Colorado Botanicals

Description

Observer ranked Colorado Botanicals as the #1 CBD company to buy from in 2021, and after learning more about this forward-thinking brand, we understand why.

The company sets itself apart from other CBD companies in two key ways – its proprietary purification process and its intense focus on terpenes.  Most CBD brands use high heat to remove chlorophyll, fats, and waxes from their products, but this approach burns off all the terpenes and other essential compounds in CBD.  Instead, Colorado Botanicals uses a pharmaceutical chemical separation process that leaves terpenes intact while simultaneously removing all traces of THC.

Terpenes matter because they have a host of healing properties and, when terpenes are present with cannabinoids, receptor activity is higher, meaning more powerful CBD effects.  Because Colorado Botanicals’ purification and extraction process naturally retains hemp-derived terpenes, they don’t need to add them from other plants.  When terpenes are added (versus preserved), they can dilute the final product and introduce unwanted compounds, resulting in less effective CBD.

However, what really stood out was Colorado Botanicals’ transparency about the amount of terpenes in its CBD.  The brand’s broad-spectrum products are tested by third-party labs (ProVerde Laboratories, SC Labs, and FESA Labs), its lab results are posted on its website, and those results show that its products actually contain terpenes.  We’ve reviewed a lot of CBD companies, many of whom claim to have terpenes in their products, but it’s extremely rare to encounter a company that shows proof.

Even more impressive, its products are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015, cGMP-compliant facility, ensuring its product offering meets the highest available standards.

Our favorite Colorado Botanicals product is the brand’s 750 mg Broad Spectrum CBD Oil, which contains 25mg of CBD per serving and comes unflavored or in a delicious peppermint flavor.  The brand also sells 1,500mg and 3,000mg bottles as well as gummies, topicals, softgels, and pet products.  Additionally, all Colorado Botanicals products are backed by a 60-day risk-free trial.  Regardless of which item you pick, you’re getting amazing value, high quality, and a truly excellent product.
