Swiss CBD oils are hemp extracts diluted in a carrier oil, designed for simple administration and precise dosing. They are used sublingually: a few drops under the tongue, held for a few moments before swallowing. At Suisse CBD, all oils are extracted using supercritical CO₂, verified in a laboratory via third-party analysis, and available in several concentrations. Here is how to choose yours.
Full Spectrum or Broad Spectrum, what it really changes
The difference isn't just a matter of composition: it also influences how you can use the oil on a daily basis.
Full Spectrum retains all of the hemp's natural compounds, including traces of THC compliant with the law (less than 1% in Switzerland, less than 0.3% for France). It is the most complete profile of the plant, often chosen for occasional use or in moderate doses. At high or repeated doses, however, the traces of THC may be slightly felt. This is a point to keep in mind if you are sensitive or if you are increasing your dosage.
Broad Spectrum retains the other cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, CBC, etc.) and terpenes, but removes the THC. This is the recommended formulation in three situations:
- You wish to avoid any THC intake for professional or personal reasons.
- You are going through a period of intense stress, anxiety, or cannabis withdrawal, and you need higher doses of CBD without simultaneously increasing the THC level.
- You are already an experienced user and wish to increase your CBD intake beyond what Full Spectrum would comfortably allow.
Coconut MCT or hemp seed oil
The carrier oil influences taste and absorption. Coconut MCT has a neutral taste and a very light texture, ideal if you do not like the vegetal taste of hemp. Hemp seed oil has a more pronounced, herbaceous aromatic profile and offers complementary essential fatty acids. In both cases, since CBD is fat-soluble, taking your oil during or just after a meal improves absorption.
Which concentration to choose
The concentration indicates the total amount of CBD in the bottle. The higher it is, the more CBD each drop contains. Benchmarks for a 10 ml bottle (about 200 drops):
| Concentration | Total CBD (10 ml) | Per drop | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | 1,000 mg | ~5 mg | Beginner, first approach |
| 20% | 2,000 mg | ~10 mg | Regular use, maintenance |
| 25% | 2,500 mg | ~12.5 mg | Significant need, more sustained daily dose |
| 30% | 3,000 mg | ~15 mg | Confirmed user, economical to use |
| 45% | 4,500 mg | ~22.5 mg | Intensive use, x-strong format |
One drop represents approximately 0.05 ml, or ~200 drops per 10 ml bottle. Indicative values.
Which oil according to your need
Beyond spectrum and concentration, the choice also depends on what you are looking for:
- Sleep: prioritize taking it about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Full Spectrum, thanks to the presence of trace CBN, is often preferred here. See our article on CBD and sleep.
- Stress and anxiety: regular intake at a moderate dose (10 to 20%) yields better results than occasional intake at a high dose. See our article on CBD against anxiety and stress.
- Pain: higher concentrations (25 to 30%) are generally sought after for a more sustained effect over time.
- Cannabis withdrawal: Broad Spectrum is recommended to allow for higher doses without THC intake. See our article on CBD and cannabis withdrawal.
These benchmarks are indicative and do not replace medical advice, particularly if you are currently undergoing treatment.
How to take your CBD oil
Place the number of drops under the tongue, hold for 60 to 90 seconds before swallowing. Sublingual absorption is faster than the digestive route. Start with a low dose of 5 to 10 mg per intake, and increase gradually over a few days until you find your balance, rather than aiming high from the start. There is no universal dosage: sensations vary according to each person's profile. For a complete titration method, with benchmarks based on individual sensitivity and context of use, consult our CBD dosage guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CBD oil legal in Switzerland and France?
Yes, provided the THC level complies with regulations: up to 1% in Switzerland, 0.3% in the European Union. The oils shipped to France in our catalog respect the European threshold, with a certificate of analysis available.
Does CBD oil make you high?
No. CBD has no psychotropic effect. You may feel a sensation of relaxation or muscle loosening, but not intoxication, no impairment of judgment, and no loss of control.
Which oil should I choose to start?
A 10% oil in coconut MCT is the most comfortable entry point: gradual dosage drop by drop, neutral taste, gentle effect. Switch to 20% once you have found your maintenance dosage.
Full Spectrum or Broad Spectrum for stress and anxiety?
For daily stress at a moderate dose, both work. But if you feel the need to increase doses, or if you are in a period of cannabis withdrawal, Broad Spectrum is more suitable: you can take more CBD without simultaneously increasing the traces of THC, which avoids any risk of undesirable sensations at high doses.
Can I take CBD oil every day?
Yes, daily use is common. CBD does not create physical dependence. Many people incorporate it into their morning or evening routine. If you are undergoing medical treatment, talk to your doctor first.
How long before I feel the effects?
Sublingually, the first sensations generally appear between 15 and 45 minutes. The effects also build up over time: many people notice a more marked difference after two to three weeks of regular use.
