There are a lot of CBD products available online and in retail stores. A lot of companies claim organic CBD oil but is that product USDA certified organic? Organic CBD oil is the only choice when choosing a CBD oil.
Can CBD be USDA Certified Organic?
With the 2018 farm bill passage, hemp and CBD production were legalized as long as the final product contained less than 0.3% THC. Because of this, the USDA now allows CBD brands to be registered certified organic. If you are searching for organic CBD products, the best place to check is on the USDA Organic Integrity Database. There are strict protocols, inspections, record-keeping, and reports for a company to be apart of that database. You have seen that USDA organic seal (shown below) at many different stores. All of those products that contain that seal will be on the database.
Why Organic CBD Oil?
Hemp, which CBD oil comes from, is an excellent absorbent of nutrients in the soil it is grown in. When a farmer uses organic practices or is certified organic, they are using nasty toxins like pesticides and fertilizers on these hemp plants. The hemp plant is going to soak up all these nasty toxins and concentrate them in the plant. Studies have shown that chemical pesticides can increase the risk of certain diseases. We only extract hemp that is USDA certified organic to avoid these synthetic chemicals. The solvent we use to extract is USDA certified organic sugar cane ethanol. Our organic CBD products only contain ingredients that are also certified organic. Every step of the process, we follow organic protocols.
