A COA (or C of A) is a “Certificate of Analysis” and is one of the most important tools you have to determine the quality and purity of a CBD product. It is also the most important tool you have to ensure that you are getting the amount of CBD you are paying for. Our recommendation is that you only buy CBD from companies that have their products 3rd party lab tested.

​

Why is a COA important? Because the CBD market right now is in a very gray area, concerning a lot of regulations and you, as a consumer, deserve to know everything about what you are putting into your body.

 

Many people react to regulation in a negative way. (And sometimes we do too because to be blunt, we believe the government should back off of our health and what we do with our bodies.) But, remember, regulations are also the rules that keep people from selling meat that has gone bad, spinach, and other foods with bacterial contamination (like E. coli), and keep your air and water clean. Regulations also keep drugs that cause serious and perhaps deadly side effects off the market and can keep dangerous products off the market.  Regulations also require that the seller provide you the consumer with valid and accurate information about their product—especially about substances that you take into your body or onto your skin.
