How Much CBD Should I Use?

There's no one-size-fits-all amount of CBD, and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing. Here's how to read a label and find what works for you.

Step 1: Read the label

  • Total CBD (for example, 1000mg) is the amount in the whole container.
  • Per-serving CBD is what you actually use each time. For No 1. Relief Creme +, that's 10mg per pump. For our oils, check the per-dropper amount on the bottle.

Step 2: Start low, go slow

Begin with the smallest serving on the label and see how it feels. For the creme, that's one pump per area. Adjust gradually.

Step 3: Be consistent

Use the same amount, at the same time of day, for a week or two before you change anything. Our measured pump makes this easy.

Step 4: Check in with a professional

If you take prescription medication, especially blood thinners or heart medication, or if you're pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using CBD. See our Safety Information page.
