How Much CBD Should I Take?
One of the most common questions we are asked is, "How much CBD should I take?"
The simple answer is that there isn't one specific dose that everyone should be taking. Because everyone is unique and different, each person may require a unique amount of CBD to receive the therapeutic benefits their body needs.
How Does CBD work?
To explain how much CBD should i take, you need to know how CBD works in the body.
Your body produces endocannabinoids, tiny neurotransmitters that connect to our cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.
Your endocannabinoid system sends CBD to these receptors to assist with pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety, and relaxation.
You may not know this, but the human body produces a small amount of CBD. Adding more CBD to your body's endocannabinoid system gives your body more fuel to fight against the problems you are experiencing.
This is why CBD is a trending product right now and is being requested in high demand. CBD is one of the most natural ways for your body to fight against day-to-day issues with discomfort, mood, sleep, and more.
How much CBD should I take?
Now back to our original question, "how much CBD should I take?" Your body will need a different amount of CBD based on what is currently causing problems.
For example: If you have mild head pains or pain found in your back or joints, you may only need a small amount of CBD; however, if you struggle with a more severe issue caused by a previous incident like an accident or traumatic encounter, then you may need a much higher strength.
Let's talk about what strength of CBD is best for you.
What CBD Strength is right for me?
CBD Strength is based on the per servings amount of CBD in a product. In the Blog article "CBD Oil Help Guide – What to know before buying," we discuss the differences between the larger CBD milligram (mg) number on the front of the bottle and the actual CBD mg amount you get each serving.
The simplified version is that the large CBD mg strength on the front of the bottle indicates how much CBD is in the entire bottle. By looking under the product information, you can usually find how much CBD you will receive per serving.
At Zatural, we give the total mg numbers as well as the CBD mg amount per servings. This helps distinguish what products you should buy to get the right CBD amount to meet your needs.
For example, if you have a 1oz 300mg bottle of CBD oil with 30 servings, divide 300mg by 30, and you will get 10mg of CBD per serving. You can do this with any CBD product that lists a per-serving amount.
So, how much cbd should i take? Here at Zatural, Naturopathic Doctor MaryAnn Stanger has created a CBD dosage chart based on weight. This chart is not 100% accurate and should be viewed solely as a recommendation.
CBD dosage chart:
After finding a dose that fits your needs based on the CBD dosage chart, you'll want to buy a product that can supply that CBD amount.
Remember, the CBD dosage chart above is just a starting guide to help you find the right CBD amount. Once you have your bottle, it is recommended that you follow the dosage instructions.
For example, if you need 50mg of CBD a day, you would want to buy either our 1 oz 1,500 mg, 2 oz 3,000 mg, or 4 oz 6,000 mg CBD tincture bottle. One serving (1 ml) from any of these bottles will deliver 50mg of CBD per serving.
If that amount isn't showing effectiveness, you may need to increase your dosage. It's best to increase your dosage in small increments.
The labels on Zatural CBD products show how much CBD you receive per serving. Try experimenting with the dosage size until you find a dosage amount of CBD that works for you.
What type of CBD product should I try?
At Zatural, we offer a few different ways of getting your daily dose of CBD. Zatural carries a variety of Oil tinctures, capsules, gummies, and other CBD products.
How much CBD should i take of the gummies or capsules, or oil tinctures? As mentioned above each product list the amount of CBD per serving, to help the user figure out how much CBD they are taking.
Each product is available in a variety of sizes and strength options. Below we can help point you in the best direction on how to choose the right CBD product for you.
CBD Oil Tinctures
When it comes down to overall effectiveness, CBD oil tinctures are the best choice. Oil tinctures are administered by putting the oil underneath the tongue and holding it there for 30-60 seconds.
The oil is then introduced into the blood vessels underneath the tongue, allowing it to travel throughout the body, delivering faster results.
The different types of CBD oils to look for are Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and Isolate CBD CBD. Each type of CBD oil contains different types of cannabinoids. Click here to learn more about the different types of CBD oil.
CBD oil generally has a strong grassy taste. If that taste isn't for you, then we would suggest trying another type of CBD product.
CBD Capsules
CBD oil can be purchased in capsules form. The best part about taking CBD in a capsule is the pre-measured dosage amounts, and it is essentially tasteless.
You might also find that capsules can easily be paired with other supplements like curcumin to help with inflammation and pain or melatonin to assist with sleep.
CBD edibles
CBD edibles like gummies, gum, mints, chocolate, and honey are fun and delicious options for taking CBD. For those who don't like the taste of CBD oil or have trouble swallowing a capsule, an edible is the best option.
However, depending on the type of CBD in the edible, you may find a problem with bioavailability.
CBD Topicals
Because CBD works with our endocannabinoid system, it doesn't mean that it can't be applied topically.
When CBD is applied topically, the oil is absorbed into the epidermis and can help systemic problems. CBD can be applied topically to assist with pain and inflammation.
Sum it up!
Hopefully this blog has explained how much CBD should i take. Because the answer is experimentation. Our CBD dosage chart will be able to give you the best starting point, but everything from that point is up to the user.
If a product is not working as you had hoped it would, maybe it's not strong enough or your body doesn't absorb CBD as well as others. The only way to find out if that is the case is to take more and experiment with the dosage.
We wish you the best on your CBD Journey! If you need help with our CBD dosage chart feel free to reach out to our customer service team by either chat or email.

I have CMT1 and CBD oil has been such a blessing. My family says the pain pills I was on made me loopy. Once I reduced the pain pills and increased the CBD oil, I felt better and more alive or awake. I was hesitant to try CBD oil but now I am glad I did. I feel great and can sleep through the night . Thank you
Hi James,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hello, I also want to share my experience of using cbd. I was worried about this for a long time, I thought that they did not work and this is part of propaganda, however, after a short course of these pills, I really began to feel all the promised effects on myself, which is incredibly happy. Actually, how can I not be happy when the pain in my back disappeared, I can sleep normally and have an appetite like a boy of 18 years old. I began to feel that the quality of life began to regress to the norm that it once was. Thank you for the interesting article.
We will keep our fingers crossed too. I hope that our CBD oil is the solution that you have been looking for!
I am very excited about CBD and the possibility of being Med free for high blood pressure, cholesterol, pancreatitis and aches and pains…. fingers are crossed. Thank you for making alternatives available.
