What is Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?

Full-spectrum CBD oil contains a range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds found in the hemp plant, including small amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. However, the THC content in full-spectrum CBD oil is usually below 0.2%, which is not enough to cause a “high.”

The combination of these compounds produces what is known as the “entourage effect," where the various cannabinoids and terpenes work together synergistically to enhance the therapeutic effects of CBD.

• Body Weight and Metabolism: Larger individuals may require higher doses than smaller ones because the distribution of cannabinoids is influenced by body mass. Likewise, people with faster metabolisms might metabolize CBD more quickly and may need a higher or more frequent dose.
• Severity of Condition: The amount of CBD needed may vary based on the condition you are treating. For example, mild anxiety might require a smaller dose compared to chronic pain or severe inflammation.
• CBD Tolerance: Regular use of CBD may lead to an increased tolerance, meaning you might need to gradually increase your dosage over time to achieve the same effects.
• Concentration of CBD Oil: The concentration of CBD in your oil (expressed in milligrams per drop) will directly affect the dosage. A higher-concentration oil will require fewer drops to achieve the same dose compared to a lower-concentration oil.

Although the “correct” dosage varies from person to person, there are some general recommendations that can serve as a starting point.

• Low Dose: A low dose typically starts around 5-10 mg of CBD per day. This might be ideal for someone new to CBD or dealing with mild symptoms like occasional anxiety or light discomfort.
• Moderate Dose: A moderate dose generally ranges between 10-30 mg per day. This range may be better suited for individuals treating moderate symptoms, such as chronic pain or insomnia.
• High Dose: A high dose is considered anything above 30 mg of CBD per day, Max 70mg per day, unless under supervision of a healthcare professional. This is often used by individuals treating severe conditions like epilepsy, PTSD, or intense chronic pain. It’s important to note that high doses should be approached cautiously and adjusted gradually to avoid any potential side effects.

Calculating Your Dosage

Our CBD oils come with a dropper or a spray that allows you to measure the dose in mgs. To calculate the correct dosage, you’ll need to know how much CBD is in each drop of the oil.

1 drop of a 5% oil is approximately 2.5mg of CBD

1 drop of a 10% oil is approximately 5mg of CBD

1 drop of a 20% oil is approximately 10mg of CBD

1 spray of oil is approximately 3 or 4  drops.

• Start Low: Begin with a low dose (5-10 mg daily) and monitor how your body responds for about a week. If you experience relief, this might be your ideal dose.

• Gradually Increase: If you don’t notice any improvement after a week, slowly increase your dose by 5 mg every few days. Continue this process until you achieve the desired effect.

• Track Progress: Keep a journal of your doses and how you feel after each. This will help you fine-tune the dosage over time.

• Consult a Professional: If you’re unsure about how much to take or are treating a specific condition, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional who is knowledgeable about CBD.

Finding the correct dosage of full-spectrum CBD oil requires patience and a bit of experimentation. Start with a low dose and work your way up gradually, paying attention to how your body responds.

Body weight, the severity of the condition being treated, the concentration of the oil, and individual body chemistry all play significant roles in determining the optimal dosage. Additionally, seeking guidance from a healthcare professional can help you navigate your dosing journey, especially if you’re using CBD to manage a specific medical condition.
