How to take the CBD drops?

The easiest way is to take CBD drops under the tongue. To do this, use the pipette usually present in the cap of the CBD oil bottle, then place the desired number of drops under the tongue, by simply pressing the tip provided for this purpose. Leave the cannabidiol under the tongue for at least 30 to 40 seconds and swallow.

If CBD isn't to your liking (particularly because of its earthiness and bitterness), you can also put the drops on a sugar or mix them in a spoonful of honey, in a smoothie or with yogurt. By digestive route, the effects should nevertheless take a little longer than by sublingual route, but will be similar.

How many drops of CBD can you take per day?

The number of CBD drops should be adjusted based on weight and other factors

The answer may not be satisfactory, but it has the merit of being honest and exact: it depends!

1. of the individual: depending on weight, height, consumption habits, genetic predispositions and many other factors, CBD has more or less effect and therefore everyone needs a different number of drops.
2. Of the problem to be dealt with: depending on whether you are taking CBD for sleep better, soothe pain ou reduce stress, to name just a few of the main reasons why cannabidiol is consumed, a different dosage may be required. Thus, in general, the fight against pain justifies higher dosages than the improvement of sleep or the reduction of anxiety.
3. Intensity of symptoms : the milder the symptoms, the lower the dosage can be. On the contrary, and quite logically, the more intense the symptoms, the more a large dosage is necessary.

It is still difficult to understand what amount of CBD represents the maximum dose that should not be exceeded. The good news is that there is no risk of CBD overdose. In case of overdose, some Side effects may appear, involving in particular a pasty mouth, a feeling of drowsiness or gastrointestinal problems (mild diarrhea, stomach pain). It is therefore recommended to do not exceed 70 milligrams of CBD per day for an individual of medium size (about 70 kilograms).

5 tips and tricks for calculating the right number of CBD drops

Thanks to our table, calculating your CBD drops has never been easier

CBD oil dosage usually indicates a volume (vial size, usually in millilitres) and a concentration (percentage). Sometimes a number of drops is recommended, without it being clear why. Here's how to get out of it easily!

1. One drop represents on average 0,05 milliliter of CBD oil.
2. A standard 10 milliliter bottle therefore contains about 200 drops of CBD.
3. A good starting dosage is to take one milligram of CBD per day per 5 kilograms of body weight. Divide your weight by 5 therefore allows you to know the amount of CBD to start (we did the calculation for you in our article dedicated to the CBD dosage).
4. Dividing the total amount of CBD in a 10 mL bottle by 200 (the total number of drops) gives the amount of CBD per drop (again, no need to calculate, use our table in the aforementioned article).
5. Better to start slow and gradually increase the number of CBD drops until you achieve the desired effects.
