You don’t have to suffer from indecision any longer
Are you one of those people that have a hard time choosing among so many CBD brands?
We have good news for you. . . there’s only a few things you have to look for to make sure you’re buying quality CBD.
Many of us get so worried that we won’t make the right choice or the ‘perfect’ choice,
that we take no action at all.
We become paralyzed by indecision,
not just about purchasing CBD, but about many things in our lives. I know I’ve stood immobile a time or two, not wanting to make anything less than a perfect choice.
And as a result I’ve lost out, I either didn’t make a choice at all, or I finally panicked because I waited too long and then made a quick purchase that I regretted in the end.
How many of you have made that same mistake?
The good news is that we don’t have to chase perfection. If we know the basic things to look for, we can take action and make a good decision and be confident about our choice. Isn’t that what we all want anyway? To believe we made the right choice for ourselves, our families, or even our pets?
Below are some simple criteria to measure a quality CBD oil. If you stick to these basic elements you can be confident in your choice. Could there be ‘something even better’ out there?
Sure there could, there are new brands, new strains of cannabis, and new processing methods being developed everyday. But you can rest assured that until you find the next best thing in the future, you have made a good choice for NOW.
So, take a look at these four factors to look for in a quality CBD product, and take action today.
Extraction Methods
There are a few extraction methods, but you only need to know about two of them.
Some methods use chemicals to extract the CBD from the plant material; this can leave toxic residue in the oil.
**CO2 is the gold standard of extraction and leaves a clean, unadulterated product.
**Ethanol (alcohol) extraction is the other acceptable method, it is cheaper than CO2 extraction because it doesn’t require expensive equipment.
This method is often used for craft varieties.
Third-party Testing
The most important factor that helps you determine quality is third-party lab testing.
The two main items to look for in your lab results are CBD content and contaminants.
**CBD content: there will be a total amount of CBD per bottle and a % ratio of CBD to the whole contents.
Make sure the amount of CBD is equal to or more than the amount listed on the label.
**Contaminants: The lab report will show testing on pesticides, mold and fungus, and heavy metals. Make sure the amounts are below the safe limits. If they aren’t it shouldn’t even pass testing.
Farming Methods
There are some who believe only certified organic farming is reliable.
However, the process to become certified organic is very extensive and expensive.
Many farmers choose to use natural farming methods that meet or exceed certified organic standards.
The brand website will usually describe their cultivation techniques. Many CBD artisans are quite proud of their methods.
If you are interested but are concerned about what methods they use, contact them and request information on their methods. If you don’t get an answer you like. . . move on.
Your Individual Needs
You may have a condition that certain terpenes (elements in the plant that make it smell a particular way and have specific effects) are particularly suited for.
Some brands add extra botanically derived terpenes from other plants, such as rosemary or lavender.
Another factor to take into account is drug testing. While full-spectrum CBD, which has <.3% THC, usually has superior effects, there is a remote possibility it will show up in drug tests.
If drug testing is something you are subject to, you will need to take this into account. There are THC-free isolates available if needed.
