CBD (cannabidiol) oil is growing in popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits. Many new users have questions about taking CBD oil, including when it’s safe to drink water afterwards. This article will provide clear guidelines on timing water consumption when taking CBD oil.
People use CBD oil as a supplement to support overall health and address various conditions. Some potential benefits include:
CBD is a versatile supplement, but correct usage is important to maximize effectiveness. So when can you drink water after taking it?
Hydration is crucial for health, regardless if using CBD oil or not. Follow these recommendations on timing water intake with CBD (2) :
Before Taking CBD Oil
Immediately After Taking CBD Oil
Throughout the Day While Taking CBD Oil
With Food After Taking CBD Oil
Avoid Gulping Lots of Water Right After
Keep these tips in mind:
Proper timing with water improves absorption and maximizes CBD oil effects. As with starting any new supplement, consult your doctor before using CBD oil. Evaluate after 2-4 weeks if the dosage helps meet your health goals.
Along with timing water intake correctly, you may wonder whether popular drinks like coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, or juice impact CBD absorption or effects. Here are some tips:
Staying hydrated with pure, neutral pH water is optimal around dosing time, while drinks like coffee or tea during your CBD routine are fine. Soda, alcohol and fruit juice can diminish or alter CBD’s effects so consume those at separate times from your supplement schedule for best results.
Does taking it on an empty stomach matter?
A small percent of users may experience some GI discomfort when taking CBD oil on an especially empty stomach. Taking it with a little food can help minimize adverse effects.
Is sublingual always best?
While it allows very fast absorption, for extended release medications oral ingestion can be preferred. Discontinue sublingual use if it causes mouth irritation.
How does CBD oil interact with other medications?
CBD oil can interact with certain medications by affecting how your body processes these drugs. It’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before starting CBD oil if you’re taking any medications, especially those with a “grapefruit warning.”
Is there a risk of addiction or dependency on CBD oil?
Current research suggests that CBD does not have addictive properties and is not likely to cause dependency (4). However, always use CBD products responsibly and as directed.
It’s important to recognize that the interplay between CBD oil consumption and water intake can potentially influence the effectiveness of CBD. However, it’s essential to understand that these are general guidelines and not definitive rules. Individual responses to CBD oil can differ significantly. While it is crucial to maintain proper hydration for overall health, it is equally important to be attentive to your body’s unique reactions and needs. Remember, this information should not substitute professional medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your health regimen, especially when it involves substances like CBD oil.
