Why should I take CBD under my tongue ?

Benefits of consuming CBD under the tongue

CBD can be consumed in a variety of ways: dermally via cosmetic CBD oils, inhaled via vaping, or orally via tablets or ingredients listed in dishes. However, the most effective and safest way is still sublingual CBD thanks to all the benefits it offers. What are those benefits?

Consuming CBD under the tongue allows for quick effects

If you take CBD orally, the cannabidiol must first pass through the liver to be metabolized. It is only after the passage in the latter that the metabolites and others integrate the bloodstream that will distribute them throughout the body. In contrast, the CBD oil under the tongue is directly absorbed into the bloodstream. The effects are felt quickly, from 5 to 20 minutes after intake.

Consuming CBD allows for better bioavailability

The mouth is the area richest in blood capillaries in our body. The capillaries and blood vessels in the mouth, especially under the tongue, help to rapidly diffuse cannabidiol molecules. The CBD sublingual molecules travel to the bloodstream to the cells in our body. With the CBD drop under the tongue, you can maintain higher availability and bioavailability compared to other modes of administration.

Sublingual CBD oil: no side effects on the body

Taking CBD drops under the tongue has no side effects or risk of adverse reactions. The CBD oil under the tongue is melted by saliva via its enzyme. This one does not pass by the intestinal barrier. It is not degraded either. You do not run any risk inherent to the inhalation or the combustion. CBD is still not recommended for pregnant women, regardless of the mode of administration.

CBD under the tongue: the best method of administration

There are several ways to take CBD: swabs, infusions, tinctures, cosmetics, capsules or even topicals. The method of administration you choose is based on your preferences in the matter, your lifestyle or the disorder you want to relieve. You should also consider any issues you may have with the taste or oral intake of products.

In general, CBD oil is the ideal way to start an intake and get to know CBD before trying other modes of consumption. Comparatively speaking, it's the easiest to use, most effective, fastest-acting, and most precise dosage. You can also use CBD oil in cooking in dishes or drinks. But it is up to each consumer to experiment with other methods in order to determine which one they prefer.

The CBD oil under the tongue is a successful method that is advocated for its simplicity and variety. If you don't like the strong taste of hemp, you can opt for flavored products such as red fruit, lavender or peppermint. The dosage will depend on each consumer, but also on the product selected.

Taking crumble under the tongue

CBD Crumble is a CBD extract that is appealing to more and more consumers. This product bridges the gap between the old and new generations of CBD products. It is distinguished by a high percentage of cannabidiol, around 80%, and an unusual consistency, different from CBD flower. Also, unlike CBD oil, it does not contain other cannabinoids and does not cause an entourage effect.

The consistency of the crumble is unusual, given that it comes in the form of dry, crumbly, yellow crystals. This is the result of a full spectrum extraction. However, the crumble retains the benefits of the cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it provides very quick relief, sometimes only in seconds.

CBD crumble can be consumed in a variety of ways:

• in inhalation;
• in the diet;
• in CBD sublingual.

Taking CBD crystals under the tongue

CBD crystal, also known as isolate, gets its name from its particularly pure form. This one takes on a completely unusual appearance, that of a fine white powder that resembles sugar. And in this form, it offers a very high percentage of cannabidiol of 99%. Once the CBD crystal is cleared of flavonoids and terpenes, its taste becomes neutral and without any bitterness.

CBD crystals can be taken in a variety of ways:

• Dissolved in a lightly heated hemp oil. Once the crystals are diluted, a pure CBD oil or balm can be obtained for topical application.
• In food by incorporating the CBD crystals in a fat for culinary preparations.
• In inhalation via vaping or dabbing being careful not to heat them too much so as not to degrade the CBD.
• In CBD sublingual by placing the powder under the tongue and keeping there for about a minute until complete dissolution.

How to take CBD oil under the tongue

Two methods are recommended for taking CBD oil under the tongue.

Method 1: Taking CBD oil safely

In this first method, here are the steps to follow:

• Check with the doctor to make sure that you are not at risk by using CBD. Thus, it is advisable to inform him about the medications you take, a possible pregnancy or possible side effects during use.
• Ask him what dose you should take. Usually start with a relatively low dose and gradually increase.
• Choose a product that has been verified by a third party such as accredited laboratories. You can search the internet for information on labs that test CBD products.
• Prefer a product that lists the amount of CBD in each dose. The amount of CBD to take is listed on the product label.

Method 2: Administering CBD oil

The steps that must be followed are as follows:

• Opt for a tincture, which is CBD dissolved in a carrier oil.
• Do not eat anything before and after the application of the tincture (for about 15 to 20 minutes).
• Apply the recommended number of drops under the tongue.
• Delay the CBD drops under the tongue for about 30 seconds before swallowing.
• Expect to feel the effects within 15 to 30 minutes of taking the dose. The CBD sublingual reaches its peak effectiveness about 90 minutes after taking and you may continue to feel it for up to 8 hours.

How many drops of CBD under the tongue to sleep

Taking into account that CBD oil is not a drug, there is no recommended daily intake or RDI. However, studies conducted by Leonard Leinow and Juliana Birnbaum have pointed out that the right dosage falls under a few factors:

• the concentration of the CBD oil;
• the body mass of the consumer;
• the pathology to be treated.

In all cases, however, it is recommended to adopt a progressive approach to define the optimal dosage and always consider the weight of the consumer. As an indication:

• For 60 kg: between 30 and 60 mg of CBD before going to bed.
• For 70 kg: between 35 and 70 mg.
• For 80 kg: between 40 and 80 mg.
• For 90 kg: between 45 and 90 mg.

The use of a CBD oil over the long term does not cause the risk of overdose or the risk of accumulation of CBD in the body. CBD oils have mainly a physiological effect, so do not replace a drug.
