What Is a CBD Tincture?
A tincture can be defined as a concentrated herbal liquid extract in which the CBD derived from hemp plants is dissolved using alcohol or another solvent. Historically, tinctures are often made by using a blend of water and alcohol to extract helpful plant constituents, including cannabis. CBD tinctures are most popular because they offer a hassle-free experience in terms of measuring the dose and feeling the effect, especially if taken sublingually, under the tongue. They just may help support sleep, handle stress, soothe discomfort, and promote overall wellness.
The best way to take a CBD tincture is sublingually. That means you put the drops under the tongue, from where the substance is absorbed into the bloodstream via the mucous membranes in your mouth. This helps the substance rapidly get into your circulation. Beyond this, you may want to know when to take it and how much of it to consume. Here is a quick guide on how to use CBD tinctures.
1. When is the best time to take CBD tinctures?
The best time to take CBD tinctures depends on your personal needs and goals. Some users prefer to take them in the morning to help with focus and maintain calm throughout the day, while others take them in the evening to promote relaxation and support a healthy sleep cycle.
What makes Mellow Fellow Wellness tinctures unique is that they’re formulated in specialized blends using other non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, and THCv for more specific effects. This makes it easier to determine the time of day for each CBD tincture blend. For instance Momentum: The Energy Blend and Elevate: The Happy Blend would be better suited for daytime use. Whereas CBD’s calming properties in Rest: The Sleepy Blend may be especially helpful as part of your nighttime routine.
2. Should I take CBD tinctures with food?
CBD tinctures can be consumed along with food or on an empty stomach. Many consumers say that taking a tincture with food may be useful for improving absorption, while others like the ease of taking one on an empty stomach. However, even if sublingual use is the most utilized and most effective, you can also put a CBD Tincture into your favorite foods or beverages to experience a slower onset of actions.
3. How much CBD tincture should I take?
The right dosage of CBD tincture varies from person to person, depending on factors like body weight, metabolism, and the desired effects. It’s best to start with a low dose—around 5 to 10 mg for beginners—and adjust as needed. Tinctures offer precise dosing thanks to the dropper, making it easy to find the amount that works best for you.
The duration of CBD’s effects vary depending on several factors including how it’s consumed and individual differences. On average, when taken sublingually (under the tongue) , CBD’s effects can last between 4 to 6 hours. When taken orally in capsule form, the effects may last between 6 to 8 hours. Topical applications of CBD, like roll ons may have varying durations depending on the area of application and the person using it.
It’s important to remember that the effects of CBD can differ from person to person. Some individuals may experience longer-lasting effects, while others might need to use CBD more frequently to achieve the desired results. Additionally, it may take a few uses for some to fully notice the benefits.
The duration CBD tincture stays in your system depends on several factors, including the dosage, frequency of use, method of administration, and individual characteristics of the user such as age and metabolism.
For example, when taken sublingually (under the tongue) as drops or spray, CBD is absorbed more quickly compared to oral capsules. Topical applications (like roll ons or creams) are absorbed more slowly and typically remain detectable in the system for a shorter time.
On average, CBD can remain in your system for 2 to 5 days. However, for heavy or long-term users, CBD may be detectable for up to 10 days or more. CBD’s fat solubility means it can accumulate in fatty tissues and stay in the body longer, especially with frequent use.
Additionally, what you eat can affect CBD's presence in your system. Consuming CBD with high-fat meals can increase its absorption and prolong its effects, while taking it on an empty stomach may result in quicker elimination.
When looking for CBD tinctures, it’s important to choose reputable sources that prioritize quality and transparency. You can find CBD tinctures in specialty CBD shops and online retailers. Always check for third-party lab testing results to ensure the product is safe, accurately labeled, and free from contaminants.
