Wondering how many CBD gummies you should take? You’re not alone.
Whether you're brand new to CBD or just trying to dial in the right daily dose, finding your personal sweet spot can feel a little like...well, alchemy. But don’t worry—we’re here to break down the science, the serving sizes, and everything in between so you can get the most from your gummies.
Why CBD Dosage Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
Let’s start with the golden rule: CBD affects everyone differently.
Your ideal CBD gummy dosage depends on a mix of factors, including:
- Your body weight and metabolism
- Your goals (Sleep? Stress? Intimacy?)
- Your tolerance and sensitivity to cannabinoids
- The strength of the gummy you're taking
That’s why it’s always smart to start low and go slow, especially if you're new to CBD. This is also where microdosing CBD comes into play—taking small, consistent amounts to gently build up your baseline. (Psst—learn more in our CBD Microdosing Guide.)
Recommended Starting Dosage for CBD Gummies
Here’s a beginner-friendly CBD dosage chart for gummies:
| Body Weight | Mild Effects | Moderate Effects | Strong Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 130 lbs | 5–10mg | 10–15mg | 15–20mg |
| 130–230 lbs | 10–15mg | 15–20mg | 20–30mg |
| Over 230 lbs | 15–20mg | 20–30mg | 30–40mg |
At Alchemy Naturals, we recommend most beginners start with 10–15mg of CBD and increasing from there as needed.
How Many CBD Gummies Should You Take Per Day?
It depends on your goals. Here’s a quick cheat sheet based on our CBD gummy collection:
- 😴 For sleep: 1 gummy 30–60 minutes before bed (try our Sleep Gummy with CBN)
- 🧘 For stress relief: 1 gummy during the day or as needed (our De-Stress Gummy is a fave)
- ❤️ For intimacy: 1 gummy 30–45 minutes before connection time (yes, it’s a thing—see our Intimacy Gummy)
- 🌞 For daily wellness: 1–2 gummies per day to support mood, immunity, and focus (the CBD-Multi, Daily or THC-Free are your go-to's here)
Listen to your body and adjust your dose gradually over a few days until you feel the effects you’re after.
Can You Take Too Many CBD Gummies?
Technically, CBD is well-tolerated even at higher doses—but more isn’t always better. Taking too much may lead to:
- Drowsiness
- Digestive discomfort
- Diminished effects over time
Stick to the recommended dosage, and always chat with a healthcare provider if you're on medications or have a medical condition.
Tips for Finding Your Ideal CBD Gummy Dosage
- Start with one gummy. Wait 60–90 minutes to feel the effects.
- Track your experience. Take notes on how you feel mentally and physically.
- Increase gradually. If needed, increase your dose by 5–10mg at a time.
- Be consistent. Daily use helps CBD build up in your system.
- Choose the right product. Full-spectrum? Broad-spectrum? Functional mushrooms? Explore all our gummies here.
