With our accreditation, it reveals lab reports, every element of the end product, tests for 260 banned substances in sports, every impurity and pesticide, a test of CBD levels, a test of THC levels. With a few of these third-party tested firms that CBD business are sending out these business to, they’re not using market accepted testing techniques. They’re using in-house laboratory testing. Nobody knows what it’s evaluated against. We use a market worldwide certified laboratory testing to determine all cannabinoids, prohibited substances and CBD content. When we developed the idea of launching Pure Sport CBD, we wanted to work with a producer that could ensure to a tee what they were drawing out.
