500mg Natural CBD Oil (30ml)

Common CBD Questions

HOW LONG DOES CBD TAKE TO WORK AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

If you take CBD oil, evidence suggests that you should start to feel the benefits between 1 to 6 hours later.  Holding the oil under your tongue before swallowing accelerates the absorption into your body so this may speed up that time.

Once CBD enters your body, it needs to interact with proteins in your body and central nervous system for the effects to be felt.

The lasting effects of CBD will also depend on the type and strength of the product but 2 – 6 hours seems to be a typical estimate.  However, there are reports of longer periods, particularly by those who take CBD to aid their sleep.  Research also suggests there is a cumulative effect of taking CBD and that it becomes more effective if taken on a regular basis.

IS CBD ADDICTIVE?

CBD is different to THC in having no psychoactive effect and a variety of research has shown that it is not addictive.

One other theory is that our body produces cannabinoids in the ECS and therefore we can’t become addicted to something that is naturally produced in our own bodies.

WHAT DOES CBD DO?

CBD is used for a variety of different reasons and has been reported to be beneficial for people who are suffering from pain, anxiety, stress and insomnia. Research is still ongoing into all the benefits of CBD for the human body. However, what is known is that CBD, being a plant-based cannabinoid (a phytocannabinoid), is similar in structure to cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) which are naturally produced by the human body by your endocannabinoid system (ECS).  The ECS helps regulate a variety of your body’s functions including temperature, appetite and digestion, sleep, memory, mood, pain, and pleasure.

The two primary receptors that have been identified are the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are predominantly in the brain and immune system respectively.  The theory is that, by taking a phytocannabinoid such as CBD, we support our ECS which itself is important for our overall health and wellness.

It is important to note that CBD products are not pharmaceuticals and the research referred to above is not yet to a pharmaceutical standard.  In line with best practice and UK regulations, like many other CBD companies, Voyager does not make any claims about what our products will do for you.  Instead we comment on anecdotal evidence on CBD that has been publicly reported and we demonstrate to our customers through our lab reports that our CBD products are of very high quality.

HOW DOES CBD MAKE YOU FEEL?

Everyone’s response to CBD will be different. Many people report feeling more relaxed after taking CBD products and for this reason it has become popular for managing stress, anxiety or insomnia. CBD is different to THC (and none of our products contain any THC) so taking CBD will not get you “high”. 

HOW MUCH CBD SHOULD I TAKE?

This depends on a variety of factors.  Firstly the UK government advises that a person takes no more than 70mg of CBD in a 24 hour period.  All of our products make it clear on their label how much, according to their strength you should take in this period.
