Hempura CBD oil is made of broad-spectrum CBD and contains no artificial preservatives, no GMOs and no pesticides. As such, their CBD products have all the other all-natural hemp extracts such as CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabicitran), as well as the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids. However, as a broad-spectrum CBD oil, it is 100% THC free.
All their CBD oils focus on maximising the entourage effect – a physiological phenomenon wherein the properties of active hemp compounds appear to be more powerful when consumed together rather than by themselves individually – through the preservation of synergy between the plants cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids.
Their Hemp is grown in Europe and they are one of the only companies in our Top 10 CBD brands to use ethanol extraction process to produce their broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD oils.
Hempura is registered with The Vegan Society since July 2019 and is committed to securing the safety of animals and the preservation of the environment by not testing their products on animals and using recyclable materials.
To date, Hempura offers 4 different strengths for their full-spectrum (FS), broad-spectrum (BS) and pure CBD oils, which can be purchased in 10ml bottles (except 8% oil in 30ml bottle):
CBD (mg) | Type | % | CBD / Drop* |
250mg | FS | 2.5% | 1.25mg |
500mg | FS | 5% | 2.5mg |
1000mg | FS | 10% | 5mg |
250mg | BS | 2.5% | 1.25mg |
500mg | BS | 5% | 2.5mg |
1000mg | BS | 10% | 5mg |
2400mg | Pure | 8% | 4mg |
*Amount of CBD oil per drop = 0.025ml
Their 250mg CBD oil retails at £19.99 (£0.08 per mg of CBD), their 500mg oil at £36.99 (£0.07 per mg of CBD) and their 1000mg oil at £64.99 (£0.06 per mg of CBD).
When comparing the price and strength of their CBD oils, going for a higher potency works out cheaper in the long run as a person using 20g of CBD per day will spend £1.60 per day using their 2.5% CBD oil and £1.48 per day when using their 10% oil, a saving of 7.5% when going for the higher potency oil.
Whilst the most popular way to consume CBD is by using CBD tincture (oil), they often have a more earthy, nutty, woody or grass-like taste which is down to the fact the product is natural, safe, and non-toxic.
After taking Hempura CBD oil for two weeks, it is fair to say that it has quite a nice flavour profile.
The first thing we noticed is that their CBD oil is quite dark, almost green. In our experience, a darker colour often indicates a stronger and less palatable CBD oil, which in in the case of Hempura turned out not to be the case. Their CBD has quite a nice taste and won’t leave you with a bad aftertaste!
This is primarily explained by the fact that this is a broad-spectrum CBD oil which has gone through an additional filtration process to remove the THC, but also the plant waxes and the chlorophyll, which tend to affect the taste of the CBD oil.
So in that respect, this is a much more palatable CBD oil, especially when compared to their full-spectrum range.
So how does Hempura CBD oil performs when it comes to its value for money and how does it compare to the CBD oils in our Top 10?
A person between 150 and 240 lbs may need between 20mg and 40mg of CBD per day depending on the severity of their symptoms. A 10ml bottle of their 1000mg CBD oil (retail: £64.99) will therefore last between 25 and 50 days and cost between £1.30 and £2.60 per day (with free shipping over £20), which we think is quite a good value for money product when compared to other CBD brands in our Top 10.
Based on 20mg of CBD per day, here’s how the Top 10 CBD brands stack-up in terms of daily cost:
Strength | Price | Daily Cost | |
Love Hemp | 10% | £99.99 | £0.66 |
Medterra | 10% | £99.99 | £0.67 |
Honest Hemp | 10% | £34.99 | £0.78 |
CBDfx | 5% | £64.99 | £0.80 |
Holistic Hemp | 10% | £40.00 | £0.91 |
Love CBD | 10% | £99.99 | £1.00 |
Four Five CBD | 6% | £107.99 | £1.08 |
Naturecan | 10% | £54.99 | £1.10 |
Provacan | 12% | £69.95 | £1.25 |
Hempura | 10% | £64.99 | £1.30 |
Blessed CBD | 10% | £74.99 | £1.50 |
Endoca CBD | 15% | £119.00 | £1.58 |
Bud & Tender | 10% | £80.00 | £1.60 |
So heavy CBD users will need to place an order every month, whilst mild users may be able to push this to 2 months.
Hempura CBD oil has many advantages over other CBD products such as CBD capsules or CBD gummies.
CBD doesn’t have one-size-fits-all dosing and calculating a proper dosage of CBD can be tough as our bodies react to it differently.
The four major factors affecting your CBD dosage are:
Most brands recommend customers start with the lowest dose and increase until they find the right serving size that fits their needs. The most common starting amount is between 10mg and 25mg. For anxiety and depression, the dose can vary from 20mg to 50mg or more.
