CBD is a compound from the cannabis plant that is getting increasingly more popular every day as people find out about its potential health benefits, ranging from reducing anxiety to alleviating chronic pain. As it gets integrated into people’s daily wellness routine, a common question arises: how long does CBD stay in your system? Understanding the product and its effects before taking it is extremely important for everyone. This article explores the factors that influence how long the CBD stays in your system, as well as the types of CBD products and their effects on drug testing.
CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp plants. CBD is one of hundreds of different chemical cannabinoids and may have potential health benefits, including reducing anxiety and improving sleep. CBD can come in different forms from CBD oil for sleep to CBD gummies and different products have different effects.
Full spectrum CBD:
Full-spectrum CBD products contain all components from the hemp plant, from cannabidiol to trace amounts of THC. Even a trace amount of THC in full-spectrum CBD might accumulate in your body if you take more than a recommended dose, so frequent overconsumption could lead to a positive drug test.
Broad spectrum CBD:
Broad-spectrum CBD oil contains multiple hemp plant extracts and other compounds from the hemp plant but has THC removed. Using broad-spectrum CBD oil minimises the risk of a positive result in a drug test.
CBD Isolate:
CBD isolate is the purest form of cannabidiol, containing 99% pure, THC-free cannabidiol. CBD isolate is the best option for people who want to feel the health benefits of CBD but regularly have to drug test at work or want to avoid using THC altogether.
Metabolism and what you eat
Metabolism has a big impact on how long CBD stays in your system. The faster your metabolism is, the quicker CBD products will leave your system. If you take cannabidiol with food, it will take longer for your body to digest it. And if you take CBD products on an empty stomach, it will digest them faster and will leave your body much quicker.
Method of use
There are different ways to take CBD products. The way you choose to take CBD will have different effects and will affect how long cannabidiol will stay in your body. Some of the most common CBD products are:
Frequency and dosage
The frequency of usage has a lot of impact on how long CBD products stay in your body. This is because CBD can build up in fat tissue if you are using CBD every day. As with most substances, the more you consume, the stronger effects it will have and it will take longer to leave your system.
Many people who take CBD products are concerned that it will show up on a drug test. Most drug tests are designed to measure the level of THC in the system. They pick up on an enzyme THC-COOH, which metabolises THC and remains in your body for several weeks after consuming a CBD product.
CBD products are not a target of a drug test and usually, most drug tests focus on THC. If you are using THC-free CBD isolate, it will not show up on a drug test. However, if you are using full-spectrum CBD oil, there may be traces of the psychoactive ingredient THC and it may lead to a positive drug test. The most common drug test types are urine tests, but there are others like blood, saliva and hair drug tests that may be used.
How CBD is processed depends on how you take CBD products.
The exact duration of how long CBD can stay in your system varies from a couple of hours to a month. It mostly depends on how often you use it and how much you take. The half-life (how long the body takes to eliminate one-half of a substance) of CBD is usually between 14 and 17 hours.
If you smoke CBD, it will have a quick effect, but will also leave the body quicker. Full-spectrum CBD oil, placed under your tongue will be absorbed into the bloodstream and will stay longer. The slowest option is using gummies, as it will take a while for your digestive system to metabolise CBD.
CBD products are not medicines and can not diagnose, treat or cure diseases. Always consult your own doctor before starting a new dietary program. Nordic Nutris products include hemp extract that contains less than 0.2% THC. This product is not to be used by or sold to persons under the age of 21.
