Taking Two Different Forms of CBD Together: Should You Do It?

Types of CBD

For anyone who is taking CBD daily, you’ve probably put a lot of effort into coming up with the perfect routine by choosing the proper milligram strength, the right type of hemp extract and the delivery method that best suits your needs. 

But…

What Happens When You Combine CBD Products?

A lot of people ask us whether or not it’s safe to take two different CBD products at once.  Now, of course, everyone’s body responds to hemp differently.  However, what we can tell you is that due to the nontoxic nature of hemp, people can take large doses on a daily basis.  So, taking standard doses of two different CBD products shouldn’t be an issue.

Of course, the main reason to double up on hemp products is to enjoy the unique effects that each type of delivery method has to offer.  As we know, each delivery method affects the body in its own way.  For instance, using a CBD topical targets a specific area of the body, and acts very quickly.  Meanwhile, taking a CBD edible allows a more subtle but widespread hemp experience that can last for hours at a time.

Because each CBD delivery method has its own absorption rate, it’s likely that taking two CBD products at once will not cause all of those properties to peak at the same time.  For example, if you use a CBD tincture and an edible at the same time, the tincture can peak within thirty minutes and start to wear off just as the edible is beginning to be released into the bloodstream.

How to Combine CBD Products Properly for the Best Results

So, how can you properly take two CBD products together for the best results?  Allow us to share some tips.

Tip #1: Quality is Everything

The first thing to keep in mind is that no matter what, your CBD experience is only going to be as good as the quality of the products themselves.  Taking two cheap, low-quality hemp goods at once will not give you an ideal CBD experience no matter which types of delivery methods you use.

Tip #2: Be Aware of the Milligram Strengths

Of course, one thing that determines how you’ll feel after taking two different forms of CBD is the milligram strength of each.  The potency levels of each product will determine just how strong your overall CBD experience will be.

Tip #3: Time Your Products Properly

Another thing to bear in mind is that timing is everything when mixing CBD delivery methods.  As we said, each type of CBD product has its own absorption rate.  If you’re trying to really finetune your hemp experience, it’s wise to pay attention to how long it takes for each delivery method to peak in your system.  This way, you can take each product at the right time to ensure that the compounds activate when you want them to. 

Example: If you’re taking your CBD at bedtime as a way to unwind, you can consider taking a tincture right before hitting the sack, and an edible as well.  This way, by the time the tincture wears off, the CBD edible will be getting to work while you’re asleep.

Twice the CBD Bliss

If you want to take two different CBD products at one time, there are a few things that you should keep in mind before doing so in order to ensure the best possible results.  Use this guide to go about it properly so that you can have as positive of a CBD experience as possible.
