The opioid crisis makes getting pain relief harder for those with chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia. Many sufferers find themselves scrambling to find alternative ways to treat their pain. One option that is causing quite the buzz within the fibromyalgia community is CBD oil. Many people with fibromyalgia have turned to CBD oil for pain, anxiety, sleep problems, and more.

What is CBD?
Cannabidiol or CBD is a non-intoxicating component of the cannabis plant. CBD can be extracted in oil form from either marijuana or hemp plants. Both hemp and marijuana are of the same Cannabis plant species. The main difference between the two plants is the amount of THC it contains. For cannabis to be legally considered hemp, it must contain no more than 0.3% of THC, essentially making it impossible to feel any psychoactive effect known as a “high”.
It is a popular misconception that CBD derived from marijuana is better than if it is derived from hemp. In reality, CBD from hemp is the same as CBD from marijuana. To use CBD oil derived from medical marijuana, it has to be legal in the state that you live in as well as for the condition you have. Hemp-derived CBD is far more accessible and can be bought from many different places.
In fact, the CBD market is exploding. There are so many different types and brands of CBD oil to choose from when you’re shopping for CBD online. If you google “buy CBD oil”, you’ll get 1,670,000 results. It’s pretty overwhelming figuring out which brand to trust.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Every Day Optimal asking if I would consider reviewing a few of their CBD products. Since I have been asked for recommendations of CBD products several times lately, I immediately said yes.
Every Day Optimal CBD
Every Day Optimal CBD is a US-based company that specializes in hemp-derived Cannabidiol oil products for pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, anxiety, relaxation, and more. The company goes to great lengths to ensure that their products are the best they possibly can be. They use the whole plant, also call full-spectrum, CBD to ensure superior therapeutic properties.
Every Day Optimal source their CBD oil from USA hemp farmers who use organic farming practices. The growing environment is important because the cannabis plant easily absorbs contaminants and heavy metals from the soil. If there are contaminants in the soil there are contaminants in the end product.
Every Day Optimal’s pure, authentic CBD products are free and clear of any heavy metals, pesticides, and contaminants. On top of that, their clean extraction process ensures the highest quality of CBD oil possible.
Benefits & Side Effects of CBD Oil
First, we’ll take a look at the benefits of CBD and then I will tell what type of symptom relief I experienced. Scientific research has proven CBD has many benefits including fighting cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease to preventing seizures.
For the scope of this article, we will focus on the benefits of CBD oil for fibromyalgia:
- Relieves pain
- Lowers inflammation
- Reduces anxiety
- Relieves depression
- Promotes good sleep
- Boosts immune system
- Relieves nausea
- Aids digestion
CBD oil to be safe for most people to use, and there are few, if any, serious side effects. The vast majority of people can use CBD oil without ever feeling any unpleasant side effects at all. The remaining few will likely experience only minor symptoms like stomach upset, dry mouth, or headache. Some researchers believe that headaches or other minor adverse reactions could be due to impurities in inferior CBD products.
My Review
I received two products from Every Day Optimal CBD, 1000mg CBD tincture and 25mg CBD capsules.
Every Day Optimal CBD Tincture
Every Day Optimal CBD Tinctures come in a variety of strengths ranging from 300mg to 4000mg. The CBD tincture I have been taking is 1000mg. It is recommended to take 1/2 a dropper full of the oil 1 to 2 times a day. You are supposed to place 1/2 dropper full under your tongue and hold it there for as long as you can before swallowing.
Tinctures are the most effective way to take herbal supplements. The arteries under the tongue absorb the tincture into the bloodstream very quickly and efficiently. Which means you will feel the results faster.
Every Day Optimal 1000mg CBD Tincture is an advanced formula that contains a high concentration of CBD hemp oil, along with many other cannabinoids and naturally occurring antioxidants. The ingredients include organic hemp oil, grape seed oil, full-spectrum CBD, fractionated MTC oil (liquid coconut oil), and peppermint flavor.
The CBD tincture has an oily feel in the mouth with a slight taste of peppermint. The oily taste did not bother me at all. But if you don’t like it, the CBD tincture can be added to food or drinks.
I thought the CBD Tincture worked quickly for anxiety and improved my sleep. And you know that feeling when you feel an internal shakiness? I hate that feeling. Sometimes my hands shake, sometimes they don’t and I have a tendency to drop things when I feel that way. The CBD tincture worked very well for that, too.
So, if you are looking for a good CBD tincture, Every Day Optimal CBD is a good choice. With the variety of strengths to choose from you are likely to find one in your price range.
Every Day Optimal CBD Capsules
This is the first time I have taken CBD in capsule form and it was a game changer. It is true that tinctures start working very fast but now I have to wonder if the effects wear off faster, too.
I started taking Every Day Optimal CBD 25 mg capsules twice a day, morning and night. After a few days, I started noticing an overall calmness. I decided to keep track of the way I felt each day, mentally and physically. Each day seemed a little better but I waited until I was taking the CBD capsules a full month to compare the results.
The most amazing thing I realized is nothing stressed me out. Nothing. Not even finding out that my car would cost more to fix than it was worth. Usually, something like this would cause me a great deal of stress. It would always be in the back of my mind making my whole body feel tense and anxious. It would also trigger depression.
None of this happened. Not even for a second. I feel calm and focused. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No feeling shaky or anxious. No racing thoughts. Pain levels have dropped. I am also sleeping better.
I am so pleased with the results. Every Day Optimal CBD capsules have been added to my most important supplement list. I believe the CBD in capsule form helps keep a stable level of cannabinoids in my system. That’s how it seems to me anyway.
If you’re looking for a high-quality CBD oil from a trusted source, I recommend Every Day Optimal CBD.

I love Everyday Optimal CBD, I’m using it for my knee pain and my condition is just better and better
Hi, Silvia. I am so glad to hear that Every Day Optimal helps you too.
I am going to take a stab at this CBD oil. I did take another brand, as you said, there are so many options. The cost was very high and I did not see the improvements I wanted to see. I cannot digest pills easily, so tincture would be my best option. Thank you for the review! ~Kim
Your welcome, Kim. Let me know how Every Day Optimal works for you.
I use betablocker, is it safe to use cbd oil?
Hi, Aydin. Here is a link to find CBD Drug Interactions. But you should also check with your doctor or pharmacist.
is this a legal product
Hi, Lynn. Every Day Optimal CBD is made from the hemp plant and is legal in all 50 states. CBD oil derived from the marijuana plant is only legal in states that allow it.

Hi Sue
I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I also use Everyday Optimal CBD Oil. I use the tintures twice a day and I use the capsules twice a day. I also cew some of the cbd gum occasionally. First I felt a sense of calm and then it started releiving most of my pain. It helped with depression to. I just ordered the fibromyalgia formula and I can’t wait to try it!! Gosh I wish I would have tried this stuff a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of bad side effects from traditional medicines. If you are on the fence about this stuff please try it. And this is a fantastic company to order it from. They also have prompt shipping and great customer service!!
