The first thing would be to try increasing the dose. Everyone is different and body weight also has an effect ie, a large man would need to use more than a small woman. The second thing would be to ensure that you have enough essential fatty acids in your diet, omega 3 in particular. When you take CBD oil, CBD and cannabinoids in the oil interact with the receptors in your endocannabinoid system, just like cannabinoids synthesized naturally inside your body because the chemical structure is essentially the same. They may also be modulated in their action by the specialized enzymes that can break them down (degrade them). It is this interaction with your endocannabinoid system that allows the cannabinoids in CBD oil to perform their magic. It turns out that omega 3 plays a very critical role in maintaining proper functioning of your endocannabinoid system. This cannot be overemphasized enough so pay very close attention to this message: if you do not get enough omega 3 in your diet or through supplementation, you will not receive as great a benefit from taking CBD oil! Here are just a few of the ways omega 3 helps maintain your endocannabinoid system: (1) Keeps the receptors healthy and functioning properly. (2) Helps you grow more receptors when you need them. (3) Helps repair receptors. (4) Helps synthesize cannabinoids within the body. You need this even if you are supplementing with CBD oil! (5) Helps keep your omega 6 to omega 3 ratio low. You need this to maintain healthy membranes that can support the receptors. (6) Helps create one type of cannabinoid out of another type as needed. (7) Helps create the enzymes needed to produce or degrade cannabinoids as needed to regulate the whole system. So, in summary, if you don’t think you are getting enough omega 3 in your diet, you may need to supplement with, for example, a high quality fish oil.
