CBD DOSAGE GUIDE

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of cannabinoid, one of many compounds found naturally in cannabis plants. There are many different vehicles for consuming CBD such as oils, tablets, capsules, gummies, chocolates, creams balms and more. Choosing how to take it might seem like the first step, but it might actually be more useful to determine how much you want to take first . . .

Everyone is different, this means that everyone’s preferred dosage might be slightly different too. This is why our CBD tinctures come with graduated pipettes, so that measuring out small increments and accurate dosages is easy. You may need to experiment slightly to find a dosage that works for you but here is some information for you to start with.

The amount of CBD you take could depend on a range of factors, including:

– your body weight

– your individual body chemistry

– the concentration of CBD

– the condition you are hoping to treat

– As with any new supplement, it’s best to start with a smaller dosage and gradually increase it. This could mean starting with 20 to 40 mg a day. After a week, if you feel you want more, increase this amount by 5 mg. Continue this until you feel you’ve reached a dosage you are happy with (up to a max of 1mg per KG or 70mg as per FSA Guidelines)

Here is a handy guide for you to calculate what would be a low/medium or high dose based on your body weight:

 

CBD dosage and benefits

The range of benefits you can expect from CBD vary greatly depending on how much you take, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the more CBD you take, the better the benefits will be. Each CBD use case is unique, and so is everyone’s biochemistry, and so the main thing to keep in mind is what we always tell our customers: start low, write down your experiences, and build up from there until you find out what works best for you. In general however, depending on your needs, you can expect to start at a lower/higher dosage, so let’s go through the most common uses for CBD and explain what a normal dosage would look like.

Summary:

  • Anxiety: Low- to medium dosage
  • Pain: Medium- to high dosage
  • Insomnia: High dosage
