CBD oils are one of the most popular ways to use CBD as a dietary supplement and manage long-term health conditions.

While CBD oils are one of the most widely used CBD products, most people still know surprisingly little about them and the various available options.

It is a common misconception that all CBD oils are the same and provide the same benefits. In reality, CBD oil can vary widely in terms of its usability and effects on the body.

As the CBD oil Australia grows, so do the number of oils and available options.

So, what are the different types of CBD oils available in Australia, and how do you choose the best option?

Understanding how CBD oils differ

There are several ways CBD oils can differ, and understanding these factors is extremely helpful when shopping for CBD oils.

The ways CBD oils differ can be broken down into two main categories; the obvious and the not so obvious.

The obvious factors include one’s the brand clearly states on the label and in the product description, such as the flavor profile, dosage, and the quantity of oil within a tincture.

The second category is those factors that are not so readily available to the customer. This includes things like the extraction method used and the type of CBD formula; full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or isolate.

Together, all these factors can impact a CBD oil tincture’s quality, usability, and effectiveness.

Here are some of the main ways that CBD oils differ. We also cover the available options in Australia.

Flavored CBD oils vs. unflavored CBD oils

Both flavored and unflavored CBD oils are available in Australia. Most CBD brands, like Premium Jane, offer customers the ability to choose between the two options.

The best options typically depend on personal preference and how CBD oils will be used.

For example, when taking CBD as sublingual drops, many people find flavored oils more palatable. Alternatively, when adding CBD oils to foods and drinks, unflavored oils are a better option.

Personal taste is also crucial when determining whether flavored or unflavored oils are best. Some people enjoy the natural, earthy taste of unflavored CBD oils. However, other people find the natural taste of CBD unpleasant and prefer to opt for a flavored CBD oil instead.

It is also worth considering the way that CBD oils have been flavored. Some brands use 100% natural flavorings or terpenes to keep the final product completely natural. Other brands opt for more affordable options and flavor their CBD oils using artificial flavors.

Different strengths of CBD oils

Almost all CBD retailers in Australia offer their CBD oils in different strengths. Choosing the right strength CBD oil is important as this determines how much CBD enters the body at any one time.

CBD oil that is too strong can provide the body with a higher level of cannabinoids than it needs or is even able to work through. Equally, too low of a dose of CBD can have little to no effect on the body, making the CBD oil ineffective.

The available options vary based on the specific brand. For example, Premium Jane offers flavored CBD oils in three concentrations; 300mg, 600mg, and 1000mg. However, depending on the retailer, you can find oils with a strength as low as 100mg and as high as 5000mg.

Different extraction methods and types of CBD

One key piece of information that is not always made readily available to customers is the extraction methods used and the resulting type of CBD within the oil.

There are several different ways CBD and other cannabinoids can be extracted from hemp plants. Each method has pros and cons, and each one results in a different combination of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Very intensive extraction and filtration methods are used to make CBD isolate oil since all hemp plant compounds, other than CBD, must be removed from the final product. On the contrary, full-spectrum and broad-spectrum formulas contain an array of cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant. 

Both CBD isolate and full-spectrum CBD oils can be found in Australia, and it is worth researching the differences between the two to decide which one is best for you.
