If you want to use CBD drops, it is important to adjust the dosage to your own needs. We will discuss this topic in detail in the following sections. The tolerance of CBD drops is different for each person.
The following factors serve as a guideline:
- Size
- Weight
- Severity of the complaints
- Age
- Individual body chemistry
If you are a tall person and have severe sleep disorders, you will tend to need a higher dose. In addition, you should carefully consider the severity of your symptoms so that you can make an assessment of which dose is best. For example, choose a low dosage (1-5 mg CBD) for mild sleep problems and a dose of 15-20 mg CBD for severe sleep disorders.
Calculation example for the dosage of CBD drops
You want to buy CBD drops and don't know how to determine the appropriate dosage? We have a perfect dosage example for you in the following section. Let's say you have a 10 ml bottle containing 3% CBD oil (ca. 230-250 drops). Knowing this, you can calculate how much CBD is contained in a drop.
Before that, however, a small intermediate calculation is necessary:
3 % * 10 ml * 1000 = total amount of CBD in the bottle.
In this case, there are 300 mg of CBD.
This leads to the following result:
CBD content (the amount of CBD is usually written on the bottle) / drops in the bottle = CBD per drop.
This means:
300 mg CBD / 250 drops = 1.2 mg CBD per drop.
If you intend to take 20 mg per day, you should calculate the total amount of CBD to be taken / CBD per drop.
This results in:
20 mg / 1.2 mg CBD per drop = 16.6 drops per day.
And you have already calculated the optimal CBD dosage yourself.
The table shows that a 10% CBD oil contains about 4 mg of CBD per drop. A 15% CBD oil has about 6 mg per drop and a 20% CBD oil has about 8 mg CBD per drop.
It is important to note that these are only approximate values. The CBD content can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
