We recommend a few best ways for taking hemp extract oil: sublingually (under the tongue), Topically, or as an Inhalant (Vaporizing).  Also, the 250mg ( Strong Paws) is perfectly acceptable for human consumption as the 1000mg ( Extra Strong) is perfectly acceptable for animal consumption. The 3000mg and 5000mg also contain the same ingredients and is great for people that take higher doses and is also suitable for larger animals.Place drops under the tongue and let it sit for up to 60 seconds before ingesting. Suggested Dose: Recovery Drops - MCT oil and Full Spectrum CBD (dropper = 1ml)The recovery drops can be vaped, but are not marketed as such They can be applied directly onto a sore body part or mixed with your own lotion All of our sublingual drops: 5000mg, 3000mg,1000mg, 2,000mg and 250mg are the same ingredientsIf you choose to take with food, the bioavailability may be reduced by up to 50%Dosing is measured by single droplet and not full dropperHere is a brief dosing guide that works the best for the majority of our customers.(1,000mg) - Each drop is roughly 4mg(3,000mg) - Each drop is roughly 6mg(5,000mg) - Each drop is roughly 10mg(250mg) aka Strong Paws - Each drop is roughly 1mg, while a whole dropper is roughly 16.5mgFor general health: 5-15 mg CBD twice dailyFor small aches/ pain/ anxiety: 10-20 mg twice dailyFor specific pain, injury, anxiety (ailment): 25-40 mg twice dailyFor extreme pain/ ailments: 50mg+ twice dailySeizures/ Chemotherapy/ Extreme cases: 100mg+ mg twice dailyAs a starter we suggest the 1,000mg Recovery Drops and taking 2 - 3 drops (not a full dropper) twice daily for a consistent week or two. You may increase or decrease accordingly after that. One person could need 1 mg of CBD while another could need 100 mg. Each person is different and has different tolerances per their specific body chemistry so the amount would depend on you. As always we suggest for medical advice, to contact your primary doctor and get their professional opinion.
