Not all hemp is the same. There are many different varieties and quality levels of hemp, as a result, not all CBD is the same.
At Viva la Vida Organic, we know that if you want to create the best products available, your process must be driven by perfection. We have partnered with the best in the industry to ensure a higher standard product.
To successfully create the best CBD products, we realized choosing the right partners, with our same vision was critical. We partnered with the largest grower, manufacturer and distributor of hemp-derived phytocannabinoids in the U.S. This partner makes the raw hemp products.
Our innovative product development team ensures that every single ingredient used is meticulously sourced and thoroughly lab tested.
It is this rigorous process that ensures our product formulations are the highest quality possible.
Every single product we create starts with our natural proprietary strains of hemp that are high in CBD. All of our hemp is grown in the United States using nutrient-rich soil.
Our farmers operate under the most stringent guidelines and organic farming processes. This means we end up with a better quality product that is safe and unmatched in consistency and potency.
After the Hemp is harvested, the plants are dried and warehoused. When a plant is needed for production, it is milled into a coarse powder. Our milling process adheres to the highest standards in the industry. Once milled, it is shipped to our processing and manufacturing facility in Colorado.
We use a proprietary hemp extraction and purification process. This ensures that many of hemp’s beneficial phytocannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids are preserved during the process. The result is the highest quality broad spectrum hemp oil available.
CBD on its own offers many amazing benefits. Research has found that a broad spectrum product leads to multiplying benefits. This is known the entourage effect. Once extracted, undesirable plant solids, such as waxes, are removed from the oil.
The hemp extract is then separated from the supercritical CO2 used in the previous extraction process. Once completed, the CO2 is recycled and reused in the distillation process.
One of the most critical steps throughout the process is to extract even the most minute traces of THC. This is the chemical found in cannabis that produces the “high” effect.
Using proprietary technology, we remove unwanted compounds present in the oil. These compounds include wax, chlorophyll, plant pigments and trace amounts of THC. It is then “washed” and “polished.”
When the process is complete, our products contain no detectable THC.
Before we release any batch, it goes through rigorous third-party lab testing. We have set a new bar of testing in the industry. Every batch receives the most comprehensive testing available: microbial (E. coli, yeast, mold), potency (ensuring what’s on the label is in the bottle), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium) and pesticides (60 total).
Each of our products includes a QR code linking to both the internal lab reports on the raw oil and the third-party testing on the finished product.
Our softgels require our oil to go through another processing step. The raw hemp oil goes through a proprietary process that transforms it into nano-sized emulsions. This makes it the most bioavailable broad spectrum CBD in the industry.
Our competitors’ hemp oil particles are anywhere between 100 and 1000 nanometers in size. Our particles are around 25. This small size leads to much more effective absorption.
This nanoemulsion process can make our softgel formulas at least two times more bioavailable than oil-based products. In addition to our nanoemulsion process, we use other proprietary technology to create the water-soluble hemp powder used in our dog treats and energy mix — since your body has difficulty absorbing oil, this water-soluble format is also more bioavailable than standard hemp oil.
What does this mean for you? You can use less of the product made with these processes to achieve the same level of benefit as the products sold by most of our competitors. We think that’s a reason to celebrate.
It’s Simple. The best process in the industry means better products!
At Viva la Vida Organic, our primary goal is to provide the best products and amazing customer service!