As a rule of thumb, a person weighting between 10.5 and 17 stones (approximately 150 and 240 lbs) may need between 20mg and 40mg of CBD per day depending on the severity of their symptoms.
36-68kgs | 68-108kgs | >108 kgs | |
Low | 10mg | 20mg | 40mg |
Medium | 15mg | 30mg | 50mg |
High | 20mg | 40mg | 60mg |
* FSA Guideline: The FSA recommends that healthy adults do not take more than 70mg of CBD daily, unless advised by a doctor.
Taking it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to see how your body reacts to it is also recommended. If you are not seeing any major benefits with a single drop, increase your intake by a single drop every 2 or 3 days until finding the right balance to treat your personal symptoms.
Most bottles of CBD oil contain 10ml of product and come in strengths ranging from 300mg to 2,400mg – also known as 3% and 24% CBD oils. This simply means that in a 1ml drop of the 300mg bottle, you will have 30mg of CBD, whilst the same 1ml of the 2,400mg bottle will give you 8 times that amount for a total of 240mg of CBD.
So assuming you need to hit 25mg of CBD per day with a 10ml bottle, you will need:
CBD / Bottle | CBD / Drop | # Drops |
500mg | 1.25mg | 20 drops |
1000mg | 2.5mg | 10 drops |
1800mg | 4.5mg | 5.5 drops |
2400mg | 6.0mg | 4 drops |
Assuming you are using the 500mg CBD oil for a daily dose of 25mg, you will need to take approximately 20 drops per day (25mg divided by 1.25mg per drop). You could break this down throughout the day by taking 8 drops first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, 6 drops early afternoon and 6 drops at night before going to bed.
If however you bought the 2400mg CBD oil for a daily dose of 25mg, you would only need to take 4 drops per day (25mg divided by 6mg per drop), which you could also spread across the day – 2 in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
With CBD becoming an ever growing market, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has classified CBD as a food supplement and issued a number of recommendations on its website. It is the first country in the world to set recommended limits for CBD consumption and to advise against taking CBD for vulnerable groups – including pregnant women and people taking existing medication.
For healthy adults, the FSA recommends not to take more than 70mg a day, unless it has been advised by a doctor. To put this into perspective, this is about 28 drops of 5% CBD or 14 drops of 10% CBD. This advice is based on the latest scientific information available to the FSA and levels given are for an average 70kg adult so one could deduct that the FSA has set a maximum target of 1mg of CBD per kg of bodyweight.
However, it is worth noting that several studies have found CBD to be safe at higher doses.

CBD oil is legal in the UK as long as the plant which have been grown contain less than 0.2% of THC, the legal limit in the UK. The reason for this is that THC is known to be a psychotropic substance and limiting the amount of THC ensures that CBD is safe to consume and will not have any psychoactive effects. In other words, CBD won’t get you “high”.
You will not be arrested or fined for buying, consuming or carrying CBD products, anywhere in the UK, as long as it has less than 0.2% THC in it.
What is illegal is to grow the hemp plant(s) yourself, at home. Growth for personal use is strictly prohibited by the Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971. To do so, could result in up to 5 years in prison and/or an unlimited fine.
As CBD is eaten or drunk it falls under “novel foods”, which means that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) oversees CBD products and they can therefore enforce new laws and regulations and they have recently done so.
Since the 31st of March 2021, all CBD products must be approved by the FSA in order to be sold in the UK. Failure to do so will result in the products being removed from the shelf. This request for approval means that the exact ingredients within a CBD will be known, making it safer for the general public.
As a CBD company, Hempura plays the transparency card with their customers and is a member of The Vegan Society since July 2019 and is committed to securing the safety of animals and the preservation of the environment by not testing their products on animals and using recyclable materials.
Since many CBD products contain pesticides, herbicides, mould, fungi and dangerous mycotoxins, Hempura are working closely with British Cannabis, a dedicated testing facility in the South East of England, to test all their CBD oils.
In addition to being sourced and extracted from the highest-grade certified organic EU hemp, they guarantee that their products are 100% organic and free of synthetic ingredients.
They allow customers to see their Certificates of Analysis online by entering the relevant batch number into their search bar. Each lab report then breaks down the potency of cannabinoids, the presence of terpenes and flavonoids, as well as the absence of heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides or microbes.
The human body contains a specialized system called the ECS (the endocannabinoid system), which aim is to regulate a variety of functions such as sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. The body also produces endocannabinoids, which are simply neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system.
CBD is believed to interact with specific receptors, specifically the CB1R and CB2R.
Serotonin, or 5-HT, is a neurotransmitter that carries signals from one neuron to the other. CBD increases the level of serotonin, which, in return, helps reduce pain, reduce inflammation as well as provide a range of other health benefits, which include:
