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)
- Shake the bottle gently before use.
- Measure your dose using the dropper.
- Place the drops under your tongue.
- Hold for 60–90 seconds before swallowing to maximise absorption.
