5 Key Factors to Consider Before You Buy CBD Products

When you buy CBD online, it is essential to verify the product’s quality and safety. This guide provides a 5-point checklist of non-negotiable standards every trustworthy CBD company, including NuLeaf Naturals, should meet.

Key Takeaways:

• Third-party lab reports are essential for verifying CBD product purity and potency.
• Hemp sourcing from certified organic, licensed farms makes sure a clean and safe product.
• CO2 extraction is the industry’s gold standard for cleanly separating beneficial compounds without harsh chemicals.
• Full spectrum products contain a range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds that work together.
• A reputable company demonstrates transparency through certifications, accessible customer service, and positive feedback.

1. Does the Company Provide Third-Party Lab Reports?

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an independent, accredited lab is the only way to confirm a CBD product’s safety and potency. These reports make sure transparency and verify what is (or isn’t) in your CBD oil.

What to Look For on a COA:

• Potency: The COA should clearly state the exact amount of CBD and other cannabinoids present, matching the product label.
• Purity: Look for verification that the product is free of harmful contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, molds, and residual solvents.

At NuLeaf Naturals, we prioritize your peace of mind. Every one of our products undergoes rigorous third-party lab testing, and we make all of our lab reports easily accessible on our website. This commitment to transparency makes sure you can verify the purity and potency of your purchase.

2. Where and How is the Hemp Grown?

The quality of your CBD product begins with the hemp plant itself. Hemp is a bioaccumulator, meaning it readily absorbs substances from its surrounding environment, including the soil. Therefore, the source and cultivation practices of the hemp are critical indicators of product quality.

High-quality CBD comes from high-quality hemp. NuLeaf Naturals uses certified organic hemp grown on licensed farms in Colorado. Our advanced cultivation program focuses on improving our natural genetics, making sure a safe and regulated product with high potency and consistency. We control the entire farming and production process from seed to shelf to guarantee our products are of the highest quality.

3. What Extraction Method is Used?

The method used to extract CBD from the hemp plant directly impacts the final product’s purity and profile. Some methods use harsh chemical solvents, which can leave undesirable residues.

We use advanced subcritical and supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain a complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, essential oils, and other beneficial phytonutrients. This yields a more potent blend and requires no harsh chemical solvents. CO2 is safe to use in food products and is commonly found in carbonated beverages.

This method makes sure no trace solvents remain in your CBD oil, preserving the delicate terpenes and cannabinoids that contribute to the entourage effect.

4. Is the Product Full Spectrum?

When choosing a CBD product, you will encounter terms like “full spectrum,” “broad spectrum,” and “isolate.” A “full spectrum” or “whole-plant” extract is generally considered a key indicator of a premium product because it includes many of the plant’s other beneficial compounds.

Our partners’ cultivation approach allows for the natural creation of a whole plant CBD extract that is highly concentrated in CBD and contains significant amounts of secondary cannabinoids like CBC, CBG, CBN, and more. When these compounds are present together, they work synergistically to create what is known as the “entourage effect,” which is believed to improving the overall effectiveness of the CBD.

Full spectrum CBD oil is a whole plant extract, meaning it contains all of the compounds found in hemp, including cannabidiol and other cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes. Many consumers prefer full spectrum CBD oil due to this synergistic effect.

5. Is the Company Reputable and Transparent?

Beyond the product itself, the reputation and transparency of the company are crucial. A trustworthy company will stand by its products and prioritize customer satisfaction and safety. Look for companies that demonstrate strong manufacturing practices and offer clear customer support.
