Benefits of CBD Oil in Coffee
CBD Coffee Oil
One of the greatest developments in the alternative health scene in the past decade has been the advent of CBD. This natural supplement has found use among many people to manage symptoms of pain, anxiety, and depression. Companies are always looking for new CBD products to make. CBD coffee oil is a great product you can add to your daily coffee to get therapeutic effects.
Many don’t realize it, but mixing CBD oil with your morning cup of coffee is a great way to counteract the jitters and heart palpitations that caffeine can cause. CBD oil can also reduce the anxiety-inducing effects of coffee and curb your appetite, so you don’t drink too much.
Moreover, you can use CBD oil to add some flavor to your coffee. Flavors such as peppermint, lemon, orange, and vanilla blend well with the taste of coffee. You can also use unflavored CBD oil if you want to keep the original taste of coffee.
Today, the team here at SUPA Naturals talks about the benefits of CBD oil in coffee. We will talk about how coffee oils utilize the properties of CBD and what health benefits you can expect from mixing CBD oils with your morning coffee.
Coffee Is Popular
Coffee is probably the single most popular beverage on the planet, right after water and Coca-Cola. People drink an estimated 2.2 billion cups of coffee every day, and caffeine is the most common stimulant that humans use.
Coffee is great for many people because it makes them alert and focused. A morning cup of coffee can shrug off that tired brain fog after waking up and get you ready to go for your day. People also drink coffee so they can work longer hours without feeling tired. Others drink coffee simply because they like the slightly bitter taste and pungent aroma.
But Coffee Has Some Nasty Side Effects
Of course, every stimulant has side effects, some more serious than others. While typically safe, caffeine (and coffee more generally) can have some worrying side effects, such as:
- Insomnia
- Headaches
- Restlessness
- Rapid heart rate
- Anxiety
- Dehydration
- Upset stomach
- Indigestion
Excessive coffee intake can also stain your teeth and cause stomach problems. For many, too much coffee eventually hinders productivity rather than helping it. That is why many people are looking for ways to balance coffee consumption to eliminate the bad side effects.
Benefits of Mixing CBD Oil With Your Coffee
CBD oil and coffee make an excellent pairing because they can heighten each other’s positive effects and staunch the negative ones. A few drops of CBD in your morning cup of coffee can supercharge you for a day of productivity. Below are some of the most common benefits of mixing CBD oil with your morning cup of coffee.
Reduce Anxiety
One of the most common uses of CBD oils is treating anxiety symptoms. CBD acts on various pathways in the endocannabinoid system to exert its anxiolytic effects. Specifically, CBD stimulates GABA inhibition in the brain and suppresses hypothalamic function to reduce stress. CBD also works in the peripheral nervous system to relax muscles.
Coffee is great, but high levels of caffeine can cause racing thoughts and worsening anxiety. Adding a few drops of CBD oil to your morning coffee can counteract the anxiety-inducing effects of caffeine and help you focus on your day.
Boost Concentration
Caffeine on its own stimulates mental activity by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain, preventing the production of the neurotransmitters that make you feel tired. CBD oil can also boost concentration by interacting with similar neural pathways.
For example, studies indicate that CBD modulates adenosine receptor activity to further enhance mental clarity. Additionally, there is some evidence that CBD can play a role in producing serotonin, a chemical responsible for feelings of elation and motivation.
In other words, CBD works in tandem with caffeine to enhance its focus-boosting effects. Since it works through multiple neural pathways, mixing CBD oil with your coffee boosts your concentration longer.
Reduce Indigestion
The high levels of caffeine can cause muscles in your intestines to tense up, which can lead to symptoms of indigestion and stomach pains. Coffee is also somewhat acidic, which can trigger heartburn or symptoms of acid reflux.
Adding CBD to your coffee can relax your stomach muscles, reducing the risk of indigestion and bloating. Many people take CBD to settle their stomachs, and it can counteract the adverse effects of caffeine. In the most extreme cases, CBD can also reduce feelings of nausea and vomiting.
Lengthen Caffeine Effects
Last but not least, CBD can make the benefits of caffeine and the heightened mental focus it brings last longer. The reason? Your liver, which works to break down chemicals in your bloodstream, such as caffeine.
The liver processes caffeine and CBD similarly by producing special enzymes. The liver can only process a certain amount of materials at a time, so mixing caffeine and CBD means your liver takes longer to neutralize both. The result is that the effects of caffeine last longer because it takes longer for your liver to metabolize it.
How to Make CBD Oil Coffee
It is very easy to make an awesome cup of CBD oil coffee. First, brew your coffee as usual, adding any milk or sugar you want. Next, take your favorite CBD oil and add some to the top. You only have to use a few drops of CBD oil to get the positive effects. Make sure to let your coffee cup cool down slightly before adding the oil, as excessive heat can break down CBD molecules.
Once you’ve added the oil, wait a minute or two before you start drinking. You will still see concentrations of oil in the coffee because CBD oils are miscible, meaning they won’t fully mix with another liquid.

CBD Oil Coffee FAQ
How much CBD oil should I use?
The FDA does not regulate CBD oil, so there is no standard recommended dose. However, we recommend starting with around 5 mg per 50 pounds of body weight. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should start with 15-20 mg per cup.
Ultimately, the “correct” dose will depend on your tolerance, BMI, genetics, and metabolism. If you are unsure how much to use, start with very small amounts and slowly add more as you get used to taking CBD oil.
How should I brew CBD oil coffee?
The method of brewing does not make much of a difference. You can make CBD coffee in a French press, coffee maker, or pour-over funnel. Many customers say their favorite way to brew CBD oil coffee is a cafetiere or French press.
Will hot water reduce CBD’s effectiveness?
It depends on how hot the water is. Temperatures from boiling water (>212-degrees F) can cause the chemicals in CBD oils (CBD, cannabinoids, terpenes) to break down and lose potency, so you should not put CBD oil in your coffee while brewing it.
Hot temperatures can also mess with the taste of your CBD oil. The typical cup of coffee is served at 160-degrees F, so you should wait until you fully brew the coffee to add your oils.
Will CBD coffee get me high?
CBD does not produce the intoxicating psychoactive effects that THC and marijuana produce, so it will not get you high. However, CBD does have physical effects, and you will feel it in your body. The most commonly reported sensation is a feeling of lightness or relaxation along with mental clarity.
Is CBD coffee safe to drink?
Yes, CBD oil coffee is safe to drink. Several studies indicate that CBD does not produce physical dependence or addiction. In fact, some research suggests that CBD may serve as an effective means of addiction intervention for traditional pain medicine. Moreover, CBD does not impair judgment or significantly reduce reaction times as THC does.
Like any substance, there is a risk of pharmacological interaction between CBD and other medications you take. So, if you are taking other medications, you should talk to your doctor first before adding CBD to your daily routine.
