CBD dietary supplements are not yet well known in the Czech Republic, but abroadIn the Czech Republic, their popularity is growing rapidly and their users praise the effects of CBD.
When I got the opportunity to test CBD oil, I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking that this was again just a trend that would soon fade away. But then I changed my mind and embarked on product testing, which took place over more than a month to ensure maximum objectivity in the review.
Content of the review
It should be noted that the use of CBD is perfectly safe and completely legal. So you don't have to worry about using a banned substance. So what effects did I feel? Is it worth investing in the product? This and much more you will find out in the review.
The tested products and their difference
At the beginning of the whole review, I have to tell you that we tested two CBD products. The first wasCBD oil from Bulk Powderswhich is a pure CBD isolate, which means that it does not contain any other cannabinoid components, including negative THC. On the market, it is the cheapest CBD oil you can get.
MyFitnessio TIP:
The second product tested was a full-spectrum CBD oil from Green Earth. The fact that it is full-spectrum means that it also contains all the other cannabinoids, including THC in trace amounts, which ensuresThis ensures a much stronger CBD blend, after which you will feel all the benefits at a much lower dosage. However, there is a big negative here and that is the presence of THC, so it is not recommended to usein jobs where you may be tested for banned substances in the body. This is the most expensive CBD oil you can buy.
There is another type of CBD oils on the market and these are broad spectrum oils. In these supplements we can find both CBD and its synergistic cannabinoid components, but without the presence of negativeTHC, which is the best choice for people who want maximum effect, but without the presence of the aforementioned THC.
How to take CBD?
It is recommended to take CBD in the evening or late afternoon. Of course, it is best after work or other activities when you need to be fully active. CBD oil will help you to rest, relax and regenerate impeccably. Just drip the desired amount under your tongue, hold it there for one minute and then swallow.
Specifically, if we take the Green Earth CBD product we tested. This product has a CBD representation of 10%, which means that in one drop we find 4 mg of CBD. However, there are different representations of CBD on the market, so here is the approximate amount of CBD in one drop.
- 1% - 0.5 mg
- 2% - 1 mg
- 5% - 2 mg
- 10% - 4 mg
- 21% - 8.5 mg
The recommended daily dose is 20-40 mg of CBD. However, everyone will have to find their ideal dosage.
- Another great time to take CBD is in the morning after breakfast. CBD should give you a jump start similar to coffee and you should be full of energy for the later stages of the day.
- There are also suggestions that it is a good idea to take CBD oil before a workout. Here again, it should replace caffeine, it should perk you up but pleasantly calm your mind and make your workout more focused.
- Last but not least, someone is also an advocate of taking CBD after a workout, when it should help with the recovery of strained muscles.
You need to test when CBD oil suits you best. It will be individual for everyone.
CBD oil reviews from Bulk Powders
First and foremost, I have to point out that even when I received the shipment, I had slight doubts becausethat the CBD oil was a clear, transparent color, whereas on the manufacturer's official website it is shown in a brown color. However, I didn't pay too much attention to this and set about testing it.
Since it is a CBD isolate, the dosage needs to be increased. The manufacturer states on the packaging 1-8 drops up to 3 times a day under the tongue. So I started testing 8 drops of CBD oil after dinner every day. After dripping the oil under my tongue, I waited about 1-2 minutes and then swallowed the oil. The taste was bitter, very much like cannabis. At first I didn't like the taste very much, but the longer I used the product, the more I got used to it and now it doesn't give me problems anymore.
Unfortunately, I have to say that there were no effects at all. So I increased the dosage by 8 drops a day, which I applied in the same way, but in the morning after breakfast.I still felt no effects, the only thing I felt was ironically a worsening of sleep, which CBD definitely shouldn't do. After 14 days of testing, I felt none of the positive effects mentioned above.I even tried using CBD pre-workout or post-workout at a dose of 5 drops, but even here I didn't notice any big difference. The post-workout recovery was still the same.
Review of the better quality CBD oil from Green Earth
After a very negative experience with Bulk Powders, I was determined to try Green Earth's CBD oil. Here the product differed in that it is a full spectrum CBD oil, so the effects should be achieved at a significantly smaller dosage. Immediately upon receiving the shipment , the oil was a beautiful brown colour, as CBD oil should be. So it was a very promising start.
The manufacturer states that the product should be dosed at 1 drop once a day. I started taking the product at 2 drops after dinner. However, I did not feel any effects here, so I had to increase the dosage up to 5 drops per day. After increasing the dosage , I finally started to feel a relaxed feeling about 30 minutes after taking the CBD. I felt less stress and was more relaxed.I didn't increase the dosage any further, just took the CBD at the samem amount later in the evening, about 1 hour before bedtime. By doing this, I actually achieved better falling asleep and sleep overall.
I also tried CBD oil in the morning after breakfast, again taking 5 drops under my tongue and swallowing after 1 minute. However, the only thing I felt was relaxation again and feeling less stress. Unfortunately, I was unable to experience any of the other benefits mentioned above.to notice, because none of the above mentioned problemsm, however, I do believe that regular use of CBD has many healthbenefits and I am sure that most of those mentioned are true.
Final summary
So is it worth investing in CBD products or is it just a wasted investment? I have to say that it' s definitely not a dietary supplement that you can do without. If CBD hasn't appealed to you in any way, don't despair, you definitely don't need to buy the product and you may not mind at all because you won't be at any great disadvantage.
On the other hand, CBD oil is for us, after a long time, a very interesting product that really works and whose effects you will really feel. It will affect some people more, some people less, but it will have an effect. Everything is individual and you have to try it for yourself.
In conclusion, CBD oil is definitely not a product for everyone and it is up to you to consider whether you will actually use the effects. For people who have trouble sleeping and suffer from the other aforementionedproblems, I would definitely recommend that they at least try CBD and see if it can help them in these ways.
