How Many Drops of CBD Oil Should You Take? A Step-by-Step Guide

CBD oil is not a one-size-fits-all product. Many first-time users wonder how many drops they should take, how long it takes to feel the effects, and when they should increase their dose. This guide will help you navigate CBD oil dosage to ensure you get the most benefit from your product.


Why Finding the Right CBD Dose is Important

CBD works differently for everyone. Factors such as body weight, metabolism, and the severity of the issue being addressed all influence how much you need. The key to effective use is starting low and adjusting gradually.


The Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Ideal CBD Dosage


Step 1: Start with the Lowest Recommended Dose

If you’re new to CBD, we recommend starting with our 1000mg CBD Oil. Begin with 2 drops, twice per day (morning and evening). Stick with this dose for at least three days to allow your body to adjust.


Step 2: Increase Your Dose if Needed

If after three days you don’t notice any improvements, increase your dose by one extra drop per serving. Maintain this new dosage for another three days to a week before making further adjustments. Continue this gradual increase until you achieve the desired effect.


Step 3: When to Move Up to a Higher Strength

If you find that your ideal dose is around 6 drops, twice per day, you may benefit from switching to a higher strength oil. For example:

  • Instead of 6 drops of 1000mg CBD oil twice daily, switch to 3 drops of 2000mg CBD oil twice daily.

  • If you reach 12 drops per day of 2000mg, consider moving to the 4000mg CBD oil, reducing the drop count while maintaining the same potency.


This not only helps you get the best value for your money but also ensures easier dosing.


Why CBD Dosage is Personalised

Unlike traditional medicine with set dosages, CBD requires a personalised approach. You are in control of your dosage, and monitoring your body’s response is key.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Expecting instant results: CBD takes time to build up in the body.

  • Giving up too soon: Many users stop after a week without realising they need to adjust their dosage.

  • Not increasing gradually: Making large jumps in dosage can make it harder to track what works best for you.

  • Using too little for too long: If you’re taking minimal doses and seeing no effect, you may need a stronger product.


Final Thoughts

Finding your ideal CBD dose takes time, patience, and careful observation. Start low, increase slowly, and switch to a higher strength when needed to optimise your CBD experience.
