How to find your hemp oil serving size: a beginner's guide

The most common question we get is some version of "how much should I take?" There is no single right answer, because everyone is different, but there is a simple method that works for most people.

Start low and go slow

Begin with a small amount, give it a few days, and adjust gradually until you find what feels right for you. Changing one thing at a time makes it much easier to notice what is actually working.

Read the label in mg, not drops

Every Kurativ oil tells you how much hemp extract is in a full 1ml dropper:

  • 3000mg bottle (1 fl oz): 100mg per 1ml dropper
  • 6000mg bottle (2 fl oz): 100mg per 1ml dropper, twice as many servings
  • 12000mg bottle (4 fl oz): 100mg per 1ml dropper, four times as many servings

Our droppers are marked, so a quarter dropper is roughly 25mg and a half dropper is roughly 50mg. Starting with a quarter or half dropper is a common place to begin.

Hold it under the tongue

Dispense the oil under your tongue and hold it there for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. Our oils are blended with organic MCT oil, a carrier your body absorbs well.

Be consistent

Many people find a daily routine, taken at the same time each day, works better than taking it now and then. Keep a simple note of how much you took and when for the first couple of weeks.

Talk to your doctor

If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, talk with your physician before use.
