How to Use CBD Syrup Safely and Effectively

How to Use CBD Syrup? 

CBD syrups use is quite simple. You don’t need much preparation or arrangement.  
 
Whether you’re looking for sleep improvement, relaxation, or pain relief, with proper dosing and consumption methods, you’ll surely reap all these benefits.  
 
Reputed manufacturers made cannabidiol syrups with fast-acting nanotechnology. This means the cannabinoids present in the syrup can easily be mixed with water-based solutions like beverages. 
 
That’s why you can consume your CBD syrup with your favorite drink. Besides, direct consumption is also possible. Some CBD users infuse syrup into recipes as well. To obtain faster onset effects, some also use it through the sublingual method (under the tongue). 
 
Here are the ways to consume your CBD-infused syrup: 

• Direct Consumption 
• Sublingual Consumption 
• Mixed with Beverages 
• Infused into Recipes 

 

Direct Consumption

The simplest way to use cannabis syrup is direct consumption. The first thing you need to do is measure the desired dosage of CBD syrup. Use a measuring spoon or dropper. 
 
Place the measured amount of syrup directly into your mouth and swallow it. Then, allow the syrup to linger in your mouth. This will increase absorption. 
 
If the taste doesn’t feel better, you can follow up with a drink of water if needed. This method is simple and offers a very convenient way to consume CBD syrup. Plus, you can also maintain precise dosage control. 

Sublingual Consumption

Another great way to consume CBD syrup is through the sublingual method (under the tongue). It gives faster onset effects compared to other consumption methods. 
 
First, tilt your head slightly backward to create a clear space under the tongue. Using the dropper or spoon, place the measured dosage of CBD syrup directly under the tongue. 
 
Try to aim for the area beneath the tongue, known as the sublingual gland, where mucous membranes are most absorbent. Once the syrup is under the tongue, keep it there and do not swallow it immediately. 
 
You should hold the syrup under your tongue for at least 60 seconds to allow absorption through the mucous membranes. During this time, you can gently swish the syrup around your mouth to make sure it comes into contact with as much of the sublingual area as possible. 
 
If there is any residue left in your mouth, you can rinse it with water to make sure you consume all the CBD syrup. Using the under-the-tongue method, you can expect to feel the effects within 15 to 30 minutes. 
 
Of note: The effects may vary depending on factors such as dosage, body weight, individual body chemistry and metabolism, and the potency of the syrup. 

Mixed With Beverages 

 

You can also take CBD syrups with a variety of beverages. 
 
Here's how you can drink CBD syrup by blending it with your favorite beverage:  

1. First measure out the desired dosage of CBD syrup.  
2. Next, you need to add the measured syrup to your favorite beverages such as tea, coffee, juice, or smoothies. 
3. Stir or shake the beverage well to ensure the CBD syrup is evenly distributed. 
4. That’s all! Now you can enjoy your CBD syrup drink! 

 

Infused into Recipes

 

You can also use CBD oil-infused syrup as an ingredient in various recipes to infuse your favorite foods with CBD. You can easily mix CBD syrups into recipes for desserts, sauces, dressings, or marinades. 
 
Here are some of the basics about infusing CBD syrup into recipes that you might want to know:  

1. Measure your desired dosage of CBD syrup first. 
2. You can follow the cooking directions and either leave out or add the CBD syrup as suggested. 
3. Enjoy the infused dish as a tasty way to consume CBD while enjoying your meal. 
4. Lastly, you’re always allowed to cook with CBD oil-infused syrup. So, use your creativity in the kitchen and provide an enjoyable way to add CBD to your diet. 

How Much CBD Syrup Should I Take Per Day? 

It's quite difficult to say how much CBD syrup you should take per day. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate CBD products. So, the unregulated products may contain too much or too little CBD concentration per milliliter. Plus, there are no official recommended dosages for CBD.   

That’s why it’s always best to consult your doctor to know the right dosage for you. According to research published in PubMed, up to 1500mg of CBD per day is well-tolerated in humans. 
 
If you’re using syrup for the first time, you should start with low doses. As a general rule, 10 mg to 25 mg twice a day is a mild and suitable dose to begin your CBD experience. The other way to find your own doses is to try different ones, going from low to high. 
 

Facts to Keep in Mind While Using CBD Syrup

There are a few things that you need to keep in mind while using CBD syrups. 
 
Here are some of these facts: 

• If you’re new to CBD start with low doses. 
• If you want to experience faster onset effects, consume it sublingually. 
• Taking it on an empty stomach also helps you to feel the effects quickly. 
• Read the CBD syrup product label to understand CBD content and dosage instructions. 
• The effects of CBD syrup may take some time to manifest, so be patient. 
• After each use of CBD syrup, seal it properly, and store it in a cool, dark, and dry place away from sunlight. 
• Keep your syrup jar out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion. 
• Don’t take syrups if you’re on certain prescription medications.  

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 
Here are some relevant questions and answers related to CBD Syrup and its consumption methods. 

What Is the Most Effective Consumption Method for CBD Syrup?

Sublingually consumed syrup can be more effective and can provide the maximum benefits if taken correctly. To do so, just place a few drops of CBD syrup under the tongue and wait for 60 to 90 seconds to absorb it fully. 

What Are the Benefits of Taking CBD Syrups? 

The most common benefit of cannabidiol syrup is sleep improvement. Consuming it before bedtime can enhance your sleep quality and duration. Since CBD syrups are often formulated with CBN (cannabinol), known for their sedative effects, and melatonin, which helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms, they can act as sleep aids for you.  

Can I Use Cannabidiol Syrup with Other Medications? 

CBD should not be taken in any form if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking certain prescription medication. Some medications, for example, blood thinners or antidepressants, can interact with CBD and cause mild to severe side effects. 

The Bottom Line

Hopefully, you’re now aware of how to use CBD syrup correctly. To recapitulate, it's pretty easy to use CBD syrups. You can drink it by itself or mix it with your favorite drink. You can follow the sublingual absorption (under-the-tongue) way as well to get the most out of it. In this way, CBD will directly reach the bloodstream and start to kick in. 
 
However, you can also drink it with your favorite beverage, like tea or coffee. Some people might like it better if they added it to their own recipes as well. In the end, it's up to you and what you want!
