Greater selection is enabling consumers to find the right product to fit their needs.

Keep reading for 5 ways to use hemp CBD for the most benefit.

1. Inhaled

Vaporizing CBD is one of the most popular methods of ingestion. A big draw of vaporizing is that it offers a similar experience to smoking but without the harsh side effects or byproducts. Vaporizers heat materials just enough to release the active compounds but still preserve the cannabinoid content.

But that’s not all…

Vaporizers also offer rapid delivery. Once inhaled, CBD enters the lungs and quickly makes its way into the bloodstream. The effects can usually be felt within minutes. This is a big bonus if you’re in need of quick relief.

DID YOU KNOW? At Truest You, our vaporizer is unique to the hemp market since we do not use any additives. Usually, companies cut CBD vaporizer products with vegetable glycerin. A typical 1 oz bottle contains anywhere from 10 mg CBD to 1,000 mg compared to a pure extract (ours contains 15,000 mg CBD per 1 oz).

2. Liposomal 

Many people are finding that CBD liposomal supplements are also a great option because they support maximum cannabinoid delivery. 

What is a liposome? Liposomes are essentially little bubbles loaded with nutrients. What makes them so remarkable is that they have an extremely high bioavailability. In fact, liposomes have been used in medicine for years for this very reason. They are incredibly effective at delivering nutrients throughout the body.

While many methods of ingesting CBD are effective, liposomes may soon take over the market due to their incredible bioavailability.

3. Sublingual

Searching for quick relief?

Taking CBD sublingually is a great option. When Cannabidiol is placed under the tongue and held for at least 90 seconds, the mucous membranes in the mouth quickly absorb it. Sublingual dosing completely bypasses the digestive system. Instead of waiting hours for the effects to take hold, it only takes a few minutes. Not to mention sublingual dosing is also discreet.

There’s no odor or smoke produced so it’s easy to consume on the go. 

4. Ingested

Hemp CBD oil can easily be added to most foods and drinks. Whether you love a smoothie first thing in the morning or a hot cup of coffee, you can easily make it Cannabidiol infused.

Now, it’s important to mention that ingesting CBD orally does cause a slightly delayed onset. This is because Cannabidiol must pass through the digestive tract, be metabolized by the liver, and then diffused into the bloodstream. However, this process is no different than taking other vitamins and minerals. Therefore, it’s easy to integrated Cannabidiol alongside other daily supplements.

5. Topical

The benefits of CBD are not only internal. The topical application of Cannabidiol has also shown promising therapeutic potential.

While the research is still developing, evidence suggests CBD may be helpful for alleviating conditions such as:

• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Acne
• And much more!

How do CBD topicals work? Cannabidiol is absorbed into the skin for localized relief. Targeting tough spots and inflammation, CBD topicals may soothe a wide variety of skin conditions.
