CBD Oil Strengths Explained — 1000mg, 3000mg, 6000mg, 12000mg

29 June 2026

What does 1000mg mean on a CBD oil bottle? Plain-language label maths — mg per mL, mg per serving, price-per-mg value comparison, and how to read the concentration percentage on a COA.

The milligram number on a CBD oil label is the total amount of cannabidiol in the entire bottle — not the amount per serving, not the amount per millilitre. A 1000mg CBD oil in a 50ml bottle contains 1000mg of cannabidiol spread across 50ml of liquid: 20mg per millilitre, and 10mg per 0.5ml serving from a standard dropper. This article works through that arithmetic for each of the four cbd oil strengths FraLa CBD stocks, and shows how to use the same calculation to compare price-per-mg across the range.

What "1000mg" Actually Means on the Label

When a product says 1000mg CBD oil, that number is the aggregate: the total milligrams of cannabidiol (CBD) — or CBG, or CBN, depending on the oil type — contained in the whole bottle. It says nothing about what you receive in a single serving.

This matters because two products can carry the same total mg number but deliver very different amounts per use if their bottles are different sizes. A 1000mg oil in a 10ml bottle and a 1000mg oil in a 50ml bottle are not the same thing: the first gives 100mg per mL; the second gives 20mg per mL. Comparing products by the label number alone, without knowing the bottle volume, gives an incomplete picture.

Every FraLa CBD oil comes in a 50ml bottle with a 0.5ml dropper, so the maths is consistent across the range. The total mg tells you what is in the bottle; the volume tells you the concentration; the dropper size tells you what you get per measure. All three numbers appear on the label and on the batch Certificate of Analysis.

The Core Calculation: mg per mL and mg per Serving

The calculation that makes any CBD oil label readable is two steps.

Step 1 — concentration (mg per mL):

Total mg ÷ bottle volume (mL) = mg per mL

Step 2 — per-serving amount:

mg per mL × serving size (mL) = mg per serving

For FraLa CBD's 50ml bottles with a 0.5ml dropper, step 1 divides the label number by 50; step 2 multiplies the result by 0.5. Because 0.5 is half of 1, the per-serving number is simply half the mg/mL figure.

One 50ml bottle with a 0.5ml dropper yields approximately 100 servings — regardless of strength. The dropper does not change. What changes is the concentration of cannabidiol in each millilitre.

For a practical guide to measuring that 0.5ml serving accurately from the dropper, see the guide to taking CBD oil on the FraLa CBD site.

The Four Strengths FraLa CBD Stocks — in Numbers

FraLa CBD carries full-spectrum CBD oil and broad-spectrum CBD oil at four strength tiers, all in the same 50ml format. The table below shows what each number means in practice:

Strength mg per mL mg per 0.5ml serving Price (AUD)
1000mg 20mg/mL 10mg $89.95
3000mg 60mg/mL 30mg $220.00
6000mg 120mg/mL 60mg $390.00
12000mg 240mg/mL 120mg $585.00

Each row is the same bottle size and the same dropper. The only variable is how much cannabidiol is dissolved into those 50ml of MCT (medium-chain triglyceride, coconut-derived) carrier oil. A 12000mg bottle is more concentrated per mL, not a larger bottle.

Price Per Milligram: The Value Calculation

Once you have the per-mL figure, price comparison becomes straightforward arithmetic. Divide the price by the total milligrams:

Price ÷ total mg = price per mg

For the FraLa CBD range at current AUD prices:

Strength Price Price per mg
1000mg $89.95 ~$0.090 per mg
3000mg $220.00 ~$0.073 per mg
6000mg $390.00 ~$0.065 per mg
12000mg $585.00 ~$0.049 per mg

At 12000mg, the cost per milligram is roughly 46% lower than at 1000mg. Buying a higher-strength bottle does not change the dropper size or the number of servings — it changes the amount of cannabidiol delivered per identical measure. Whether a higher amount per serving is what you want is a separate question; the price-per-mg number is simply the arithmetic comparison of value across the range.

