How Much CBD to Take? Learn About Best Dosage.

If you’re beginning to use CBD or considering incorporating it into your daily regimen, determining the right dosage can be challenging due to individual differences.

EVERYBODY (AND EVERY BODY) IS DIFFERENT

The metabolism of CBD is influenced by various factors, with the method of intake (ingestion, inhalation, or topical application) and dosage being the most critical. Additionally, metabolism can be impacted by age, genetic makeup, existing health conditions, and simultaneous use of other medications.

Hence, it’s advisable to seek guidance from your physician or a qualified health professional before adding CBD to your regimen.

START LOW AND GO SLOW.

Indeed, there is no universal dosage of CBD that suits everyone. However, there are reliable principles to follow as you determine your optimal dosage. The key is to begin with a small quantity of CBD and gradually increase your intake.

It may be beneficial for some individuals to use a combination of products to achieve their desired dosage. For instance, you could complement softgels with oil drops or gummies, depending on what works best for you.

 STARTING WITH OIL DROPS?

Oil drops are a great way to start exploring CBD, because the dropper makes it easy to measure exact amounts. We recommend you:

  • Start low, with a dropper measured to(.25 mL) three times a day. If you’re using the extra strength oil drops, start with ¼ dropper twice a day, for a daily total of 25 mg.
  • Go slow, gradually increasing until it feels right for you.
BE CONSISTENT.

To minimize variables, it’s advisable to take your CBD at the same time daily. Many individuals find the evening, a time typically associated with relaxation, to be ideal for starting.

KEEP A JOURNAL.

Monitoring your condition 3–5 hours after consuming CBD can assist in determining the optimal dosage and timing for your needs. 

GIVE IT TIME. 

Determining your ideal intake might take several weeks, but that’s perfectly fine: Achieving optimal holistic health is a long-term journey, not a quick race.
