How to Know You’re Buying Real CBD
What COAs Reveal (and What They Don’t)
The CBD market is booming — and unfortunately, so is the number of products that don’t deliver what they promise. If you care about what goes in (and on) your body, learning how to read a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is essential.
What Is a CBD COA?
A COA is a lab report from a third-party laboratory that verifies what’s actually in your CBD product. It confirms:
- The amount of CBD (and any other cannabinoids)
- Whether it contains contaminants (like pesticides or heavy metals)
- If it has less than the legal limit of THC (<0.3%)
But reading one can be tricky if you’re not sure what to look for.
What to Look for on a CBD COA
- Product match: The COA should match the product name and batch number.
- Cannabinoid profile: Make sure the CBD content matches the product label — no less, and no suspicious extras.
- Full-spectrum verification: If the product claims to be full-spectrum, you should see trace cannabinoids like CBG or CBC.
- Purity results: The “Residual Solvents,” “Microbial,” and “Heavy Metals” sections should all show ND (Not Detected) or “Pass.”
What a COA Doesn’t Tell You
- Where the hemp was grown
- Whether the formulation absorbs well
- How effective it is for stress, sleep, or pain
That’s where trust in the brand — and personal testing — comes in.
