The Best CBD Products for Beginners
This Beginner's Guide is brought to you by The Plant Lore
You’ve heard all the buzz, you’ve listened to a girlfriend, you’ve done your research, you’re open to a new alternative besides OTC (over the counter), your loved ones are not getting the relief they need and you’re looking for something more “natural”. Now you’re ready but the market has many credible (and not so credible) brands flooding the market so where do you start?
If you’ve read our article, “CBD is everywhere, is it getting out of control?” you’ll know to look for several things when vetting a new product, especially one that goes in and on your body. Despite this being a thousand-year-old plant ingredient used medicinally dating back as early as 8000 BC, we’re entering a new era of reversing decades long stigmas from ‘this is your brain on drugs’ to CBD in pillows claiming to help you sleep better (FYI, the jury is out on this product). It’s all very exciting and hallelujah that this is finally coming full circle on re-entering the market, but when it comes down to it, here's our simple advice... look for the basics.
To not overwhelm you, we narrowed it down to 3 simple rules of thumb:
- READ THE LABEL – If you are a newbie to CBD, you may want to start out “low and slow”. This means, low on the CBD dosage and not purchasing a 5000MG CBD bottle out of the gate. Another helpful tip: make sure you’re looking at the total MG of CBD in a bottle versus, a single serving. Although the industry has done a good job of self-regulating packaging, some companies only list the per serving size which leaves you figuring out how much CBD you're really buying.
- TRUST AND KNOW YOUR SOURCE – CBD is still unregulated by the FDA so it’s important to not only know what you’re buying but where you’re buying your CBD from. Gut check, CBD at a gas station – NO, trusted sources like Svn Space or retailers that have done their due diligence and the vetting for you – YES.
- NO TWO PRODUCTS ARE ALIKE – If you see two different CBD products, both offering 300MG of CBD, but one is advertised for $19.99 and another is advertised for $59.99, stop there and dig further. Where is the CBD coming from (USA or elsewhere), what other ingredients are included, is it full spectrum, broad spectrum or isolate, is it organic, how readily available are COA’s (Certificate of Analysis) and other information on their website such as who's behind the brand/what's their story? All we’re saying here – price point isn’t everything and you're not getting a "deal" when it comes to your health, beauty and wellness. It is an investment.
At Svn Space, we’ve implemented a Svn Space Verified program. Simply put, we vet products on your behalf with specific criteria that would parallel industry standards from closely looking at quality and ingredients to 3rd party testing through a COA (Certificate of Analysis). We’ve also tried hundreds of CBD products, listen to countless testimonials while getting to know each and every brand we place on our website. A feat we do not take likely.
So, we've narrowed it down to some of our favorite products for specific needs and ailments. These products are coming from our OWN experiences with the caveat that no two products or experiences are alike.

3 things to remember no matter what product you end up with:
- BE CONSISTENT – 3-5 days in a row, at the same dose, and even the time of day. Follow the manufacturer’s dosing guide. If you need a guide on dosing and how much to administer, here is a helpful video.
- CBD IS PERSON SPECIFIC – what you may experience may be different than what your friend or loved one experiences. There are also contributing factors such as age, weight, environment, etc. that play a part in your own experience.
- GO LOW, GO SLOW – find your sweet spot and if you notice nothing at 5MG – 10MG, go up from there. Why take more when you only needed less to feel better?
Lastly, take CBD with an open mind, it’s a plant for goodness sake! Think of CBD as adding spinach to your diet… but with some incredible superfood, healing and beautifying benefits!
