CBD Oil: What Should You Compare?
How CBD oils are made up, what a carrier oil does and how strengths are described.
What is in the bottle
A CBD oil is typically a CBD extract diluted in a carrier oil such as MCT, hemp seed or olive oil. The carrier makes the extract easier to measure and use.
Understanding strength
Strength is usually shown as total milligrams per bottle. To compare two products fairly, divide the total by the bottle volume to get a per-millilitre figure.
