CBD concentrations explained: percentages, milligrams and how to compare
In short: CBD hemp products come in different concentrations, usually shown as a percentage and a milligram amount. Understanding these numbers helps you compare products and choose one that fits your preference ā here is a neutral guide.
What the percentage means
The percentage on a bottle of hemp drops refers to the concentration of CBD in the product. For example, 5% drops in a 10 ml bottle contain roughly 500 mg of CBD, while 20% drops contain around 2000 mg in the same volume.
Comparing concentrations
- Lower concentrations (5%) are often chosen by people new to hemp products.
- Medium concentrations (10%) are a common choice for regular use.
- Higher concentrations (20%) contain more CBD per drop and are chosen by experienced users.
- Resins are the most concentrated form of extract.
How to read a product label
Look for both the percentage and the total milligrams of CBD, the volume of the bottle, and confirmation that the THC content is below the legal limit. Transparent labelling and laboratory verification are signs of a quality product.
