With so many different high strength CBD products to choose from it can be quite daunting to find the best product to fit you and your lifestyle. Dosage is an extremely important factor. Dose too low and you will not get the relief you seek. Dose too high and you may feel drowsy.
Many people try CBD oil and give up on it because the dosage they take is too low and they simply are not getting enough CBD into their systems to experience benefits. Depending on your symptoms are your body weight you may need anywhere between 25mg – 100mg of CBD per day. The strongest CBD oils will have over 10,000 mg of CBD per 30 ml bottle. The strongest CBD oil that OC Wellness Solutions carries has over 20,000 mg of broad spectrum CBD or full spectrum CBD oil in each bottle.
High Strength CBD Oils & Topicals
High potency CBD topicals are a great alternative for people who have isolated pain in a specific area of the body. They are easy to apply and the benefits and pain relief typically last for hours. Topicals are wonderful as you can opt for a higher dosage without the effects of taking a high dose internally. Hempstrax 20,000mg Topical Salve is available in Full Spectrum (all cannabinoids including CBD. THC content <0.3%), Broad Spectrum (all of the cannabinoids with 0% THC) and Isolate (CBD only). Our customers typically feel relief from 4-8 hours when using the topical salve.
The addition of essential oils, menthol crystals, arnica, vitamin E and Tea Tree Oil are soothing ingredients, and they add to the effect of the CBD products. It helps the CBD to penetrate deeply relieving muscle aches and soreness.
Bath Bombs are another amazing CBD product that can help to relieve stress and tension. The skin is the largest organ of the body, capable of detoxifying the bloodstream. CBD can work to relax muscles and reduce pain and discomfort.
Hempstrax Extra Strength tinctures are available in 5,000mg, 10,000mg and 20,000mg making them some of the strongest on the market. We advise starting with a dosage of under 50mg per day and maintaining this dosage for at least 5 days before gradually increasing the dosage if needed. It is best to split the dosage, taking half in the morning and half in the evening. If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, it can be advantageous to split the dosage in 4 taking it every 4-6 hours to keep symptoms at a minimum.
A 20,000mg tincture will typically last between 2-4 months depending on your chosen dosage. The nice thing with these tinctures is you can purchase one and receive the 2nd one free when you use Code: FREE at checkout. Just click on the image to purchase.
Full Spectrum CBD or Broad Spectrum
Many people suffer from acute pain and discomfort. Taking medication and pain prescriptions can result in many unwanted and undesirable side effects. CBD has been shown to be effective in clinical trials. It has little to no side effects and a dosage of 200mg – 500mg is typically well tolerated. In many cases where a person is trying to help a pain condition a full spectrum CBD oil product will provide stronger relief due to the entourage effect. Those who wish to avoid THC entirely should choose a broad spectrum CBD product which will still gain many of the entourage effect benefits.
If you are unsure which dosage you should be taking – opt for a lower dosage first. It can take several days for the body to adjust to CBD and also for the CBD to start taking full effect. The only exception would be with topicals where you can opt for a high strength as very little is absorbed into the bloodstream. This makes topicals the ideal choice for localized pain and old injuries.
CBD is so effective as it reduces the inflammation within the body. Doctors and scientists are in agreement that inflammation is bad and can lead to worse conditions and diseases. Reducing inflammation is key to alleviating pain.
High strength CBD is not just for treating pain and inflammation. It has also been shown to be effective in treating anxiety, depression, IBS, Parkinson’s Disease, Crohn’s Disease, and insomnia. Many clinical trials have been conducted on the safety and efficacy of CBD.
