How Many CBD Gummies Should You Eat?

Posted on September 21, 2022 by Sam Schaeffer

If you are new to reaping the benefits of CBD, you may be wondering how many CBD gummies to take for the common reasons many people take CBD gummies. CBD gummies are a great way to get started with CBD and taste good too!

Let’s take a look at why people take CBD gummies in the first place, and how to determine how many you should take for what you may be experiencing.

CBD Gummy Dosage For Various Purposes

CBD gummies are a fun and easy way to ingest CBD and take advantage of the benefits of taking the supplement. Like CBD Oil, CBD Gummies have a certain time for their shelf life.

Gummies also often have a predetermined dosage that makes it easier to know how much CBD you are taking in one or two bites. Packaging will tell you how much is in each gummy, so you really know what you’re getting with each bite.

To put it shortly, there is no set guide on how many CBD gummies you should take for treatment. It’s really up to you. That being said, there are a few factors that you should consider when thinking about taking CBD Gummies for helping sleep, anxiety, or pain. There are many people seeking answers to this question, and we are here to help.

Let’s look at some of the ways people decide how much to take, depending on their goals. We will cover how to determine the amount of CBD to take for sleep, anxiety, and pain.

CBD For Sleep

Taking CBD gummies for sleep is a great way to revolutionize your rest time. We have found it to be transformative in helping you get restful sleep so that when you wake up, you are not groggy or overtired. Many people have turned to CBD gummies for treatment of trouble sleeping because, well, who doesn’t like to eat gummies?

Also, as mentioned before, gummies make it easy to determine dosage amounts, as each gummy usually has a set dosage amount as indicated on the packaging. It also depends on whether or not you are taking CBD gummies simply to be able to fall asleep easier, taking them to stay asleep throughout the night, or both.

Generally, CBD gummies can take up to 20 minutes or more to take effect. This means that if your goal is to get better sleep, be sure to take your gummies about 20-30 minutes before you plan to go to bed.

We recommend 10-25mg before bed for better sleep and positively affected sleep cycles. If you really have trouble sleeping, maybe try a higher dosage, such as 40-50 mg. It all depends on their effect on your own body, so play around with them and see what works for you.

CBD For Anxiety

In the United States, an estimated 19.1% of adults suffered from anxiety in the past year. An estimated 31.1% of U.S adults experience anxiety at some point in their lives. Suffering from anxiety is so much more common than people think. After years of being considered taboo to suffer, many people are creating a culture that embraces anxiety, and the community looks for ways to help others’ anxiety.

It’s okay to look for help with your anxiety. You are not alone in your struggle, and there are ways you can reduce your anxiety without CBD gummies, but we have seen them help the people around us with their anxiety.

In terms of anxiety, we recommend 15-30 mg to ease pain and enhance your ability to focus on things that aren’t causing you anxiety, like the task at hand or something else entirely. If you are striving to focus on your anxiety, taking CBD is a great way to help you get through the day without dealing with the adverse side effects that might occur from other forms of coping with anxiety.

Be sure to play around with dosage for anxiety as well. Many people take multiple gummies throughout the day to ensure they don’t have any anxiety spikes. Our gummies are made with full spectrum CBD, so you will need a smaller dosage to make sure you find relief from your anxiety.

CBD For Pain

Taking CBD gummies for pain can be a great alternative to other potentially harmful painkillers, without the addiction and hold on your life these may take. We recommend playing around with the gummies to see what works for you and your body and dial it down to what works best.

Depending on the potency of your chosen CBD gummies, you might want to increase or decrease the number of gummies you take for different ranges of pain. The correct dosage for pain can vary, depending on things that we will cover later, but it can range from 5-50 mg depending on how much pain you are in. On the smaller side of the pain scale, CBD can reduce the pain signals and soreness you may be feeling.

A lot of athletes, such as runners and weightlifters, will turn to CBD to help them recover from strenuous workouts. Nobody really likes to feel incredibly sore after a workout. People in extreme pain may need a larger dosage, such as anywhere from 500-600 mg, to feel the effects of the gummies.

CBD Factors For Determining the Right Dosage

Many factors can influence what the right dosage is for you. As we mentioned before, you can play around with CBD gummies and slowly determine what works for you.

