CBD DOSAGE

Overview

CBD is simple to take. You a take CBD at any time of day, with or without food…In addition, there are no known side effects or drug interactions. What you will find on this page is meant to be a guideline or a starting point of reference. The fact remains that everyone is in a different place and will react differently to their CBD dosage. The serving size or dosage of CBD differs for each person.  For best results CBD is recommended to be taken 2-3 times per day.  Doses are suggested 4-6 hours apart.

It is best to start small and gradually increase until you experience the desired result.

CBD-rich hemp oil comes in various concentrations and forms, including liquid hemp oil, hemp oil as a thick paste, oil in capsules, sublingual tincture drops or sprays, salves for topical use, edibles as in candy or gum, and CBD vapor from vaporizers similar to e-cigarettes.

CBD is most commonly taken orally in a concentrated paste or drops/ tincture format. To take CBD oil, hold it under the tongue for about 30-60 seconds to be absorbed in the mouth prior to swallowing. We administer oral CBD this way because the digestive system partially breaks down some of the CBD during ingestion. Other oral methods include capsules, mouth strips, and edibles such as candy or chocolate bars. When taking an edible CBD allow 20-60 minutes for your body to digest the CBD before full effects are felt. Many people also enjoy using CBD oil via vaporizers or inhalers as this is a near - instant delivery method that can be very effective. Others use CBD oil by taking it through the skin via lotions, balms, creams, or patches. There are many ways to take CBD oil. What matters most is trying different approaches and seeing what works for you.

Everyone Is Different

The outline below is a guideline only and is not to be taken as a recommendation. Each person must find their own best dosing method and dosing amount. The best way to determine what quantity is best for you is to let your body tell you (and your physicians)!

The amount of CBD you choose also depends on what you are using CBD for. For example, if you are using CBD to help with mild ailments like stress or just a basic CBD regimen, then most people have reported great success with 25mg or less per day.

If you are seeking a more aggressive CBD therapy for relief from moderate to severe ailments, then 50mg – 100mg per day, or more, may produce the best results.

Cannabinoid dosages and duration of treatment depend on the person, age, as well as type, and advancement of the disease. Mayo Clinic suggests CBD dosages in scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion.

How much CBD should I Take?

A common question about CBDs is how much do I take?

How do I know the proper dose for me?

Those are good questions because everyone is different.  You will, after a little bit of time, be able to figure out what works personally for you.  Just start low and increase as you feel the benefits.

Most people, on average, depending on the reason you are using it, use between 10-40 mg a day.  With very acute situations, cancer, or extreme circumstances, we do go higher with the daily milligrams.  Our tinctures start as low as 100 mg up to as high as 2500 mg.

Your age, weight, diet, the severity of your health condition, and how fast you metabolize it will indicate how much CBD you need.

Start with a small dose and adjust accordingly to what you feel and how you feel towards desired expectations.

Weight is one of the easiest ways to start dosing. The smaller and lighter the person is, the less CBD they typically need. A person with a lower - grade condition will take less than someone with a higher, more intense condition.

The chart below starts with the conditions and symptoms, starting low grade and increasing to severe based on weight.

According to one of the nation’s top full-service testing labs for cannabis products, there is no established lethal CBD dosage. Consumers should read product inserts carefully to ensure they take the right amount of CBD and speak to the prescribing physician about any questions or concerns.
