The Deal with the Dose
In general, human dosages range anywhere between 20 and 1500 milligrams (mg) per day. But determining where your dosage falls within this range depends on a variety of factors, including:
Body weight
The condition you are treating
Your sensitivity level
Other medications you may be taking
The concentration of CBD in the product
With all of these variables to consider, it is recommended that you talk with your doctor about an appropriate dosage and potential risks. If your doctor tells you how much to use, stick to their recommendation. If not, it is best to start with a small dosage and gradually increase it. For example, some start with 20mg per day, and gradually increase this amount by 5mg a week until they feel their symptoms are being treated.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month - a time to share resources and information to shed light on this tragic yet highly stigmatized topic. We encourage you to use this month to reach out to those affected by suicide and raise awareness about treatment methods and services.
Mental health issues are rising among adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While measures like social distancing and work from home are proven to reduce the spread, the CDC says the “potential for adverse outcomes on suicide risk is high”.
Can CBD Help Treat COVID-19?
As we continue to see coronavirus outbreaks around the world, we are growing more and more eager for a cure to this novel disease. As research continues to develop, quite unconventional candidates have been identified as potential treatments to COVID-19.
While CBD has been used since the beginning of the pandemic to relieve stress, research is suggesting that CBD could have an even more powerful impact in the treatment of COVID-19. A recent study from researchers at The University of Nebraska and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute suggests that CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties could help fight the acute infection that is associated with Cytokine Superstorm, which contributes to the many symptoms of COVID-19.
