CBD Strength Levels Explained: A Complete Guide

Not sure what CBD oil strength is right for you – or what that even means? You’re not alone; CBD strength can be confusing, so we’re here to break it down and make finding your ideal strength level easy.


Keep scrolling for our complete guide to strengths, dosage, and the perfect products for your routine. With these tips, understanding CBD strength just got a whole lot simpler…

What does CBD strength mean?

CBD strength refers to the amount of CBD found in your chosen CBD product, whether that's a fast-acting CBD oil, delicious gummy or ultra-convenient capsule. In short, it tells you how much CBD you're getting from each dose, and it's usually shown in one of the below ways...

1. Total amount of CBD in a bottle


Many CBD brands (including us!) display the amount of CBD in a full bottle of oil or jar of gummies/capsules, so you know how much CBD you're getting overall.

For example, the Orange Bright Days CBD Oil Drops come in a 30ml bottle containing 3000mg of CBD inside, while a jar of Bright Days CBD Capsules contains 600mg of CBD across 60 capsules.

2. Amount of CBD in one dose

On some products – like our Calm CBD Gummies and Good Night CBD Gummies – the amount of CBD is displayed per individual dose. These fruity-flavoured gummies each contain 10mg of CBD, giving you an easy, pre-measured dose you can adjust as you please.

3. Percentage of CBD in a bottle


On the labels for CBD oils, the strength may appear as a percentage, which will tell you how much CBD is present in relation to the carrier oil it's dissolved in. Put simply, it's the concentration level. For example:

What counts as high-strength CBD?

What counts as high-strength CBD varies from brand to brand. At Cannaray, we count our 3000mg CBD oils as high strength, with a 10% CBD concentration.

What strength of CBD is best?

There's no 'best' strength of CBD. What works is unique to everyone, and it usually comes down to:

  • what you're using CBD for;
  • your body size;
  • the type of CBD product you choose.

We usually recommend starting low and going slow with your dosage, trying each amount for at least seven days before you gradually increase. Take your time, be consistent, and you'll soon find what works for you.

The best CBD strength for beginners

If you're a CBD beginner (or you don't want a higher strength), get started with our regular-strength products. There's something for every routine, whether you like the fresh flavour of our CBD oils or the convenience of pre-measured CBD capsules.

If you like CBD oils...

Choose: Citrus Bright Days CBD Oil Drops 1500mg and/or Peppermint Night-Time CBD Oil Drops 1800mg

Claudia Winkleman loves these oils so much, she actually reached out to us to let us know. They were the very first products we launched, and the formulas are still bestsellers today, with carefully chosen blends designed to help your body absorb the CBD more effectively.

Each bottle comes with an easy-to-use measuring pipette, allowing you to start with smaller servings and gradually adjust your dosage when you're ready. Plus, the fresh flavours – citrus for Bright Days and soothing peppermint for Night-Time – make every drop delicious.

If you like CBD gummies...

Choose: Calm CBD Gummies and/or Good Night CBD Gummies

Packing in 10mg of CBD, these delicious gummies are your stress-busting sidekicks. The gentle dose of CBD is complemented by soothing botanicals that support your routine from day to night.

Reach for the ashwagandha-infused Calm CBD Gummies for daytime calm when you need it most. Think lo(ooo)ng meetings, hectic school runs and tackling endless to-do lists. Then, take the Good Night CBD Gummies as part of your evening routine for a mind-kind blend of valerian, terpenes and l-theanine.

If you like CBD capsules...

Choose: Bright Days CBD Capsules 600mg

Another of our original icons, these CBD Capsules are your 'one stop shop' for all-round wellness. One serving of two capsules gives you 20mg of CBD, along with 500% of your daily vitamin D3 dose, 225% of your recommended vitamin C, and a boost of zinc.

All that added goodness works to support your immune system (a must for cold and flu season), while contributing to psychological function (great for busy brains), and reducing tiredness and fatigue. Your body and mind will thank you.

The best CBD strength when increasing dosage

If you've already tried CBD and feel ready for a stronger option, our higher-strength products are a great next step. From more concentrated CBD oils to convenient gummies with a higher CBD content per serving, these products are designed for anyone looking to increase their daily dosage while keeping their routine simple.

If you like CBD oils...

Choose: Orange Bright Days CBD Oil Drops 3000mg or Forest Fruits Night-Time CBD Oil Drops 3000mg

Higher in strength than the CBD oils mentioned above, these 3000mg bottles offer a 10% CBD concentration, making them a great next step if you're looking to increase your dosage (or if you want to start strong).

Like our regular-strength CBD oils, they’re blended with coconut oil to improve CBD absorption, plus hemp seed oil in the Night-Time drops. They also come with easy-to-use glass measuring pipettes, so you can customise your dose as you please.

If you like CBD gummies...

Choose: Bright Days CBD Gummies 900mg

These higher-strength gummies are ideal for anyone ready to increase their daily CBD intake while still enjoying the convenience of a simple, pre-measured serving. Each gummy contains a 30mg of CBD – making them three times more concentrated than the Calm or Good Night CBD Gummies. With 30 in the jar, you've got daily, deliciously flavoured support you can count on.
