Not sure where to start with CBD? You’re not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong. In fact, there’s a growing trend among CBD lovers and first-timers alike: microdosing.
No, we’re not talking about mushrooms (that’s a different blog). Microdosing CBD simply means taking small, consistent doses throughout the day to support balance, clarity, and calm — without going overboard or feeling sluggish.
At Alchemy Naturals, we’re big believers in the start low, go slow philosophy. It’s not just smart — it’s where the magic happens.
What Is Microdosing CBD?
Microdosing means taking sub-perceptual amounts of CBD — doses small enough that you don’t “feel” a major shift, but your body may respond in more subtle, cumulative ways over time. Think of it like a wellness drizzle instead of a waterfall.
Instead of one big gummy or dropper-full, people who microdose often:
- Start with 5–10mg of CBD
- Take it 1–3 times per day
- Adjust gradually based on how they feel
It’s a great approach for people who want to:
- Ease into CBD gently
- Avoid drowsiness or overstimulation
- Keep a consistent flow of support throughout the day
Why People Are Microdosing CBD
Everyone’s endocannabinoid system is a little different (kind of like your coffee order). That’s why microdosing has become a popular way to find a sweet spot that works for your unique body, lifestyle, and wellness goals.
Here are a few reasons microdosing might appeal to you:
It’s Beginner-Friendly
New to CBD? Microdosing lets you get to know how your body responds without diving into a high dose right away.
It’s All About Balance
Instead of “spiking” your system with a big serving, microdosing may support more steady, all-day wellness.
It Can Be Customized
Feeling stressed in the afternoon? Add a second small dose. Sleeping better after your evening gummy? Stick to that rhythm.
How to Start Microdosing CBD
1. Choose a Reliable, Clearly Dosed Product
We recommend starting with a full-spectrum gummy or tincture that offers a predictable amount of CBD per serving. Our gummies are a great choice — you can even cut them in half if you want to start extra low.
2. Pick Your Starting Dose
Try 5–10mg of CBD in the morning. Stick with this for a few days to see how you feel.
3. Track Your Response
Note how your body and mind respond. Feeling more even-keeled? Great! Still unsure? Try a second small dose later in the day.
4. Adjust Gradually
Every few days, increase your total daily dose by 5–10mg until you hit your ideal level. Most people land between 15–50mg per day, depending on their goals.
Example Microdosing Schedules
Time of Day | Amount | Notes |
---|---|---|
Morning | 5–10mg | Support focus or calm |
Afternoon | 5–10mg | Midday stress or tension |
Evening | 5–15mg | Promote relaxation or better sleep |
