How Many Drops of CBD Oil Should I Take?

1. Find Your Formula

“For a CBD first-timer, your goal should be to find the right dosage that works uniquely for you,” says Gregor. “It’s different for everyone and because CBD is a food supplement and not a medication, it doesn’t necessarily change by body weight - although this can be a factor.

That said, Gregor recommends “you start low and go slow” with a small dosage. This can be anywhere from 25mg upwards, around 0.5ml of CBD oil, although we tend to find that a dosage around 50mg upwards is what our customers find optimal.

That’s why you'll find the perfect entry-level amount in the CBD Oil Discovery Kit. A great kit for beginners containing 10ml of our Bright Days CBD Oil Drops and Night Time CBD Oil Drops. Start with 0.5 – 1ml dropper of oil (measured with the glass pipette), equivalent to 25mg – 50mg CBD.

2. Decode Your Drops

Keeping with the ‘start low and go slow’ theme, Gregor suggests you take one dropper of oil at a time. However, the number of these single doses per day can vary based on how you're integrating CBD in your daily routine.

3. Observing the Effects

If you're new to CBD, Gregor recommends that you “stay on your beginners’ dose for two to three days to monitor your experience before increasing your dose up to a maximum of 70mg CBD per day." You can even track the experience with our seven-day CBD diary.

Gregor adds: “Sometimes the CBD has to accumulate in the body via the fat cells before you feel any difference. It doesn’t always absorb instantly – you have to give it time.

“If after three days you feel that you might need more CBD, try increasing the amount you take. For example, if you’re taking one 25mg dropper once per day, try a 25mg dropper twice per day.”

Gregor says that, each time you increase, you should wait at least three days before tweaking your dosage again. “This is a good way of discovering how your body interacts with CBD oil.”
