Like most people, you probably want to know what you're getting into before you introduce something new to your body—and CBD is no different. So, when it comes to the various claims made by CBD companies about the number they write on their bottles, you should know exactly what that number means to you in terms of benefits.
Plus, it can help you differentiate the great products that actually deliver from those that only make empty promises.
Why CBD Dosing Matters
“CBD dosage” written on a product label is usually one of those things that people just accept without really knowing what it means — but you should do it. Because that small number will tell you what benefits to expect from your CBD oil tinctures, gummies, or softgels.

Whether you're using CBD for stress, to help you fall asleep, or to give your muscle recovery an extra boost, it's important to know what you're putting into your body.
The terms "CBD dosage" and "CBD strength" are sometimes used interchangeably, but refer to slightly different things. CBD strength is the amount of CBD in a given amount of product, whether a whole bottle or a drop, while CBD dosage is the amount of CBD you ingest at one time. But they are related in that the higher the strength of the product, the higher the dosage you get per serving.
t only that, but it's also important to consider the CBD formula behind the product. This is because broadband CBD and full-spectrum CBD are on two different levels. The addition of a small amount of THC automatically increases the strength and potency of full-spectrum CBD products, even if their CBD content is otherwise identical.
