There seems to be no shortage of CBD related products and companies getting into the market these days. Lets face it, interest in CBD has skyrocketed. Its with good reason since there are countless people who are really finding it helpful.
There are so many companies in the market it can be difficult to navigate. Key thing to remember is that not all CBD is created equal. You will find some that really create quality products and it really does start with the source of raw materials (i.e Hemp).
You find others that skip those steps and create cheaper products that lack the quality. They come from materials outside of the United States that use questionable practices. These could lead to potential toxins in your CBD.
However, today I am going to review and discuss Green Compass (Green Compass Global) and some of their products. Is there anything that makes them different? What about the quality of their CBD products? Should you consider purchasing a Green Compass CBD Product?
The Quick Background On Green Compass Global
Green Compass is a CBD company that is based out of Southeastern North Carolina (United States). The company is founded by Sterling and Meredith Cook. This really interesting aspect about Green Compass is that the founders are farmers.
Yup, you heard that right. I said farmers. This is where things really get neat and become a breath of fresh air. The goal of the company was to be able to create the highest quality CBD and control the process completely from their family farms to the final product.
That is absolutely fascinating. The Green Compass farmers have over 6 generations of farming experience and grow and cultivate their proprietary hemp on their farms and integrate it completely to the final seal on the product. This allows them to have greater control of the CBD and product quality.
Other companies mainly purchased it from outside farms. Now to be clear there is nothing wrong with that. However, the problem can be that some may bring in cheaper hemp from overseas countries that use questionable farming practices. Its very important to know the source of hemp otherwise you can risk potential toxins making its way back into your CBD product.
Green Compass simply controls this entire process from the beginning with the soil on their farms. The Hemp is grown organically on their farm and is USDA Organically Certified. The source of hemp is absolutely essential to the quality of the CBD and final product.
Types Of Products Offered By Green Compass
Green Compass does have a number of products available which do include the brick and mortar tinctures (extracts) and topicals. Just recently they have expanded to more skin care options. Check out the Skin Care Section further below.
CBD Extracts and Tinctures
Green Compass offers CBD Tinctures (Extracts) in a few different flavors and concentrations. They also offer both Full Spectrum and CBD Isolate (THC Free). The Extracts are created utilizing organically derived CBD from their USDA Organically Certified Farms. The CBD is also extracted utilizing CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) extraction which is the optimal and cleanest extraction method.
Strength levels begin at 500 mg but up to 2500 mg is available depending on your specific needs. Flavor varieties include, natural, mint, cinnamon and citrus. Sometimes all flavors may not always be available for each strength or product (Isolate or Full Spectrum). You will have to check the site for availability.
There are new editions to the tinctures product line. Now Broad Spectrum CBD is available. Broad Spectrum differs from a Full Spectrum where it contains other natural cannabinoids (along with CBD – cannabidiol) but without THC. In short CBD Isolates contain only CBD (no THC), Full Spectrums contain other natural cannabinoids (including low levels of THC, which is 0.3% or less). Broad Spectrums can be a happy medium for those who would like to see the positive effects from other natural cannabinoids in additional to CBD but without the THC.
Green Compass also recently introduced CBDA Isolate (Cannabidiolic Acid) to its product line (January 2022). This product contains no THC and includes a number of helpful health and wellness benefits.
CBD Topicals, Lotions and Creams
Green Compass also has topical creams and lotions. They include topical soothing creams, pain relief creams, pain patches, hand and foot creams. These all contain CBD from their USDA Certified Organic Farms.
Topical Soothing Creams: These are general creams that also utilize CBD (150 mg) as one of the key ingredients. The creams can help with general skin care as well as muscle and joint pain.
Reduce Pain Relief Creams: These are formulated utilizing a proprietary blend of CBD (300 mg) and menthol (& other ingredients) to assist with pain relief associated with joint inflammation and physical activity. This cream contains both higher levels of CBD and other active ingredients for greater pain relief vs the topical soothing creams.
Nano Jellies
These high quality organic edibles utilize a proprietary formula to improve the bioavailability of an edible CBD product. In one of my previous posts I have shared some insight on how edibles can potentially lead to a lack of optimal absorption of CBD in the body. However, Green Compass’ formula improves the bioavailability of CBD in a water soluble state by 10X. This can prove to be an excellent product for those who wish to use a more traditional method (oral) versus the sublingual tincture.
