How to Dose CBD Oil

Most droppers deliver around 1mg of CBD per drop — but always check your label for accuracy. Start low (a few drops) and gradually increase until you find your ideal amount. Keep a simple daily log to track consistency and results.


Best Time to Take CBD Oil

  • Morning: Supports calm focus and balance during the day.
  • Evening: Promotes relaxation and better sleep — see CBD for Sleep.
  • Split dosing: Try smaller doses morning and evening for steady all-day support.

How to Take It (Step-by-Step)

  1. Shake the bottle gently before use.
  2. Measure your dose using the dropper.
  3. Place the drops under your tongue.
  4. Hold for 60–90 seconds before swallowing to maximise absorption.
  5. Take consistently at the same time each day for best results.
