You must have already heard a lot about CBD, and if you have searched for a CBD product to try, you would see countless options on the market. You probably wonder what makes one product better than another and what ingredients are in quality CBD oil. Not all CBD products contain the same ingredients, and some might even be detrimental to your health. If you want to see CBD's results and acquire a safe and effective product, here're the ingredients to look for when buying CBD.

Hemp-Derived CBD

A quality CBD product should contain CBD, it's a no-brainer, but it should come from hemp, not from marijuana (unless you are specifically searching for marijuana-derived CBD). 

In states where recreational marijuana use is permitted per law, marijuana-derived CBD is also widely available for sale. When people talk about CBD, they usually refer to hemp-derived CBD, which should be included in the ingredients list of the product you buy. 

Besides, some mistakenly believe hemp seed oil is the same as CBD oil and acquire it expecting to experience CBD's effects. However, hemp seed oil doesn't contain CBD or any other cannabinoids, and it's different from CBD oil. So, ensure a product you acquire contains hemp-derived CBD.

CBD Extract from US-Grown Hemp

Manufacturers extract CBD from different quality hemp wither from imported hemp (which is a cheaper choice) or use U.S.-grown hemp. Choosing CBD derived from U.S.-grown hemp is an essential step in acquiring quality CBD products. Reputable CBD brands make the information about their production process and hemp origin available on their websites, so always check if they use U.S.-grown hemp.

Why is US-Grown Hemp Better?

USDA oversees hemp cultivation in the U.S. and provides strict guidelines for hemp farmers to avoid contamination. Foreign hemp usually contains harmful ingredients like heavy metals, molds, and pesticides. 

Hemp drives up all toxic components from the soil, so when it grows in contaminated land, it can bring unwanted, harmful ingredients into a product. Farmers in the U.S. don't use pesticides to grow hemp, and U.S-grown hemp grows in nutrient-rich, local soil; thus, it's higher in quality and provides manufacturers with an uncontaminated CBD extract.

CBD Acquired Using Supercritical CO2 Extraction

Manufacturers have two primary options to choose from when extracting CBD from hemp – solvent extraction and CO2 extraction method. Solvent extraction, although cheaper, is a less preferred method as many solvents like ethanol, butane, alcohol, or propane can be destructive to the plant tissue and degrade cannabinoids, resulting in the less potent extract. Furthermore, solvent extraction needs more post-processing for refining the extract, and even after this step, residual solvents may still be present in CBD.

Premium CBD brands prefer the CO2 extraction method. The method uses carbon dioxide gas which becomes a liquid during the extraction process and evaporates after cannabinoids are acquired. It doesn't leave toxic residue and is a much safer alternative to solvent extraction. 

Broad-Spectrum vs. Full-Spectrum CBD

CBD extracts vary with their chemical profiles and fall into two categories – broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD. Although one isn't better than another in terms of quality, some prefer full-spectrum CBD due to the famous entourage effect claiming CBD is more effective when consumed with other cannabinoids. However, for some consumers, even the trace THC amounts in full-spectrum CBD extract can be problematic. These consumers prefer THC-free, broad-spectrum CBD extract with all active hemp compounds, except for the psychoactive THC.

Third-Party Lab Testing Can Confirm The Ingredients in The Bottle

Regardless of what ingredients a CBD label indicates, claims on a label might not be valid 70% of the time. The primary way to determine a product's quality is by looking for third-party lab test results, proving the potency and purity of a product.
