CBD Dosing: Figuring Out The Right Amount For You

CBD Dosing: Figuring Out The Right Amount For You

February 10, 2020 Vitalibis Team

Once you become comfortable with a couple things about CBD: 1) it won't get them high and 2) a little bit about how the Endocannabinoid System works, the next question is typically, "How much do I take?"

This is a very common question with many articles written across the internet. Many people falsely interpret that the higher the dose the better for the person. They read a lable that says "300mg CBD" and another that says "2000mg CBD" and believe that higher is better. This is not true.

CBD Dosing

The first thing to remember is that CBD is not a single product - it's a category of products. Click here to read more about this concept. Once you are comfortable with what CBD product you are taking, the dosages will vary depending on a variety of factors including:

- your body weight

- the condition you’re treating and the severith of the condition

- your individual body chemistry

- the concentration of CBD in each pill, capsule, drop, or gummy

There are a lot of variables that go into deciding how much CBD to take. Before trying CBD, be sure to talk to your doctor about an appropriate dosage and any potential risks. If your doctor tells you how much to use, stick to their recommendation. If your doctor doesn’t provide a recommendation, it’s best to start with a smaller dosage and gradually increase it. Continue this until you feel that it’s effectively treating your symptoms. And keep track of how much CBD you’re taking and whether your symptoms are getting better.

Based on customer feedback, it appears the people who realize the best results of those who take the oils consistently. Meaning, they take the oil a few times per day, every day. They hold the oli under their tongue for at least 30+ seconds for each dose. We recommend holding the oil under the tongue as long as you can for improved results. How much they take of the sublingual oil is based on some data gathered through feedback.
