The surge in the popularity of CBD products in recent years has been nothing short of remarkable. However, for consumers, it’s vital to understand the underlying details, such as third-party testing, CBD concentration, and how to read a Certificate of Analysis (COA). In this blog, we’ll unpack these essential points and illustrate how HONA CBD ensures the highest standard of product quality.
Third-party testing is a process where CBD products are analyzed and tested by an independent laboratory not affiliated with the manufacturer or distributor. These independent labs examine the product’s safety, quality, and purity. They verify the claimed levels of CBD and other compounds, check for contaminants, and confirm whether the product is isolate, full-spectrum, or broad-spectrum. This process helps maintain transparency, accountability, and consumer confidence.
The concentration of CBD in a product refers to the total amount of CBD present, usually measured in milligrams (mg). This concentration is then divided among the servings in the product. For example, a 30ml bottle of CBD oil with 300mg CBD means each milliliter (ml) contains 10mg of CBD.
The CBD concentration per serving is vital to ensure proper dosage. It’s advised to start with a lower dose and gradually increase if necessary. Remember, every person is different, so it might take some experimentation to find your ideal dose.
A COA, or Certificate of Analysis, is a document issued by an independent lab that verifies a product’s quality and contents. It should include the following:
Cannabinoid Profile: This section reveals the amount of CBD and other cannabinoids (like THC, CBC, CBG, etc.) in the product.
Terpene Profile: Terpenes are aromatic compounds in hemp that also have potential health benefits. This section shows which terpenes and in what concentration are present.
Contaminant Testing: The COA should report on contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes to ensure the product is safe for consumption.
CBD Isolate: This is the purest form of CBD, with all other compounds removed, including other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. It’s best for those who want only CBD or need to avoid THC entirely.
Full-Spectrum CBD: Contains all naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant, including CBD, minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and a legal limit of THC (<0.3%). This form can provide what is known as the “entourage effect,” where all compounds work together synergistically.
Broad-Spectrum CBD: Similar to full-spectrum but without any THC. It’s a middle ground for those who want the benefits of the entourage effect but need or prefer to avoid THC.
