Choosing your oil
How to take CBD oil
At for the Ageless we know our CBD oil. After years of ongoing research for a close family member, in 2016 we launched the website with a simple mission: To showcase the best CBD supplements from ethical, transparent producers, whilst removing the confusion from the purchasing process.
In that time, we have personally tried a huge number of oils, edibles, balms and e-liquids. Steadily refining our collections as we go, we are now happy to share with you a full list of our favourite CBD oils. Before we endorse any CBD brand, they must meet our strict selection criteria as set out in our CBD guide:
| CBD oil | Highlights | Total CBD | CBD per unit | Cost per mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biopurus 5% | Certified organic. Whole-plant, full-spectrum extract. | 500mg | 2.5mg per drop | 5.8p |
| BioBloom 8% | Certified organic. Whole-plant, full-spectrum, high in CBDa. | 800mg / 2400mg | 4mg per drop | 4.5p / 6.2p |
| 50% CBD oil | Full-spectrum. Strongest oil available. | 5000mg | 25mg per drop | 3.7p |
| CannabiGold Select 1000mg | Easy to use pump delivery. Full spectrum. | 1000mg | 10mg per pump | 4.9p |
| Love CBD spray 2000mg | Full spectrum oil from a UK company. Strongest spray. | 2000mg | 16mg per spray | 4.9p |
| Love Hemp CBD spray | Broad-spectrum (THC free) available in 4 flavours. | 600mg / 1200mg | 3.3mg / 7.5mg per spray | 4.2p/5p |
Biopurus is a small supplier of top-notch, certified organic and high-strength cannabidiol drops using CO2 supercritical extraction, the industry's gold standard. The cornerstone of Biopurus isn’t extravagant packaging or marketing gimmicks; they have instead focused on developing a certified organic, whole-plant extract of superb quality. This is, without doubt, the best UK CBD oil brand we’ve tried and tested to date. And the one to have received the most enthusiastic reviews.
The highest quality extracts are not only full-spectrum but must also preserve the raw phytonutrients of the plant. Namely, the terpene profile, its bioflavonoids, the chlorophyll, and lipids (omega oils). This makes Biopurus the best UK oil as they believe in preserving the whole-plant, to deliver the full benefits of cannabis oil.
Packing so much high-quality cannabidiol into a bottle does come with a few small caveats. As it is a whole-plant extract, it has a stronger, thicker texture than a regular CBD oil. The taste is earthy and powerful when applied under the tongue. The bottle is also not suitable for travelling and must be stored in a stable upright position to prevent leaking.
This was my first foray into the world of CBD products and I had researched extensively before choosing this oil from ForTheAgeless. The customer service I received was great and they helped out with amending an order promptly and helpfully. The oil itself, I really like it. Tastes great and seems to be having a positive effect on my wellbeing and sleep so I can't ask for more than that. It's not a "cheap" product but I'm a believer that you tend to get what you pay for.
I’ve tried lots of different brands, this is by far the best.
This is an item I’ve bought many times over and rate very highly. Between a large family and returning to university, compounded by the last year of Covid, this CBD oil has taken the edge off my stress and anxiety. I recently had an issue with my product’s packaging and within a day of inquiring received an email, followed by a phone call, to remedy the issue which I have to say, the solution was beyond my expectations. You don’t get customer service like this very often, or an understanding of how much the company values quality in the products they sell.
I drink one cup a day, usually in the evening, I think they help me sleep along with the CBD oil. It's an acquired taste, not dissimilar to green tea but I like it. I would purchase again.
I enjoyed this tea with a bit of lemon juice to add a hit of sweet and sour. I felt very relaxed and chilled out too. It’s high quality in substance and I’m definitely making it part of my daily routine. I take it for anxiety and to relax. Highly recommend!
BioBloom has taken an interesting and unique approach to their range that has cemented their place as one of the best brands for sale in the UK. Rather than provide stronger oils, they have focused on products that balance CBD and CBDa alongside a full-spectrum of other cannabinoids.
As whole-plant extracts, BioBloom oils also contain the often-lost lipids, chlorophyll, terpenes, bioflavonoids, and other delicate phytonutrients present in hemp. This makes the drops darker and the taste stronger than many other brands.
BioBloom is also the only organic CBD oil manufacturer that conducts meticulous lab tests to ensure its formulas contain a near-perfect 50:50 CBD to CBDa ratio. There’s a large body of research pointing to the benefits of cannabidiol being enhanced by the presence of its "sister" cannabinoid CBDa.
