Their all-natural hemp is free of pesticides, toxins, herbicides, and heavy metals.

All their products 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.

We reviewed PureKana CBD oil and compared it to the other CBD oils in our Top 10 to see how it compares when it comes to its efficacy, taste and value for money. 

 

CBD Unboxed - PureKana CBD oil review

PureKana have developed one of the widest range of products we’ve come across over the last few years. At the time of writing, they had more than 40 individual CBD products, including CBD oils, CBD gummies, CBD capsules, CBD topicals, CBD vape oils as well as CBD products for pets.

In the CBD oils range, PureKana has focused on both natural and flavoured full-spectrum CBD oils, each available in different strengths and two bottle sizes – 30ml and 60ml.

Their full-spectrum CBD oils are made from organically-grown US hemp mixed with an MCT oil (carrier). Their oils have all the 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. They also contain small amounts of THC, CBN & THCV, ensuring you get the purest CBD possible with a legal amount of THC.

Their CBD oil is incredibly pure and comes from organic, non-GMO hemp. As all their CBD oils come in 30ml or 60ml bottles, so be sure to check the amount of CBD and the size of each bottle as the concentration will vary greatly depending on the oil you choose.

PureKana Natural CBD Oils

CBD (mg) Bottle Price BUY
300mg (1%) 30ml £39 BUY
600mg (2%) 30ml £67 BUY
1000mg (3%) 30ml £101 BUY
1600mg (5%) 30ml £133 BUY
2500mg (4%) 60ml £181 BUY
5000mg (8%) 60ml £283 BUY

PureKana CBD oil 300mg retails at £39 (£0.13 per mg), PureKana CBD oil 600mg at £67 (£0.11 per mg), PureKana CBD oil 100mg at £101 (£0.10 per mg), PureKana CBD oil 1600mg at £133 (£0.83 per mg), PureKana CBD oil 2500mg at £181 (£0.72 per mg) and PureKana CBD oil 5000mg at £283 (£0.057 per mg), so going for the higher concentration oil will usually work out cheaper in the long run as the 5000mg oil is 56% cheaper than the 300mg oil per milligram of CBD.

PureKana Flavoured CBD Oils

If you do not like the natural taste of hemp and prefer flavoured oils instead, you’ll be pleased to know that PureKana have launched 4 different flavours – Vanilla, Citrus, Mint & Fruity – and 4 different strengths – 300mg, 600mg, 1000mg and 1600mg. Below are their 1000mg oils.

PureKana CBD Oil Efficacy

The review carried out by the CBD Unboxed team focused on PureKana CBD Oil 1000mg (3% concentration with MCT oil carrier), which contains all the natural hemp extracts such as Cannabidiol (CBD), CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabicitran), as well as the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids.

As it is a full-spectrum CBD oil, it also contains trace amounts of THC, but it is non-psychoactive as the hemp plant used to produce the CBD extracts contain less than 0.2% THC.

During the two-week period, we took 20mg of CBD in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by 10mg at lunchtime and a further 10mg an hour before bedtime, giving us a total of 40mg of CBD per day.

PureKana CBD Oil for Pain Relief

If you’re looking to use CBD oil for its analgesic (i.e. to relieve pain) and anti-inflammatory properties, PureKana CBD oil is a good option, as their products are some of the best ones available in the UK.

By taking 40mg of their CBD oil, broken down throughout the day (morning, lunchtime, evening), it provided me with good pain relief and it allowed me to simply get on with my day without having to worry about hip pain or discomfort. I was able to remain active throughout the two week product review, and even on days where I increased my physical activity, I was able to perform with little to no discomfort.

Despite the fact that this is only a 3% concentration oil, which means I had to take more drops compare to a 10% concentration product, it performed well and I was able to stop taking traditional painkillers, which is a win in my book especially when you know how bad these can be for you over the long run.

As a final point, it would be interesting to test their higher concentration products, especially PureKana CBD oil 5000mg (8% concentration) as arthritis of the hip joint is incredibly painful and it would be good to see how higher strength products perform in comparison to their 3% concentration. One for our next review.

PureKana CBD Oil for Stress & Sleep

So how did their CBD perform when it comes to reducing stress or improving sleep?

CBD works with the human body to increase calm, decrease stress, and lower anxiety levels. These responses indirectly improve your sleep. In the 1990s, researchers confirmed the body has an endocannabinoid system or ECS, a complex cell-signalling system consisting of endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and enzymes. Scientists believe it plays many roles, including maintaining balance in the body. When it comes to sleep, the ECS helps regulate sleep and sleep cycles.

PureKana CBD oil has helped me feel calmer in the evening and fall asleep faster. It’s also helped me stay asleep throughout the night and I’ve woken up feeling more refreshed most morning. The one drawback of using CBD oil just before going to bed is that my dreams tend to be incredibly vivid, something I’ve experienced with most full-spectrum CBD oils.

Other Benefits of PureKana CBD Oil

CBD is believed to interact with specific receptors, specifically the CB1R and CB2R.

  • CB1 receptors, which are located in various regions of the body, with a large concentration in the central nervous system and brain, co-ordinate mood, emotion, appetite, and other functions.
  • CB2 receptors are more commonly found in the immune system and are responsible for controlling inflammation and pain. CBD stimulates these receptors and induces the body to release serotonin.

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 and stress, as well as provide a range of other health benefits, which include:

  • CBD for Anxiety: CBD has both anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties, and can be a great alternative to anxiety medications which have known side-effects.
  • CBD for Headaches: CBD reduces the frequency of headaches as well as reduce stress and improve sleep, two major triggers of headaches. But CBD also has strong analgesic (pain relief) and antiemetic (prevent vomiting) properties which can help people with headache disorders during an attack.
  • CBD for Arthritis: CBD has antiarthritic, analgesic (pain relief) as well as anti-inflammatory properties and as such is a great option for people suffering from arthritis.
  • CBD for Cancer: CBD helps relieve some of the symptoms of cancer as well as reducing the side of effects of cancer medication such as nausea, vomiting and pain.
  • CBD for Epilepsy: CBD helps reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures in epileptic patients, and may also counteract some of the side effects of traditional anti-epileptic.

