How to use the CBD dosage calculator
The CBD dosage calculator is very easy to use. Once you have entered the required information, it will show you the ideal number of CBD drops for you. Here is some useful information:
After your age and weight in kilograms, you will be asked to indicate how many mg are in the oil package. This information can be easily found on the package; it is the percentage with two zeros added. For example, 24% oil contains 2400 mg of CBD. 10% oil contains 1000 mg.
You will then be asked to indicate how many ml of oil there are in the package. This information can also be easily found on the inside or outside of the package. Our products, for example, come in 10 or 30 ml sizes.
You will need to indicate the reason you intend to use CBD and whether you want a mild, medium, or strong effect.
Based on your data, the tool will indicate the number of CBD drops to take per day and the mg that the number of drops corresponds to.
It is important to remember that the results of the tool are indicative. Every body is different, and it is important to take CBD gradually and monitor its effects before establishing the ideal dosage.

How many mg of CBD should you take per kg?
Two people of the same sex and with virtually identical weight and height may respond very differently to the same CBD dosage because each body responds differently to the use of active ingredients. That's why it's essential to start with a low dosage and increase gradually if necessary.
However, depending on gender, body weight, and specific needs, here are some guidelines that may be useful:
- For women, a low dosage corresponds to 0.3 mg of CBD per kg of body weight per day, a medium dosage to 0.7 mg/kg, and a high dosage to 1.1 mg/kg.
- For men, a low dosage is generally around 0.5 mg of CBD per kg per day, a medium dosage corresponds to 1 mg/kg, while a high dosage can reach up to 1.5 mg of CBD per kg of body weight per day.
How to calculate CBD dosage?
CBD dosage can be classified as low dosage (1 to 30 mg of CBD per day), standard dosage (10 to 100 mg of CBD per day), and high dosage (50 to 800 mg per day).
- Low dosage
Low dosage ranges from 1 mg to 20 mg of CBD per day and is the most appropriate amount for getting started with the active ingredient.
- Standard dosage
Standard dosage ranges from 10 to 100 mg of CBD per day and is the right amount for acute pain, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and particularly pronounced anxiety and stress.
- High dosage
The high dosage ranges from 50 mg to 800 mg of CBD per day. This is an intense regimen, usually prescribed for very severe disorders.

How many drops of CBD should you take per day?
Considering a 10% CBD oil, for a low dose you should take 1 to 6 drops per day. For a standard dose, take 6 to 33 drops per day. For a high dose, take 16 to 150 drops per day.
Considering a 30% CBD oil, 4-6 drops are recommended once or twice a day.
With the CBD quantity tables available on this page, you can easily calculate your CBD dosage based on the percentage of the active ingredient.
In the meantime, let's answer some other frequently asked questions.
CBD dosage for sleep
If you are using a 10% CBD oil, 5-10 drops are recommended before going to bed. However, pay attention to the ingredients. There are excellent CBD drops for sleep that also contain melatonin and other cannabinoids. In this case, 1 ml is recommended before going to bed.
CBD dosage for anxiety
The recommended amount of CBD to support the body in cases of anxiety and stress ranges from 50 to 120 mg per day, which corresponds to approximately 15-25 drops of 15% CBD per day. It is recommended to start with a few drops and increase gradually if necessary.
The advice for finding the ideal CBD dosage is: “Less is more!” especially if you intend to apply CBD several times a day.
CBD dosage for pain
To get the most out of CBD for pain relief, we recommend taking 10 to 20 drops per day of 24% CBD oil, which corresponds to a CBD intake of 70 to 140 mg per day.
What happen if i take too much CBD?
Research suggests that CBD is a well-tolerated active ingredient with no significant side effects. In this study, which confirmed a good safety and tolerability profile, the most common side effects of CBD were analyzed in 454 participants, including healthy volunteers and clinical cases. When detected, the side effects were mild or moderate and included gastrointestinal symptoms (59.5%), drowsiness (16.7%), loss of appetite (16.5%), and hypertransaminasemia (12.8%).
The most significant adverse effects, which mainly included hypertransaminasemia, were observed when CBD was used in conjunction with anticonvulsant drugs, including clobazam and valproate.
It is essential to consult your doctor if you want to take CBD while using medication because it may interact with drugs. In case of diarrhea, changes in appetite, and fatigue, it is advisable to first make sure that it is not due to drug interactions, suspend use for a while, and review the amount of product applied.
Finally, remember not to take CBD during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
How to keep track of the amount of CBD you take
In addition to easily calculating the milligrams of CBD and converting them into the number of drops with the help of tables, you can opt for pre-dosed products such as CBD capsules or CBD gummies which are pre-dosate and very easy to take.
CBD dosage: conclusion
According to scientific research, CBD dosage ranges from 2 mg to 800 mg per day. However, it is important to start gradually and consult your doctor if you are taking medication or plan to use high doses of CBD.
The amount of CBD to take depends on a number of factors. Unfortunately, there is no standard dosage, but there are several parameters that can be used to calculate the most appropriate amount of CBD to use.
First of all, it is important to bear in mind that each person responds differently to the use of a certain CBD content in relation to various parameters, which may include:
- Gender
- Body weight
- Age
- Specific needs
- Health conditions
- Use of medications
CBD is a safe and well-tolerated active ingredient, but it is still essential to check the effects that CBD may have on your body calmly and gradually.
Remember that it is very important to start with a few drops, increasing or decreasing the number of drops depending on your body's response.
Consistency and continuity in the use of cannabidiol can make all the difference. You could keep a small notebook to record the time, number of drops applied, and subsequent effects, so that you can monitor the long-term benefits and find the right amount for you.
Remember also to consult a doctor if you are following specific drug-based therapies and to suspend the use of CBD during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Be careful only choosing CBD products that comply with safety standards.
