How Long Does CBD Stay in Your System? What Science Says

How Long Does CBD Stay in Your System? What Science Says

If you’re new to CBD, you might wonder:
How long does it stay in your system? Will it show up on tests? Here’s what science tells us.


⏳ Average Time CBD Stays in Your Body

CBD can stay in your system for 2 to 5 days on average — but this varies depending on:

  • Dose taken (higher dose = longer stay)

  • Form used (e.g. oil vs. capsules vs. vapes)

  • Metabolism & body fat

  • Frequency of use (occasional vs. daily)

Some studies show traces for up to a week, especially with regular use.


🩸 Will CBD Show Up on a Drug Test?

No — pure CBD should not show up on standard drug tests.

But here’s the catch: if your CBD product contains THC (even small amounts), it could trigger a positive test.

That’s why we only sell THC-free and lab-tested CBD at Improved Health LTD.


💡 Does CBD Build Up Over Time?

Yes. CBD is fat-soluble and can build up in your body with consistent use, which may increase benefits — and duration in your system.
