How CBD, CBG, and Delta 8 are Extracted: Understanding the Process Behind Kurativ’s Premium Products
Ever wondered how CBD is extracted from hemp and how additional cannabinoids, like CBG and Delta 8, make their way into our products? This guide will walk you through the basics of how we source the finest ingredients and the meticulous process we use to create high-quality products at Kurativ.
What is CO2 Extraction?
CO2 extraction is widely regarded as the gold standard in the CBD industry. It’s the leading method for extracting cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and Delta 8, ensuring a clean, pure, and highly concentrated product. This process preserves the full benefits of CBD and other cannabinoids while keeping their essential properties intact.
But there’s more to CO2 extraction than just producing clean CBD oil. One of its major advantages is its ability to capture a higher concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes compared to other extraction methods. It also allows us to target specific compounds, like CBG and Delta 8, so we can fine-tune our formulations and offer a wide range of cannabinoid-rich products.
How Does CO2 Extraction Work?
In simple terms, CO2 extraction uses pressurized carbon dioxide to separate CBD from the hemp plant. When pressurized at certain temperatures, CO2 behaves like a solvent, but without the risks or harmful residues associated with traditional solvents.
The process begins by compressing CO2 in a metal tank until it reaches a state where it behaves like both a gas and a liquid. Once the CO2 is pressurized, it’s transferred into a high-pressure chamber along with the hemp plant material. The plant is then "bathed" in CO2, which acts as a solvent, pulling out cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant matter. The result is a concentrated oil that is rich in CBD or other desired cannabinoids.
The beauty of CO2 extraction is its ability to extract these beneficial compounds without introducing harmful chemicals. This method leaves behind only a pure, potent extract, free from unwanted contaminants.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. C02 extraction allows the compound to be extracted in a concentrated form that is safe with minimal contaminants leaving behind pure CBD oil extract.
Why Quality Ingredients Matter
At Kurativ, we take great care to ensure the ingredients in our products are of the highest quality. After extraction, we bottle and package each product with attention to detail, but our commitment to quality doesn’t stop there. Every batch is sent to a third-party laboratory for rigorous testing, ensuring that our products are clean, safe, and meet the highest standards for purity and potency.