Why does BioBloom not offer stronger products? It is their belief in the added benefit of other cannabinoids. They would rather you take 10 drops of the BioBloom 4% CBD oil instead of taking 1 drop of a 40% oil. The CBD content is the same, but by taking more of the oil, you take in more of the other cannabinoids, thus enhancing the effect of the main active ingredients CBD and CBDa.
Having one organic certification is hard enough. BioBloom possesses three: the Austrian, Swiss and Hungarian Bio certificate plus the British Biodynamic Association one, making it the only cannabidiol product available in the UK with a triple organic certification.
These stamps demonstrate that BioBloom complies with organic standards from “seed to shelf”, in other words, from the selection of its seeds and the fertile, pristine ground where they grow, to the manufacturing and bottling process. The meticulous third-party tests on this brand check the level of cannabinoids and terpenes contained in the oil. It is remarkable how this small family company raises the standards for the entire CBD industry.
I have tried 5 different CBD oils in the last two years. For someone trying to capture the whole plant, this is by far the best product I have tried. It has a raw feel to it and is much more viscous than the others so you can't leave it in the fridge (or take it out before use). I used to buy it directly from Austria but just recently discovered for the Ageless. The first order was entirely uneventful (as in no probs). Speedy confirmation and delivery.
We enjoy brewing this tea every night before bed and think it helps promote restful sleep. We like the way this tea is grown and produced in an organic and ethical way. Hemp can pick up a lot of toxins and with Bio Bloom we know that this is not the case.
Item arrived very quickly and is of very high quality! I will definitely be ordering more.
This product has really helped my elderly Father. Life changing even.
Seems to work really well with recovery and the advice from For the Ageless was superb.
CBD Ultra offers a select range of well made, potent oils. They use CO2 supercritical extracted CBD distillate. This ensures all their products contain an effective blend of natural cannabinoids and terpenes. As a family-run business, they’ve made their name by focusing on honesty and complete traceability of everything they produce.
We recommend CBD Ultra oils because of their attention to detail and the quality this produces. The hemp used is sourced from Colorado where it’s grown organically. Although the oil is made to organic standards, it doesn’t have an official organic certification. Once the cannabinoids are extracted and added to the carrier oil, a series of in house analysis and third-party testing is carried out.
Their 50% oil is one of the strongest CBD drops available in the UK and is made with a buttery MCT oil which helps make the taste significantly more absorbable and palatable than a regular high-strength oil.
Because of its strength, each drop delivers 25mg CBD and you only need to take one or two to get your entire daily serving. The bottle contains 200 drops.
I’m so glad to have stumbled across this company. They are such a responsible and ethically driven company and their customer service is amazing. They give in-depth and helpful advice and guide you through the maze of CBD products available in an informed and supportive way. I have ordered twice so far and am delighted with the effect the products I’ve ordered have had on my chronic health issue. I am a fan…of the products, of CBD in general and of this company.
Daniel essentially offered an invaluable 45 minute consultation with zero pressure to buy anything. Just good advice to someone who was a bit confused about the plethora of CBD products available. Rather than me spending months researching various products, Daniel was able to recommend a couple of solutions that might work best. As a bonus, the CBD products Daniel recommended really do seem to be helping! I would highly recommend (and already have) happily recommended For The Ageless. Thank you so much. P.S. Shipping was rapid too.
Daniel is extremely helpful and his advice, support and suggestions are honest authentic and ethical I purchased CBD oil which was very effective and I will purchase more when this batch is exhausted. I look forward to investigating further products from their range.
Both the product and service were fantastic, fast speedy delivery of a quality product and all in information to make a informed choice on what is best. I won’t use another product again I shall be a happy retuning customer over an over again. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind help and expertise in guiding me to the right products. It has given me much more confidence in the health choices I am making.
CannabiGold’s unique selling point is not its oil but its method of application. A common customer issue is droppers leaking, because when the highly viscous oil gets in the rim of a conventional bottle it is not easy to close. Looking to remedy this, CannabiGold developed a side nozzle. This pump can deliver a consistent squirt easily under the tongue, without having to use a mirror to ensure one is getting the right number of drops.
The easy dropper technology quickly boosted the good reputation of the already popular cylinder bottles because they’re easy to use and do not leak. This makes them suitable for travelling. Each of their 12ml bottles contains 100 pumps of precisely measured CBD, making it the simplest and most convenient bottle available.
