Dosing & Cost Tips

There are a ton of products on the market that have the same names, similar mg. strengths, various flavors, bottle colors, dropper types, and wildly different pricing.  Getting started can be SO CONFUSING!  If you're not familiar with the terms Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum, and the differences of each of these products, see the education section for a simple explanation, it matters! 

​

If you have a friend who's tried CBD but claims, "it didn't do anything" or "I tried it and don't get the big deal..." there's a reason.  It could be incorrect product selection, improper product labeling, improper dosing, or certainly a combination of all three.

​

Don't worry, we're here to help you.

​

Start small, you can always increase from there.  As you learn about your system and become more educated about the right products, you can begin to customize your formulation.  


To begin, divide the strength (expressed in mg) by the size of the bottle, our tinctures are all 30 ml, to give you the amount of CBD per dropper, this formula removes the carrier oil %.  Then divide the amount of CBD in the dropper by 20. The answer gives you the amount of CBD in each drop.

​​

Here are some examples:

​

250 mg/ 30 ml

Divide 250 by 30, and you find there’s 8.33 mg per dropper or .41 mg per drop.

​

500 mg/ 30 ml

Divide 500 by 30, and you find there’s 16.66 mg per dropper or .83 mg per drop.

​

1000 mg/ 30 ml

Divide 1000 by 30 which equals 33.33 mg. per dropper or 1.66 mg per drop


1500 mg/ 30 ml

Divide 1500 by 30 which equals 50 mg. per dropper or 2.5 mg per drop


Cost tip: If your system requires high doses of CBD, you can see the financial benefit of purchasing a stronger product.

​

How Do I Find My Dose?

​

PLEASE READ: If you’re on prescription medication, talk with your physician before experimenting, not just with CBD but with adding any supplement.  It's always a good idea to talk with your physician if you're not sure if CBD is right for you.  Your wellbeing and safety comes first.  

​

Start small and journal your results, take small incremental doses to learn how much is the least amount needed to meet your need.  Incrementally increasing your dose over time to see where you feel the most benefit.


Once you find your custom formula you will know you’re not wasting your money by taking too much or too little.


How much you need depends on your age, weight, the severity of your issue and body’s absorption rate, all of which varies.  

​

We recommend you begin with 15 – 25 mg. twice a day, at regular intervals, and increase by 5 – 10 mg. every 5 – 7 days. How many drops that translates to is based on the strength of oil.
