How important is the concentration of CBD oil?
CBD drops and concentrations
Most users choose higher concentrations when making their first purchase. This is understandable. They feel that a low level would not have enough potency to fight the diseases and ailments that made them opt for CBD. They want to get rid of the ailments as quickly as possible. But logic has to take a back seat in this case. In fact, the concentration of the oil is broken down by purpose. If it is to help harmonize sleep, improve concentration or relieve anxiety, lower levels are more appropriate. If the CBD is too strong, the other substances do not get enough room and the effect can be greatly weakened. Conversely, higher doses and concentrations are needed for more serious health complications or autoimmune diseases. Preventive use of CBD stands out completely and requires careful monitoring of the body's reactions. Research often points out that cannabidiol at lower doses has the most noticeable therapeutic effect.
Concentration distribution
Each category has its own specifics and should be followed accordingly. It is far from enough to start with the lowest concentration to get used to CBD and then automatically increase.
Concentration is nothing more than the number of milligrams of CBD in a millilitre of carrier oil. There are different variations. Hemp and coconut are the most popular, but sunflower, olive, avocado and arnica, grape, pumpkin or pomegranate blends are also available.
Up to 8,3 mg/ml
The low concentration is suitable for complete beginners. While many studies suggest that cannabidiol is a safe substance with minimal side effects, such assumptions cannot be relied upon. CBD may affect everyone differently and reactions cannot be predicted in advance. In particular, people taking regular prescription drugs, pregnant and breastfeeding women and children should beware. If you are hesitant, consulting a doctor or getting expert advice on cannabis products can help you make a decision.
From the preceding lines, it may seem that weaker concentrations are not of interest to advanced users. This is not the case. It is not about the experience with CBD, but the therapeutic intent and what it is supposed to affect. They are effective for people with lower body weight, for prevention, for long-term immune system support, for impact stress or mild pain.
8.3 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml
"Middle class" is the most used. It requires previous experience with CBD to be able to sense the body's reactions, know how cannabidiol affects it and determine a safe daily dose.
Above 20 mg/ml
Such strong concentrations are not common. Although tempting to users, the dark and thick solution is only rarely suitable for regular consumption. It is not for daily supplementation, but for the treatment of acute problems such as nervous system disorders and autoimmune diseases in advanced stages, chronic pain and severe migraines.
A practical example:
A woman with a lower weight who plays sports only recreationally and has a mentally demanding job and is looking for a means to better defend her from stress should choose lower concentrations.
On the other hand, a man with a robust physique, an active athlete with shift work and the need for quality and deep sleep and sufficient recovery after exercise should choose higher concentrations.
Spells with CBD oil concentration
On the one hand, there is the risk that even a single drop will be too strong in concentration and will not have the effect you imagine. On the other hand, you need to be careful not to choose an oil that is too weak and increase the dosage. The bottle would be gone in a couple of weeks and you would also have to dig deeper into your pocket.
