Not All CBD is Created Equal

It is crucial for CBD products to undergo lab testing to determine their cannabinoid profile, potency, and to check for contaminants and toxins. Without proper lab testing, it is difficult to know the composition and quality of the CBD product.

Potency or strength of CBD products can vary significantly, ranging from low percentages to high percentages. The potency of CBD directly affects its effectiveness, and higher potency CBD products are generally priced higher.

However, it's important to distinguish potency from strength. The strength of a CBD product refers to the total amount of CBD in the bottle, regardless of the bottle size. For example, a 1oz bottle with 1000mg of CBD is twice as strong as a 2oz bottle with 1000mg of CBD. This distinction is crucial for consumers to understand what they are getting in terms of CBD content.

To ensure transparency and accuracy, it's recommended to check the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for a CBD product. The COA provides information about potency, including the percentage of CBD and other cannabinoids present in the product. It also verifies that the active THC content is below the legal limit of 0.3%. Any additional ingredients are likely fillers such as MCT Oil or Hemp Seed Oil.

Choosing organic and certified clean CBD products is important to avoid potential contamination by pesticides, fertilizers, molds, or heavy metals. Knowing the sourcing and production methods can help ensure the safety and quality of the CBD product.

Whole plant CBD products contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, bioflavonoids, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants found in the original cannabis plant. These components may work synergistically to produce potential therapeutic effects.

It's worth noting that "medical hemp" is a term used to differentiate high CBD cannabis flower from industrial hemp. Medical hemp typically refers to cannabis flower with higher CBD content, which is preferred for medicinal purposes. Industrial hemp, on the other hand, tends to have fewer flowers and is often used for purposes other than medicinal use.

Sunset Hills CBD has one of the highest potency percentages on the market, with potency levels reaching the 90% range. Additionally, their THC levels meet the legal limits of 0.3% or less.

When considering CBD products, it's important to assess various factors such as lab testing, potency, strength, organic/certified clean status, whole plant extraction, and sourcing to make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and preferences.
