Intrigued by the naturally innovative world of CBD oil, but not quite sure where to start?

We’ve put together a guide on the best CBD oils, including real reviews from our customers, to help you find one that will suit you.

First things first, what is CBD oil?

CBD oil, cannabidiol, is naturally present in hemp plants that are cultivated for nutritional use. It’s made by transforming hemp flowers and leaves into a ‘paste’ and extracting the CBD from it.¹

REGT – CBD mint flavoured spray – 5/5 stars “Effective and controllable. The mint flavour is subtle and pleasant.”

GD1968 – Refreshing mint taste – 5/5 stars “I bought this in store and I am a regular CBD user. It has a refreshing taste which is what I was looking for as I do not enjoy the normal taste of CBD, I also liked the plastic seal around the cap which gave me comfort that it could not have been tampered with.”

RachL123 – Exceeds expectation – 5/5 stars “Bought this as I didn't like the taste of the normal oil. The mint taste is really nice and fresh and has no unpleasant aftertaste. Will definitely be using this from now on.”

How to use CBD safely

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), here in the UK recommends that healthy adults (with an average body weight of 70kg) don’t consume more than 10mg of CBD per day - that’s about 4-5 drops of 5% CBD oil.² It is important to always check the product and never exceed the daily recommended dose as stated on the label. If you weigh less than 70kg you should consume less CBD oil.

CBD is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, prospective parents trying for a baby or by people taking medication. Before using any CBD products, it’s also best to check with your GP that they are safe for you to use and to make sure they don’t interact with any medication being taken.

What is the best CBD oil dosage?

If you haven’t used a CBD oil before, it’s recommended that you start with a lower potency product and a smaller dose.

You may want to start with a dose that is smaller than 10mg, and slowly increase over a period of time, making sure to never exceed the safe recommendation stated on the product label. If you want to calculate this for yourself, multiply your body weight in kg by 0.15 e.g. 60kg x 0.15 = 9mg per day.
