CBD Oil Benefits and CBD Oil Strengths

What are CBD oil Benefits? What CBD Oil Strength Should I Use?

If you are shopping for the perfect CBD Oil, we have to warn you, it could be challenging. CBD oil labels these days talk about either the CBD oil strength or the CBD oil benefits. If you have never taken CBD oil before, it could be tough finding out what CBD oil strength will work best for you. Our products at Pure Organic CBD range from 300 mg which is for small pets, all the way up to our strongest CBD Oil of 4000 mg the strongest CBD oil strength available in the UK.

The problem is, if you are just starting out, the numbers don’t really mean much. Milligrams and percentages printed on labels and on websites don’t exactly answer the most important question; Which CBD oil is right for me?

In this article we will help you understand all of it. This way you will always have a point of reference. We will explain:

• What the difference is in CBD oil strengths.
• CBD oil concentrations and what they really mean.
• Why the oil concentrations matter.
• How the benefits relate to the CBD oil Strengths.
• And how you can use this information to find the perfect CBD oil for you.

CBD Oil Strengths: A Full Explanation

If you look at the CBD oil shop on our website, you will see that we stock a number of strengths. As mentioned above, we carry from a 300mg CBD oil to a 4000mg CBD oil. It is important to ask some questions in order to understand what CBD oil strengths mean.

What Does the Large Number Mean On CBD Packaging?

When you are shopping for CBD oils in the UK, you should always read the label carefully. You want to make sure how much CBD Oil is actually in the product so that you know how much to take.

As an example, if you are looking at our 1000mg Full Spectrum CBD oil, the “1000mg” refers to how much CBD is in the entire bottle. So this number will tell you how much CBD you would take if you used the whole bottle in one go. But, we completely advise against that as it would be wasteful and not very effective in helping your needs.

It would be best to read the packaging where we clearly have the amount of CBD you would receive in each droplet. We also have our SpecWheel™ indicators on each product page to help you further breakdown the value of the CBD Oil, the price per drop, the price per mg and the amount of mg in each drop.

To further our example, we can see that our SpecWheel™ on the 1000mg Full Spectrum CBD product says that each droplet contains 5mg of pure CBD. This is very important information in order to find the correct amount you should take everyday. Granted, everyone is different and there is no one size fits all solution, but it is important to know the exact amount that works for you because it allows you to monitor your progress and save money.

Are the Milligrams Referring to Pure CBD?

To start answering this question, there are tonnes of CBD oil companies in the UK and not all of them use the same formula so you will encounter differences in the potency of CBD oil.

There are some companies still using CBD isolate for their products which has been proven not as effective when compared to Full Spectrum or Broad Spectrum CBD. Using an isolate does allow for exact control over the amount of PureCBD in each bottle, but as mentioned, CBD isolates lack additional CBD terpenes and cannabinoids like CBC, CBG and CBN. These additional cannabinoids help the CBD interact with the body and provide additional therapeutic benefits.

Having a full plant extract as the base for CBD oil is best. All of the products we sell here at Pure Organic CBD start as a full plant extract as we’ve found this to provide the highest quality products right from the start. We use precise lab equipment to accurately measure the potency of every batch we create so that we can confidently say on the bottle how much pure CBD is inside.

To recap, the milligrams on the labels of our products refer to the amount of pure CBD. All of the extra terpenes and cannabinoids included are just the benefits of using a full plant extract. There are even some companies that outright advertise that their products contain “extra” things like CBG and CBC. We find this bad practise as a real quality product should include these by default. It’s kind of like saying “New microwave now with extra lightbulb”. The light bulb should be part of a quality microwave and not mentioned as an “extra”.

What are the Delivery Methods for CBD Products?

We don’t mean how the CBD you order will be delivered haha. Instead, we mean how the CBD will enter the body and start to work. There are three ways CBD oil can be delivered to the body. Each delivery method can have profound impacts on CBD oil Strength.

The three ways CBD oil can enter your system are: absorption through a mucous membrane, swallowing and absorption through the skin. In each method, some of the pure CBD concentration gets broken down before it can actually get to your bloodstream. The percentage of the CBD that makes its way into the bloodstream determines the oil’s bioavailability.

Precise bioavailability really depends on your own metabolism, but here is a general guide:

Absorbing CBD Through a Mucous Membrane (Like under your tongue)

Absorbing CBD through the mucous membranes like under the tongue is the most common way to take CBD oil. We always recommend this delivery method as it is the most effective and really boasts bioavailability. To achieve the best results, place the drops under your tongue and hold them there for 2 to 3 minutes.

Using absorption through the mucous membranes has the highest bioavailability which means you will absorb more of what you paid for, the CBD. Also, once the CBD enters the bloodstream this way, it tends to be present for hours.

Ingesting CBD

Taking CBD by ingesting it is becoming a more popular method. People like the convenience of just taking a capsule. You may also put a few drops in a cup of tea or water and drink it as normal.

Swallowing CBD is not recommended by our team here at Pure Organic CBD. When you swallow CBD oil it gets broken down in the gut. Studies have shown that you are only absorbing about 7% of the CBD this way. Although there is a big loss in Pure CBD absorption, some people prefer swallowing CBD because it lasts for at least 7 hours. In our opinion, You may only want to use it this way if you have a problem with the taste of CBD oil.

Using CBD Oil as a Topical

Using CBD oil as a topical is a very common way of taking advantage of some of the benefits CBD oil provides. Topicals do not enter the bloodstream but they do engage the endocannabinoid receptors located on the skin. Our CBD pain relieving gel helps calm pain locally by reducing inflammation and redness. It also works great for acne.

All you have to do to make your own CBD topical is add one or two drops of CBD oil to your favorite cream or gel. Mix it up and apply as you normally would. We know you’ll love the way our oils make your skin feel silky and smooth, pair that with the benefits of CBD oil and you’re sure to be happy.

What Strength CBD Oil Should I Use?

This is probably the most important question and unfortunately, there is not a single answer that works for every person. CBD research has been extensive over the past few years, but more is needed to be able to thoroughly answer this question. But fear not, there are plenty of factors that science knows do play a part. Here is a list:

Your Body Size Matters for the CBD Oil’s Potency

Pure CBD works in the same way as most anything else you consume. The bigger you are, the more you usually need to have an effect. We purposely keep our pet CBD oils at lower amounts like 300 mg CBD oil for cats or, for large dogs, 600 mg. Pets are usually pretty small when compared to human proportions and therefore do not need a high dosage. On the other hand, a human that is over 100kg will benefit from a stronger potency like our 2000mg 20% Full Spectrum CBD oil.

 Our CBD Oil Potency Options

• Lower-Potency Pets CBD Oil (300mg to 600mg) As mentioned above, pets generally do not need large amounts of CBD. That is why we’ve formulated our Pet CBD oil at 300 mg and 600 mg. Our Pet CBD oils are flavoured with Salmon Oil and delicious for any household mammal.
• Lower-Potency CBD for Humans (500 mg) Our 5% 500mg CBD oil is perfect for smaller people under 120 pounds. It is also great for people who are especially sensitive to medications or CBD if they’ve tried it. For anyone who is looking to use CBD for general wellness, mild anxiety or mild sleep issues, our 500 mg CBD is perfect.
• Middle-Potency (1000-2000 mg) This is usually the sweet spot for most people that take CBD. Our 10% and 20% CBD oil products are our bestsellers for a reason. This range is perfect for people who weigh a bit more or need a little more CBD per dose to realise the effects.
• High-Strength CBD (4000 mg) We carry the strongest CBD oil on the market in the UK. Our 40% strength combines high-strength with excellent value. This CBD is for major sleep issues or people who are having a tough time with anything less potent.

If you are not sure which camp you fall into, we suggest you start low and go slow. Work your way up in 5 mg increments until you find the CBD amount that works for you. Here we will break down how much CBD is in each drop of our products.

CBD potency index for Pure Organic CBD products.

