CBD Oil | Microdose.nl

CBD stands for cannabidiol, a phytocannabinoid that occurs naturally in the hemp plant. The body has its own endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors involved in processes such as sleep, mood and recovery. CBD interacts with this system indirectly, unlike THC, which binds directly to receptors and produces psychoactive effects.

Because CBD has no psychoactive effects, you can use it without it affecting your ability to function. It is usually taken sublingually, as drops under the tongue, which allows for relatively fast absorption through the oral mucosa.

CBD oil generally comes in three main forms, and the difference shapes the experience you get.

• Full spectrum contains CBD alongside the other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids found in the hemp plant, including a minimal amount of THC within the legal limit. This combination of plant compounds is known as the entourage effect, where cannabinoids and terpenes appear to reinforce each other's effects.
• Broad spectrum contains the same broad mix of cannabinoids and terpenes, but without THC. You still benefit from the entourage effect, without any trace of THC.
• Isolate is the purest form: cannabidiol only, without the other plant compounds. Suited to those who want to work with CBD in the most targeted way.

Our formulas typically combine CBD with CBDA, CBG or CBN, complemented with botanical extracts selected for each specific product, so you choose a formula built around your goal rather than just a percentage.

CBD itself is classified as a novel food ingredient under EU regulation, and is widely sold as a food supplement across Europe, provided the THC content stays below the legal threshold. In the Netherlands, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) enforces a maximum of 0.05% THC, based on the limits set out in EU Regulation 2023/915. Rules can vary slightly between EU member states, so it's worth checking local regulations if you're ordering from outside the Netherlands. All our CBD oils are independently lab-tested and meet this standard.

Rather than offering loose percentages, we offer six formulas, each built around a specific goal. That way you choose based on purpose, not just strength.

• CBD Focus, featuring Ginkgo biloba and green tea extract, composed for those seeking mental clarity throughout the day.
• CBD Stress, aimed at relaxation and a calmer feeling during demanding periods.
• CBD Sleep, featuring jujube extract and melatonin, developed as part of a mindful evening routine.
• CBD Relief, composed for those seeking support with physical discomfort.
• CBD Balance, a formula aligned with the body's natural cycle, traditionally used as part of a mindful, balanced lifestyle.
• CBD Fungi, combining CBD with functional mushroom extracts. This formula is coming soon.

These formulas are also available through our sister webshop Microdosing.shop.

What is the difference between full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD oil?

Full spectrum contains all the cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, including a minimal amount of THC within the legal limit of 0.05%. Broad spectrum contains the same broad mix of cannabinoids, but entirely without THC.

Is CBD oil legal in the EU?

CBD is legal as a food supplement in most EU countries, provided the THC content stays below the locally permitted limit. Rules can differ slightly between member states, so we recommend checking local regulations before ordering.

How much CBD oil should I take?

There is no fixed standard, as the right amount varies from person to person. Start with a low dose and build up gradually, paying attention to how your body responds.

Can I combine CBD oil with medication?

If you take medication, particularly blood thinners or other prescribed drugs, we recommend consulting a doctor or pharmacist first, as CBD can affect how certain medications work.
