Full Spectrum CBD Tinctures
(1000 mg and 3000 mg)

You’ll typically begin to feel the effects of a full-spectrum CBD tincture within 15-30 minutes of placing it under your tongue, although the precise speed of onset can depend on your metabolism and tolerance. This fast-acting quality is one reason many people consider tinctures one of the best ways to take CBD.

You’ll usually feel the effects of CBD oil tinctures for around 3-6 hours after they begin to kick in. The exact duration can depend on factors including your body mass and metabolic speed, as well as the amount of CBD you’ve taken. Higher doses will take longer for your body to break down, increasing the amount of time you feel the effects.

Note that CBD might have subtle wellness benefits that persist even after the effects on your mood fade away. This substance can remain in the body for more than a day after ingestion, where it may continue to gently reduce inflammation and enhance your resilience to stress.

It’s usually best to take a small amount of CBD tincture at first — around 10-20 mg per day is often a good starting point — and slowly increase as needed. The ideal dosage can depend on your weight, tolerance, and the severity of your symptoms.

If you’re not feeling the desired effects after a few days, you may want to up the dosage by 15-30 mg. Continue fine-tuning like this until you find the right dose for you.

A dropper contains 1 milliliter (mL) of our all-natural CBD oil, though there are also marker lines showing 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 mL. One full dropper will include 33 mg of cannabidiol if you’re using a 1000 mg FOCL CBD tincture. 3000 mg full-spectrum tinctures deliver 100 mg of CBD per dropper.

Full-spectrum CBD tinctures include the full range of active compounds found in cannabis, including trace amounts of delta-9 THC (less than 0.3%). Broad-spectrum tinctures are completely THC-free.

Although cannabidiol is the main active ingredient in both types of hemp extract, some research indicates that THC may enhance its wellness benefits. Many users feel that full-spectrum products produce a slightly more potent relaxation effect compared to broad-spectrum CBD. However, those who are more sensitive to THC’s negative side effects might prefer a broad-spectrum formula.

A full-spectrum CBD tincture consists of a complete hemp flower extract dissolved in a carrier oil such as hemp seed oil or coconut oil. “Full-spectrum” means it contains all of the biologically active components of hemp, including phytocannabinoids like CBN and THC as well as various flavonoids and terpenes.

Why does this matter? Because the wellness benefits of CBD may be enhanced by these seemingly minor ingredients. For example, many flavonoids have antioxidant properties that could support the anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing abilities of CBD.

Other cannabinoids may also interact with the endocannabinoid system in ways that complement CBD’s effects. That’s why, for instance, many of the best CBD tinctures for sleep also include CBN, which has been found to promote drowsiness and reduce sleep disruptions.
