Analytics & Testing

Consumer Safety And Product Efficacy Are Our Top Priorities

End-to-End Validation That Goes Beyond Compliance

Testing is at the foundation of everything we do. It is more than our corporate responsibility; it is core to our identity.

Obtaining accurate analytics is an ongoing challenge for the cannabis industry. There's no regulation that governs the type of equipment, testing protocols, or calibration standards used by labs to enforce consistency. Businesses must understand testing procedures to proactively find and vet reliable labs to work with.

CBD Global uses accredited third-party labs that only employ validated analytical standards used in clinical research and pharmaceutical manufacturing settings. These standards were designed for accuracy and repeatability.

Our testing begins at the farm and continues through the distribution of finished goods. Post-sale patient monitoring measures product bioavailability and bioefficacy, creating a feedback loop of information for product development and formula improvement, which exists as an endless living cycle.

Analytics & Testing Of All Product Stages CBD Global

THC Compliance

Biomass Testing

All pre-harvest and post-harvest biomass is tested to show legal adherence to THC content of less than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. After approval, the material begins lot and batch tracking, storage, and processing.

This same initial potency COA identifies all other base cannabinoid levels and relative ratios to each other, serving as a chain of custody to validate that all extracts are derived from their listed biomass source.

Our Choice of 3rd Party Labs

Third-party labs that meet CBDG’s qualification criteria must:

■ Be ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited & recognized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
■ Be Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registered
■ Post their Standards of Deviation
■ Have more sensitive Limits of Quantitation (LOQs) than the industry average
■ Be willing to discuss their protocols and results
■ Be focused on quality over volume

Potency Level

Tests on Final Products

Every product we formulate is tested for potency levels to confirm that the expected cannabinoid content is, in fact, the true content. Other specialty tests and analyses are performed on unique products such as our True Nano™ water. Using a Malvern Zetasizer Non-Invasive Backscatter (NIBS), which is not commonly found in cannabis-focused testing labs, allows us to accurately measure nanoparticle size (7nm).

Academic & Clinical Partnerships for

Consumer Monitoring Studies

CBD Global collects clinical data from volunteer patient studies that tests the absorption rates and effectiveness of multiple product formulations and delivery methods. This work provides invaluable data for ongoing adjustment of cannabinoid and terpene levels as well as other complimentary botanicals used in our supplements and Over the Counter Drug (OTC) products.

Hemoscreen™

(Cannabinoid Blood Tests)

Used to measure blood absorption and cannabinoid concentration levels over time for analyzing formulations and mode of delivery. This data establishes more accurate dosage and regimen plans.

Radiobinding Assays

(CB1/CB2 Receptor Binding Affinity of Cannabinoids)

Tracking cannabinoids to their targeted sites and measuring receptor binding success allows us to analyze relative changes between unique human demographics and different formulation profiles.

Oncology Formula

January 8, 2022

I ordered a 120 ml bottle of your oncology/immunity terpenes in April of this year. I had been diagnosed with Lymphoma which was progressing to Leukemia, most likely from exposure to Agent Orange when I was serving in Vietnam with the Australian forces.

My white cell count has been rising steadily for three years, and I had my regular blood test after I had been using your product for about 6 months.

The cancer specialist stated that my white cell count had plateaued and even started to decline. This is unusual with Leukemia and I told him the only change I made was using your oil. He did not say much about it except to keep using it if I thought it was helping, which I obviously believed it was. I have gone immediately from 6 monthly checks to yearly checks and he seemed to think that it was unlikely to require anything more than that.

Further to that my niece had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had chemo and surgery to remove the lumps. After about a year they started to re-appear, so I made her up some oil and sent it to her. After using it for three months she went in for her check up and the new tumors had pretty much shrunk to nothing and they could find no problems with her blood tests. She also told her specialist that the only change she had made was using your oil and he pretty much said the same thing as my cancer guy.

In a nutshell, thank you very much from myself and my niece. I believe your product has made the difference.
