PURITY
Certified Clinical Purity
Clinical supplementation therapeutics, particularly in the multidimensional case of the endocannabinoid system, must be uncompromising in quality and purity best practices:
100% Certified Organic ingredients and processing – USDA and EU.
cGMP Certified manufacturing facility – BRC Global Standard for Food Safety.
Industry-leading scope of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab purity certifications:
- 450+ Pesticides (w/ Glyphosate)
- 40+ Solvents
- Heavy Metals
- Yeasts and Molds
- Mycotoxins
- Bacteria (Aerobic, Anaerobic BTGN, E.Coli, Salm., Staph. & Pseudom.)
- Water Activity
- Oil Oxidation (Peroxide & p-Anisidine values)
- Oil Hydrolysis (Free Fatty Acids)
Certified Organic Farms
Our specialized organic hemp and macadamia nuts are cultivated by our certified organic partner farms in the United States, European Union, and Africa:
- Organic Hemp Extract and Distillate crafted from proprietary phytocannabinoid-rich organic Hemp varieties grown in Colorado, USA.
