Cannabidiol dosage

Cannabidiol (CBD) , identified by CAS number 13956-29-1 , is one of the main cannabinoids found in hemp ( Cannabis sativa ). Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) , it has no psychoactive effects and is widely studied for its relaxing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regulatory effects.

With the rapid development of the hemp-based products market, CBD dosage has become an essential step for:

• Check the regulatory compliance of the products (in particular the THC content).
• Control the quality and purity of the extracts.
• Standardize formulations to ensure consistent effectiveness.

Applications and importance of CBD dosage

CBD is used in several industrial sectors:

• Nutraceuticals : food supplements, oils, capsules, powders and enriched solutions.
• Cosmetics : creams, balms, serums and skincare products incorporating cannabidiol for its soothing and antioxidant effects.
• Wellness products : enriched essential oils, infusions, e-liquids and various formulations.
• Scientific research : pharmacological and clinical studies on the effects of CBD.

Analytical testing is crucial to ensure consumer safety and to meet the legal requirements of the European and international market.

Analytical methods used

Cannabidiol analysis is performed using advanced chromatographic methods, allowing for reliable identification and quantification:

• HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) : used to quantify CBD and distinguish it from other cannabinoids present in an extract.
• LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) : reference method offering high sensitivity and optimal accuracy, even for complex matrices.
• GC-MS (gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry) : suitable for processed products and volatile extracts.

These approaches also make it possible to verify the absence of THC beyond the legal limits.

Sectors affected by CBD dosage

Cannabidiol dosage is relevant to many areas:

• Food supplements and nutraceuticals : validation of CBD content and verification of the absence of THC.
• Cosmetics and skin care : verification of cannabidiol concentration in topical formulations.
• Hemp industry : standardization of extracts and oils intended for processing.
• Wellness and aromatherapy products : securing batches intended for marketing.

Typically analyzed matrices

CBD can be dosed in a wide range of products:

• CBD-enriched hemp oils
• Dietary supplements (capsules, powders, solutions)
• Cosmetics (balms, creams, serums)
• Infusions and food products made from hemp
• E-liquids and flavored preparations
• Raw or standardized hemp extracts

Quality and regulatory issues

CBD dosage addresses strategic issues for manufacturers:

• Consumer safety : by guaranteeing the absence of THC beyond the set limits.
• Legal compliance : essential for marketing on the European and international market.
• Standardization : ensuring a consistent cannabidiol content to maintain product effectiveness.
• Commercial valuation : supporting health and wellness claims with reliable analytical data.
