If you’ve considered CBD but wondered if taking it every day is a good idea, you’re not alone. In the past few years, a variety of studies have explored the potential of daily CBD as a plant-based option to complement wellness routines. People are investigating CBD for many reasons, such as supporting their approach to stress, mood, or lifestyle rituals. Many find that consistent daily use suits their personal wellness goals.

However, not all CBD products are the same. Where your CBD supplement comes from, as well as how it’s grown, harvested, and processed, can influence your experience. At Papa & Barkley, we believe that for our products to be good for you, they also need to be good for our workers and our communities.

With that in mind, we’d like to share some of the reasons why people add CBD to activities such as exercise, yoga, and evening routines as part of their wellness strategies.

The Potential of Daily CBD: Consistency and Support

If you’ve ever visited our CBD Blog, you probably know that CBD—like THC, the compound responsible for the cannabis plant’s psychoactive “high”—is a cannabinoid, or one of the major compounds of cannabis and its plant cousin, hemp. These cannabinoids interact with our bodies through the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a naturally occurring regulatory network in the body.

Unlike THC, CBD does not cause a “high.” Many users report a gentle sense of calm or well-being, though each person’s experience can differ.

Many people believe that maintaining balance in body systems can support general feelings of wellness. That’s one reason why some choose to include a CBD supplement in their routine.

To cite one example, a 2019 study found that taking CBD for at least a month was associated with changes in social behaviors among a group of teens. Another study on daily CBD use for sleep patterns observed differences after long-term dosing.

Of course, with any supplement, it’s wise to consider potential long-term effects. Many studies suggest that CBD is a well-tolerated plant compound. When taken daily in CBD oil, CBD gummies, or CBD softgel or capsule formats, some people choose to include these in their wellness routines at a variety of serving sizes.

Incorporating a Daily CBD Supplement: Choosing a Format

Ingestible CBD, such as oils, gummies, or capsules, works through your digestive system. There are differences between using CBD topicals and ingestibles. Because the compounds in cannabis ingestibles are processed through the stomach and liver, it may take up to 90 minutes to notice any effects, and the duration can last several hours. When using a CBD ingestible such as our CBD Releaf Capsules, it’s best to wait at least 90 minutes before considering another serving.

CBD in liquid form, as with our CBD Releaf Oil, provides flexible control over serving size. You can use these drops to add CBD to your favorite foods or beverages by dispensing one to two dropperfuls (1-2 ml), mixing, and enjoying as part of your day.
