How much CBD oil can you use per day? And is CBD oil dangerous, and can I overdose? What is the best dosage of CBD oil? In the following blog article, we will explore this in more detail.
The popularity of CBD oil
CBD oil has made a huge leap in popularity in recent years. More and more people experience the power of CBD and don’t want to be without it. If you read our reviews, you will see that we are rated 9.5, and this is not without reason. Positive customer feedback flows in daily. Quality, service, and price are therefore very important.
In the market, we encounter many competitors offering CBD oil at a low price. We conducted our own research and found companies that supplied poor quality CBD oil. We came across many companies selling 10% CBD that did not contain 10% at all. This diminishes the customer experience.
In a 'relatively' new market like the CBD market, we still see people who are hesitant about the product. And that is more than understandable. The right dosage is very important for a good result.
CBD is not a miracle cure
Everyone with complaints, whether pain, anxiety, or physical issues, hopes there is a miracle cure that works immediately. A drop of CBD and your complaint is gone? Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. To achieve a good result, the right dosage of CBD oil is very important. The amount of CBD drops and how you take them plays a crucial role in achieving a good result.
CBD requires a buildup phase. Therefore, you may not feel results immediately after the first week. A bit of patience on your part is necessary.
How much CBD oil per day?
How much CBD oil can you use per day? This depends heavily on several factors. A better question would be: how much CBD oil do you need per day? Depending on your complaint, age, weight, and medical history, you need to find the right CBD intake.
At ProHemp, we follow this rule regarding CBD oil:
- 5% CBD oil is for preventive use or for children.
- 10% CBD oil is for mild complaints and people who have never used CBD oil before.
- 20% CBD oil is for more severe complaints or experienced users.
- 30% CBD oil is for extreme complaints and experienced users.
If, for example, you suffer from nerve pain and the complaints are severe, we still advise starting with a slightly lower CBD percentage. You could start with 10% CBD oil for the first 4 weeks.
The best approach is to build a steady level and take CBD three times a day. This way, you get CBD throughout the day, and your body adjusts the fastest. We use meals as a reminder. Most people eat three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. By taking it 30 minutes before or after a meal, you won’t forget to take the CBD.
What is the best way to take CBD oil?
The best way to take CBD oil is by dripping it under the tongue. Let it sit for 90 seconds and then swallow it with water. The glands under your tongue quickly absorb the CBD into your body. By looking in a mirror while dripping the CBD under your tongue, you can easily count the drops.
By taking CBD three times a day, you build a good level. Your body then receives CBD throughout the day.
Is CBD oil dangerous?
CBD oil is not dangerous. CBD is often compared to THC. THC is a substance in the cannabis plant that causes a high feeling. The cannabis plant we use for CBD is specially bred to produce CBD. Legal CBD contains less than 0.05% THC. This percentage is negligible. Therefore, you cannot get a high (or get stoned) from CBD oil. If you have used CBD oil, you are allowed to participate in traffic.
It is important to find a company that sells good CBD oil. Do not buy CBD oil from a private individual. At ProHemp, we have a test report for every batch. This way, you can see exactly what is in your CBD oil.
If you take too much CBD oil, you cannot overdose. It is just a waste to take more drops than necessary. The short-term feeling does not solve anything. Since CBD oil is quite expensive, it is wise to take the correct dosage.
What is the best dosage of CBD oil?
To determine the best dosage of CBD oil, we will look at two different situations.
1. You have never used CBD before and suffer from anxiety.
You are unhappy at work. There is enormous pressure on you, making your home situation unpleasant as well. This situation puts a lot of stress on your shoulders, causing poor sleep. Poor sleep means your body does not recover well. It gets worse day by day, making you afraid of the future. The whole situation causes you a lot of stress and anxiety about your future. You cannot just quit your job because you need the money to pay your bills. Due to anxiety, your performance at work decreases. This causes even more anxiety, making you sink further and further. You have heard about CBD but never used it. You want to use CBD. Which CBD and dosage should you use?
This is a situation we see often. In this case, we advise the following CBD:
Since this customer has never used CBD oil, it is important that the body gets used to the CBD oil. We therefore recommend 10% full spectrum CBD oil. The customer takes CBD three times a day. 30 minutes before or after a meal is best. The customer drips the CBD oil under the tongue and lets it sit for 90 seconds. In the first week, the customer takes three drops each time (so nine per day). In the second week, the customer increases by 1 drop, so four times a day three drops. After three weeks, the customer goes to three times a day five drops. In the fourth week, the customer goes to three times a day six drops (18 drops per day).
After 4 weeks, the body is used to CBD oil, and the customer switches to a stronger CBD oil: the 20% full spectrum oil. Instead of three times a day 6 drops of the 10%, the customer goes to three times a day three drops of 20%. In the following weeks, the customer also gradually increases the dosage until the right dosage for their complaint is reached.
2. You have nerve pain and have been using CBD for a year
You have been using preventive 10% CBD oil, 4 drops per day, for years. In the last month, you have developed nerve pain. The pain is quite extreme, and you are looking for the right dosage of CBD oil.
In this case, your body is already used to CBD oil. Because the pain is severe, you can go directly to 30% CBD oil. The 30% CBD oil is the strongest in terms of CBD. Anything above 30% is too thick for an oil.
You start with three times a day three drops of 30% CBD oil. After a week, you increase by 1 drop (three times a day 4 drops). You increase this up to a maximum of 18 drops per day (three times a day 6 drops). You look for the right dosage to achieve the desired result. Once you have found the desired result, you can gradually reduce the dosage.
Conclusion
For every complaint, it is a matter of finding the right dosage of CBD oil. It is therefore important to give it time and not stop using CBD oil abruptly. To know how much CBD oil you need per day, it is important to know your complaint, your history with CBD, your age, and your body weight. If you find it difficult to find the right dosage, you can contact the specialists at ProHemp.
