The number of those interested in CBD has increased dramatically, especially in the last few months. Once you have decided on the appropriate products, almost everyone will be asked for the correct dose of CBD. How many drops do you need to ingest cannabinoid oil? What's in CBD? We are therefore trying to clarify in the following article the best way to proceed with the dosage of CBD products.
4 quick tips for correct dosage of CBD oil
There are many dosage suggestions for CBD on the internet, but they are sometimes very questionable. In general, it can be said that it is best to pay attention to empirical values and, if necessary, consult a doctor. To support our readers, we have put together the following 4 tips based on our experience:
Tip 1: start small!
We recommend beginners to start with a relatively small dose. This way, you can slowly work your way through something and not risk-taking "too much" when you need it. This applies to both the CBD content and the number of daily drops/capsules, etc.! It is believed that two to three drops of 10% CBD oil are used twice a day.
Tip 2: only increase the dose slowly!
To really judge whether the current dose of CBD is right for you, take the same amount over several days and then try a higher dose if necessary.
Tip 3: Take small steps!
As in tip 1, it's also important not to overuse. We, therefore, recommend that you exercise around small amounts when dosing cannabidiol products.
Tip 4: If you have problems, the doctor will help
If someone has problems or uncertainties in determining the optimal amount, the responsible doctor can handle the situation.
What is the Right Amount of CBD?
The CBD oil is very individual, as every organism reacts differently. Hence, it is difficult to make recommendations for dosage. For example, a few drops of 5 percent CBD oil could work on a person, while another ten drops would be required.
In another case, three drops of 2% oil could work. Therefore, it is often recommended to start with a 2 or 5 percent low-dose CBD oil and hold it for a few days. If there is no effect, the dose can be increased.
In addition, the manufacturers usually give a dosage recommendation, which is usually very low with undesirable side effects. This does not mean that everyone should automatically choose a higher dosage. As mentioned earlier, if you don't feel it after a few days, you should start with a low amount of dose and slowly increase the amount of dose.
Recommended dosage
There are various factors to consider while looking for the optimal dose of CBD. Some of the factors that will play an important role in your experience with CBD are Your health condition or problem. How intense is your problem? Metabolism How you react to CBD Bodyweight Sensitivity to cannabis Your personal body chemistry (including any other drugs you take)
Dosage recommendations from studies
Studies that only cover a cannabidiol dose suitable for the standard user are not yet available. The respective CBD doses in the remaining studies were very individual - cannabidiol was generally used in the available human studies for certain diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, or schizophrenia. The doses differ widely depending on the condition and severity.
Summarizing several studies, adults suffering from CBD take 100-800 mg of cannabidiol. Different doses ranging from 2 to 25 mg/kg body weight were used in children. Side effects were 25 mg/kg body weight - extremely high doses are unlikely to be required. A 30kg child would need to take 750 mg of cannabidiol daily - that's quite a lot, and lower doses have usually been found to be effective. Experience has shown that an overdose can hardly or not at all.
If you have anxiety disorders, concentrations below 50 mg are already effective, although the intensity of the symptoms is likely to play a role here.
Recommendations from the manufacturers of CBD oils
The manufacturer "Cannalabs" recommends taking 1 to 5 drops of hemp oil if necessary.
This dosage seems to be very low - on the one hand, and such small amounts could already be effective depending on the area of application. On the other hand, the manufacturers also want to protect themselves. The recommended intake is very low on all packaging of dietary supplements in order to protect them from undesirable side effects.
The Medihemp brand does not provide information on the recommended dosage.
Endoca, also a well-known manufacturer, mentions that most users take 3% of the oil three times a day. It is also recommended to take half a milliliter.
Micro, standard, or maxi dose?
Microdose
0.5 mg to 20 mg of CBD per dose per day (CBD / dose / day). A microdose may be recommended for sleep, headaches, mood disorders, nausea, PTSD, stress and metabolic disorders, and daily supplements.
5% CBD oil is suitable for microdosing. 1 drop of the 5% oil contains 1.67 mg of CBD. You can take 3 drops three times a day, which makes 15 mg of CBD. Of course, you can always alter the dosage to suit your tolerance.
Standard dose
10 mg to 100 mg CBD / dose / day. The standard dose can be recommended for pain, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, Lyme disease, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, autism, IBS, arthritis, and weight loss.
For a standard dose, 15% or 20% CBD oil is recommended. 1 drop of the 15% CBD oil contains 5 mg of CBD, and 1 drop of the 20% oil contains 6.7 mg of CBD.
Macro dose
The macro dose is in the high range between 50 mg and 800 mg CBD / dose/day. This can help with cancer, epilepsy, seizures, liver disease, and severe life-threatening conditions.
For a macro dosage, CBD paste is particularly recommended:
30% paste: 1 milliliter contains 300 mg of CBD
40% paste: 1 milliliter contains 400 mg of CBD
50% paste: 1 milliliter contains 500 mg of CBD
Is there a risk of overdosing?
The question, "How many drops of CBD oil should I take?"
We can point out here: So far, there is no indication that side effects occur even with very high doses of the oil.
How is CBD absorbed?
Cannabidiol (CBD) can be delivered to the body in a number of ways. On the one hand, orally, i.e., through CBD globules, oil, or capsules, on the other hand, through the skin, such as CBD creams, ointments, or oil. It can be inhaled as the third way of delivering CBD to the body. This usually happens through liquids smoked in e-cigarettes or when shower gels are used.
With oral CBD products, in particular, it is usually quite easy to determine how much CBD the body has ingested. Capsules with CBD are pre-dosed, and the CBD oil can be easily dosed with a pipette. It is always difficult for liquids for e-cigarettes or creams, and the amount consumed can only be estimated in practice.
For example, when using CBD oil and a CBD ointment for joint pain at the same time, the dosage of the oil should be lower to avoid an "overdose."
If you are still unsure, you should consult your family doctor, who can help with safety.
In principle, it doesn't matter how the recording is made. For acute pain such as migraines or menstrual cramps, smoking is the fastest and best way to manage pain. In a matter of minutes, CBD can work through inhalation.
Oral ingestion takes a little longer, and the effects should usually begin within about 30 minutes. People with sensitive stomachs should not take drops on an empty stomach. Even if the effect is delayed a little, it should be consumed before taking. This is because CBD oil is then much better tolerated.
The dosage of CBD is actually relatively simple, and after a few days, you will have it very well under control. CBD can be an important helper for acute and chronic complaints, and it is definitely worth having a CBD product in-house.
Above all, it is also advantageous that children and even dogs can be treated with CBD, as CBD has almost no side effects and is, therefore, an important helper for the whole family.
Conclusion - how should I dose cannabidiol?
You may have noticed the manufacturers' recommendations, the information given by the different users, and the different dosages from the studies: until now, no one can say exactly what the CBD oil dose should be in what condition. We recommend:
Slowly get the dose that suits you. It seems like ingesting pain and migraines is enough to just take a few drops, just like it is with anxiety and panic attacks. In the case of very serious illnesses such as severe forms of epilepsy, doses of up to 1000 mg are not uncommon - but this is hardly affordable for private individuals, as such a daily dose of cannabidiol would cost around € 60. In our experience, for example, small doses of up to 10 mg are sufficient for relaxation. I personally take 5mg to fall asleep.
