How to use CBD drops: dosing step by step

In short: for PHIX drops, the manufacturer states 0.25–0.5 ml (9–18 drops) under the tongue, held for 30–60 seconds and then swallowed, with regular use for at least 14 days. Always follow the instructions on the label of the product you bought.

Step by step

• Shake the bottle before use.
• Measure the dose with the dropper: 0.25 ml is about 9 drops.
• Place it under the tongue and hold for 30–60 seconds.
• Swallow.

The manufacturer says the drops can be taken in the morning, in the evening or as needed, and that the dose can be adjusted. If you are new to CBD, start with the lower dose.

How much CBD is in one dose

The same 0.25 ml holds very different amounts of CBD, depending on the strength:

• PHIX Immunity (3%): about 7.5 mg CBD.
• PHIX Focus (5%): about 12.5 mg CBD.
• PHIX Sleep (10% CBD + 5% CBN): about 25 mg CBD and 12.5 mg CBN.
• PHIX Premium (14%): about 35 mg CBD.
• PHIX O’Pain (15%): about 37.5 mg CBD.
• PHIX Nerves (25%): about 62.5 mg CBD.

A 10 ml bottle holds around 40 doses of 0.25 ml.

Two exceptions

• PHIX Immunity: 0.25 ml also contains 55 µg (2,200 IU) of vitamin D3, so do not exceed that dose or combine it with other vitamin D supplements.
• PHIX Therapy paste: it is dosed with the applicator, not in drops. Two turns give 0.1 ml, about 30 mg CBD and 30 mg CBG.

Storage

Keep the bottle in a cool, dark and dry place, out of the reach of children.

What to watch out for

CBD products are not medicines, and this guide is not medical advice. If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor first.
