Why seniors consider CBD

  • Joint stiffness and arthritis discomfort
  • Sleep quality
  • Everyday anxiety and mood support
  • General mobility and recovery

Medication interactions

CBD is metabolized by the same liver enzymes (CYP450) that process many prescription drugs — including blood thinners, some anti-seizure medications, and certain heart medications. Always share your CBD use with your pharmacist and prescribing provider.

Starting doses

Older adults are often more sensitive to cannabinoids. Start with about half of a typical adult dose (roughly 5–10 mg of CBD) and increase slowly over one to two weeks.
