Larch Oil Dosage: What Works Best for You

If you’ve heard about Larch oil for skin, joint, or heart health, the first question is always "how much?" The answer isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. It depends on why you’re taking it, your body weight, and any other meds you use. Below we break down the basics so you can start with confidence.

Typical Starting Doses

Most experts suggest beginning with 1,000 mg (about one capsule) of Larch oil per day. This low dose lets your system get used to the oil without causing stomach upset. If you tolerate it well after a week, you can slowly raise the amount to 2,000 mg (two capsules) taken with food. Some people go up to 3,000 mg for specific skin or joint goals, but that’s usually after a month of steady use.

How to Adjust Your Dose

Watch how your body reacts. If you notice mild nausea, try splitting the dose – half in the morning, half at night. If you feel no benefit after two weeks, add 500 mg and keep a note of any side effects. The goal is to find the smallest amount that gives you results. Remember, more isn’t always better; excess can increase the risk of bleeding, especially if you’re on blood thinners.

When using Larch oil for skin, many users apply a few drops topically after a low oral dose. The combined approach can boost results without raising the oral amount. For heart support, keep the dose steady at 1,000–2,000 mg and check your cholesterol or blood pressure levels regularly.

Safety Tips and Red Flags

Always buy Larch oil from a reputable source. Look for cold‑pressed, unrefined oil with a clear expiration date. Avoid products that list artificial additives or fillers.

If you’re pregnant, nursing, or have a bleeding disorder, talk to a doctor before starting. Symptoms like unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding, or a sudden drop in blood pressure mean you should stop and seek medical advice.

Don’t mix Larch oil with high doses of omega‑3 fish oil or other blood‑thinning supplements unless your healthcare provider says it’s okay. The combined effect can be too strong.
