How to recognize premium CBD oil?
Not all CBD oils are equal. Some will quickly find their place in your health and well-being routine, others will not bring you anything special, other than a few tens of euros less in your bank account. But how to recognize top quality CBD oil? Several objective criteria will help you identify the right products.
The cannabinoid spectrum
CBD oils fall into three main categories:
- Isolate, which is 100% CBD oil;
- Full-spectrum CBD oil, which contains all of the plant's natural cannabinoids and terpenes, including a small amount of THC, within the limits of the law (less than 0.3%);
- Broad spectrum CBD oil, similar to full spectrum but without THC and sometimes with less CBG, CBN and/or CBC.
As a general rule, full spectrum CBD oils are considered “premium”in that they give you all the good things that the hemp plant has to offer.
Full spectrum CBD oil: the entourage effect Full-spectrum CBD oils are popular for the entourage effect, a phenomenon where cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds naturally found in cannabis work synergistically to amplify the benefits of hemp while mitigating its effects secondary. Concretely, with a full-spectrum CBD oil, the soothing, pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects will be more powerful than with an “isolate” type CBD oil. |
The source of the hemp plant
The quality of CBD oil strongly depends on the hemp cultivation from which it comes. Plants grown organically, without pesticides or herbicides, in controlled environments, guarantee the absence of heavy metals or contaminants.
The CBD oils that we offer you come from hemp crops located in Liguria, in the northwest of Italy, a region known worldwide for the quality of its cannabis plants. It must be said that the generous sun, fertile soil, temperate climate and Mediterranean breeze allow plants to grow in the best conditions and develop exceptional terpenes.
The extraction method
The supercritical CO2 extraction method remains the safest and most effective for obtaining high-quality CBD oil. It allows cannabidiol and other useful cannabinoids to be extracted without toxic solvent residues. We are therefore on hemp oils full of good cannabinoids, even broad or full spectrum.
Oils tested in independent laboratories
How to recognize a premium CBD oil? It must have been tested in an independent laboratory!
Clearly, your product must be accompanied by a mention of a laboratory test which certifies the displayed concentration, the cannabinoid profile, the absence of contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides and compliance with the rate maximum THC in France, which must be less than 0.3%.
All the CBD oils that 321CBD offers you have been rigorously tested in a laboratory in France to certify their compliance with the law and confirm their quality, particularly in terms of organoleptic properties.
A CBD oil validated by consumers
Consumer feedback and ratings will allow you to judge the taste, texture and effects of the CBD oil you are considering. This is why 321CBD encourages its customers to express their views in the “opinions” section which is located at the bottom of all of our product sheets.
And the concentration of CBD?
Here, we will have to be nuanced. Contrary to what one might think, a premium CBD oil is not necessarily an ultra-potent CBD oil. Indeed, a product that displays a light concentration, say 5%, may perfectly be of better quality than a CBD oil at 25% or 30%.
There is no such thing as “good concentration” in absolute terms. A 30% CBD oil is not (at all) indicated for a consumer who is just starting out, while a 5% CBD oil will simply be useless for someone used to legal hemp products.
