“What happens if I mix different CBD oils?”.
This is not a common question we get from our customers but it is something we consider important to address. Just like with any clinical medication, we should always know if the supplements we put inside our body interact with other treatments, with our own metabolism, and, of course, with our brains.
In this article, we will go through a couple of different scenarios in which you may deem it necessary to combine different types of CBD oils and we will explain what happens if you do it.
Mixing CBD Oils
We all know that CBD has multiple properties that improve both your physical and mental health. But what if you are looking to target some specific issues using specific brands or types of oils?
Different Concentrations, Different Brands
When thinking of using different brands, you should always ask yourself why would you feel you need to? One brand usually carries CBD oils with various formulas and concentrations and, within that one brand products are done using CBD from the same source.
Why is this important? Well, the just of it is: for safety reasons. The source of the hemp and cannabis grown is an important aspect when trying to figure out which CBD brand to use. As with any other supplement, it is crucial that you do a thorough research on the brand, its formulas, its labs, and its sourcing process.
Remember, a truly organic CBD oil should come from pesticide-free, organically grown marijuana or hemp. It should not contain any traces of pesticides since these are potentially dangerous to the body.
Same Brand, Different Concentrations
We want to clarify this: nothing negative will happen to your health if you pivot from different concentrations. However, as with the previous scenario, you should always ask yourself the reason behind wanting to take CBD oils from the same brand but with different concentrations.
For example, if you are using CBD oil for both pain and anxiety, you may find that 1500mg of CBD isolate is great are helping you manage both of those symptoms (supposing that they are both on the same level).
On the other hand, if you are dealing with severe arthritis which causes a lot of pain and a bit of stress (like any other health condition), you might feel inclined to try a higher-concentration oil. In this scenario, you wouldn’t need to still take the 1500mg oil to take care of your stress/anxiety as well as the 3000mg oil to help you manage your pain. As they are both made with CBD isolate, they will both have the same properties. The only thing that changes is, that the higher the concentration, the less of a dose you will need to get better results.
The general idea is that you can use different concentrations to target different issues in different moments of the day, but we would recommend you do a rigorous tracking of the doses you are taking so you won’t exceed the daily amount and cause harm to yourself.
Mixing CBD Products
CBD Isolate and Full-Spectrum CBD
CBD isolate and full-spectrum CBD are used for a variety of symptoms. Though it could seem that full-spectrum formulas are just stronger than ones with CBD isolate in them, it’s not always the case.
Did you know that some people take CBD to isolate during the day and use full-spectrum at night? This is because CBD isolate is great for anxiety and focus while oils containing full-spectrum CBD are great before going to bed as they enhance sleep and are better are improving your sleep quality through the night. Of course, this all depends on how your body interacts with the different types of CBD. So, if you are mixing CBD isolate, full-spectrum CBD, or broad-spectrum CBD, just pay attention to how your body and mind react to it, and always track the dosage.
Topical CBD and CBD Oils
We understand that it sometimes feels nice to have a bunch of gadgets at our disposal to take care of our physical and mental health. However, mixing topical CBD with CBD oils during the day is not the same as using a fidget toy while massaging your feet.
This is because, even though ingesting CBD is a more direct and effective way of taking this supplement, the skin is an organ that absorbs what we put on it. This means that all pomades and essential oils we put on our joints to relieve tension and soreness can absorb into our skin and our bloodstream.
So, even though it may not cause any serious alterations to your health and balance, taking CBD oil while also using CBD topicals may alter the concentration and dosage that is put inside your body and it is something you should pay attention to.
Conclusion
Mixing CBD oils or CBD products has no major impact on your mental or physical health. However, as supplements, concentrations should be taken into account as they are what define the dosages that you are putting into your body. As a brand, we always say that there is no need to use multiple CBD products and that you should always keep it simple and easy.
