CBD Dosage
There is no single dosage for hemp products that is suitable for everyone. Sensitivity is individual and depends on the type of product, its strength and the individual. Below are general, responsible guidelines for use.
General rule: start low, adjust slowly
We recommend starting with a smaller dose and gradually increasing it as needed according to how you feel. Always follow the instructions on the packaging of the individual product. We generally recommend starting with 5 drops and increasing the dose by 5 drops each day until you achieve the desired effect (better sleep, less pain, greater calmness, etc.). Once you reach the dose that suits you best, there is no longer any need to count the drops. You can then easily measure the dose using the dropper, as one full dropper contains approximately 12–14 drops.
How to use CBD drops (CBD oil)
You can place the drops under the tongue (sublingual use) and hold them there for 1–2 minutes before swallowing. You can also swallow them directly. In this case, the effect is generally the same, but it may appear somewhat later, usually with a delay of approximately one hour. You can also add the drops to cold or lukewarm drinks and food. The included dropper bottle enables easy and precise dosing. In the descriptions of individual products, we also state the approximate number of drops per bottle, which makes it easier to plan use (e.g. 5% EKO CBD drops – approx. 560 drops per bottle).
When to take them
For most people, it is recommended to take CBD drops in the evening, before going to bed. For the best experience, use them regularly and consistently for several days, as this will make it easier to assess how the product affects your well-being and which dose suits you best. If you are using the drops for the first time, start with a smaller dose and gradually adjust it as needed.
How strength affects the dose
With drops containing a higher concentration (e.g. 7% EKO CBD), you need fewer drops to obtain the same intake of cannabinoids than with drops containing a lower concentration (e.g. 5% EKO CBD). When choosing a product, however, not only the CBD content is important, but also the content of other cannabinoids, especially THC. For a consistent user experience, it is essential that the ratio and concentration of cannabinoids are as consistent as possible across all product batches. Only in this way can you expect comparable effects and easily adjust the dosage over time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take too much?
If you follow the instructions, you cannot take too much. Excessive intake of cannabinoids may cause short-term poorer well-being, but does not cause negative effects in the long term. If you are uncertain, take medication or are pregnant, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
How long does it take to notice an effect?
This is highly individual and depends on the individual, the method of use and the dose. Once you find a dose that suits you, you can usually notice the effects soon after use. We recommend using the drops regularly and consistently for at least a few days and monitoring how you feel. This will make it easier to determine which dose suits you best and how your body responds to the product.
Can I combine the drops and ointment?
Yes – the ointment is used on the skin, while the drops are intended for oral use.
