CBD Oil Tinctures: What Dosage Do I Need?
Apr
CBD oil tinctures are very popular, especially for those who are new to CBD, because they’re so easy and convenient.
All you need is a few drops under your tongue, and you’re on your way. Plus, tinctures are highly concentrated, so they’re portable and discrete.
That said, figuring out what dosage you need can be a little more complicated. In this guide, we’ll give you all the information you need about finding the right CBD oil dosage for you.

Things to Keep in Mind
CBD oil dosage isn’t one-size-fits-all. Metabolism, weight, and age can all affect what dosage you need. Just like with anything else we consume, some people are more sensitive than others.
The severity of the condition you’re looking to relieve with CBD will also impact your dosage.
Method of delivery matters, too. When taken sublingually, tinctures bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream faster than capsules or edibles.
That means 50mg in capsule form and 50mg in sublingual tincture form won’t have the same effect; the tincture will deliver more CBD into the bloodstream.
Finally, remember that CBD doesn’t give you a “high” which means you won’t feel it “kick in” the way you might be expecting. Some people find it can take several weeks to start noticing the results.
General Dosage Guidelines For Different Disorders
*WARNING* This is not to be used as medical advice. Speak to your physician before using CBD.
If you are new to CBD, its suggested you start with a low CBD oil dosage, such as 2.5–5mg taken twice daily. Gradually work up to a higher dose by increasing it every few days until you achieve your desired results.
If you don’t notice benefits right away, don’t get discouraged; it may take up to a month before you start noticing effects, especially for issues such as chronic pain.
To get you started, here are our suggestions for CBD oil tincture dosages when taken sublingually.
Depression and Anxiety: 5–50mg
For mild to moderate anxiety or depression, try starting with our 300mg tincture. Take ½ dropper twice per day (5mg per dose). For severe disorders including panic disorder and PTSD, try starting with our 600mg tincture.
Glaucoma: 20–40mg (taken as a single dose per day)
Try starting with our 600mg CBD tincture, which has 10mg per ½ dropper.

How to Use CBD Oil Tinctures
When it comes to CBD tinctures, you can either add the drops to food and drink or take them sublingually (under the tongue).
The sublingual option is recommended as it enters the bloodstream faster, and since it skips your digestive system, you’ll absorb a higher percentage of CBD than if you eat or drink it.
Which CBD Oil Dosage Is Right For You
If taking sublingually, drop the oil under your tongue and hold it there for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. Some people take several smaller doses throughout the day, while others prefer taking 1 or 2 doses per day.
Take note of how you’re feeling each day and write it down, so you can monitor your results and adjust as necessary.
