Milligram (mg) Explained

Milligrams measure the quantity of CBD in a product. For example, a bottle may contain 500 mg of CBD. This value represents the total active cannabidiol in the entire bottle or per serving, depending on labeling.

Knowing the mg is crucial for determining how much CBD you are consuming per dose and achieving the intended effect safely.

Milliliter (mL) Explained

Milliliters measure the liquid volume of the CBD oil. For instance, a 30 mL bottle contains 30 milliliters of liquid, which may include carrier oils like MCT or hemp seed oil. The mL value helps you understand serving sizes and dosing drops, but it does not indicate CBD strength by itself.

Calculating CBD Per Dose

To determine how much CBD is in each mL of oil:

• Divide the total mg of CBD in the bottle by the total mL of liquid.
  Example: 500 mg ÷ 30 mL = ~16.6 mg CBD per 1 mL
• Use this number to measure your desired dose accurately.

Using a dropper marked in mL makes it easy to calculate how much CBD you take each day.

Importance for Australian Consumers

Accurate dosing is particularly important in Australia due to prescription regulations and variable product strengths. Misunderstanding mg vs mL can lead to underdosing or accidental overconsumption, which could reduce efficacy or cause mild side effects.

Always check the product label and calculate your dose carefully, considering your body weight, metabolism, and intended benefits.

Tips for Accurate CBD Dosing

• Use a calibrated dropper to measure mL precisely.
• Start with a low mg dose and gradually increase until desired effects are achieved.
• Track your responses in a journal to identify the optimal dose.
• Consult a healthcare provider if you take other medications.
