In 2021 it’s hard not to want to try CBD – it’s a wellness hit, everybody is talking about it, and CBD products are at nearly every type of store and available from countless retailers online. Still, a careful shopper like you (you must be one since you are reading this article) needs more than just grabbing a random product you see on a shelf of one of the local stores; you need to find a CBD that works! Believe it or not, there’s a 70% that the CBD product you just saw was mislabeled. There’re so many low-grade products on the market and so many good marketers working for CBD companies, anyone can make a wrong choice. So how do you find a hemp-derived CBD product you can trust? It’s relatively simple if you consider the aspects below before making a purchase.
Check the Ingredients
Firstly, begin with checking the ingredients in the products, as you do with any other wellness products. Ensure there are no ingredients you are allergic to (such as gluten) or harmful chemicals. Moreover, see if the product is hemp-derived. In states where marijuana is legal for recreational use, marijuana-derived CBD is also available for sale, containing high THC amounts. THC is a psychoactive compound in cannabis, which is federally illegal. Hemp-derived CBD includes no more than .3% THC (the federally legal amount). Ensure the source of CBD is hemp, not marijuana. If you are on a vegan diet, check the ingredients and see if the product contains gelatin. The animal-derived protein is widely used in CBD gummies and softgels.
Research the Company Online
Shopping for CBD online is convenient, as the internet allows you to find all necessary information about the CBD brand. Even if you’re shopping in-store for a product, always remember to research the brand online. Here you should see:
- A brand’s website
- Information about their products, such as the hemp and methods they use to create CBD
- Online Reviews
- A complete list of ingredients
- Third-party lab test results
A trustworthy brand will have a professionally looking website, which is easy to navigate and allows you to access all kinds of information you need to decide if it’s reliable.
Origin of Hemp
The origin of hemp is one of the most significant factors that determine CBD’s quality. Hemp drives up harmful ingredients from the soil, so it must grow in pure, nutrient-rich soil. Furthermore, it should grow without using pesticides, synthetic fertilizers. Or genetically modified ingredients to avoid possible contamination. USDA oversees hemp cultivation in the United States and provides strict guidelines for hemp farmers; therefore, U.S.-grown hemp is safer than imported hemp grown without adhering to those guidelines. The information about hemp’s origin should be accessible on CBD brands’ websites.
Extraction Method
CBD is CBD, so does it matter how it’s extracted from hemp? Well, it does. There are two primary ways of extracting CBD from hemp – CO2 extraction and liquid extraction. The latter uses butane, propane, ethanol, or other solvents, all of which can leave a toxic residue in the final product. Premium CBD brands use the CO2 extraction method as it’s a safer alternative to liquid extraction without risking contaminating the product.
Potency
The potency of a CBD product means the amount of CBD per bottle and serving. Check the label to see how much CBD is in the product. The higher doesn’t mean the better. The best amount of CBD per bottle depends on your daily CBD dose. Pick the product in a way that it doesn’t provide more than the desired amount of CBD in one serving, or the one you won’t need to consume half a bottle per day to reach your daily CBD dosage. You cannot break CBD softgels apart, so if each capsule contains 50mg of CBD and your daily dose is 25mg, don’t choose that one and look for a product with lower potency.
Third-Party Lab Testing
Remember that there’s a 70% chance of you buying a mislabeled product? Luckily, there’s a convenient way to make sure you eliminate all the risk of acquiring such a product, and that’s third-party lab testing. All reputable and trustworthy brands make third-party lab tests available on their website. Customers can see the amount of CBD and THC per bottle confirmed by an accredited laboratory. Lab tests also prove the purity of a product and that it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, pesticides, toxic residue, or other harmful ingredients.
