A common question asked by many starting to take CBD – “what’s the right CBD oil dosage?” The truth is, there isn’t a number to it. People take CBD for all kinds of reasons. Different needs lead to different serving sizes.

CBD Oil Dosage: How Much Is Recommended Per Day?

This is a very common question that everyone asks at some point as they embark on their CBD journey, yet it is very difficult to answer. Because people use CBD for different reasons, there is not a uniform dosage that everyone should follow. There are quite a few factors that must be considered when dosing your CBD. In this article, we’re going to be looking at these factors to help you properly use your CBD oil.

Finding the ideal CBD Oil dosage might require a bit of experimenting. If you have decided to go with the oil as your go-to product, it’s advised that you start small to give your body time to get used to the compound. Find the lowest concentration you can find and start with that, and monitor your body’s response over the course of a few weeks and you can begin thinking about the next steps.

Finding The Best CBD Oil Dosage

Although multiple variables might affect the serving size, we’re going to focus on the four most common and obvious to help you get started. These factors include weight, concentration, metabolism and genetics, and product quality.

1. The Individual’s Weight

A person’s weight plays an important role when dosing CBD oil. Generally speaking, heavier people need higher doses to experience the effects of CBD, whereas lighter people may feel the same results with a lower dose. Since there isn’t a fixed number on weight-dosage, heavier people will still have to start low and increase as needed.

2. The Concentration of the Dose

Concentration also referred to as strength, is the total amount of CBD in a given bottle. Concentration is measured in milligrams (mg). Dosage, on the other hand, indicates the amount of CBD per serving. Let’s say a bottle of CBD oil has a concentration of 1000mg and contains 30 milliliters of oil, with 1ml as the standard serving size. This means each 1ml serving will contain approximately 33mg of CBD.                                             

Understanding concentration is another important factor. If you have a 1500mg CBD oil bottle, a couple of drops are sure to do the job relatively quickly. However, if you are just starting out with the 100mg, you might not feel the effects after a couple of drops; you might need to consume more. There is no shame in starting out small; it’s safe.                                                                          

3. Chemistry of the Body With CBD

Everyone is different. The time it takes for someone’s body to absorb the compound is not going to be constant with all humans. Our metabolisms process food and CBD at different rates. It might take 30 to 45 minutes for someone with a fast metabolism to feel the effect, but it might take you 10 to 20 minutes for the effects to kick in. The only way to find out at what end of the spectrum you belong to is to experiment. Don’t settle for just the oils; there’s a whole world of products out there. Try different CBD products to find out which one works best for you.

4. The Quality of CBD Oil

In case you don’t know, not all CBD oil is formulated equally. There is a difference between high-quality CBD oil and random gas station CBD oil. A lot goes into making the highest quality CBD oil. From extraction to ingredients, creating this extract is no easy task.

With that being said, the quality of the oil is just as important when dosing CBD. A lot of sub-par companies offer low-quality products and claim that they have CBD in them when, in fact, they don’t. If you unknowingly buy one of these knockoffs and wonder why you’re not feeling anything even when you consume a lot, there’s a good chance you’re not consuming CBD but something else entirely. One easy way to stay away from sketchy products is to read the label thoroughly.                                  

Dosage is Subjective

Figuring out exactly how much CBD oil to consume can be intimidating. The number of websites and brands out there can confuse consumers even more. Vendors use different source materials and different extraction techniques. Adding to the confusion, many vendors recommend what they think is the right dosage. With so many voices in your head, knowing who to trust is not always readily apparent.

If you are new to the game, don’t shy away from doing research. Research the brand you’re using, look for customer reviews and ask questions. Last but not least, and to answer your question directly, there isn’t a fixed number on how much is recommended per day- Your body, your number.
