Dosing With our CBD Products:
What is the Right Amount?
Finding the ideal CBD dose takes time and can be confusing. Different people and animals have different needs. The reason for taking CBD, the person or animal's body weight, or their particular endocannabinoid system, can affect what an optimal dose is.
To simplify this process, we categorize CBD usage in three different levels:
Focus / Wellbeing
Calm / Stiffness
Stress / Swelling,Tenderness
Cannabinoids have "bisphasic" properties, which means that as the dose increases, the effects do not necessarily improve. A higher dose may actually produce the opposite effect. Therefore, we can't stress enough the importance of taking time to determine what dose works best for you or your animal. Take notes and try our sample logs.
Focus / Wellness:
A lower dose taken once daily may improve focus before work, support skin/coat and gut health, and encourage a healthy immune response.
Calm / Stiffness:
This mid-level dose given twice a day may offer calm during tense situations, soothe stress, support a balanced mood, help aid a restful sleep, and offers relief from regular discomfort and stiffness that comes with age or injury.
Stress / Swelling,Tenderness:
A higher dose of CBD is useful for more extraordinary stress in body or mind. This should be used in cases of intense stress, or severe physical discomfort.
Humans
If you are new to using CBD, we recommend you first discuss it with your healthcare provider. We like to
think "less is more." In general, small doses of cannabinoids tend to stimulate the body, and large doses tend to
sedate it.
Dosing will vary by type of intake, so use the table below to find the suggested amount by product.
Keep a record of how your body feels before you take it, and then again one hour later, and then three hours later.
Take notes and try our sample logs. Continue one dose for 3-4 days before moving up or down.
