The rise of CBD
CBD Oils, supplements, CBD vape & CBD skincare products with active hemp extracts in them have risen to prominence over the past decade. CBD is a miracle compound naturally found in hemp, and it is used to support an active lifestyle, as a before and after workout supplement to support recovery and athletic training, in combination with hyaluronic acid and vitamin serums to enhance your skincare routine, CBD oils for daily aches and pains and to help you drift off to sleep.
CBD Hemp products
CBD oil has become the low hanging fruit for many with it being legal in many countries worldwide simply over the counter. CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in hemp, it is now being used as an isolated compound in thousands of products.
CBD works differently in every person, the same way alcohol does. Some people need very little for the effect, some need a lot, the size of the person also changes its efficacy along with many other mitigating factors. When people are looking for the product right for them, some of the key search terms people are CBD oil for anxiety, CBD for pain & CBD for Sleep. But often people just search for “high strength CBD Oils online” as they think the higher the strength the better. We are going to take a look through this and help provide a guide as to what ‘high strength CBD oil’ means, and how that can actually be quite vague.
Principles of Dr Watson
Dr Watson CBD products have a range to suit all, we have some CBD Isolate based products and Broad Spectrum / Full Spectrum CBD oils available online. While we do offer lower strength CBD products, our principle is to not go to a low point as to where we do not believe the product can have any reasonable desired effect. With our lowest strength CBD oil online being 1000mg, with many other brands starting at 250mg-500mg, in saying this, our 1000mg is also in line with pricing for most brands 500mg oils, giving much better value for money on products made with the highest quality extracts.
What constitutes a high strength CBD oil?
Many people just view a Strong CBD product based on the milligram dosage written on the packaging. But what might be a very high number may not be the best product for you. A high mg number on a bottle in black and white terms would be considered a high strength CBD oil, but that does not necessarily make a product strong or effective.
So what constitutes a ‘strong’ CBD oil?
In the UK & EU where regulations are coming into force this year regarding food supplement products such as CBD oils, Chocolates & Gummies. And because of the regulation and enforcement, many products that might have a very high MG dosage are now likely to become just a CBD Isolate based product if they weren’t already before. While this will generally avoid a hempy flavour which not everyone likes, a CBD isolate-based product is generally considered inferior to a Broad spectrum or a Full spectrum CBD Oil.
With broad or full spectrum products it means there is an array of Cannabinoids within the product, including but not limited to, CBG, CBC, CBDa. This is much more of a full plant extract which is thought to be much more effective than a product that only consists of the isolated compound.
Are these the same as an effective CBD oil?
Strong & High Strength CBD oils do not necessarily constitute what is the most effective for an individual, as touched upon in the previous paragraph, a 4000mg CBD oil made from CBD Isolate may not be as effective as a 2000mg CBD Oil that is made up from a selection of cannabinoids. Finding the most effective CBD oil is often a case of trial and error which can rely on the quality of extract & production as well as the numerical strength of the product.
How the FSA are limiting the strengths of Broad Spectrum CBD oils
Since regulation was first introduced a little over a year ago regarding CBD products as a “Novel Food”, there has been changes to way products can be made a limit to the type of products that are available using certain types of extracts.
This has meant a number of brands finally having to restrict the strength and type of extract that could be used in a CBD product. Some brands that have normally used “Full spectrum” or “Broad Spectrum” CBD extract will now have switched to a CBD Isolate based product. Isolate products are less effective than broad spectrum products as they contain less active ingredients from the plant.
