How the Calculator Works
1. Weight-Based Formula
Body weight is the primary factor in CBD dosing. The calculator uses a research-backed mg-per-kg baseline adjusted for your condition.
2. Personalised Adjustments
Your experience level and wellness goal fine-tune the dose range — beginners get a gentler start, experienced users get a wider range.
3. Product Absorption
Different products absorb differently. Tinctures absorb ~80%, capsules ~65%, and edibles ~60%. The calculator accounts for this automatically.
CBD Dose Reference by Condition

| Anxiety & Stress | 15–40 mg/day | Morning + evening |
| Pain Relief | 20–50 mg/day | As needed or twice daily |
| Sleep Support | 25–50 mg/day | 30–60 min before bed |
| Inflammation | 20–45 mg/day | Twice daily with meals |
CBD Dosing Best Practices
Start Low, Go Slow
Always begin at the lowest suggested dose. CBD builds up in your system — give it 1–2 weeks before increasing.
Be Consistent
CBD works best when taken at the same time each day. Consistency is more important than the exact dose.
Keep a Journal
Track your dose, timing, and how you feel. This is the fastest way to dial in your personal sweet spot.
Check for Drug Interactions
CBD can interact with certain medications, especially blood thinners. Always check with your doctor first.
Take With Food
Taking CBD with a fatty meal can increase absorption by up to 4x. Avocado, nuts, or olive oil work great.
Choose Quality Products
Look for third-party lab-tested CBD with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). Quality matters more than price.
