How strong should my CBD oil be?

What the ideal strength of your CBD oil is depends on your experience and your body's needs. You can read all about it in this article.
CBD oil comes in different strengths, that is, with different percentages of CBD in it. So how do you decide for yourself what percentage you need? The answer to that question is not so simple, and depends on the total amount of CBD your body needs. Nevertheless, there are certainly guidelines for determining the ideal dose of CBD for your oil. In this article, we provide an overview of the different strengths and in what situations they are appropriate. At the bottom of the article you will find more info on the total amount you can take.

CBD oil with different strengths

In our CBD oil webshop, you will find different types of CBD oil. The strength of the oils ranges from 2.5 percent to 25 percent. And do you make your own CBD oil? Then strengths up to more than 60 percent are certainly also possible. However, the following four strengths are most often used by our customers:

  • 2.5 percent
  • 5 percent
  • 10 percent
  • 25 percent

2.5 percent CBD oil

CBD oil at 2.5% CBD is the lightest form of CBD oil. This is an ideal dosage for people who are new to CBD or for those just looking for a light support. This light oil can also be used with children or pets.

CBD oil 5 percent

CBD oil with 5% active ingredient (i.e. cannabidiol, CBD for short), can be seen as a fine dosage for beginners. Personally, we recommend adults who are not hypersensitive to always start with 5%. With this strength, you will have a very mild effect, but enough to notice it well.

CBD oil 10 percent

Do you choose CBD oil with 10% CBD? Then you will have about 100 mg of CBD per ml of oil. This is an average strength and for many people with average complaints also the perfect dose. This way you can accurately determine the right amount, without having to drip too much to get enough.

25 percent CBD

The most potent formula available online contains 25% CBD. At the same time, this is also our most popular dosage. This is because the high dosage makes this oil very effective, even with few drops. In addition, this is also the type of oil where you get the largest amount of CBD per euro. Also a nice bonus!

What percentage of CBD do I need?

Hopefully we were able to get you started in determining the right strength CBD oil. Keep in mind that ultimately what matters is not the percentage of your CBD oil, but the total amount of CBD you are ingesting. We recommend starting with 1 mg CBD per 5 kg body weight per day, spread over three intake intervals. You can then increase this to about 6 mg of CBD per 5 kg.

For example, do you weigh 80 kg and choose an average CBD oil of 10 percent? Then you start with 80/5 x 1 = 16 mg of CBD per day, which amounts to 4 drops (the CBD content per drop can be found on the product page per day. Do you choose a dosage of 5 percent, or half of 10 percent? Then you take 8 drops per day, or double that. And you can then increase that to 8 x 6, or 48 drops per day. Need help with math?
