 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

  1. Product match: The COA should match the product name and batch number.
  2. Cannabinoid profile: Make sure the CBD content matches the product label — no less, and no suspicious extras.
  3. Full-spectrum verification: If the product claims to be full-spectrum, you should see trace cannabinoids like CBG or CBC.
  4. 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.