Remember this product is also USDA Certified Organic and they have been extremely popular since their rollout!
Pet CBD Tinctures
Well we can’t leave out our furry friends out from the relief of CBD. Yes, CBD can be potentially beneficial for your dogs too. Currently there are two varieties available which include 250 mg and 500 mg. There is a natural flavor but also a bacon flavor available. Now why isn’t bacon flavor available for people?
Skin Care Products
Green Compass also has a number of skin care products. These high quality products will also utilize the organic CBD in skin care products. The skincare market is a huge industry sector. It would make sense for CBD skincare products to fit in with the current growing sector. These items utilize the same quality CBD to develop products focused for skincare. They include moisturizers, peptide cream and exfoliation pads. Items can even be purchased in bundles.
Powerful Combinations Of Both Essential Oil and CBD Oil
Now there are products that can utilize the power of essential oil in conjunction with CBD oil. Products Such as the Ice Blend infuse a powerful combination of essential oils and CBD to help sooth those joints and muscle aches.
Hydrate And Energize Powders
Hydrate and Energize Powders are now here. They are packed with high quality ingredients to help you naturally replenish your electrolytes and boost your energy. These products make a perfect additional to you CBD routine.
Product Highlights:
- 100% USDA Certified Organic
- Made with real fruit
- Made with our proprietary Nano-Enhanced Hemp Flower Terpenes
- Non-GMO
- Gluten-free, dairy-free, and kosher
- No added sugars, artificial colors, or flavors
Quality Control of Green Compass CBD Oil
Green Compass also always tests their products utilizing independent 3rd party lab testing. Any high quality CBD manufacturer should always utilize independent 3rd party lab testing. If you want to see the test for the batch of your product specifically there is something really easy you can do. Just scan the code on the bottom of your product to review the batch lab report. Pretty cool, right?
Pricing of Green Compass CBD Products
The pricing is fair and right in line with the industry. Green Compass does have preferred customer discounts that will save you an extra 20%!
There are products that may be cheaper but always be cautious of overly cheap products. You ultimately get what you pay for. Buying Organic is going to cost more but its important in order to remove the possibility of outside toxins making it back to your CBD Products.
Using the CO2 extraction method (as Green Compass does) is more expensive but it drastically improves the quality of the CBD. There are cheaper extraction options such as using petroleum based extraction methods and even cheaper imported hemp. These may lead to a cheaper product but less quality and effectiveness.
You will always be the one responsible for deciding what is best for you. However, the folks at Green Compass will simply not cut any corners to produce an inferior product. That is important and for those who want the safest, and best quality CBD available either for yourself or loved ones, that is an absolute must.
Overall Review of Green Compass CBD Products
While writing this review its important that I be as unbiased as possible. However, there are Pros and Cons to everything. So here are some to consider.
Pros of Green Compass Products
- Green Compass Owns and operates its own farms and controls products completely from the seed to the seal on the product
- Green Compass Hemp Farms are USDA Organically Certified
- Strong Focus On Product Quality & Safety (all products are tested with independent labs)
- Sold Online & Personalized Through Independent Distributors (I have this as a Pro & Con as it depends on your opinion)
- 100 % Legal In All US States
- Fully Compliant With All US Based Laws Utilizing Legal Experts In The Field
Cons of Green Compass Products
- Product Lines Not As Broad As Others
- Sold Online & Personalized Through Independent Distributors (I have this as a Pro & Con as it depends on your opinion)
- Not The Cheapest (I wouldn’t purchase a cheap CBD oil but that is your call)
- Products Currently Available In US Only
An additional note on the product lines. Its true that they have expanded and will continue to expand on products, however no products will be listed unless they are fully compliant. Some other CBD companies may push the threshold on trendy and gimmicky products (I am skeptical of those and you won’t really find them here).
Additionally, there are no edible products sold. There are still some legal grey areas with CBD edibles of food products. Additionally, there are some Pros and Cons to CBD food and edibles.
Looking for some outstanding CBD products! Here is what I recommend – Nuleaf Naturals! Take A Look.
I hope you found this helpful.
Stay empowered and informed.
