Cbd oil

The stronger of our two full spectrum CBD oils: a 10 ml dropper bottle at 20% strength, which is 2000 mg of CBD. Like the 1000 mg oil it is cold pressed from whole industrial hemp plants grown outdoors in the EU, then bottled in the UK. It is sold as a food supplement and has no psychoactive effect. This full spectrum CBD oil is for people who already know how much they take and want fewer drops to get there.

Same smooth, natural taste as the 1000 mg oil, with twice the CBD in each drop. Everything about the process is the same; the only difference is concentration.

What it is

Full spectrum CBD oil keeps the hemp plant's other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids alongside the CBD, instead of isolating one compound. This oil is made by cold pressing the whole plant, with no heat and no solvent, so the result is a plant oil carrying the extract. Nothing is added during pressing, according to the listing.

At 20%, a 10 ml bottle holds 2000 mg of CBD. Across roughly 200 drops, that is about 10 mg of extract in each drop, double the 1000 mg oil. Held under the tongue, 2 drops of this oil deliver roughly what 4 drops of the 10% oil deliver.

Per milligram of CBD the 2000 mg bottle is the better value: about 2p per mg against 2.5p per mg for the 1000 mg bottle. Per bottle it costs more, so it suits regular users rather than someone trying CBD oil for the first time.

The brand describes the hemp as 100% organic and says the oil has been voted best price organic CBD oil in the North of England since 2020. We repeat those as the brand's statements. This is a Herba Store UK own-label oil, from the CBD range the shop was founded on.

How to take it

Take the drops from the dropper and hold them under the tongue for about a minute before swallowing, which is how most brands direct an oil. The brand suggests 2 to 3 drops at a time. Because each drop is about 10 mg, this is not the oil for working up in small steps; start with the 10% oil if you are new to CBD, and move to this one once you know your amount.

• About 10 full droppers per bottle, roughly 200 drops
• 2 to 3 drops at a time, per the brand
• Roughly 10 mg of extract per drop
• At 3 drops a time, about 66 uses at roughly 60p each at £39.99
• At 2 drops a time, about 100 uses at roughly 40p each

Store upright, out of direct light, with the cap closed. No refrigeration is needed. Wipe the dropper if oil gets on the thread, as a sticky cap is the usual way a bottle gets wasted.

What's inside

• Cold pressed whole plant hemp oil, full spectrum
• 2000 mg CBD per 10 ml bottle, 20% strength
• Naturally present omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, as stated by the brand
• Naturally present terpenes and flavonoids, as stated by the brand

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is bred to be very low in THC, which is why a whole plant oil can be sold as a food supplement with no psychoactive effect. The omega fatty acids come from the seed oil within the pressed plant; terpenes are the aromatic compounds responsible for hemp's smell; flavonoids are plant pigments. None of them is added, they are simply what a whole plant pressing keeps.

Who it's for

Regular CBD oil users who have settled on a daily amount and want to reach it in fewer drops. It also suits anyone who buys by the milligram and has worked out that the 20% bottle is cheaper per mg. Taken under the tongue morning or evening, it fits a routine without any preparation.

It is not the right first bottle. If you have not tried CBD oil before, the 1000 mg oil gives 5 mg steps rather than 10 mg steps. If you want a fixed amount and no taste at all, the capsules carry 20 mg each.

Pairs well with

Start with the 1000 mg full spectrum CBD oil if you are new to oils; it is the same pressing at half the strength. The CBD capsules give a fixed 20 mg with no dropper and no taste. For a fixed, lower amount in a sweet, see the vegan CBD gummies at 10 mg each. All of them live on the CBD products shelf, and the rest of the store is under all products.

Frequently asked questions

How much CBD is in a drop?

About 10 mg, based on 2000 mg across roughly 200 drops. That is double the 1000 mg oil.

How is it different from the 1000 mg oil?

It is the same cold pressed hemp oil in the same 10 ml bottle, at double the strength. Everything else, including the taste and the method, is identical.

What does CBD oil do?

CBD oil delivers cannabidiol, a compound from hemp, in a form you can measure by the drop. Its effects are a matter of personal experience and we do not make health claims for it. It is sold as a food supplement and is not psychoactive.

Is it solvent extracted?

No. The brand describes a cold press of the whole plant, the same method as olive oil.
