CBD Oil: How Much Should I Use? Dosage Based on Use

In Spain, many users are asking: How many drops of CBD oil should I take? This comprehensive guide from Bove Health helps you answer that question safely, clearly, and responsibly.

CBD Oil Dosage Principles

CBD dosage doesn't follow a universal rule. It's based on three key principles:

Oil Concentration: Common oils range from 5% to 30%, which is equivalent to 50 mg/ml to 300 mg/ml.
Personal tolerance: We recommend starting with a low dose (e.g., 5 mg) and gradually increasing it.
Clinical observation: Record your experience in a simple diary for accurate adjustment.

Dosage according to your goal

1. To promote rest and sleep

A common ritual in Spain is to take CBD oil 30–45 minutes before sleeping:

Starting dose: 10–15 mg (1–3 drops in a 10% oil, or adjust according to concentration).
Review your response after 3–5 nights and increase by 5 mg if necessary.
Usual effective dose: 15–30 mg (equivalent to 3–6 drops with 10% oil).

2. Daily well-being and stress management

To maintain emotional balance and well-being:

Maintenance dose: 5–10 mg, once or twice a day.
For demanding days: up to 15 mg at midday or evening.
Suggestion: complement with breathing techniques, balanced diet and active breaks.

3. Topical use for skin care

External application of CBD in creams or serums does not require “oral dosing,” but it does require consistency:

Apply a thin layer on the clean area.
Repeat 1–2 times daily as needed.
Combine with moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin.

Individual factors influencing dosage

Body weight: although it is not decisive, it can serve as a reference.
Metabolism: Some people metabolize CBD faster.
Specific goal: Higher doses may support more pronounced relief, but always with caution.
Synergies: combining with healthy habits improves results.

Legal advice in Spain: CBD is not approved as a dietary supplement, so its use is limited to "internal well-being" or cosmetics, with no therapeutic or health claims .
