With a full-spectrum CBD oil, there is no general dosage recommendation that works for everyone. Tolerance to CBD is different for each individual. Even the rate and speed of absorption are different for each person.
Therefore, we recommend approaching the dosage with caution. Too little CBD has never done anyone any harm. It is always easier to increase the dosage afterward than to be surprised by the effect right at the beginning.
The following factors are crucial for the body's reaction to full spectrum CBD oil:
Body weight: The more you weigh, the more CBD you can take.
Body chemistry: You will find out over time how your body reacts to CBD and how quickly it breaks down this active ingredient.
Need: Depending on the complaints and symptoms, the optimal CBD concentration changes.
Age and body size: Young people usually tolerate CBD better and metabolise it much faster.
CBD dosage - guideline values
All of the above factors influence the dosage of CBD drops. As you can easily see, every user must learn the optimal dosage by trial and error. We have compiled the following guidelines to make it easier for you to get started. Of course, you can deviate from this if, for example, a lower dosage is already effective for you.

In practice, people tend to take a high dose of CBD right away. We would like to expressly advise against this. The dangers in terms of side effects are practically non-existent. Nevertheless, you should handle this valuable product carefully and respectfully. An unnecessarily high dosage is very close to waste.
Discipline yourself to find your personal feel-good dose. Two to four drops are completely sufficient at the beginning. Especially CBD oil of high organic quality does not require large doses. A nice side effect: With this strategy, you will consume much less CBD oil and, therefore, buy it less often.
Calculate the correct number of drops:
As a rule, the manufacturers provide information on how much CBD a drop contains. If this information is missing, you can calculate the amount on your own.
Here's how:
What is the total content (milliliters) of the CBD oil bottle? What percentage of CBD is the product labelled with?
1. Calculation step:
CBD percentage * content in ml * 1000 = total amount of CBD
10 % * 12 ml * 1000 = 1,200 mg CBD in the entire bottle (at 12 ml and 10 %)
2. Calculation step:
Assume that a bottle with 10 ml CBD oil contains 230 to 250 drops. This basis is used to calculate the CBD content in one drop as follows:
CBD content (total amount) CBD / drops in the bottle = CBD per drop
3. Result:
Total amount of CBD to be taken / CBD per drop = drops needed for desired dosage
20 mg / 4 mg / drops = 5 drops