CannabiGold’s CO2 extracted oil comes from 1,250 acres of hemp fields in Poland and is available in 13 European countries. CannabiGold is one of the only companies in Europe with more than 700 brick and mortar sales locations.
Great service, prompt delivery and very competitive prices! Really great all round!
Wonderful purchase, really hits the spot!
This is truly the best CBD available known the uk. Highly recommend!
I’ve tried a few different CBD oils over the past year and they’ve been very hit and miss. From the start this is a well packaged and well designed bottle for sub lingual dosage. Its been very effective for me and will definitely buy again. For The Ageless delivered exceptional service - nice to be buying from people who know what they’re doing in this area!
CannabiGold Select CBD 1000mg is consistently made to a very exacting high standard. There is never any unpleasant aftertaste from this high quality product. The Hemp tea generously included with our CBD purchase makes a satisfyingly relaxing brew; thank you. Tried so far without adding milk, sugar or honey. For the Ageless has always delivered the highest quality produce.
When the founders of Love CBD, brothers Phil and Dan Culbertson, learned about the success of cannabis in the USA, they saw an opportunity for launching a CBD business in the UK. This family-run company from Newmarket, Suffolk, realised that many of the CBD oils available in the UK at that time (2014) were of substandard quality and decided to become connoisseurs, putting together blends using what they consider to be the best hemp strains available.
After two years of R&D and lots of testing, Love CBD had already established itself as one of the pioneer brands in the UK for sprays and balms. They specialise in blending extracts from different strains to achieve a unique balance of cannabinoids and terpenes for improved taste and effect. That's why they call this premium product the "entourage" range. If you live in the UK and haven't tried Love CBD, then you should really give it a go.
Having had a very helpful conversation with one of the staff, I am trying a different strength oil. I would not have felt comfortable without having had his guidance and it is early days but I think the oil is a good fit. Thank you once again.
I’ve been using Love CBD products for a while now and find that they are always of the best quality. It was the first brand I tried and still excellent and effective. I use 2 different brands of CBD liquid, and that seems to work best for me, alongside Love CBD balm and a tea. The Love CBD liquid purchased is the highest dosage, but I use a lot less, so works out best value, especially as it was on sale at the time. For the Ageless delivers items ordered very quickly, and well wrapped, with very good use by dates.
Very soothing . Not sticky and a little goes a long way.
Excellent. Noticed a marked improvement in my symptoms.
This is the way all online transactions should be. Easy to order and you get within 2 days. I love dealing with these guys. Really recommended!! A+++
Love Hemp is a top UK based brand. When Love Hemp launched, it focused on bringing fine organic hemp oils from the EU, particularly from the Czech Republic, into the UK market. When cannabis legislation changed in the USA, they switched to Colorado-grown organic hemp from a company called Folium. All Love Hemp products are broad spectrum (THC free).
Their information and labelling are transparent and all products possess third-party certification detailing cannabinoid content. Love Hemp is responsible for breaking ground and shifting the UK public’s perception of cannabis as a source of vegan goodness for people of all ages. Their products are a safe and affordable choice with the guarantee of high quality.
As usual delivered promptly, first time I've tried Love Hemp, pleasant taste, will order again.
Having only used this product for three weeks I have noticed a remarkable change in not only my physical health but my mental wellbeing is also much improved definitely recommend this product and company (for the ageless), I am one happy customer. Thank you.
I have taken this CBD oil for quite a few years as I have found it was the most effective. It’s easy to use and the lemon makes it very palatable.
Excellent service! it arrived promptly and very quickly! Have always ordered from for the Ageless and never had had any problems! This spray is a real benefit as well as all your other products are! I also ordered Organic Hemp Tea which I have liked and brought before. It tastes great and is ideal for that wind down cuppa! Thank you for your 5* service! Will continue to use your products!
This is my second bottle and I’m sure I will order more. They are so tasty and are useful to get your CBD dose when you can’t be bothered to stand in front of a mirror to put oil drops under your tongue. I also like to keep them by my bed and have one the minute I wake up! Yum.
Most manufacturers will label CBD products as either full-spectrum, broad-spectrum or isolate. This refers to the type of extract used and will give you an indication of which cannabinoids it contains. Most CBD products contain at least a tiny trace of THC but those made with broad-spectrum and isolate should be as close to THC-free as possible.
Full-spectrum - contains CBD alongside all the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in hemp plants. CBD will be the most abundant, but there will be traces of others, including THC.
