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

The best CBD oils

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.

Still curious about what customers think of CBD oil?

Discover CBD oil reviews from people who have taken it in capsule, liquid and other forms - plus what Jacob Hooy, one of the best-known CBD suppliers, has to say about them!

Disclaimer

Here at H&B, we only sell CBD that meets our highest standards for purity, quality, and safety. This is backed by leading trade associations (HFMA & EIHA) and expert laboratories so you can find the CBD you can trust, in the format, flavour and strength you want too.

 

The advice in this article is for information only and should not replace medical care. Please check with your GP or healthcare professional before trying any supplements, treatments or remedies. Food supplements must not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.


The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends a daily CBD intake of 10mg (for a 70 kg adult) for products with 98% purity. This advice from FSA is precautionary and relates to long term sustained use of CBD. H&B recommend customers check labels and consider their daily intake of CBD and length of time they choose to take CBD for based on this updated FSA advice. For more information please visit the FSA website
