How to Use Hemp Oil

If you’re struggling with pain, inflammation, stress, or anxiety, pure hemp extract can stimulate healthy communication between your nervous, circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive systems. Here’s how to use hemp oil to create pathways for the body to heal itself.

How Much Hemp Oil Should I Take? Finding Your Dose

The bottle you purchased shows a recommended serving of 2 milliliters. However, hemp extract is more like food than medicine. The exact amount to take isn’t an exact science. Every person has an individual response to hemp. While some customers tell us they only need a small amount, others will chronic pain find relief after doubling or tripling the recommended serving. The actual amount you need is individual to you and your needs. If you’re unsure of how much to take, we recommend starting with low doses and seeing how you feel. This technique is called “low and slow.” For example, a customer took 1 ml and felt some slight improvement on day one. On day two, they increased the serving to 1.5 ml and felt more improvement. On day three, the 2 ml serving gave them full relief.


To help the extract reach your blood faster, put it under your tongue and holding there for a minute before swallowing. You can take it before or after meals and at any time of the day. Take more servings more often to keep a constant supply in your bloodstream. Any way you take it, you’ll be getting up to 17 times as much absorption as any other brand.

How Do I Know if it’s Working?

Many people benefit from tracking their progress/ Many hemp oil users know fairly quickly when hemp extract is working. Some know if merely minutes. We recommend using a journal to help you discover your ideal serving, number of servings, and time of day.  Gauge how your body reacts to that specific dose of hemp oil, then increase gradually until you find your perfect dosage. Plus, rate your symptoms to help you judge the effectiveness of your treatment.

Enhancing Absorption

Clinical studies show most hemp products absorb only 3% to 6% into the bloodstream, which doesn’t provide many benefits. Several hemp extract products dilute the hemp extract in a sea of hemp seed oil or coconut oil. While there is a slight nutritional value to hemp seed or coconut, they don’t deliver the same health benefits of CBD. Make sure to read the label carefully to ensure you’re getting maximum absorption. Our hemp products get a remarkable 80% rate. In every single bottle of Optivida's Hemp Extract. Combined with our amazing absorption rates you would need about 8,100 milligrams of a competing hemp extract.

To maximize your hemp oil and to assist in the maintenance of Optivida’s products, we recommend the following:

  • Consistency is the key to success.
  • If you’re sensitive to flavors, mix your oil into your favorite food or drink.
