As with many other substances, the use of CBD is not an exact science. From our customers’ experience and from some preliminary scientific research, we know that CBD oil can have a positive effect on our health and general well-being. Although it is not always clear what kind of CBD oil and how much of the product you need to take exactly to get a certain result with certain diseases. So, how do you begin to determine the right CBD dosage for your needs?
CBD oil in the body
To understand why CBD does not have an exact dosage, it is important to realize that we are all different. Each individual varies in shape, form and size – and therefore processes these substances differently. In addition, the effects of CBD oil and other cannabinoid supplements on the body can even be affected by what you eat or how you sleep. Although in general, these environmental conditions slightly influence the effect of CBD, compared to the large influence that your body composition makes.
As CBD works by interacting with the body’s own signalling system – the endocannabinoid system (ESS) – your own body and the state it is in are huge factors in the effectiveness of CBD. This can be caused by a fluctuation in the number of CB1-receptors of the ECS in the body. So, to answer the question of how you determine the right CBD dosage, you’re actually the one holding the answer. Considering that you should try the product and see for yourself. But don’t worry, we’re here to help!
Trial and error with CBD oil
If your neighbour feels okay with four drops a day – that doesn’t mean the same dosage will be enough for you. In fact, you may need 10 times as much – or perhaps much less. To find out what the right dose of CBD oil is, you just need to start consuming it. Fortunately, CBD oil is completely safe and will never cause dangerous or adverse effects when there is an “overdose”. But logically and economically, we don’t need to consume more than necessary.
Each Dutch Natural Healing CBD product carries instructions for a starting dose, depending on the concentration of the contents. Because although there is no maximum dose for CBD oil, there is obviously a minimum dose required for CBD to be effective.
Start CBD oil dosage
Depending on the product chosen, the starting dosage for our CBD oil and our water-soluble CBDactive+ is about 1 or 2 drops or pumps, 1 or 2 times a day, unless advised otherwise. This provides the minimum amount of CBD needed to feel any kind of effect. If you do not notice a difference in your condition after 10-14 days of use, it is recommended to increase the dose. It is also recommended to increase the dosage when you believe it could improve the effects of the product. Although at some point it is best to increase the strength of the CBD oil you are using by switching to a higher concentrated dose of CBD per drop, rather than increasing your dose.
