Research

Animal study

Research in whole animals under experimental conditions. Findings can guide hypotheses but are not evidence that a retail product benefits a person.

Cannabinoids

CBN / cannabinol

A cannabinoid formed through THC oxidation and studied in sleep research. Preliminary or mixed study findings do not establish a general sleep-treatment claim.

Checked 2026-10-25

Documents and evidence

COA / certificate of analysis

A document describing a sample and its reported analyses. Read sample identity, dates, laboratory, methods, units, limits and panel coverage together.

Checked 2026-10-25

Labels and units

Concentration: mg/ml

CBD mass divided by liquid volume. A 1500mg label claim in 30ml corresponds to 50mg/ml; concentration is different from the package’s total mass.

Checked 2026-10-25

Labels and units

Hemp extract / formula total

The mass of an extract or blend may contain several components. Do not substitute it for an individually declared CBD-only mass or assign the difference to an unreported cannabinoid.

Research

Human study

Research involving people. Study design, population, comparator and formulation determine what a result can address; the word human alone does not imply strong evidence.

Checked 2026-10-25

Documents and evidence

Independent sampling

Who acquired and submitted the tested sample matters. A third-party laboratory testing a vendor-submitted sample is not automatically independent retail sampling.

Documents and evidence

Issuing-lab confirmation

This site’s document check against a specific issuing-lab record. It is separate from product/package matching, independently purchased sampling and current-shipping-lot confirmation.

Checked 2026-10-25

Documents and evidence

Lot / batch

An identifier for a defined material group. A historical report with a matching product name does not establish which lot a vendor currently ships.

Checked 2026-10-25

Documents and evidence

Original / raw report

The accessible original document and supporting results, rather than only a vendor badge or typed claim. Accessibility alone does not confirm authenticity or current inventory.

Checked 2026-10-25

Labels and units

Per-serving amount

An amount tied to the label’s serving definition. Multiply by explicit servings and exact package count only when those quantities are supported. This is label arithmetic.

Checked 2026-10-25

Labels and units

Whole-package CBD (mg)

The CBD amount in the complete offered package. Price per mg divides that package’s comparable price by CBD alone, excluding THC and total extract.
