How much CBD should you take?

CBD dosage is individual and there is no universal dose. The optimal amount depends on body weight, metabolism, method of use and severity of the problem.

General recommendations:

• The UK Food Standards Authority (FSA) recommends a maximum 70 mg CBD daily for healthy adults.
• Beginners should start with low dose (5-10 mg) and gradually increase it.
• Most people achieve the desired effect when a daily dose of 10-40 mg.

Is it possible to overdose on CBD?

CBD is non-toxic and is well tolerated even in high doses. If you take too much, you may experience drowsiness, diarrhea, or mild nausea, but serious side effects are rare.

➡ Tip for beginners: Start with a low dose, monitor the body's response and gradually increase it if necessary. If you are taking medication, consult your doctor about taking CBD.

🔹 Duration of action: 4-6 hours
🔹 Recommended dose for beginners: 5-10 mg CBD (about 2-3 drops of 10% oil)
🔹 Average daily dose: 20-40 mg CBD
🔹 Stronger effect: 50-70 mg CBD

➡ Tip: CBD oils have different concentrations. For example, a 10 ml bottle of 1000 mg CBD Contains 1 drop ≈ 5 mg CBD.

2. CBD capsules and edible products (jelly candy, chocolate, beverages)
