vaginally or rectally to provide maximum relief to target pains and discomforts. The CBD absorbs quickly into your bloodstream through your body’s permeable tissue for instant results.

Many users find the suppositories very beneficial for period cramps, relief from menopause symptoms, endometriosis and other pelvic pain. Each suppository delivers 100mg of premium CBD for long-lasting and rapid relief. You can use 1-2 suppositories per day, depending on the levels of discomfort you are feeling. Although, it is recommended to wait at least 6 hours between doses.

Finding your balance

Taking CBD for pain and wellbeing is extremely personal. Ultimately, you are the best person to decide how much, or how little, to take.

Getting into a routine of taking your CBD can be extremely beneficial for your body. Regularly taking CBD will allow you to pinpoint the affects you feel and whether you could start taking more, or less.

As a starting point, try and take your CBD (in any form you like) regularly for 14 days. Some people like to take their dose in one go, whilst others split the dose throughout the day. Test things out and see what works for you.

After the 14 days, assess how you are feeling. Are your symptoms better? Are you getting the desired effect from the CBD? Do you enjoy the delivery method you’re using?

The great thing about CBD is that it is totally personalized. You can test out the different delivery methods and doses and find out exactly what works well for you.

So, hopefully, now you’re feeling a little more confident about stepping into the world of CBD! You’ll be an expert in no time.