This calculation is also the most reliable way to compare any two hemp extract or cannabidiol products on the market, regardless of brand or country of origin. Divide price by total mg. The bottle volume is irrelevant once you have done that division.

What the Concentration Percentage Means on a COA

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) from a third-party laboratory may express cannabinoid content as a percentage rather than — or in addition to — milligrams per millilitre. The conversion is straightforward.

For an oil with a density close to 1g/mL (which MCT-based CBD oils approximate):

mg/mL ÷ 10 ≈ percentage concentration

Working through the FraLa CBD range:

  • 1000mg in 50ml = 20mg/mL2.0% CBD
  • 3000mg in 50ml = 60mg/mL6.0% CBD
  • 6000mg in 50ml = 120mg/mL12.0% CBD
  • 12000mg in 50ml = 240mg/mL24.0% CBD

To cross-check a label claim against a COA: locate the CBD (or CBG, or CBN) figure in the cannabinoid table, note whether it is expressed as %, mg/g, or mg/mL, convert to mg/mL if needed, then multiply by the bottle volume (50) to arrive at the expected total mg. That number should be consistent with the label — within the normal analytical tolerance of a few percent.

If the COA shows a figure significantly lower than the label claims, that is a discrepancy worth querying with the supplier. FraLa CBD sends the batch-specific COA for any product on request — email enquiries@franklauda.com with the lot number from your bottle. The Certificate of Analysis guide explains every section of the document in plain language.

Full-Spectrum and Broad-Spectrum: Does Spectrum Change the Strength Number?

The spectrum type does not alter the total-mg figure. A full-spectrum CBD oil 3000mg and a broad-spectrum CBD oil 3000mg both contain 3000mg of cannabidiol in a 50ml bottle — the same concentration, the same per-serving amount, the same price.

The difference is in what else the extract carries:

  • Full-spectrum CBD oil retains the whole hemp-plant profile, including minor cannabinoids and a trace of THC under 0.3%.
  • Broad-spectrum CBD oil goes through an additional processing step that removes THC, bringing the level to 0% THC, while the remaining cannabinoid profile stays intact.

Both families are available at all four strengths in the FraLa CBD range. The COA for each batch confirms the spectrum: full-spectrum shows THC below 0.3%; broad-spectrum shows THC as ND (not detected). For a full comparison of what each type contains and how it is produced, see the full-spectrum vs broad-spectrum guide.

Common Questions About CBD Oil Strengths

Is a 3000mg CBD oil three times stronger than a 1000mg CBD oil?

In terms of concentration, yes — a 3000mg CBD oil in the same 50ml bottle contains 60mg/mL compared to 20mg/mL for a 1000mg product. Each 0.5ml serving delivers 30mg rather than 10mg. The bottle holds the same number of servings (approximately 100); each serve is three times the amount of cannabidiol.

How many servings are in a FraLa CBD 50ml bottle?

Every 50ml bottle with a 0.5ml dropper gives approximately 100 servings. The number of servings does not change with strength — what changes is the amount of CBD in each of those 100 measures.

How do I check the concentration on a COA?

Find the CBD (or CBG/CBN) figure in the cannabinoid table. If it reads as a percentage, multiply by 10 to get mg/mL, then multiply by 50 to get the expected total mg in a 50ml bottle. Compare that figure against the label. Small analytical variances of a few percent are normal; large discrepancies are worth querying. The Certificate of Analysis guide walks through this step by step.

Does FraLa CBD sell the same strengths in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum?

Yes. Both full-spectrum CBD oil and broad-spectrum CBD oil are available at 1000mg, 3000mg, 6000mg and 12000mg at identical prices within each tier. The spectrum is clearly labelled on each product.

What carrier oil is used in FraLa CBD products?

Every oil in the range uses MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil, derived from coconut. It is neutral in flavour and odourless.
