The bottom line

FAQ
Will CBD make me drowsy during work?
At moderate doses (10-20mg) most users don't report meaningful drowsiness. Higher doses (40mg+) can produce mild sedation in some users. Test your dose on a quiet weekend first.
Should I take CBD daytime or only at night?
Many users take it twice — a lower morning dose and a higher evening dose. Others use it only at night. Both are common patterns.
What makes a CBD oil a daytime CBD oil?
Nothing in the CBD itself: "daytime" is a label a brand puts on a bottle, not a separate kind of CBD. What usually separates a daytime bottle is the flavor (citrus more often than mint), the spectrum (broad-spectrum or isolate, with the THC removed) and what else is in it. Some brands add B12 or CBG, and daytime bottles leave out the melatonin and CBN that nighttime bottles often carry. Read the ingredient list to see which one you are buying.
What time of day do people take a daytime CBD oil?
Most people take it in the morning, often with breakfast and alongside their other supplements, because a meal is an easy cue to remember. Follow the serving directions on your bottle's label and keep the same time each day, so a 30-day bottle lasts 30 days.
Do I need separate bottles for daytime and nighttime CBD?
No. The oil inside a brand's daytime and nighttime bottles is often the same; the difference is usually the flavor and any added ingredients. Some people keep one bottle and take it twice a day, others keep a citrus bottle for the morning and a mint bottle for the evening. botanCBD's broad-spectrum drops come in Natural, Fresh Mint and Peruvian Lime, at the same price for each strength.
Which strength should I buy for a daytime bottle?
Work it out from the milligrams in a full dropper. On botanCBD's broad-spectrum drops a full dropper is about 17mg on the 500mg bottle and about 50mg on the 1,500mg bottle. If your morning serving is 10-20mg, the 500mg bottle measures it in most of a dropper and the 1,500mg bottle in a fraction of one, at a lower cost per milligram. Buy the strength that matches the amount you already take.
