Dosing Basics

Dosing with CBD is different for everybody. As with most herbal remedies, there’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation. There are many variables to take into consideration, such as the individual’s weight, metabolism, environment, genetics, symptoms, and ailments, as well as the product’s potency and consistency.

The Importance of
Dosing and Intention

Generally it’s a good idea to “start low and go slow” to find your ideal dose over time and decide where to go from there. The only way to find your ideal dose is by tuning in to your body and its needs. Five milligrams two to three times per day may be a good place to start. Although this dose may be sufficient, it may be increased if no improvement is experienced after two weeks.

Generally it’s a good idea to “start low and go slow” to find your ideal dose over time and increase as you need it. The only way to find your ideal dose is by tuning in to your body and its needs. Everyone has a different pain threshold and tolerance. If you’re using CBD for mild to moderate inflammation and/or stress and anxiety, 5 milligrams two to three times per day is a good place to start. Although this dose may be sufficient, it can easily be increased to 10mg if no improvement is felt or seen after one or two weeks. Increase the dose until relief is felt. 

Understanding potency and dosage are critically important for best results. As optimal dosage is different with every individual, we suggest starting with a low dose and adding as needed.
