How Long Does CBD Stay In Your Urine?

on

If there’s one health and wellness trend that seems to be here for good, it’s that of CBD oil. Cannabinoid oil is a remarkable new treatment proclaimed as the solution to a range of health issues, from skin conditions to mood disorders, repairing sleep patterns, and helping users lose weight.

Depending on their preference, users can experience the feeling of CBD in a wide variety of ways, including:

● Oil drops on or under the tongue

● In creams or lotions applied to the skin

● Edibles such as capsules or gummies

● Through the use of vapes

Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, mainly regarding the ease with which users can control their dosage, the speed with which the product is absorbed into the body, and the effectiveness of the final result.

CBD works by interacting with a system in the body known as the Endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in balancing several systems in the body. This includes temperature, immune response, appetite, pleasure, pain, sleep, mood, memory, and fertility. CBD interacts with the cannabinoid systems, offering several benefits to your overall health and wellbeing.

CBD And Drugs Tests

There are some situations where you may need to remove CBD from your system quickly, usually due to a drug test. While most drug tests screen for THC- tetrahydrocannabinol, the element which offers the “high” chased by many users, some CBD products will contain traces of THC. While these are so insignificant that they will not provide any hallucinogenic properties, they may appear on a drug test.

CBD products derived from drying cannabis rather than hemp may show up on a drug test. This is because marijuana is also responsible for producing THC, and so this compound can trigger a positive result in a drug test. On the other hand, hemp will produce a far lower trace of THC - usually only up to 0.3%, so CBD products derived from hemp are far less likely to flag up a positive drug test result.

When it comes to the length of time CBD stays in your system, a factor known as bioavailability may play a significant role. In short, this refers to the amount of substance that can be absorbed at once. This will depend mainly on the method you choose to consume your CBD.

Using any cannabidiol will allow it to pass through your lungs, stomach, or skin - the method you choose will depend on the amount of product you take. For example, using a gummy, capsule, or other edible will see you consume 4-10% of the CBD, and the rest will be lost through digestion. According to some research, bioavailability may impact the length of time the CBD stays in the body. Edibles will have low bioavailability but a longer duration and remain in the body for longer. On the other hand, oil will remain in the body for a shorter period and can be flushed more quickly.

How Can I Flush CBD From My Body?

There are several ways to remove CBD more quickly. The focus should primarily be on increasing your water intake to increase urination, as this will allow the substance to pass from your body in the fastest way. On average, you should aim to drink between two and three liters of water each day in the time leading up to your test, and at least one to two liters on the day you take your drug test. Diuretics can also help to increase the frequency of your urination, flushing your system more quickly.

Without trying to increase the speed with which CBD is flushed from your body, you can expect it to remain in your system for roughly around fifteen days. Although once again, this will largely depend on several factors, including your method of consumption, the dosage you took, and your diet and exercise regime.
