To get the most out of CBD oil, there are a few factors to consider. We’d like to give you some help with this, as it matters a lot when and how you use them (*find the dosage of micronized spray at the bottom of the page).

What is an optimal dose of CBD oil?

To be honest, there isn’t an exact and specific answer to this question since the right dosage changes from person to person. The reason to that is that each person’s Endocannabinoid system is in a different state, and so is their health level, which is conditioned by their illnesses, the treatment they are following, their state of mind and many other factors

HempWorx CBD oils are available in 30 ml packages and in 3 different concentrations. The recommended dosage is 20 drops daily, divided into two parts. This is only a suggestion and you might well not need this many drops, since all organisms are different.

20 drops of our CBD oils contain:

---

• 500 mg oil: 10 mg CBD
• 750 mg oil: 15 mg CBD
• 1500 mg oil: 30 mg CBD

How to get started?

You should definitely start with a low dose (1-2 drops) and raise the amount by 1 drop every 2 or 3 days. You should keep increasing the amount this way until you see the result or you reach the maximum of the recommended amount.

What are the tangible results?

• deeper sleep
• waking up feeling more rested
• more energy during the day
• a calmer nervous system
• a better tolerance and stress endurance
• a better resistance to bacterial and viral infections

However, not everyone experiences immediate positive changes. If you are one of them, do not get discouraged. You might just need a little more time. The reason could be that your Endocannabinoid system is more exhausted, or you may not have found the perfect dosage for you yet. Be patient.

It is no coincidence that CBD consumption is recommended on a course basis, with a time frame of approximately six months – similarly to other alternative therapies

The exceptions to this are cancerous lesions, Parkinson’s disease and other chronic diseases, where evidence suggests that a longer period of use is recommended.

For a general immune support, when there aren’t any existing health issues, 2×5 drops of the 500 mg oil should be an ideal dose. However, this isn’t engraved into stone, since we are all unique and the above mentioned beneficial effects (e.g. better sleep) might only show up with a 2×7 drops dosage.

So everyone is advised to have the courage to experiment with the dosage and find a dose at which they feel comfortable.

If the body finds the dose too high, it will give its feedback through tiredness, lack of energy and an increased sense of thirst. If you experience these, you should cut off the dose to a level at which these symptoms hadn’t been part of our everyday life.

The perfect way to use it

• Use twice a day, 20-30 minutes after meals (preferably at the same time each day)
• Shake the bottle to mix the oil
• Squeeze the existing oil out of the pipette and suck up a fresh dose (the bottle is child resistant, so watch out for that)
• Drop it under your tongue and hold it there for 1 minute then swallow (you may want to do this in front of a mirror, or if you can’t, you can put it on a plastic spoon)
• Don’t eat or drink anything for half an hour afterwards
• After half an hour, drink a big glass of water!
• After fatty foods, bioavailability is almost 5 times better!!! (e.g. oatmeal with seeds, wholemeal bread with flaxseed, etc.)
• Grapefruit seed drops and St. John’s wort reduce the effects of CBD

CBD soft gel capsules or jelly beans are recommended to be taken once a day, also 20-30 minutes after meal. Preferably at the same time of day and not together with other medicines. For children, cut the jelly bean into half, so the 25 mg are halved and the package will last for 2 months.

Medicines and CBD

1. Always take the medicine first.

2. It is recommended to keep a 3-4 hour interval between taking CBD and a medicine (4 hours for medicines used for cancerous lesions!!!)

3. Monitor the effect of the medicine (e.g. if you take blood pressure meds, CBD could make your blood pressure even lower. In this case you should talk to your physician about lowering the dose or prescribing a weaker medicine.

4. Monitor the side effects of the medicine. If they were not there before or are worsening, it may be due to the interaction of the two substances.

5. It is recommended that you talk to your doctor about introducing cannabis oil into your life! (Even if they are against it, at least they know.)

6. Keep your daily fluid intake high! Just like with vitamins, this is the only way CBD can reach its full effect.

7. Do not take CBD during antibiotic treatments!

Anticoagulants

AN EXAMPLE: When using a morning antihypertensive, take the first CBD dose after lunch and the second in the afternoon or in the evening after supper. If you also take medicine at supper, take the 2nd CBD around 4-5 pm.

CBD variation

This is recommended for people who, for some reason, no longer feel the effects of CBD as strongly as they did at the beginning (obviously, the body has got used to it). In this case, skip a week and then increase the dose by 1-2 drops. This is a great trick to get the CBD out of your system and reactivate the receptors.

Rules for chemo- and radiotherapy, and other biological interventions

Storage and durability of CBD oil

Since CBD is extracted from hemp, it is a plant-based substance. Like all natural compounds, CBD can deteriorate and degrade with time. With proper storage, high-quality CBD can preserve not only its cannabinoid content, but also other elements such as terpenes and flavonoids.

However, it is important to know that exposure to light, heat and air can accelerate the breakdown of CBD and shorten the shelf life of the product. Oxygen can alter the chemical balance of CBD oil – this is known as oxidative stress.

All cannabinoids are degraded by light, heat or oxygen. So make sure you don’t expose it to harsh sun/heat.

To sum up + some good advice

• Just like vitamins, CBD should not be stored in close proximity to heat/radiation emitting devices such as microwave ovens, ovens etc.
• Do not expose CBD to direct heat or sunlight (e.g. never leave it in the car in summer).
• The shelf life of an uncapped CBD oil is approximately one year.
• The “less is sometimes more” rule often applies to cannabis therapy!
• Give your body time to change, and don’t make the mistake of stopping after a month of use, saying it’s worthless. Think about for how many years you’ve had the health issue you are using it for.

Daily Spray

Micronized sprays can be applied at any time of the day with 2 exceptions.

I recommend KETO spray mainly for the evening to keep you in ketosis through the night (fat burning range). For those who don’t eat breakfast or only eat it late, split the evening dose of 8 into two. So take 4 in the evening, 4 in the morning. For large excess weight: 2×8.

TRIM365: this is the only spray with a different dosage and application to the others, as it is a formula to reduce appetite, so it is best to spray 8 times 15-20 minutes before a meal.

Choose your two biggest main meals and apply before them. E.g. 8-8 sprayings before lunch and dinner (a 3rd one in case of bigger appetites).  

The daily dose of the other sprays is 8 servings, which should be divided into 2×4 sprays throughout the day.

• Shake the bottle
• Spray under your tongue
• Wait 1 minute and swallow the liquid
• Do not eat or drink anything (except Trim365) for half an hour
• You can use more than one spray at a time, juts wait a few minutes in between (with CBD oil, allow 1-2 minutes between each spraying).
