Each Body is different
As soon as CBD gets into your body, whatever route it takes, it acts on your body’s own endocannabinoid system (ECS). Put very simply, the ECS is a system that regulates processes such as your mood, your appetite, pain management and inflammatory processes and ensures that your body remains in balance, known as homeostasis.
The effects and extent to which CBD can affect your ECS depends in turn on a wide range of factors, such as your weight, your diet, your metabolism, other medications you take, your state of health and, last but not least, yours Genes.
When we consider that each and every one of these factors influences how your body reacts to CBD, it is easy to see why it is complicated to give general dosage instructions. To make matters worse, science has simply not researched CBD enough.
CBD Dosage: a lot doesn’t necessarily help a lot
The Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry published a study in 2019 that looked at the effects of CBD isolate. The so-called dose-effect curve should therefore be bell-shaped. This means that the intensity of the dose and the associated perception increases for a while before it reaches its maximum, and then decreases again afterwards.
The study focused on subjects who were subjected to a publicly simulated speech test. The study contributes to the opinion that therapeutic dosages must be established, especially for CBD isolate, that the research results can enrich clinical practice.
In addition, the findings provide evidence that a lot doesn’t necessarily help a lot with the CBD dosage. This is particularly interesting for users who increase their dosage again, even if they are satisfied with the result.
Figuring out the right amount for you
There is no dosage recommendation that helps with every complaint and with every person alike. Rather, it is about finding out for yourself how much milligram (mg) of CBD contributes to improving symptoms as a user. The following factors could influence the effectiveness of CBD oil:
- body weight
- your age
- condition you are treating
- individual body chemistry
- concentration of CBD
In other words, there are many variables that determine how much CBD to take.
So it is best to start with a lower dosage and increase it gradually until you achieve the desired effect.
For example, you could start with CBD drops 10%. Take 2 drops once a day. After a week, increase the dose to 2 drops twice a day. After another week, take 2 drops 3 times a day. At this point you may already feel that you have found the right dose.
It can be advisable to write down how much CBD you take and whether you are getting any results. Many people keep a “CBD diary” in which they write down the amount of CBD and the results.
Can you overdose on CBD?
In an assessment regarding the safety and side effects of CBD, it was found that continued use of CBD is well tolerated by humans, even in high doses such as 1,500 mg per day. An update confirmed this assessment.
There are very few known side effects of CBD. However, when side effects do occur, they can include diarrhea, changes in appetite, and fatigue.
Summary of the correct dosage for CBD
Start with a small dose of CBD and gradually increase it until you get the desired effect. Your ideal dosage of CBD will depend on many factors, such as your body weight, body chemistry, health status, and the concentration of CBD in the product you are using.
