How Long Does It Take For CBD To Kick In?

All our CBD products are made with the same premium, full-spectrum hemp, but they are absorbed differently and affect the body at different rates. That’s why a Dosage Specialist can help personalize your routine.

Fast-Acting CBD

Daily Drops (300mg or 1500mg Extra Strength):
Daily Drops start working 10–30 minutes after taking them. Place one full dropper under your tongue, hold it for 60 seconds, then swallow. This “sublingual absorption” allows the CBD to quickly enter the bloodstream and can be taken without food.

 

Slow-Release CBD

Daily Softgels

Daily Softgels work in the background and absorb best with food. Swallowed like vitamins, they take about 1–3 hours to kick in, depending on metabolism and what you’ve eaten.
A University of Minnesota study found that fat-rich foods increase CBD absorption by 4x. Try pairing your softgel with snacks like almonds, avocado toast, or cottage cheese.

Daily Gummies

Daily Gummies are a tasty way to take CBD. They begin absorbing in your mouth while you chew—more chewing means quicker activation. Effects start in 30 minutes to 1 hour and last 4–8 hours. Can be taken with or without food.

Speedy Quick CBD

Rapid Calming Melts

Rapid Calming Melts are our fastest CBD product, kicking in within 5–10 minutes. They use mucosal binding technology, absorbing up to 95% of the CBD. Just wet your mouth, place the Melt under your tongue, and let it absorb. Many users report a “wave of calm.

 

Your Endocannabinoid System and You

Everyone’s body is different, so your CBD experience may vary from others'. CBD interacts with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)—a network in our body that helps regulate and repair systems under stress. Over time, the ECS can become depleted, and CBD helps replenish it.

You might feel effects within hours, but full results come with daily, consistent use. Many women see results in 1–3 weeks, though longer-term issues may take 2–3 months. CBD is a marathon, not a sprint.

If you're not seeing results after a week, consider contacting your Dosage Specialist. You can email the Dosage Support team at wellness@myeq.com or set up a complimentary consultation at www.myeq.com/wellness