• 300 mg – 1.5 mg of pure CBD per drop (pets)
• 500 mg – 2.5 mg of pure CBD per drop
• 600 mg- 3 mg of pure CBD per drop (pets)
• 1000 mg – 5 mg of pure CBD per drop
• 2000 mg – 10 mg of pure CBD per drop
• 4000 mg – 20 mg of pure CBD per drop

For Some People, CBD Results Can Take a Bit of Time

Moving on to the next section, we look at another thing we do know about how CBD interacts with the body. CBD accumulates in our body and stores itself in fatty tissue. The longer you take CBD, the more of it you will have stored. There are some people ( the lucky ones) that notice CBD’s effects after just one dose. There are others that may need to continuously take CBD for a week.

This is the primary reason why we recommend people just starting CBD oil to go low and slow. You may have noticed that the lower the concentration, the lower the price. If you feel the effects from a low concentration, you could save yourself money as well. Most people start with a 1000mg product. This seems to be the right balance of cost and pure CBD. We recommend taking drops in the morning and the evening and to monitor how you feel. Gradually increase or decrease the amount of drops as needed.

In all fairness, you should notice benefits after your first month. You have to give the CBD oil a chance to saturate the body and store up in quantities that are useful. The most important thing to realise is that CBD in the beginning takes time. Please, do yourself a favour and be patient. Allow the CBD to take its natural course and stick to it. Remember, consistency is the key.

Starting Your Own Daily CBD Habit

An important factor to consider when you start taking CBD oil is why you are taking it. What CBD oil benefits you want influences what product you should choose. Factors in your life like stress or pain can also influence your outcome. We recommend having a daily CBD regimen so that you stay on track and give the CBD oil a fair chance. A tip to know is during times of increased mental or physical stress your usage may increase. It is important to try and taper it down again over time.

Best Known CBD Oil Benefits

Here is a list of some of the best known CBD oil Benefits and a brief overview for the main topics like wellness, anxiety and sleep.

• General wellness
• Better sleep
• Help feeling tired at night around bedtime
• More Calmness throughout the day
• Help manage stress and anxiety
• Help with pain from strenuous exercise or over exertion
• To soothe or moisturize the skin.

CBD Oil for General Wellness

The best way to create a daily CBD routine is to implement your CBD oil dose into habits you already have. Personally, I take CBD oil right after I brush my teeth. We all brush our teeth at least twice a day and surly right after waking up and right before bed. I found this method perfect because I don’t forget to take CBD oil and I am taking it at the right times for my needs.

When you take CBD oil after brushing your teeth, you are allowing the CBD to enter the bloodstream quickly. When you brush your teeth, you rough up the gums and create microscopic cuts on the surface. Applying CBD at this time allows the CBD oil to take advantage of this environment and get into the bloodstream easier. Try it yourself!

CBD Oil for Exercise or Muscle Recovery

If you’re leading an active lifestyle, or trying to improve your physical health through activity or exercise, CBD oil is a great choice. If you are just in pain or have arthritis, keep reading as the benefits do all overlap. CBD oil works with the body and the mind to relieve chronic pain. If you are targeting pain and looking to use CBD oil, consider using a stronger potency like our 1000mg Full Spectrum CBD or our 2000mg Full Spectrum CBD oil. Both options are great for relieving pain in joints and muscles.

As mentioned earlier, you must consider your weight. If you are more than 100kg, you will be better off starting with a stronger product like the 2000mg CBD oil. If you find that just a few drops works great and would like to step down to a lower concentration, be sure to factor in any cost savings you may be missing out on choosing a lower concentration. We’ve designed our prices to be discounted on the higher strength oils.

CBD Oil for Sleep

There are numerous reasons why a person’s sleep pattern may be in bad shape. The most popular are stress, worry, anxiety and physical pain. Taking CBD oil can help your circadian rhythm and restore your restful cycle.

Most people find that CBD oil enhances their sleep. The great thing is, if you are taking CBD oil for pain an improved sleep pattern is an extra benefit. If you really think about it, most sleep related issues stem from other issues like stress, worry or anxiety. Breaking the cycle in one of these ailments can help you in other ailments.

We recommend a modest strength CBD oil for sleep. Usually, if all you want is better sleep and general wellness, our 500 mg 5% Full Spectrum CBD is perfect. Again, if you are a bit bigger, try stepping up to the 1000 mg 10% CBD oil.
