Unveiling the Origins: Exploring Where CBD Comes From and How It’s Produced
Ever wonder where your CBD oil or gummies really come from? As the popularity of hemp wellness continues to rise, it’s more important than ever to understand the plant, process, and principles behind what you’re taking. In this article, we’re unveiling the origins of CBD—from seed to supplement—and how The Trusted Lab ensures purity, consistency, and transparency every step of the way.
Where Does CBD Come From?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant, a genetic variety of Cannabis sativa. Unlike marijuana, hemp is cultivated to contain less than 0.3% THC—making it non-intoxicating and federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.
The Hemp Plant: Nature’s Wellness Powerhouse
- Rich in cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBN
- Contains beneficial terpenes and flavonoids
- Grown specifically for therapeutic potential, not recreational use

How Is CBD Extracted from Hemp?
After harvest, CBD is extracted from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant using methods that separate the cannabinoids from plant material. At The Trusted Lab, we use clean, high-integrity methods like:
CO₂ Extraction
- Uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull cannabinoids from the plant
- Leaves no chemical residue
- Preserves more terpenes and other beneficial compounds
Ethanol Extraction
- Uses food-grade ethanol to extract CBD
- Ideal for broad-spectrum and high-volume extractions
We third-party test all extracts for purity, potency, and safety. Transparency is non-negotiable.
Why Clean Sourcing and Production Are Critical
Not all CBD is created equal. Some products may contain contaminants, inaccurate labeling, or imported hemp grown without regulation. At The Trusted Lab, we commit to:
- 🇺🇸 Hemp grown in the United States
- ✅ Lab-tested for potency and purity
- 🌿 Free of heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents
