CBD capsules offer a convenient and fast way to take CBD. Their consistent dose allows you to easily incorporate wellness practices.
These capsules include ingredients to promote better sleep and lavender to relieve stress. Furthermore, our broad spectrum CBD oil has undergone an additional nanotechnology process for easier absorption.
Benefits
Capsules provide an efficient and accessible method of taking CBD. They’re easily integrated into daily vitamin and supplement routines, unlike oils which require you to vape or place under-the-tongue tincture drops for consumption. Furthermore, capsules deliver precise dosage of CBD that may otherwise be difficult to achieve using other products.
Capsules may help treat anxiety, pain, nausea and dystonia – among others – effectively. CBD has been shown to alleviate these conditions’ symptoms as well as lower blood pressure by modulating heart contractions and widening blood vessels.
However, it’s important to be aware that CBD may interact with medications. It could increase or reduce levels of antidepressants like Paxil, Celexa and Remeron; and decrease their effectiveness for benzodiazepine sedatives like Klonopin (clonazepam) and Ativan, or immuno-suppressants like Sandimmune (cyclosporine). Therefore it’s always a good idea to read labels carefully and consult your physician prior to taking supplements containing CBD.
Dosage
CBD capsules offer an easy, convenient, and discrete way to take exactly the dose you need of CBD. They fit easily into any daily vitamin or medication routine and offer discreet administration wherever life may lead.
Your ideal CBD dose depends on a number of factors, including body weight and composition as well as the condition you are treating. To start small and gradually increase it; for instance if you’re taking CBD to treat pain you might start with 40 mg daily for seven days before increasing to 50 mg at weekly intervals – keeping track of dosage and how it affects you is also helpful for keeping track of progress and managing pain levels effectively.
Hobbs et al. 34 administered 30 mg oral CBD to healthy participants and observed that it significantly decreased TNF-a concentrations in cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells; it did not however, reduce either systolic or diastolic blood pressure or improve perceived stress and anxiety levels.
Side effects
CBD may help with anxiety, pain relief, dystonia and sleep issues. According to preclinical studies, it may also extend life for those diagnosed with aggressive cancer called glioblastoma; though its risks should not be underestimated. Animal studies revealed that CBD caused developmental toxicity, embryo-fetal mortality, central nervous system inhibition and neurotoxicity; hepatocellular injury leading to reduced fertility; reduced organ weight and blood pressure. CBD is an effective inhibitor of P-glycoprotein efflux transporters and ABCC1 efflux transporters, thus decreasing placental permeability. Furthermore, CBD inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes involved in drug metabolism while increasing plasma concentrations of anandamide–an endogenous cannabinoid produced naturally within our bodies.
Studies conducted using Epidiolex, an FDA-approved CBD drug, demonstrated that CBD increased levels of blood-thinning medicines and antiepileptic drugs by competing with liver enzymes that break them down. In addition, CBD interacted with sedating medicines like Klonopin (clonazepam), Ativan (lorazepam) and Valium (diazepam) which may increase drowsiness. Furthermore, Epidiolex increased alcohol and herbal products’ sedating effects by competing with liver enzymes that broke them down.
Interactions
CBD capsules act as enzyme inhibitors, slowing down how quickly your body processes other medications and may cause them to build up in your system, potentially leading to unwanted side effects. Therefore, it is advisable that if taking other medications alongside CBD capsules you consult with a physician first.
CBD should be carefully monitored alongside antipsychotics, antidepressants, and pain relievers. Furthermore, it can increase seizure medications’ potency but could potentially decrease their efficacy depending on how it interacts with each medication – both benefits are possible depending on individual situations.
CBD interacts with two cytochrome P450 enzymes known as CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, meaning when taken alongside medications metabolized by these enzymes such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors such as tranylcypromine, phenelzine, or isocarboxazid it may increase adverse side effects and interfere with activity for drugs like risperidone and omeprazole which could result in increased serum concentrations.
