Is CBD working for me?

Newcomers to the world of CBD might not feel the effects of their CBD oils and CBD edibles immediately, which leads some people to wonder if the products are working. Before you ditch CBD for good, let’s look at how it works in the body and evaluate some of the reasons why it might not be working for you.

Your ECS (endocannabinoid system) is extremely deficient

Officially called clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD), when your ECS is exceptionally deficient, you might not be able to feel the effects of the gummies and tinctures. The endocannabinoid identified in the early 1990s regulates a range of body functions including sleep, mood, stress, motor control, and many more. A recent study showed that CECD is one of the reasons why some people might experience adverse effects instead of therapeutic benefits when they start taking CBD. It’s thought that if you experience headaches, gastric distress, or joint problems, your body might be so low on endocannabinoids that it’s trying to “fill the holes” first. This is one of the many reasons that it is recommended to start with very low doses of CBD and give your body a chance to acclimate.

Your CBD is low quality

The CBD market has exploded in the last few years, and with the expanded marketplace comes all kinds of unsavory retailers. It is the Wild West out here when it comes to product standards and purity concentration. That is one of the reasons we are so committed to being transparent and providing you with the best possible products. If you are buying products made with sub-par ingredients, you are not going to get the results you want.

Your Method needs a change

If you know that, you are purchasing a quality product and you are sure your ECS is not deficient, the last thing you might try is to change your method of delivery. The truth is that everyone is going to respond to different types of CBD, so you might need to experiment to discover what works best for you. If you have been an ardent tincture user for years, but now are not feeling the effects, consider switching to gummies. It might be something as simple as the bioavailability that your body prefers.

CBD results can take time, so you need to be patient and know that lots of work is happening behind the scenes. Be open to exploring our entire line of products to find what works best for you.
