Hi Everyone! Wow, what an awesome ride. Here to start us off is the dosing recommendations that I suggest when beginning your HempWorx healing journey. I almost exclusively recommend starting most people on the sublingual drops of the full-spectrum 500mg hemp worx cbd oil. This allows immediate absorption, avoids the first-pass metabolism of orally ingested products, and offers infinite control as doses are determined by the number of drops used.
STARTING CBD: To start for adults who are CBD-naive, I recommend 3-5 drops placed under the tongue, held for 30 seconds, then swallowed. This dose should be taken 1-2x per day. Every 3rd day I recommend adding a single drop to the dose, titrating up slowly over several weeks. I usually have people get to 10 drops twice daily and continue that dose for 2 weeks before going upwards as it seems to be a nice point for many people. This dose can be escalated further if needed. Currently, I have several patients using a full dropper up to 4-5x daily. There is no "max dose" but the suggested ranges below can help with titration.
Generally, patients experience improvement in sleep, mood, and bowels first. It is not uncommon to have a detox/withdrawal type reaction for 3-4 days after beginning cbd with symptoms resembling a viral illness. If these are severe the dose can be decreased but we recommend increasing hydration and riding out the symptoms as they resolve quickly. Higher doses of cbd may be required for pain, seizures, or malignancies.

1oz. (30mL) Bottle = 1000 Drops
Full Dropper = 20 Drops = 1 serving which is 10-15mg of CBD depending on strength.
Starting Healthy Adult Dose: 3-5 drops under the tongue twice per day (morning / bedtime)
Starting Sensitive or Medically Sensitive Dose: 1-3 drops 1-2x per day. Some may be too sensitive even for this dose and may begin by touching the unloaded dropper to their tongue.
Remember, due to variations in each person's metabolism that CBD and cannabis dosing is VERY individualized! These recommendations are NOT meant to replace your doctor's recommendations for you or to diagnose or treat any medical condition. The key... start low, and go slow. Most people notice subtle change but after 1-2 weeks report an improvement in mood, sleep, daily functions, and bodily discomfort.

Drug Testing
Even though our products contain less than .3% THC by dry weight (Federal Legal Limit), studies have shown that ingesting Full Spectrum CBD can cause confirmed positive results when screening urine and blood specimens. Accordingly, if you are subject to any form of employment drug testing or screening, we recommend (as does the United States Armed Services) that you DO NOT take our products. Before taking our products, consult with your physician, drug screening testing company or employer.
