Start low and increase your
strengths accordingly
We cannot tell you how much CBD to take as this would be
irresponsible of us to do. As previously mentioned, there are no
real or official values to follow. There have been some studies
that have reported figures used in early stage findings, which are
being reported as ‘guidelines’ on different websites and blogs
for certain ailments. To get reliable, accurate information, much
more in-depth clinical studies need performed. This will require
time and patience.
Don’t just start taking 60mg of CBD twice a day because one of
your friends of similar build says it works for them. You need to
consider each person is different and many factors are in play,
like how the body functions. This may include, but is not limited
to, body weight, metabolism, genetics, and the endocannabinoid
system.
What we do suggest is to start off small and to increase your
dosages gradually and see how your body reacts. It may be
useful to keep a log book of how you feel after each dosage until
you find the optimum amount for you. Again, everyone is different.
What worked for your friend may not work for you, or you could
even need a smaller dosage for a similar condition.

Consult your doctor
When in doubt, consult your GP, especially if you have an existing
medical condition. Do not stop taking medication in substitution
for CBD without speaking to your general practitioner.

How to accurately measure your CBD
dosage and the ways of taking it.
There are several methods to taking CBD,
each with their own benefits. Some of these
are easier than others to measure, with
differing uptake mechanisms.
Tinctures
Using a tincture is one of the easiest ways to take CBD. Simply
fill the pipette, lt a couple of the oil drops drip under your tongue
and hold there for at least 30 seconds, or for as long as you can,
before swallowing.
Dropping under the tongue, also known as sublingually, is an
efficient way for rapidly absorbing CBD. Due to the high density
of blood capillaries present under the tongue – and in the cheeks
and gums too – this facilitates direct uptake into the blood stream
and bypasses first stage metabolism by the liver.
How many drops of CBD oil should I take?
With some simple mathematics, we can easily figure that out.
We just need to know how much CBD is in a pipette, thae dropper
which comes with the tincture.
As an example, CBD Ultra Oil drops come with a 1ml dropper,
so this makes it easy for us to calculate how much CBD there is
using the following simple formula.
