The first step in making sure you’re taking the right dosage of cannabidiol, cannabinol, or cannabigerol is to determine exactly how much of each of these hemp extracts is in a dose.
With so many different products on the market, this can seem like a difficult task, but it doesn’t have to be.
Most manufacturers will provide you with information that includes how much CBD, CBN, or CBG is in the entire bottle, and some bottle labels will also include specific information about how many milligrams are in a single dropper dose, capsule, or gummy.
Softgel capsules and gummies tend to be fairly straightforward, with a specific milligram amount for how much each of them will contain.
Oils, however, can be a bit confusing.
To find how much of a particular extract is in your bottle, simply take the total amount of extract (such as CBD) in the bottle, usually depicted with something like CBD 750MG, CBD 1500MG, CBD 3000MG, etc., and divide this total amount of extract by the number of total milliliters in the bottle.
Most bottles are one ounce of oil, or 30 milliliters.
With this information, you can calculate the amount per dose using a simple formula wherein you divide the total amount of extract in milligrams by the total amount of milliliters.
In the case of 1500MG, there are 1,500 milligrams of CBD. Divide this number by 30 milliliters (total amount of extract oil in the bottle), and your result will be 50 milligrams of CBD per 1 milliliter.