So if pain, insomnia, stress or anxiety are impacting your daily life, I would highly recommend you check out PureKana CBD products.

PureKana CBD Oil Taste

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.

A Nice Flavour Profile

After taking PureKana 3% CBD oil for two weeks, it is fair to say that it tastes exactly as we would expect full-spectrum CBD to taste: a little grassy. The first thing we noticed is that their CBD oil is quite light in colour, which is surprising for a full-spectrum CBD oil. The lighter colour usually indicates a more palatable CBD oil – which was definitely the case here as they CBD oil has a rather nice flavour profile.

When swallowing the oil after leaving it under the tongue for 30-60 seconds, you’ll experience a light grassy /earthy but no bitter aftertaste, which is a win in our book! So whilst it tastes as we would expect a full-spectrum unflavoured CBD oil to taste, we simply can’t hold it against PureKana as their oil works very well for pain relief and sleep.

The lighter flavour profile is unexpected and could be explained by the fact that PureKana uses an MCT oil carrier (Coconut oil), which tends to improve the taste of the oil and make it more gentle on the palette.

Regardless of the taste, we think that CBD oil is the best way to consume CBD as it gets absorbed quickly into the bloodstream in comparison to other products such as CBD capsules or CBD gummies, which have to go through the digestive track.

PureKana CBD Oil Value for Money

Whilst we love PureKana 3% CBD oil for its efficacy and its taste, it is unfortunately one of the most expensive CBD oils on the market.

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 30ml bottle of their 1000mg CBD oil (retail: £101.00) will therefore last between 25 and 50 days and cost between £2.02 and £4.04 per day (with free shipping), which we think is incredibly expensive, especially when compared to other CBD brands in our Top 10.

So heavy CBD users will need to place an order every month, whilst mild users may be able to push this to 2 months.

Based on 20mg of CBD per day, here’s how the Top CBD brands reviewed by our team stack-up:

Cost/Day Buy
Medterra £0.60 BUY NOW
Canna Union £0.67 BUY NOW
Honest Hemp £0.78 BUY NOW

Alternative CBD Oils

Whilst PureKana is a great option, a number of other CBD brands in our Top 10 are as efficient, great tasting and better value for money. The alternative oils we would recommend include:

Advantages of PureKana CBD Oil

Purekana CBD oil has many advantages over other CBD products such as CBD capsules or CBD gummies.

  • Increased bioavailability – One of the main advantages of CBD oil over other products is the fact that CBD oil increases bioavailability – which means the amount of product that can be directly used by your body. The faster the CBD is absorbed, the sooner it can get to work. Gummies and edibles will take some time to be processed and broken down by your digestive system, making oil the fastest way to gain the benefits of CBD. When placed under the tongue, it comes into contact with the sublingual gland which speeds up the process of absorption and quickly enters the bloodstream.
  • Easy to Consume – When taken orally, CBD oil is very easy to consume and it also gives you the ability to use doses of the exact strength required thanks to the individual droplets.
  • No Sugar – When CBD is used in the form of gummies, chocolate or other edible products, it may not be in the best health interests of the person to eat such products. For example, people suffering from diabetes will need to carefully manage the food that they eat, and therefore CBD oil may be a better option.
  • No addictive or withdrawal issues – Finally, CBD gummies are a natural remedy that can be taken by almost anyone and possesses none of the addictive or withdrawal issues that other pain management or anxiety medications may present.

Disadvantages of PureKana CBD Oil

Whilst there are mainly advantages in using CBD oil to get your daily dose of CBD using, there are unfortunately a few drawbacks which are worth considering.

  • Less Convenient – If you need to take CBD while in a public place, using CBD oil can be much less discreet than using edibles. While using CBD is not something that you need to hide, using a dropper to place the oil under your tongue may not be the most practical option when out an about, in which case capsules, gummies or other edibles may be preferred.
  • Interaction with other medications – It’s also worth noting that CBD may make it harder for your body to process certain medications, so if you are taking any other medications, be sure to check with your GP before taking CBD products.
  • Minor side effects – Finally, CBD can cause side effects in some people including drowsiness, changes in mood, nausea, and changes in appetite. Every individual will be affected differently, and in most cases, there are no side effects to worry about.

PureKana CBD Oil Dosage

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:

  • Your weight
  • The condition being treated (i.e. depression, chronic pain etc)
  • The severity of your condition
  • The concentration of CBD oil

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.

When using CBD for the first time, we would always recommend starting with a one of two drops of the 3% or 6% CBD oil placed under the tongue (sublingual) and holding it there for at least 30 seconds so it can absorb into the bloodstream.

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.

How Many Drops of PureKana CBD Oil Should You Take?

Whilst it may be confusing at the beginning, it’s incredibly simple to work out how many drops of CBD oil you need to take depending on your daily requirements and the strength of the product you bought.

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.

As with everything, start with a small amount of CBD oil daily to make sure there’s no reaction, then increase slowly by a drop every 1-2 days until finding the right balance.

Great CBD Gummies
“I enjoy your gummies the best. Have tried a few different kinds. Yours are always fresh, arrive fairly quickly. Been a customer for a few yrs. Have only had 1 delivery that was a bit backed up. I’m still working w/the Sleep gummies dose. The taste is good, not sure why you use sugar (stimulate) to go to sleep but that’s where I’m having the challenge is how many will it actually take to assist in going & staying asleep.”
