CBD Oil Strength: Which One is Best for You?

Choosing between cbd oil 600mg, 1200mg, and 2400mg comes down to your experience with CBD, how consistently you take it, and how your body responds to a standard serving. This guide breaks down each strength so you can choose with confidence. 

What Do CBD Oil Mg Numbers Mean?

The mg number on a bottle of CBD oil refers to the total CBD content in the entire bottle, not per serving. This total mg count is what determines cbd oil potency, and it's the main factor behind cbd oil strength. Each of our CBD oil bottles holds 30ml, with a standard serving size of a half dropper (0.5ml). For our 600mg oil, the box confirms 10mg of CBD per half-dropper serving.

A 30ml bottle holds 60 half-dropper servings, no matter which strength you choose, so the mg per serving simply scales up with the total strength. This is one of the most common points of confusion for new customers, and it's worth understanding before you compare strengths below.

600mg, Who Is It For?

600mg is the right starting point for first-time CBD oil users. If you've never taken CBD oil before, we recommend starting here. It's also a good fit for anyone who wants a lower daily dose or is generally sensitive to new supplements. One serving is a half dropper (0.5ml), delivering 10mg of CBD, and the label suggests taking one to two servings a day.

A 600mg bottle lasts roughly 60 half-dropper servings, giving you plenty of time to see how your body responds before considering a change. Our 600mg oil comes in the same five flavors as every other strength, including citrus, mint, natural, berry, and vanilla, so your choice of strength never limits your choice of flavor.

1200mg, Who Is It For?

1200mg is built for regular CBD users who are ready for a higher potency. If you've been taking 600mg consistently for a month or more and feel ready to increase your dose, this is the natural next step. It's also a good option if you'd rather order less often, since a 1200mg bottle covers the same number of servings at double the strength.

A half-dropper serving of 1200mg oil delivers about 20mg of CBD, twice what you'd get from the 600mg bottle, so you can take the same serving size for a stronger effect or match your original dose in half the serving. It's still made with the same organically grown hemp and MCT carrier oil as our other strengths.

2400mg, Who Is It For?

2400mg is our high potency CBD oil, built for experienced CBD users. This strength is for people who already take higher daily doses and have established that CBD works for them*. It is not the right starting point for a first-time user.

Because it packs more CBD per bottle, 2400mg also offers better value per mg than our lower strengths, which matters if you've settled into a consistent, higher-dose routine. A half-dropper serving delivers about 40mg of CBD, so many 2400mg customers stick with a half dropper or less per serving to control their daily intake.

How to Move Between Strengths?

Start at 600mg and use it consistently for three to four weeks before making any changes. If you find yourself regularly taking more than the standard serving to feel the effects you want*, moving up to 1200mg is a simple next step. Reserve 2400mg for after you've established your baseline at a lower strength.

Still wondering how much CBD oil should I take day to day? Hold your oil under your tongue for about 60 seconds before swallowing for the best absorption, and store it in a cool, dark place rather than the refrigerator.

Every batch is backed by third-party lab testing, so you can check the Certificate of Analysis for the strength you're considering before you switch. For a full breakdown of serving sizes by strength, including a cbd dosage chart and how to adjust over time, see our CBD dosage guide.

Availability varies slightly by strength: 600mg does not ship to a handful of additional states beyond where 1200mg and 2400mg are restricted, so double-check shipping eligibility for your state before choosing a strength.

CBD Oil Strength Comparison

Comparing cbd oil 1200mg against cbd oil 2400mg side by side makes the potency jump easy to see:

All three strengths use the same full-spectrum formula and are available across our FABCBD CBD oil range, so switching strengths never means switching flavors or formulas.

FAQ

Is 600mg CBD oil strong enough?

For most first-time users, yes. 600mg provides a meaningful daily dose* at the standard serving size, and many people find it works well long term. The right strength is the one you take consistently, not necessarily the highest one available.

What is the difference between 600mg and 1200mg CBD oil? 

A half-dropper serving of 1200mg oil delivers about 20mg of CBD, twice the 10mg you'd get from the 600mg bottle at the same serving size. Both use the same formula and hemp source, just at different potencies. 

How do I know if I need a stronger CBD oil?

If you've taken 600mg consistently for three to four weeks and regularly need more than the standard serving to feel the effect you want*, moving to 1200mg is a natural next step. Avoid jumping straight to 2400mg without establishing your baseline first.
