Hemp Quality

Hemp quality determines the quality of the final CBD products. HempMeds knows this theory and sources its hemp from reputable farms in Europe and processes them in the USA. Its hemp is sourced from the Netherlands, where organic farming practices are practiced, and no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides are used on the hemp plants. Moreover, once the CBD is extracted from hemp surfaces, it is tested for the second time (first-time testing) happens when hemp plants are still on-farm.

Buying Experience

Looking at HempMeds’ website, the sheer volume of products may leave you feeling overwhelmed. However, the simple and easily navigable website gives you a wonderful shopping experience. You can shop by function (inflammation, pain, sleep, etc.), by RSHO filtered, decarboxylated, or CBDa-rich, and you can also shop by topicals (roll-ons, salves, and body butter). After shopping, the system prompts you to check out and redeem any discounts, if any, including military veteran discounts. Free shipping is offered for orders worth $100, and the web calculator establishes shipping costs for any orders below $100.

Transparency

The Food and Drug Administration does not regulate or control the production of CBD products. As such, the laws require CBD brands to conduct 3rd party tests to examine the products for the presence of standard contaminants, including heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, residues, and solvents and also confirm that the labeled CBD and THC potencies match the actual content. The CBD brands that stick to these regulations are reputable in the market, and HempMeds is one of them. The company pioneered and employs the triple-testing theory, which tests hemp quality on-farm and after extraction at the processing facilities, and 3rd party testing. It contracts Pro Verde Labs, a reputable laboratory, to test its products for purity and potency, and the results are posted online under the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) section of the website.

Accuracy

HempMeds is fairly up-to-the task when it comes to potency and purity accuracy. We examined the lab results online and noticed that most products in the inventory passed lab tests. This means that their total CBD concentration variances did not supersede the 10% acceptable variance. Moreover, the full-spectrum items with THC did not exceed 0.3% for total THC. Lastly, all the products whose contaminant results were posted online passed purity tests, indicating no detectable heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbials, residues, and solvents.

Manufacturing Process

HempMeds sources its hemp from Europe, specifically from the Netherlands. All the hemp plants in Ned’s farms are grown under natural conditions, and no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other farm inputs are introduced in the cycle, which is why the products test contaminant-free. Besides, all the hemp plants used by HempMeds are organic and non-GMO, and so are the ingredients used to manufacture CBD. First-phase testing happens on-farm where the hemp plants are tested for quality.

Once the hemp matures, it is harvested in the Netherlands, and the clean CO2 extraction method used to strip CBD from the surfaces, resulting in isolates and full-spectrum CBD oil. The CO2 extraction method is considered safe in the CBD industry because it removes CBD and the needed terpenes and flavonoids and leaves behind the unwanted parts without attaching any solvents to the oil. The CBD oil is tested again for quality and packaged, then sent to HempMeds in the USA.

Immediately the extracted CBD oils are received, they are tested to ensure they are safe and meet the needed standards to produce high-quality CBD products. At this stage, the oil is formulated into various consumable forms, including capsules, pet items, vape oils, tinctures, oils, edibles, and topicals. What follows next is 3rd party testing where HempMeds contracts Pro Verde Labs for potency and purity tests and posts the results online in the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) section of the website.

What We Like About the Company

Our review appreciated many things about HempMeds, including;

  • The triple-testing process ensures products are safe for consumption
  • The brand has a centralized online Certificate of Analysis (CoA) hub, where it posts all the 3rd party test results
  • HempMeds tests products for CBD and THC potency and contaminant purity for standard contaminants, including heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, residues, and solvents
  • cGMP certification of the manufacturing facilities ensures high safety standards are followed throughout the manufacturing cycle
  • It uses organic, non-GMO hemp for manufacturing CBD products, which is ideal, considering the controversies around the genetic modification of organisms and consumption of such organisms or their products

  • HempMeds offers free shipping for all orders worth $100 and above
  • The brand values military veterans and grants them discounts
  • The brand has CBD lines with RSHO (real scientific hemp oil) for therapeutic effects, especially for sleep, immunity, and the GI tract

What We Do Not Like About the Company

Although there is every good thing to be admired the CBD pioneer, HempMeds, the brand still needs to improve, especially in the following areas;

  • The sheer volume of products on the website feels overwhelming
  • The money-back-guarantee applies only within the first 14 days of delivery
  • Returns and exchanges only apply to unused and unopened products
  • The brand charges 15% to stock the returned items
  • The $100 free shipping threshold is high and may not be attained by all CBD consumers

Our Verdict

Our review for HempMeds, a subsidiary company under Medical Marijuana Inc, was great. The brand boasts many achievements, including being the CDB oil pioneer in the USA and the world, being the first authorized member of the American Hemp Authority, and being the first CBD brand to speak to the WHO about CBD oil and to gain consent from the federal government to import hemp. Its strongholds include the triple-testing theory, accurate potency lab results, use of organic non-GMO hemp to manufacture CBD products, cGMP certification of its manufacturing facilities, military veteran discounts, and the wide assortment of products. nonetheless, the brand needs to improve some areas to celebrate new milestones in the CBD arena. For instance, its 14-day money-back guarantee is short-lived and limited to unopened, unused products, the free shipping threshold is relatively high, and the stocking fee is also inappropriate.
