Finding the Right Balance: Optimal and Safe CBD Dosages for Consumption

CBD Consumption Study Results

In October 2016, researchers analyzed data from clinical trials in humans and toxicity studies in animal models. The aim was to establish safe and acceptable daily intake levels of CBD for various populations. The findings are as follows:

1. Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for General Population:

   • ADI for the general population is set at 0.43 milligrams of CBD per kilogram of body weight per day (mg/kg BW/day).
   • Translated, this is approximately 30 mg of CBD per day for an average adult weighing 70 kilograms (154 pounds).
   • The ADI is designed to cover lifelong exposure to CBD from all sources, including food, and considers even the most vulnerable populations, including children.

2. Upper Limit (UL) for CBD in Healthy Adults Using CBD Dietary Supplements:

   • For healthy adults considering CBD dietary supplements with clear and accurate product labels, the maximum recommended daily intake (UL) is set at 70 mg of CBD per day.

The study provides valuable in-depth information on the safe use of CBD for various population groups.

• For the Majority of Adults:

  • Daily CBD intake up to 30 mg is considered acceptable throughout life, whether obtained from food or supplements.
  • It is crucial to follow product labeling and usage recommendations.

• Specific Recommendation for CBD Dietary Supplement Users:

  • For healthy adults, the suggested upper limit is 70 mg per day, while alternative options at 100 mg per day may be considered.
  • This information serves as a foundation for informed decisions on CBD use, instilling confidence in a safe experience.

However, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or specialist before considering prolonged and high-dose CBD use for the best possible outcome.