According to the ‘entourage effect’ theory, consuming a range of cannabinoids together is likely to enhance their efficacy. You can verify that a product is full-spectrum by looking at the certificates of analysis (lab tests). You won’t see a list of over 100 cannabinoids because not all are tested for, but you should expect to see CBD and about 6 or more other cannabinoids, including THC.
The term “whole plant” is a term that refers to full-spectrum oils that have not been filtered to remove plant waxes, lipids and nutrients.
Full-spectrum oil cost: Around 5-6p per mg of CBD or £25-30 for 500mg of CBD.
Broad-spectrum - contains a full range of cannabinoids but no THC. Broad-spectrum oils are likely to provide the entourage effect, but some scientists argue that THC is an essential component. When you buy a broad-spectrum product, you can expect to see 4 or 5 other cannabinoids listed alongside the CBD on the third-party lab results.
Broad-spectrum oil cost: Around 4-7p per mg of CBD or £20-35 for 500mg of CBD. This can vary significantly depending on the lab testing used to check to what level the THC has been removed.
Isolate - a CBD-only extract that contains no other cannabinoids or plant matter. Occasionally called ‘pure CBD’ it comes in the form of either crystals or a powder and is the cheapest way to produce cannabidiol products. This is considered by many as the least effective form of CBD unless it contains additional terpenes to enhance it.
Isolate oil cost: Around 4-5p per mg of CBD or £20-25 for 500mg of CBD.
The middle of the range is around 5-6 pence per mg of CBD, or £25-30 for a 10ml bottle containing a total of 500mg (5% strength). This price can go up or down depending on the type of extract used, how the product was produced, it’s organic credentials and the quality of third-party testing.
To pay more than £30 per 500mg you should expect that the product is certified organic, not just using extract from organic hemp, has been third party lab tested for safety and to prove any claims made on the label such as being full or broad-spectrum.
The majority of people use less than 50mg of CBD per day. If you use 50mg per day, a 500mg bottle will last 10 days. Based on the average price of £25-30 this will see you spend £75-90 per month or £2.50-£3 per day. Less than the price of a medium coffee at any of the large chains in the UK.
We consider this the higher end of what you can expect to spend because many won’t need to consume 50mg per day. Also, if you are using this amount the price per mg will decrease when you buy larger 30ml bottles or higher strengths (10% and above).
CBD products come in a range of different strengths. Most often the strength is indicated on the label as an amount in milligrams or by a percentage. A milligram amount simply tells you how much CBD is present in the container, but a percentage can be more complicated. The percentage value doesn’t indicate the quantity of CBD on its own so you also need to take into account the product volume (10ml, 30ml, etc.).
This table shows how many milligrams (mg) of CBD a product contains based on the percentage (%) and the volume in millilitres (ml) of the container. The percentages shown are those most commonly used in CBD oils and similar products.

When choosing your first CBD oil we recommend starting with a strength of 10% and below. This will allow you to experiment by taking smaller amounts and building up to find what’s suitable for you. With oils above 10% CBD, the amount per drop means you may take more than you require, costing you more in the long term.
The table below demonstrates how much CBD is contained in each drop for a range of commonly available strengths.

We've written two articles about the strongest CBD oils and edibles (gummies, paste and capsules) we stock.
We recommend taking the oil twice per day, before breakfast and dinner. The method we recommend is to consume it sublingually (under the tongue). This is the most efficient and effective method. All you need to do is:
CBD affects everyone slightly differently depending on several factors, including body mass, internal chemistry and existing health conditions. Consequently, it’s important to take the time to find out how it affects you and what daily amount provides the results you’re looking for.
The best way to find this out is to begin by taking a small amount and slowly increasing it over a few weeks. For example, start by taking 10mg twice per day. After a week, you can double that amount to 20mg twice per day.
However, continuing to increase the daily amount may not yield the results you expect. This is because CBD is biphasic and can produce different effects with different serving sizes.
Listen to your body and increase the amount you take accordingly, without exceeding the 70mg daily amount recommended by the FSA.
Some people experience side effects when taking CBD. The most common are:
Allergies - CBD is not known to cause an allergic reaction, but different brands use different carrier oils, flavours, additives, and additional ingredients. Before you try a new product, make sure you check the ingredients list.
If you use any medication, you should consult your pharmacist or doctor before taking CBD, because it may interact with some commonly prescribed drugs. The UK Food Standards Agency’s (FSA) recommendation is that you shouldn’t use CBD if you’re taking medication.
Other FSA recommendations are:
