What’s the best way to take CBD?
This is always a tricky question to ask because there are two predominant schools of thought in the CBD world. Some experts contend that microdosing is superior to dosing CBD by body weight and vice versa.
We’ve based our sound judgment on the science, and it is simply this: more clinical research shows the benefits of weight-based CBD administration than of microdosing. But we won’t knock microdosing because that method also works for some CBD users!
Here are the primary differences between the two ways to take CBD (feel free to give either one a try):
- CBD microdosing
Involves taking very small doses of CBD many times throughout the day. The average daily dose of 25 mg to 50 mg CBD is recommended per 24-hour period. Divide the dose you choose by ten. As an example, you will take ten total 2.5 mg to 5 mg doses about every hour to equal the recommended minimum effective daily CBD dose. CBD effects from microdosing are extremely subtle. - Body weight-based CBD dosing
Recommends taking a certain amount of CBD per pound of body weight, one to four times daily for best results. CBD effects are much more pronounced with weight-based dosing. Refer to the CBD dosage chart above to calculate the right dose for you.
The truth is, whichever method works best for you is the right way for you to take CBD. Many first-time users begin by taking the minimum effective 25 mg CBD dose and increasing it over time, depending on how it makes them feel. Weight-based dosing offers an extra level of personal customization that’s more convenient than microdosing and is backed by scientific research.
