Functional Remedies CBD Oils - Review

OVER 25 YEARS OF SUPERIOR PLANT GENETICS

Our Chief Science Officer, Tim Gordon has dedicated 25+ years cross-breeding and improving hemp strains to produce the most nutrient-rich plants from genetically-superior seeds. And with our patented processes, the result is the highest quality hemp oil with 100% to 600% more phytocompounds -- a proven fact verified by third party lab testing. No other hemp oil company can match our decades of tireless research and development. And no other hemp oil company has access to our genetically-superior plants.

PROPRIETARY LIPID INFUSION PROCESS

We spent years developing our proprietary lipid infusion process that preserves natural cellular bonds and yields phytonutrient-rich, full-spectrum hemp oil that’s incredibly efficacious. Lipid infusion is completely unique and much more effective than the harsh CO2 extraction processes used by most hemp oil companies. CO2 extraction uses high pressure and/or chemical solvents to fracture cells which greatly diminishes phytonutrient content. LEARN MORE ABOUT LIPID INFUSION

FULL-SPECTRUM HEMP OIL IS THE DIFFERENCE

By utilizing the whole plant in our patented process, we produce full-spectrum hemp oil that is far superior to single-molecule, “isolate” hemp oils (aka the “C” term, found on the shelves). Only full-spectrum hemp oil can deliver the entourage effect which refers to the combined effect of the cannabinoids PLUS the essential terpenes, flavonoids and other beneficial compounds in the plant working together in synergy. As a result, Functional Remedies full-spectrum hemp oils foster enhanced therapeutic benefits that other hemp oils lack. LEARN MORE ABOUT FULL-SPECTRUM

VERTICALLY INTEGRATED FOR SEED-TO-BOTTLE CONTROL

Our vertical integration model ensures 100% control of the entire process from seed to bottle to produce the highest quality, single-origin hemp oil. We cultivate by hand on our own farm using sustainable methods, and process in our own labs. We never compromise our industry-leading standards, and our products are never made from concentrate.

As growers, we know that for a fact that not all hemp is not equal. Low grade industrial hemp from Europe, China, and Canada is usually low in phytocompounds and is often full of impurities including toxic heavy metals.

TESTED AND VERIFIED FOR MAXIMUM EFFICACY

Functional Remedies use multiple accredited, third-party labs to identify, record and analyze the phytonutrient compounds in our proprietary hemp strains. We cross-breed specific strains using genetic sequencing in our R&D facility which are cultivated in our greenhouses and outdoor farms without pesticides of any kind. Our hemp flower is then independently tested to be certain it contains highest possible phytocompound concentrations and the broadest spectrum of phytonutrients, essential terpenes, and is free of heavy metals and any impurities.

ONE REASON WHY WE’RE THE WORLD’S HEMP AUTHORITY

Tim Gordon is rooted in the very origins of the hemp oil industry. He serves as the Board President for the Colorado Hemp Association, is an Advisor for the National Hemp Association, consults with government entities on hemp legislation, and is one of the most sought-after, international hemp experts with speaking engagements across the globe. No other hemp oil company can match Functional Remedies’ history, experience and authority nor its tireless accumulation of expertise.

Our Thoughts

I've been a huge proponent of hemp oils for a while now and I love trying new vendors with tinctures and other items because not one of the products is ever the same as another vendor. There are always little variations in how the oil was distilled or extracted or treated, etc. What I do look for that is the same across all the vendors is that they all are full-plant spectrum products. 

While I have been on hemp oil for a while, I didn't notice much of a difference between the Functional Remedies and my current, well loved brand. The Functional Remedies oil was a little thicker and I noticed a little bit of a musky taste with the tincture I was sent. The taste is not enough to turn me off from this brand but it is enough for me to use a juice or water chaser when I use the tincture. 

What I really enjoy about this brand is the sustainability, seed to bottle, and that it is a full-plant product. What I do not enjoy is that when asked for the Certificate of Analysis (CoA), the representative I was working with didn't know what a CoA was and I had to track it down through the website's chat feature. When I finally got the CoA,  it shows that there is 0.13% THC and only 3.29% CBD in this tincture. While the 0.13% THC is below the federally regulated 0.30% mandated for CBD products, it's definitely enough for me to think about taking this supplement more than just occasionally. I will be watching this company though and rechecking their Certificate of Analysis for other products.

Functional Remedies does offer capsules, oil, salve and looks to have a pet and equine product line coming.
