How to Choose the Right CBD Dosage: Oils, Capsules & Pastes

Introduction

“How much CBD should I take?”
It’s the most common question — and the most important.
Getting your dosage right can mean the difference between no results and life-changing relief.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to find the perfect CBD dosage for oils, capsules, and pastes, based on your body, goals, and experience level.


📊 General CBD Dosage Guidelines

Experience Daily Dose Best Format
Beginner 10–20mg Capsules or low-strength oil
Intermediate 20–40mg Full-spectrum oil or paste
Advanced 40–60mg+ CBD paste or high-strength oil

💡 Always start low and increase slowly until you feel results.


🧴 CBD Oil Dosage

  • Measure in drops (usually 1ml = 20–25mg CBD)

  • Take under the tongue, hold 60 secs, then swallow

  • Start with half a dropper (10–15mg) once daily

  • Increase every few days until you feel consistent benefits

Best for: People needing flexible control, quick onset

🧠 How to Track Your Ideal Dose

Use a CBD journal and log:

  • Dosage amount

  • Time of day

  • How you felt after 30 mins / next morning

  • Any side effects (drowsiness, too alert, etc.)

After 5–10 days, you’ll have clear insight into what works for your body.


❗ Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Starting too high
❌ Giving up after 1–2 days
❌ Using a weak product
❌ Ignoring the label or lab report
❌ Not being consistent
