INDEPENDENT Lab Tests

We also validate our tests by employing independent labs across the globe to test our cannabis oil. The labs that we work with are just a few in the world that are qualified and capable of doing the testing that is necessary to meet our quality standards. We make sure there is never a question of what an individual is receiving when they make a purchase.

Potency

We first test for Potency to ascertain the exact amount of Cannabinoids in the product. CBD Oil is not the only Cannabinoid in cannabis, there are over 600 known Cannabinoids in the cannabis plant and a lab test is essential to confirm the level of Cannabinoids to determine the potency and confirm the lawfulness of the products

We test for CBD, CBDA CBC, THC, THCA CBG and CBN.

We primarily want a high potency CBD product but it’s also essential to have small amounts of the other Cannabinoids as it is the synergistic quality also known as the entourage effect of these compounds that makes it truly effective.

Terpenes

We test for terpenes to identify the compounds that produce the colour and distinctive flavours to the final product. Terpenes are considered to have many beneficial effects as well. We test for these compounds to ensure our product has a consistent colour and flavour profile which meets our high standards of production.

Pesticides

We also test for pesticides which is important to analyse so we have assure the safety and purity of the cannabis. If the plant has been treated with pesticides a final product containing a significant concentration of these could cause unwanted side effects. We only use cannabis that is grown organically as nature intended but continue to test for these pesticides to verify our product is 100% organic.

Bacteria

Testing for bacteria or mould on the plant material is also done to ensure there are no harmful pathogens which could be consumed and cause unwanted side effects.

Residual Solvents

Although we do not use solvents with our method of CO2 extraction a complete lab test should also include analyses of residual solvents. Solvents can be used for extraction of CBD when the plant material is turned into oil. High concentrations of solvents can lead to unpleasant health effects and or result in an unsafe product that could be volatile. As we use CO2 extraction, solvents are not used so we run this test to verify that there are no detectable solvents. Ask us a question

Cannabidiol (CBD) is just one of over 85 Cannabinoids presently identified in the cannabis plant and is the second most abundant Cannabinoid in cannabis after THC.

In hemp, however, THC is only present in trace amounts, while CBD dominates the plant’s makeup. CBD interacts with our naturally occurring systems, but is non-psychotropic, it doesn’t cause a high.

We ensure that our products are of the highest quality by monitoring every step of the manufacturing process. From the planting of the seeds, through the complete growing process, to our propriety extraction methods and laboratory testing. Our product manufacturing and worldwide distribution.

The Food Supplements Directive 2002/46/EC defines a food supplement as foodstuffs which supplement a normal diet and which are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physical effect.

Have the MHRA banned CBD?

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have not banned CBD. They do not have the authority to ban CBD and any reports that you have read stating they have are false.

What about the MHRA statement on CBD?

The MHRA have stated that “products containing cannabidiol (CBD) used for medical purposes are a medicine. Medicinal products must have a product licence (marketing authorisation) before they can be legally sold, supplied or advertised in the UK“

Any product that make medicinal claims and are used for medical purposes are classified as medicinal products. It is true that these products do need marketing authorisation.
But the MHRA have not stated that CBD used as a food supplement will require a marketing authorisation. Just that CBD used as a medicine require a marketing authorisation.

Why doesn’t CBD require a marketing authorisation from the MHRA?

As long a CBD product is sold as a food supplement and does not make any medicinal claims. Then they are legally able to be sold in the UK. If the effects of the consumption of a food supplement is no different to that linked to the consumption of hemp as a foodstuff, it cannot be classified as a medicine and does not need marketing authorisation to be sold in the UK.

CBD is legal in the UK if sold as a food supplement. CBD products that are produced using Cannabis Sativa L. (hemp) are able to be legally sold as food supplements. The Food Supplements Directive 2002/46/EC defines a food supplement as foodstuffs which supplement a normal diet and which are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physical effect.

Hemp has been used as a nutritionally rich ingredient for thousands of years. It is also one of the oldest and most sustainable crops to be grown in the world.

No, as stated above. They do not have the authority to impose a blanket ban on CBD and there is currently no immediate threat to consumers or suppliers of CBD products in the UK.

They can however make determinations on a case by case basis and subsequently conclude that a product is a medicine and would require authorisation.

But until they have assessed each case and issued a final determination.  They cannot lawfully impose any restriction on the sale of a product or enforce any action with regards a breach of the medicines act.

A new case would be required for each specific product and for each product  they would have to take in to account of all of the characteristics, in particular its composition, its pharmacological properties, the manner in which it is used, the extent of distribution, its familiarity to consumers and the risks which its use may entail. There is currently no immediate threat to consumers or suppliers of CBD products in the UK. Ask us a question
