The protocol

Start low. Go slow. Stay consistent.

Start with one capsule of the lowest available dose (typically 10–25 mg CBD) once daily with food. Reassess after 5–7 days; the steady-state effect of capsules is what you're judging, not a single dose.

Practical tips

What clinicians tell their patients to actually do.

  1. Take at the same time daily — capsules reward routine.

  2. Take with a meal containing some fat to improve absorption.

  3. Don't open or split standardized softgels — dosing isn't even inside.

  4. Track with a simple weekly outcome scale to see drift over a month.

  5. If switching from a tincture, expect onset to be slower but duration longer.
