CBD Oil Dosage: How Much Should You Take?

As one of the fastest growing health and wellness products on the market today, CBD can be found in stores and online at every turn. With so many types of products available and so many varying claims, it can be difficult to decipher real information from tricky advertising, and sometimes, that leaves customers feeling wary and apprehensive. People often wonder:

  • “What is CBD?”
  • “Is it legal?”
  • “What is it used for?”

Because your health and wellness are so important, let’s first strip away the fancy, complicated language and simply answer those commonly asked questions. We want to do this so you can feel confident that you’re making the most informed choices about your health when you choose to incorporate CBD into your wellness journey.

CBD: The Basics

  • “What is CBD?”
    CBD, which is short for cannabidiol, is a compound extracted from the hemp plant. It is one of dozens of cannabinoids extracted from the plant and used in all-natural health and wellness products.
  • “Is it legal?”
    Yes, hemp-derived CBD is completely legal in the United States. In 2018, The Farm Bill was passed. This bill stated that all hemp-derived CBD (which contains .3% THC or less) is legal for growth, production, and sale across the country.
  • “What is it used for?”
    Because CBD is relatively new to the wellness market, consumers are still discovering the many ways CBD can impact one’s overall health and vitality. Currently, individuals use CBD to aid in overall relaxation, to support a healthy sleep routine, to contribute to a healthy skin care routine, or to encourage faster joint and muscle recovery. The list of reported benefits continues to grow, and new, innovative products are hitting the market regularly.

Using the Right Amount of CBD for Maximum Benefits

Now that you have a better understanding of the CBD basics, it’s important to realize that each CBD brand and every CBD product is different, and there is no simple answer to the question “How much CBD should I take?” The composition and application method of the product, as well as your personal height, weight, and individual needs, will be factors in determining how much CBD is right for you. Here are some significant considerations when assessing how much CBD oil you need to experience the ideal benefits CBD has to offer:

  1. Closely read the label of any CBD product before you purchase it. This is of particular importance, as each CBD retailer has its own growth process, extraction process, and production method, and those factors play a large role in the quality, purity, and concentration of CBD oil in their products. It’s also important to know that all unwanted chemicals, solvents, and metals are removed from your product, so it is safe to consume. Ideally, you will choose a CBD brand with a website that outlines their entire process, from hemp seed to bottle, in a transparent manner, so you know everything about the product you plan to consume or apply to your skin.
  2. Favor CBD brands who utilize a scientifically-advanced production process. You are more likely to receive a high-quality, concentrated CBD product that works in harmony with your body if it is produced using a detail-oriented, strict production process. The most reputable CBD brands utilize a groundbreaking nanoemulsion technology in softgels and balms, greatly enhancing the bioavailability of the CBD product. This means a smaller dose can provide the same or a greater result than competitors without this technology.
  3. Each individual CBD product has its own recommended measurements. Because every single body is unique, and different CBD products are created with the goal of addressing a specific need, the best place to begin is to read the “Suggested Use” section of the label on every product. These suggestions are professionally made based on the CBD oil concentration in each product and should be used as a starting point. If, after a couple of uses, you are not achieving your desired results, a slight change in amount is recommended. Further, you may want to reach out to your trusted CBD professionals and ask for personalized recommendations.
  4. Different application methods require different amounts of the CBD product. While this may seem obvious, it is an important consideration. For example, if you are using a CBD tincture and administering your product sublingually, the microscopic blood vessels under your tongue are quickly absorbing the product into your bloodstream, bypassing your typical digestion process. Of course, the recommended dosage will be different if you are using a CBD Body Balm, for instance, which gets applied topically to the skin and is absorbed a bit differently.  This is why it’s important to start with dosages recommended by the retailer, as those suggestions are made by professionals.
