How to use CBD oil
The most effective method for consuming CBD oil is sublingual. It offers excellent bioavailability and rapid absorption of cannabinoids in the body.
Here’s how to do it:
– Using the pipette, place the desired number of drops under the tongue.
– Keep the oil for 1 to 2 minutes under the tongue before swallowing.
– You can also massage the oil under the tongue with the tip of the tongue to promote absorption by the mucous membranes.
The oil can also be swallowed directly or mixed with a drink/food. However, oral absorption is less effective and slower than sublingual.
Recommended daily dosage
The dosage of CBD oil is very personal and variable depending on your needs, your sensitivity and your metabolism. It is recommended to start with a low dose and then gradually increase it.
Starting dosage:
– To start, take 2 to 3 drops 2 to 3 times a day, i.e. a daily dose of around 5-10mg of CBD.
– Distribute the doses in the morning, midday and/or evening.
– Preferably start in the evening to assess your tolerance.
Dose adjustment:
– If you do not feel the desired effects after 1 week, increase the dose by 2 drops per dose.
– Proceed in stages until you find the minimum effective dose. Allow at least 1 week between each adjustment.
– In general, the optimal dose is between 10 and 30 mg/day, divided into 2 to 3 doses.
– It is not useful to exceed 100-200mg/day.
For an even more precise personalized dosage, use your weight as a basis. It is commonly accepted to take 1 to 6 mg of CBD per 5 kg of body weight. For example, for 60kg, the dose would be 12 to 72mg/day.
