CBD Oil Dosage Explained

POST BY: HEMPOIL®
7 MINUTES READ

It’s a common question, yet it’s somehow difficult to answer. The fact that people use CBD for different kinds of disorders means that there’s not a uniform dosage that everyone should follow. Furthermore, factors like weight, sex, and age must also be considered, especially if you’re taking other medications too. Besides the various factors mentioned, each person has their own unique experience with CBD oil.

To find the ideal CBD Oil Dosage might require a bit of experimenting and tweaking.

With that in mind, the range of the most common CBD Oil Dosage that people take is somewhat consistent. The good news is that CBD is totally safe and almost risk-free! It only has very minimal side effects and no reported contraindications. There’s also not a single case of someone who has overdosed with CBD oil. In this article, we’re going to be looking at which CBD oil Dosage is the most common. If you’re not really sure what to do with the new CBD oil bottle that you purchased, then we’re here to help.

Generally, you should start small with your CBD oil dosage and you can slowly move up from there.

Most of the frequent users of the CBD may find that a dose from 10 to 20 mg taken 1-2 times daily should be enough to provide you with an efficient effect of Cannabidiol. Yet a lot of people out there take a different direction and take CBD in as little as 1 to 3 mg per day. Most of the patients simply take one dose in the morning and another dose 12 hours later.

In any way, you may want to start with a small CBD Oil Dosage. Although we’re certainly not going to provide any type of recommendations and personal suggestions, many people who take the CBD for depression or anxiety treatment tend to start with a simple and initial dose of only 1 mg. If you’re using CBD to treat chronic or acute pain, a dose of 5 mg may be enough to get you started. This should be an appropriate dosage that will allow you to gauge systemically where you should go from there. If, for instance, you’re taking 5 mg of CBD oil in the morning and yet you notice little to no effects, you can increase the dosage to around 8 to 10 mg in the afternoon or evening and see where this will take you.

Our advice is to start out with a relatively small dosage of CBD oil. Find out how you personally react to the Cannabidiol, from here you can gradually build up the dose. Some studies use a low CBD Oil dosage of 2 to 3mg per day with a maximum of 10mg.


DOSAGE FOR CBD OIL

You must also keep an eye on how long the effects of the CBD will actually last. Some people find that taking a single dose daily might be more than enough to provide them with relief. Thus, they no longer need to take another dose in the evening or afternoon. I’d advise using the least amount of CBD oil possible. This will not only save you money but it will also eliminate the need for a slight possibility of working up a tolerance for the compound. Although the CBD is generally regarded as less prone to tolerance compared to THC. When using CBD oil for pain, many patients look for a “sweet spot” somewhere between 10 to 20 mg, taken 1-2 times a day or perhaps, up to three times a day when the pain is extremely severe. When it comes to using CBD oil for treating depression, anxiety, or other psychological disorders, smaller doses are required, typically less than 2 mg each.

With that said, a lot of people have taken several doses of CBD oil in excess of the 30 mg dose per day and yet they didn’t notice any adverse side effects. As mentioned, it’s merely a matter of listening to what your body needs and exercising due diligence. First, you have to determine how your body reacts to the CBD product. From here you can implement a systematic dosing pattern. By doing so you will be able to determine what the best CBD Oil dosage is that will work for you personally. Pretty much everybody has their own personal CBD oil dosage protocol. Note: The general rule of thumb is that CBD Oil stays in your system for approximately 7 days.

HOW TO TAKE CBD OIL?

First of all, you need to know how to take the oil. Most of the users prefer to administer it by placing it under the tongue using a dropper or a spray. This is an effective method because CBD is usually most versatile and efficient when it’s directly absorbed into the bloodstream. You have probably heard some people discussing certain CBD types being more potent. For example, CBD vape versus CBD oil tinctures. What a lot of people don’t realize is that these two products are taken in a different way. It’s also important to understand that the CBD oil tinctures, as well as the CBD vape liquids, are totally different things. If you are vaping the CBD, you need to ensure that you’re actually using the kind of product that has been produced mainly for inhalation.

On the other hand, sublingual CBD tinctures are produced in a different way and may contain certain compounds that are not supposed to be inhaled. If you prefer to place the CBD tincture below your tongue, they will be directly absorbed into the blood through a tissue. The digestive route will be entirely bypassed, which is contrary to what many think when it comes to oral ingestion. We will mostly talk about CBD dosing through sublingual drops. As mentioned, this method is the most commonly used method for those who are familiar with CBD oil. Either way, when we talk about the best cbd oil dosage we’re referring to milligrams.

So whether you’re vaping or placing drops below your tongue, or maybe you’re taking CBD capsules, smoking cannabis that’s CBD-dominant, or consuming CBD edibles, you must always keep track of how much of the CBD you are ingesting at any time. Most people aren’t even aware of the CBD oil dosage they take. They might be taking a lot more than expected. Oh and in case you didn’t know, some people even give CBD to their dogs.

HOW MUCH CBD IS IN A SINGLE DROP?

Most of the CBD oil tinctures are available in dropper bottles. Regardless of the brand of the CBD oil that you will end up using, the label must tell you how many per mg are in every drop. The same also applies to spray bottles. The label must say what the dose is in mg for every single shot below your tongue, which is equivalent to one spray. However, CBD oil is also available in various concentrations and sizes. You can have a 10ml bottle that has 500 mg of CBD in it, for instance, and you can also have a 10 ml bottle of CBD, which only contains 300 mg of CBD.

As a general reference, one drop of the CBD is roughly equivalent to 0.05 ml. So, if you’re going to use a 15ml with 100 mg of CBD as an example, taking 20 mg of the oil will provide you with a 7 mg dose of the CBD oil. However, if you’re using a highly concentrated CBD product, 20 drops will be equivalent to 1 ml and this is already equivalent to a 50 mg dose of the CBD. When administering the drops below your tongue, you need to hold them there for 60 to 90 seconds. This is in order to allow for full absorption of the oil before you swallow. It will be indicated on the product for how long you should hold the oil in your tongue.

CBD OIL DOSAGE INFORMATION

Since the methods mentioned above have only been semi-accurate, you will probably end up with this question – Is there a 100% accurate way of taking the CBD? Yes, definitely and it’s the CBD capsules. Since CBD capsules contain an exact amount of the CBD, they offer a truly accurate dose of the CBD. If your optimal dosage is 16 mg to 25 mg, simply purchase a bottle of 20 mg or 25 mg CBD capsules and you should be good to go. What’s more, taking CBD capsules is so much easier than other means of taking the product. Especially if you can’t stand the taste of the oil. Other methods of consumption that are as accurate are the CBD edibles, CBD applicators, CBD beverages, and CBD gummies, although these products may not be as convenient as the capsules.
