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. For pets you use special oil without THC and terpenes.

CBD oil 5 per cent

CBD oil with 5% CBD (cannabidiol) can be seen as a good dose for beginners. We ourselves recommend that adults who are not hypersensitive always start with 5%. With about 2 mg of CBD per drop you can dose precisely.

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 and common strength. 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 highest strength in our range is 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.

Frequently asked questions about CBD oil strength

How many drops of CBD oil can you take per day?

That depends on the percentage, because what matters is the total amount of CBD you take in. One drop of 5% oil contains about 2 mg of CBD, one drop of 10% about 4 mg. Start low, for example with 2 to 3 drops of 5% CBD oil, and stick to the dosage on the label.

Has CBD oil been proven to work?

No. No health claims have been approved for CBD in the European Union, so we do not say what CBD does for you. A higher percentage does not change that: it only tells you how much CBD is in the oil. What you can compare is on the label: the percentage, full or broad spectrum, the carrier oil and whether there is a lab report per batch.

What do you feel after taking CBD oil?

It will not get you high: legal CBD oil contains less than 0.05% THC, whether it is 2.5% or 25%. We do not say what else CBD does for you, because no health claims have been approved for CBD in the European Union.

What should you not combine with CBD oil?

CBD can affect how certain medicines work, whatever the strength of your oil. If you take medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use CBD.

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. Start low, for example with 2 to 3 drops of 5% CBD oil, and stick to the dose on the label.

Not sure which strength suits you, for example 5% or a 10 per cent CBD oil? Then do not hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to help.
