How to compare CBD in the UK

CBD is sold in the UK in several regulated forms. Oils, capsules, gummies and drinks are novel foods, so they should be linked to an application on the Food Standards Agency (FSA) Public List. Creams, balms and haircare are cosmetics. Vape liquids fall under general product safety rules.

The fairest way to compare any of them is price per milligram of CBD, not price per pack. A cheaper bottle is often a weaker one. Check each product's batch lab certificate to confirm the CBD content matches the label and that THC is within legal limits.

The FSA advises healthy adults to take no more than 10mg of CBD a day, and not to use CBD if pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication without medical advice. No over the counter CBD product is licensed to treat any medical condition.
