Recently I decided to try out CBD oil from BeYou. I had been hearing so many positive things about the use of CBD oil for numerous health reasons but I had never decided to invest real money into it. Several years ago I purchased a cheaper option from a local health food shop but found that the taste of it was so bad that I could not keep up with it (I ended up adding it to smoothies as a way of using it up so as not to be wasteful). The strength of that previous purchase was also very low and, as far as I understand, unlikely to give me any real benefits unless I took it regularly and for the long term – which I didn’t.

About BeYou CBD Oil
BeYou is a UK business who offers a number of different CBD strengths. You can buy them with a pipette dropper or spray depending on what is easiest for you. The company are great for letting you know how much you should use achieve the average daily dosage they advise (70mg). I chose the top strength of 4800mg mealing I only need 0.4ml per day. One important thing to mention is that the CBD oil from BeYou is completely legal in the UK. It is not the same as any controlled substances. BeYou also invites customers to check the authenticity of the product they receive by entering in the batch code on a special page of their website to ensure full transparency when purchasing from them.
Why I’m Trying CBD Oil
I have a few personal reasons of why I decided to give CBD oil a try. I am not an expert on any of the current research that is out there so all of these things I am about to say are based on things I’ve heard from others or read online over time.
Firstly, I have suffered with anxiety for most of my life and many people have told me that CBD might be able to help. The nature of my anxiety also means I tend not to feel very rested after a night’s sleep – CBD has also been mentioned when sleep issues are brought up. Finally, since the pandemic, I have also experienced increasing levels of PMS and menstrual cramps so I was generally hoping for some relief with these issues. CBD and pain relief has always been something I have heard while reading up on its benefits.
My Experiences
I decided to purchase the lemon flavour (BeYou offer lemon, berry or natural flavour) and I’m really glad I did. I find it far more tolerable compared with the other brand I tried in the past. I used it before bed and decided to use the pipette as opposed to the spray – I found that, as the product is an oil, the sprayer did not work very well and some would run down the side of the bottle. This wasn’t a huge issue but for convenience, the pipette was easier for me.
After using the oil for around a week, I noticed that I was definitely experiencing far more vivid dreams compared to normal. My partner also said he noticed the same thing (he used a few doses too just to try it out). On the whole though, my sleep definitely seemed more restful. I also noticed I tended to experience fewer stress/tiredness related headaches compared to average.
I continued to use the oil until it was all gone, which was around 1 month. Towards the end of this time, I had my period and noticed a few differences here too. For example, my cramps seemed less intense and lasted for a shorter amount of time (1-2 full days down to around half a day, during this time, I also used BeYou’s patches to help me out alongside usual painkilling medication). I also noticed that my flow was overall lighter and my period was around 1 day shorter compared to normal. Of course, all of these things I have mentioned could be a placebo effect but, in a situation where the only thing that changed was the introduction of the oil, I’m inclined to say that it at least played a part in my experience.
Unfortunately, I did not notice any real change to my levels of stress and anxiety but I am grateful for the positive changes I did notice.
Would I Repurchase? Final Thoughts?
I would repurchase in the future as I found it really easy to use and the benefits I experienced definitely piqued my interest in what might happen if I were to use it long term. I also felt really confident in the product due to being able to check the batch on the BeYou website – this is not something I have personally seen before.
