CBD For Concentration: How CBD Can Help You Focus

Posted: November 11, 2022 | Author: Dan Currey

If you find yourself easily distracted or would like to stay attentive for longer, then using CBD products for focus could be the answer for you.

Many of the causes of lack of focus come from other areas of our lives that distract us. CBD works with our bodies in a natural way to regulate and improve things like;

  • cognitive function
  • sleep patterns
  • mood
  • stress levels

CBD's ability to balance our body's systems to create homeostasis can have a profound impact on things like sleep, stress, mood and memory, all factors in being able to concentrate and focus on our studies or work.

In this guide we will explore how CBD can be a perfect, natural supplement for improving focus and concentration and how you can easily integrate CBD into your unique routine.


How does CBD work?


CBD is something of a wonder compound. It is used worldwide to help with many different ailments, pain conditions, stress disorders, sleep disorders and many other conditions and symptoms that you can experience in everyday life.

For more information on other areas of your life where CBD could benefit you, check out the guides on our blog, including CBD for nausea relief and how CBD may help with acne.


What does CBD do in the body?


CBD is a cannabinoid extracted from cannabis plants that interacts with our endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is found throughout the body in our central and peripheral nervous systems, in our brains and pretty much everywhere else.

The endocannabinoid system helps to regulate things like:

  • immune system and inflammatory responses
  • learning and memory
  • sleep
  • emotional processing
  • temperature control
  • pain management
  • appetite

 

When CBD oils or other CBD products are ingested they interact with receptors in our brains called CB1 and CB2. Research suggests that it is this interaction that triggers our endocannabinoid system to create balance or homeostasis within our bodies and improves our cognitive health and cognitive functions.

It is this balance within the endocannabinoid system that helps to create positive effects like decrease stress, aid improved sleep as well reducing anxiety, pain reduction and help us to better focus and increase attention span. We have an in-depth guide on the endocannabinoid system if you are keen to learn more.


Is CBD legal in the UK?


One thing we are commonly asked is "Is CBD oil legal?" The answer here is yes, CBD oil and other CBD products are legal here in the UK. CBD use is extremely popular and pure CBD (often known as isolate), as well as full spectrum CBD and broad spectrum CBD oil are widely available.

CBD can be extracted from both hemp plants and cannabis plants but must contain less than 0.2% THC to get its legal status. This is the amount of THC deemed safe for consumption and to not cause psychoactive effects. THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis plants responsible for creating the high or stoned feeling that cannabis users seek.

The best CBD oil (or any other type of CBD product) for you is the one that works the best for your needs. To establish this. you should consult with your GP and if you take it, you can slowly increase your dosage (without going over the manufacturer's stated maximum) until you see results.


How does CBD help focus and concentration?


CBD is responsible for influencing factors that can make it harder to concentrate because it helps promote general well-being and balance in the mind. It affects many processes like your mood, memory, appetite and sleep patterns. These are all things that can impede your ability to concentrate. CBD helps to support the regular function of the body and in turn can help with improved focus and as a result, has a positive effect on poor concentration.

It is important to address underlying factors that cause things like inadequate sleep/sleep deprivation and poor focus as well as things like high stress levels and chronic or acute pain. Taking a natural compound like CBD is a healthy alternative to prescription medications and other over the counter pills and supplements commonly used for anxiety relief, sleep disorders as well as pain conditions and inflammation problems.

CBD itself has no psychoactive effects and is generally well tolerated. Many users report things like:

  • Improved physical and mental health - including better mental clarity
  • Aiding quality sleep - helping falling asleep easier and enabling you to get enough sleep
  • Improving focus and concentration - reduction in stress, irritability, pain and other factors that make it difficult to concentrate
  • Substantial pain relief and injury recovery - CBD can reduce symptoms of pain for chronic and acute sufferers and aid recovery from injury
  • Lower stress levels - by helping to maintain and balance moods

Taking CBD is easy and can be incorporated into your daily routine with no need for lifestyle adjustment. Your dosage can be tailored to your needs so that you needn't take too little or too much and it comes in many different forms. Simply find a type of CBD that matches your requirements.

The best CBD products for concentration


The best CBD products for concentration are the ones which best match your individual needs. When you pick a CBD product that fits easily into your daily routine and fulfils your strength needs, then you're on the right track.

There are many different types of CBD product in different flavours, strengths and sizes. If you are already taking other medication, make sure you check with a medical professional or seek doctor's advice about taking CBD for focus.


CBD oils and edibles


CBD oil comes in many different sized bottles and is more often than not measured by percentage of purity and mg/ml - that's milligrams per millilitre. The more mg per ml and higher percentage concentration, the stronger the product.

Edibles come with a mg per piece or pack. Be sure to always check the packaging to be sure of what your dosage is. Both oils and edibles are great to help with concentration as they are easy to keep with you on the go and are fast acting. They also come in a range of flavours so you're certain to find a product you enjoy, whilst also being able to get a good variety if you incorporate CBD into your regular routine.

The best thing to keep in mind when shopping for CBD for focus and concentration is to get a high quality product and use it when you need it most, be it with your morning breakfast routine, when your concentration starts to dip, or anytime you feel you could use a boost.


What is the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate?


The difference here lies in the content of different cannabinoids found within the product. In summary:

  • Full Spectrum - These products contain the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Although these contain THC it must be less than 0.2%. This is the amount deemed safe for consumption and to cause no psychoactive effects.
  • Broad Spectrum - These products contain most cannabinoids except for THC. Perfect for those looking for an organically complete product without any THC.
  • Isolate - This is pure CBD extracted to a pure crystalline state. Ideal for people who are concerned about the presence of THC and other cannabinoids.
