What Are the Top 5 Benefits of Using CBD Oil?

There are so many different ways to take CBD, from capsules to Gummies to skincare. So, why is it that CBD oils are one of the most searched for (and some of our bestselling) products around? Let’s take a look at the CBD oil benefits that make it a favourite time and again, whether you’re a CBD beginner or you’re already taking daily droppers in your self-care regimen…


5 CBD oil benefits


1. Boosted bioavailability

Because you take CBD oil underneath your tongue, you benefit from high bioavailability. In other words, your body can absorb and make use of a high percentage of the compound. This is because you have a high number of blood vessels in this area of your mouth, and the CBD travels through these vessels to make its way into your system. 

To make our CBD oils even absorbent, they’re formulated with coconut oil, which tastes delicious but also serves a purpose beyond the hint of coconut flavour. Because it’s an MCT (medium-chain triglyceride), it acts as an effective carrier oil, ensuring even more of the CBD it’s mixed with is able to be absorbed by your body. 


2. Faster digestion

Another perk of high bioavailability is the fact that CBD oils get into your system faster than other methods. So, if you want a quicker onset time, squeezing drops of oil underneath your tongue is the way to go. And while the time it takes to digest varies based on a range of factors – from what you’ve eaten to your height – it’s thought that CBD oil takes only around 5-20 minutes to get into your system. 


3. Delicious flavours

Have you tried raw CBD oil? Let’s just say it’s an acquired taste, which is why we’ve worked so hard to bring you truly delicious CBD oils that you can enjoy taking. Case in point: our Bright Days CBD Oil Drops come in Juicy Orange and Lime & Juniper flavours, while our Night-Time CBD Oil Drops are available in Soothing Peppermint or Forest Fruits

Of course, it’s not just our CBD oils that taste good. Our Bright Days, Good Night and Calm CBD Gummies also feature fruity flavours, making your self-care routine something you look forward to.

4. High CBD strengths

Looking for our highest-strength CBD products? Then our CBD oils are your pick. Try our Juicy Orange Bright Days CBD Oil Drops or Forest Fruits Night-Time CBD Oil Drops, which give you 3,000mg CBD in each 30ml bottle (or 10% percent strength). They’re perfect for anyone looking to start strong or increase their existing CBD dosage. The bottles even come with glass measuring pipettes, so you can measure out your perfect amount. 


5. Great with food

CBD oil is so versatile, you can even mix it in with your favourite food and drinks. It’s all about getting the flavours right, so keep that in mind when you’re choosing your next CBD recipe. Try the Soothing Peppermint Night-Time CBD Oil Drops in a hot chocolate, the Lime & Juniper Bright Days CBD Oil Drops in a salad dressing, or the Juicy Orange Bright Days CBD Oil Drops in your morning smoothie for an added pick-me-up.  


Do you swallow CBD oil?

You can swallow CBD oil but the best way to take it is sublingually. That means squeezing it underneath your tongue and holding it there for 90 seconds, so the CBD can absorb. It’s inevitable that you’ll end up swallowing at least some of the oil, but the benefits of having your CBD oil under the tongue means your body can absorb it more quickly and thoroughly.


Can I use CBD oil in cooking or drinks?

You can, with our fruity flavours matching well in marinades, cakes or hot drinks. However, your body will absorb it more effectively when you place the CBD oil under the tongue.


Is it better to take CBD oil day or night?

One of the great things about CBD oil is that it fits with your wellness routine, so you don’t have to make any drastic changes to your day-to-day schedule. It’s up to you whether you take it day or night; choose a time that suits your lifestyle, and also keep in mind what your wellness goals are to get the timing just right. For example, if you want to enhance your wind-down routine, Night-Time CBD Oil Drops might be best for you, while those looking for some morning sunshine can enjoy Bright Days CBD Oil Drops when they wake up.

What does CBD oil taste like?

As we touched on earlier, our formula ensures all of our CBD oils are just as delicious as they are beneficial. Taking away the bitterness of raw CBD oil, our Bright Days CBD Oil Drops come in Juicy Orange and Lime & Juniper flavours, while our Night-Time CBD Oil Drops are available in Soothing Peppermint or Forest Fruits.


Can I use CBD oil for skincare routines?

You can, but not all CBD oils are designed for massaging into skin. Our Bright Days and Night-Time CBD Oil Drops are for ingesting only, but the Body Rescue CBD Body Oil is the perfect oil for nourishing dry skin, with a carefully curated blend of moisturising ingredients that transform dull, tired limbs in seconds flat.
