Is Your CBD Product Legit? How to Find a Quality Product?

Finding out what is in the food we buy at the grocery store is not too difficult. This is because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA requires that food labels should provide information on calories, fat, and carbs. We can decide whether or not to buy something because of this standardized method.

However, CBD products do not have a standard label, unlike food.

Pharmacies and health food stores alike seem to be selling CBD products these days. However, not every product is made equally. You can better understand precisely what you are taking into your body by learning to read the CBD label. It can be very confusing to read and comprehend the labels on CBD products, particularly if you are new to the drug.

This blog will walk you through every critical detail to look for on the label of a CBD product. Let's dive in!

CBD basics

Hemp and cannabis plants contain the cannabinoid CBD (cannabidiol). It can be extracted and infused into a variety of products, including foods, oils, capsules, and more, to experience its benefits without ingesting any plant material.

For thousands of years, ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese, Persians, Romans, and others have utilized cannabis as a medical plant to treat a variety of ailments, from pain and nausea to parasites.

Cannabis and hemp also contain THC, known for its psychoactive effects. Hence, it is critical to know the distinction between CBD and THC when buying hemp derived CBD products.

CBD Vs. THC

Cannabis plants naturally contain both THC and CBD. They may, however, differ in concentration across the many species of these plants.

The chief psychoactive component of the cannabis plant is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. When you consume an edible or smoke marijuana, it is what gives you a feeling of "high."

Cannabidiol (CBD) is taken out from the cannabis plant as well. Although CBD and THC are linked, CBD is not psychoactive and does not provide the same "high" feelings as THC. While it is more readily available than THC in the United States, selling CBD is subject to state-specific regulations.

Hemp Vs. Marijuana

Cannabis plants include both hemp and marijuana. The difference is that marijuana plants have greater amounts of THC than hemp plants, which have THC levels of no more than 0.3%.

You can find CBD products from either hemp, like hemp oil softgel, or from marijuana.

You might be able to purchase CBD products made from hemp or marijuana, depending on where you reside and the regulations in your state. You might only be able to get CBD products made from hemp, or you might not be able to get any CBD products at all.

We sell high-quality CBD products made exclusively from USA-grown hemp. Hence, you can rest assured that our products will not give you intoxicating effects of high THC levels. Instead, our hemp derived CBD products will help you improve your health and wellness.

What to look for in CBD product labels?

The types of CBD products

The kind of CBD product is usually mentioned on the label. This might be CBD isolate, full-spectrum CBD, or broad-spectrum CBD.

• Full-spectrum CBD products, like CBD gummies with THC, include THC along with all other naturally occurring substances found in cannabis plants.
• Broad-spectrum CBD products contain all cannabinoids except for THC.
• CBD isolate is made up entirely of pure CBD and no additional substances.

Other ingredients present in CBD products

The extra substances in CBD products are listed in an ingredient list on the labels.

It is vital to be aware of the carrier oils in many CBD products, often derived from plants or nuts. Sugar or other sweeteners may be added to CBD products. You should read up any words in the ingredients list you are unsure of.

CBD concentration

Determining the precise amount of CBD you are getting per serving is one of the most confusing elements of CBD labeling. For example, a bottle of gummies CBD usually has two numbers: the volume of gummies (measured in grams or g) and the amount of CBD (measured in milligrams or mg) in the container.

The total milligrams of CBD present in the bottle or container are often used to define the quantity of CBD. Our product labels have clear instructions as to what amount of CBD is present in one gummy. Hence, it is easy to determine your daily dose.

CBD serving size

You can also find out the serving size and quantity on CBD labels. This is crucial if you are attempting to control your dosage. For instance, you would want to know how much CBD is in each gummy to determine how many you should eat at once.

Additionally, the CBD labels display the overall quantity of product and recommended dosage.

Third-party lab testing

In the US, CBD is not governed by the FDA. Because of this, it can be quite challenging to know what you are getting. However, buying a CBD product that has undergone independent testing is one method to guarantee that you are getting a high-quality, safe product.

A Certificate of Analysis, or COA, is a guarantee associated with reliable CBD products. It means that a third-party laboratory has examined the product. Sultan CBD sells high-quality products that are third-party tested. You can find COA on our website.

If you are buying full- or broad-spectrum CBD, the COA will display the product's cannabinoid profile. Other cannabinoids found in the product, such as cannabichromene (CBC), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN), will also be included in this list.

Final words!

With the knowledge you now possess to interpret CBD labels, you can confidently browse products and select the ideal one for your needs.
