How to Take CBD Oil
Psst… You’re doing it wrong
Last Saturday I was enjoying a lazy morning on my couch while my kids ran around the living room pulling out every toy they own. Naturally I started scrolling through my social media and out popped an ad for a popular CBD brand showing a video of a woman dropping CBD oil onto her tongue!
I immediately did a re-take. Wait, did I see that right?
Sure enough after taking a closer look, the woman in the video was definitely dropping oil onto her tongue. This made no sense to me and I’ll tell you why.

Full Transparency
When it comes to CBD Oil, there are enough misconceptions, misinformation, mislabeling, etc. that’s going on in this industry. Most shoppers don’t even know what CBD really is, what CBD actually does and can hardly even understand what they’re getting when they finally do decide to buy it. So when it comes to something more simple like knowing how to take CBD oil, the least we can do (as an industry) is make sure you know how to take it right to get the very best results.

Fast Results
The way you ingest CBD Oil determines how fast you begin to feel results. Let me share something with you that every savvy CBD user already knows.
When you take CBD Oil, the whole point is to get it into your system right? The majority of people taking it are looking to support important things like sleep, stress, daily anxiety, mood, aches and pains, digestion and even metabolism. So if you’re like most people, you want to get it into your system pretty fast.
Here’s what you need to know. CBD oil can take some time to enter your system. When taken orally it can absorb in one of two ways.
1.) It can be absorbed directly into your blood stream when taken sublingually (underneath your tongue).
2.) It can be absorbed through your digestive system when swallowed.

Rate of Absorption
This is what the science says:
CBD dropped underneath your tongue and held 1-2 minutes then swallowed takes 15 minutes or faster to enter your system through the blood stream.
CBD dropped on top of your tongue takes 45 minutes to over one hour to enter your system through the digestive tract.
Let me point out one quick side note. There may be some people (who for their own personal reasons) want to delay their CBD oil from getting into their system too fast. In those specific cases, it’s totally fine to drop the oil on top of the tongue.
But in general, the most efficient way to take CBD oil is definitely sublingually. It will give you the fastest results every time which in my experience is what the majority of people are looking for.
So next time you reach for your CBD oil bottle, be sure to shake well, drop the oil underneath your tongue, hold 1-2 minutes, swish and swallow like a pro to get the support you need.
