Introduction
CBD offers incredible wellness benefits — from better sleep to stress relief — but the most common question we hear is:
“How much CBD should I take?”
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but in this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to find your ideal dose, based on science, body weight, and product type.
How CBD Works in the Body
CBD interacts with your endo-cannabinoid system (ECS) — a network of receptors that helps regulate sleep, mood, pain, and inflammation. The right dose will support balance without causing drowsiness or side effects.
Key factors that affect your dose:
l Body weight
l Metabolism
l CBD tolerance
l Desired outcome (e.g., sleep vs anxiety relief)
l Product type (oil, capsule, vape)
Recommended CBD Dosage by Body Weight
| Body Weight | Mild Dose | Moderate Dose | Strong Dose |
| 45–60kg | 5–10mg | 10–20mg | 20–30mg+ |
| 60–80kg | 10–15mg | 15–25mg | 25–40mg+ |
| 80kg+ | 15–20mg | 20–30mg | 30–50mg+ |
Remember the motto: START LOW, GO SLOW
Always start low, monitor how you feel, and increase slowly across weeks.
How to Measure Different CBD Products
l CBD Oil / Tincture - Check mg per 1ml dropper
Example: 600mg bottle = 20mg CBD per dropper
l Capsules / Gummies - Pre-measured (usually 10–25mg each)
Start with one and assess over a few days
l Vapes - Harder to dose exactly — start with 1–3 puffs, wait 10 mins, and recommended limiting to 12-15 puffs daily.
l Topicals - Apply to skin as needed — no risk of overuse
Tip: Use a journal to track dosage vs how you feel after 30–60 minutes and the next morning.
When Should You Take CBD?
| Goal | Timing |
| Sleep Support | 30–60 mins before bed |
| Stress/Anxiety | Morning or before stressful task |
| Pain Relief | Morning + evening (split dose) |
| Recovery/Inflammation | Post-workout or mid-day |
Can You Take Too Much CBD?
CBD is considered very safe, even at higher doses, but taking too much may cause:
l Drowsiness
l Dry mouth
l Upset stomach
Start with the lowest effective dose and increase slowly over a few days if needed.
