Cbd oil and fatty liver is not a good combination, the oils are rich in fat and can increase more fat around the liver. I have read that taking to much can increase or cause liver damage. Cbd does have its good uses, but careful not to take to much.

A lot of things cause liver damage with alcohol and over the counter drugs being two of the main contributors.
Scientists claim that taking too much CBD in high quantities could lead to liver damage, however this really is dependent on the individuals liver function and other life style factors.
A past CBD study conducted on mice concluded that the mice generally tolerated the CBD, however where there were high doses the were sometimes negative effects. The key really is moderation as is the case with most other substances including alcohol, over the counter medications and CBD oil included.

Despite studies show a lot of advantages of CBD treatment for certain health issues, research has found that extremely high doses of CBD oil could result to damage of liver, yet, it is still early to tell. It may sound potentially dangerous, but most specialists say that there is no need to worry or panic.

It really depends on the individual’s body and how it processes hemp, as well as the dosage you’re taking. If you’re following recommended dosage guidelines, there is little to no risk to your health. If, however, you are consuming very large amounts of hemp, you may start to notice adverse side effects, including liver damage.

Hemp is metabolized by your liver so it could be a problem. But some others say it helps liver damage. Small doses seem to be the key to it. Mostly it needs a lot more research (imagine that!) because liver damage is serious. I don’t know how you can check to see if your liver is okay while you use it though. Maybe a naturopath?

Cbd oil cause liver damage simple answer YES, to much of it can. Again I would consult with a doctor on what dosage of cbd oil can cause liver damage.

In small doses you should be fine for the most part, as other people have said you can check with your doctor or also read medical journals / papers to get more info

Like a few have mentioned above, there was a study at U Arkansas that purported to show that CBD poses a threat to liver health… This, like many other flawed studies, shows harmful results in mice…. but what’s failing to be taken into consideration here, is, proportionally, the doses administered are nearly 100x the recommended use! Of course that’s going to cause damage! If you ingest anything at that high a rate, there will be potentially deadly side effects. Project CBD is a non-profit who seeks to present trustworthy science-based evidence regarding the use of CBD… They’ve been referenced in a few articles on Leafly about such studies, and I think it’s important to base opinions on numerous studies, rather than just one.
And, just to add… in the mainstream clinical and medical world, there is some degree of distaste for medical marijuana and CBD… my hot take here is that it poses a significant threat to the otherwise immortal and lucrative pharmaceutical industry. Just flick on your television and within minutes, you will undoubtedly see numerous drug advertisements where the potential side effects will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up… but, why isn’t there more pushback about wide use of those? I don’t want to go too far down the pharma-conspiracy rabbit hole here, but it’s just something to think about… Also–Tylenol can cause liver damage, but we’re not questioning its efficacy…

Here is what you need to ask yourself what dosage of cbd oil can cause liver damage or can long term cbd oil use cause liver damage. One start is lookup cbd liver damage, symptoms of liver damage, and so on. In any case, one should always ask his doctor.

It looks like it can cause liver damage, I found this from a research article on the topic:
Citing a “lack of comprehensive toxicological studies devoted to CBD safety that are critical for further marketing of CBD and CBD-containing products,” researchers from the University of Arkansas investigated the effects of treatments of various doses of CBD on a group of 8-week-old mice.
While the mice largely tolerated the CBD, those given the highest doses — a human equivalent to 200 milligrams (mg) of CBD — showed clear signs of liver toxicity, the researchers found.
In addition, repeated doses of a smaller amount of CBD — the human equivalent of around 50 mg — also showed signs of liver swelling and damage.
“Although (a dose of) 200 mg is not applicable to most real-life scenarios, it does provide critical information regarding the potential consequences of CBD overdose as well as for doses needed for further subchronic and chronic toxicity studies,” the authors, publishing in the journal Molecules, wrote.

Definitely consult a doctor if you have concerns but i haven’t heard anything about CBD causing liver damage.
Researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences recently rolled up their sleeves to investigate CBD hepatotoxicity. What they found was while this cannabis derivative is gaining significant recognition as of late in the world of wellness, people that use CBD are at an elevated risk for liver toxicity.