Still, there are also a few factors to consider that may help you narrow it down more quickly, such as your metabolism, body weight, the potency of the gummies, what kind of CBD you are taking, and some general tips to correctly dose yourself. Let’s take a look at each factor.

1 – Metabolism

When considering this factor, you will need to determine how active you are, as well as your diet. How much are you eating every day, and how often? Metabolism plays a vital role in the effect of CBD gummies because depending on when your body can process the CBD, you will feel the effects at different times.

An excellent way to ensure that you are getting the full effect of the gummies quickly is by taking your CBD gummies on an empty stomach or just before you eat one of your daily meals. On the other hand, if you want strong but slow effects, we recommend taking your CBD gummies after you eat one of your daily meals.

This way, it will slow down the metabolism of the CBD so that more of the active ingredients in the CBD gummies reach your bloodstream and can positively affect your day.

2 – Body Weight & Gummy Potency

Your weight can determine how well your body can process CBD gummies, and other food and medicines as well. You may have heard this before, as some people take more ibuprofen or Tylenol, depending on how much they weigh. Here’s a look at how different weight groups need more or less CBD to have a positive effect:

· Less than 130 lbs: up to 11 mg

· 130 lbs to 230 lbs: up to 18 mg

· 230 lbs and above: up to 23 mg

Many people calculate dosage by taking anywhere between 1 to 5 mg per 10 pounds of body weight. An easy way to do this is to divide your weight by 10, giving you the number of milligrams you can start with. Depending on how that makes you feel, you can either increase the dosage or you can lower it to get the optimal effects that you are looking for.

As we have said before (a few times), it’s important to test different dosages out and weigh the pros and cons to help you find what helps you the best.

If you are on a weight loss journey, pay attention to your dosage to make sure that as you drop your weight, you may want to lower your dosage as well to have the best effects from the CBD gummies as well possible.

On the other hand, if you have gained weight over time, you may need to reassess your dosage to ensure that you get the best results possible from your CBD gummies. Remember: it all depends on you and your desired outcome of taking CBD gummies.

The strength and potency of the gummies you consume is another important factor to consider on top of your weight. Everyone’s tolerance is different, with different goals for taking CBD gummies. Depending on how much you weigh, you may want to up your dosage in alignment with how strong you want your effects to be.

For people who weigh 130 and below, you should take 12-15 mg of CBD for moderate effects, and 15-17 mg of CBD for a stronger effect. For those who are in the weight range of 130-230 pounds, take 19-23 mg of CBD gummies for a moderate effect, and 24-27 mg of CBD gummies for a stronger effect. And finally, those who weigh 230 pounds and above should take 24-30 mg of CBD gummies for a moderate effect, and 31-45 mg of CBD gummies for a stronger effect.

To consider whether or not you would like moderate effects or strong effects, you should think about what you are trying to accomplish. Are you in extreme pain? Having an anxiety attack or severely lacking in sleep? You will most likely want to go with the stronger effect and a higher dosage.

On the other hand, if you are looking for slight pain relief and help with your stress management, you will likely want to take a dosage that will give you moderate effects.

3 – CBD Isolate vs. Full Spectrum CBD

The two most popular types of CBD products are usually either CBD Isolates or Full Spectrum CBD. What’s the difference between the two? Well, CBD Isolate is usually pure CBD. It can come in a powder, which is then infused into different products such as CBD gummies, vape juice, and others.

Meanwhile, Full Spectrum CBD is considered to be one of the more effective types of CBD that’s infused into products. Its effects are generally more pronounced and noticeable, and determining the dosage tends to be more predictable.

4 – General Tips for Correct Dosage

Eating CBD gummies is one of the easiest ways to take advantage of the positive effects of CBD. As mentioned before, the package will tell you how much CBD is in each gummy, making it easy to know how much you are consuming. Here are some general tips to help you get started with your first CBD gummies.

· Try taking your gummies at different times during the day to test what makes you feel the best. Some people need to take them throughout the day to have a lasting effect, but some circumstances might not permit this.

· If you are going to raise your dosage, make sure to raise it in small increments in order to find your sweet spot.

· When you are starting out with CBD gummies for the first time, make sure to start out with a smaller dose.

· Try using CBD gummies every other day to see how you feel without taking them and while taking them as well.

· Determine what your goals are before taking CBD gummies.
