A 10 ml CBD 10% bottle contains 1,000 mg of total CBD (versus 500 mg for the 5%). The concentration is double — ideal for people who have already integrated CBD into their routine and require higher doses for their objectives (chronic stress management, joint pain, sleep disorders). The value for money is often better with the 10% for regular users. The carrier oil (MCT, hemp or olive) and other characteristics are identical.
A 10 ml bottle at 10% contains 1,000 mg of CBD. With approximately 200 to 250 drops per 10 ml bottle, each drop delivers approximately 4 to 5 mg of CBD. The standard dose for an intermediate user is 5 to 10 drops per serving (20 to 50 mg), 1 to 2 times per day depending on the objective. Clinical studies on CBD use doses ranging from 25 mg to 600 mg per day depending on the condition studied.
CBD 10% can be suitable for beginners, but CBD 5% is often recommended to start as it allows finer adjustment of the initial dose (smaller drops are harder to divide). The universal rule for CBD: start low, increase gradually. Start with 1 to 2 drops of 10% (4 to 10 mg), wait 2 hours, assess your response and increase if necessary. Find your minimum effective dose.
Sublingual route: place drops under the tongue, wait 60 to 90 seconds before swallowing to allow direct absorption through the sublingual mucosa (blood vessels). This method offers bioavailability of 13 to 35% versus 4 to 20% for the direct oral route. Take CBD after a meal containing healthy fats — cannabinoids are fat-soluble and their absorption is significantly increased in the presence of dietary lipids (up to 3x according to studies).
CBD interacts with several systems involved in sleep regulation: serotonin 5-HT1A receptors (anxiety), the GABA system (relaxation) and opioid receptors. Pilot studies show that CBD at moderate doses (25 to 150 mg) can improve subjective sleep quality in people suffering from anxiety or chronic pain. Evening intake, 30 to 60 minutes before bed, is the most common timing for sleep objectives.
This is a critical question. WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) removed CBD from its list of prohibited substances in 2018 — CBD alone is permitted. However, using a full spectrum oil (with traces of THC <0.3%) may, with high or regular consumption, lead to THC accumulation in fatty tissues and a positive urine test result. For athletes under anti-doping controls, prefer a broad spectrum (THC-free) or certified CBD isolate.
Same contraindications as CBD 5%: pregnancy and breastfeeding not recommended, drug interactions via CYP450 (anticoagulants, antiepileptics, immunosuppressants — consult your doctor), children without specialist prescription. The higher dose of 10% increases interaction potential — be particularly vigilant if you take medications and opt for the 5% for safer dosing.
