How strong should my CBD oil be?

CBD oil in different strengths

In our CBD oil webshop you will find various kinds of CBD oil. The strength of the oils varies from 2.5 per cent to 25 per cent. And if you make your own CBD oil? Then strengths above 60 per cent are certainly possible too. The following four strengths, though, are used most often by our customers:

  • 2.5 per cent
  • 5 per cent
  • 10 per cent
  • 25 per cent

2.5 per cent CBD oil

CBD oil with a content of 2.5% CBD is the lightest form of CBD oil. This is an ideal dose for people who are new to CBD or for people simply looking for a light addition. This light oil can also be used for pets.

CBD oil 5 per cent

CBD oil with 5% active compound (so cannabidiol, CBD for short) can be seen as a good dose for beginners. We ourselves recommend that adults who are not hypersensitive always start with 5%. With this strength you have a very mild effect, but enough to notice it clearly.

CBD oil 10 per cent

Do you choose CBD oil with 10% CBD? Then you have about 100 mg of CBD per ml of oil. This is a medium strength and for many people the perfect dose. This way you can determine the right amount fairly precisely, without needing a great many drops to take in enough.

25 per cent CBD

The most powerful formula available online contains 25% CBD. It is at the same time our most popular dose. Because of the high dose you only need a few drops. On top of that, this is also the type of oil that gives you the largest amount of CBD per euro. A nice bonus.

Which percentage of CBD do I need?

We hope we have helped you on your way in determining the right strength of CBD oil. Bear in mind that ultimately it is not about the percentage of your CBD oil, but about the total amount of CBD you take in. We advise starting with 1 mg of CBD per 5 kg of body weight per day, spread over three moments of intake. You can then increase this to about 6 mg of CBD per 5 kg.

Do you weigh 80 kg, for instance, and do you choose a medium CBD oil of 10 per cent? Then you start with 80/5 x 1 = 16 mg of CBD a day, which comes down to 4 drops a day (you will find the CBD content per drop on the product page). Do you choose a dose of 5 per cent, so half of 10 per cent? Then you take 8 drops a day, so double. And you can then increase that to 8 x 6, so 48 drops a day. Need help with the maths? Then do not hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to help.
