Welcome to The CBD Hut’s Ultimate CBD Dosage Guide

Discover how to find your perfect CBD oil dosage with our expert-backed guide tailored for UK users. Whether you're a beginner or adjusting your intake, this guide will help you achieve balance, relaxation, and wellness safely and effectively.

🟢 Understanding CBD Dosage: Start Low, Go Slow

CBD affects everyone differently. Body weight, tolerance, metabolism, and your desired effect all influence your optimal dosage.

Key Rules:

  • Start Low: Begin with 10-20mg per day.
  • Go Slow: Increase gradually every few days.

General Tip: Many UK users report success starting at 20mg and adjusting by 5mg until they reach desired effects.

⚖️ Body Weight & CBD: Your Guide

A simple rule: Take 1-6mg of CBD per 10 pounds (4.5kg) of body weight.

Body Weight Low Dose (mg) Medium Dose (mg) High Dose (mg)
50kg 10-20mg 25-50mg 60mg+
70kg 14-30mg 35-70mg 84mg+
90kg 18-40mg 45-90mg 108mg+

🧪 Know Your CBD Concentration

  • A 600mg bottle in 30ml = 20mg CBD per ml.
  • If your dropper holds 1ml, that’s 20mg per dropper.
  • Always read your product label!

Pro Tip: Full-spectrum CBD may require less than isolate due to the entourage effect.
