CBD (cannabidiol) is one of hundreds of active compounds found in the hemp plant. It is a naturally-occurring, plant-based remedy without any psychoactive effects.

Absolutely not. CBD is non-psychoactive and non-intoxicating, so it will not make you feel high. THC is the cannabinoid responsible for the intoxicating “high” associated with marijuana use. Suntiva removes all traces of THC from our full-plant hemp extract, so that our products are virtually THC-free.

There is a lot of confusion surrounding these three terms. Hemp and marijuana are two subspecies of the cannabis plant. Cannabis has been around and used for thousands of years in many different forms all across the world – it has been used for industrial fiber, fuel, seed oil, food, recreation, religious and spiritual practices and medicine. For different applications, different subspecies of cannabis are used. Hemp is cannabis that contains little to no THC. Marijuana is largely understood as cannabis with high levels of THC used for recreational or medicinal purposes.

Hemp was legalized and further defined by the 2018 Farm Bill as a cannabis plant containing less than a .3% concentration of THC. One reason people grow and utilize hemp is to harness the health benefits of CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids.

Suntiva products are exclusively made using organically grown hemp.

CBD can come in three different forms: broad-spectrum, full-spectrum, or isolate.

Broad-spectrum CBD requires expert level manufacturing to produce, but offers the greatest combination of safety, efficacy, and wellness. Broad-spectrum CBD uses all of the natural ingredients of the hemp plant, but removes the trace levels of THC until THC is no longer detectable. Broad-spectrum CBD has all the benefits of the hemp plant, without the risk of THC.

Full-spectrum CBD is also a full plant extract, but this form of CBD does not include the extra steps required to remove the THC to a level that is non-detectable. Full-spectrum CBD has the same health benefit of broad-spectrum CBD, but for those who are concerned about ingesting even a small amount of THC, full-spectrum CBD is not for you.

Isolate CBD uses a concentration of the CBD molecule and does not include any of the other elements of the hemp plant. Isolate is largely considered an ineffective way to take CBD because it strips away all the parts of the plant that are known to work in concert with CBD, and which also provide their own wellness benefits. Similar to broad-spectrum CBD, Isolate does not contain THC.

Suntiva uses a full-plant extract, broad-spectrum CBD in order to produce the most effective, safe, and reliable products. Our goal is to offer world-class CBD products, with none of the risk and psychoactivity associated with THC.

CBD is a safe, naturally-occurring cannabinoid. When taking CBD products it is important to know that the company you are buying products from is developing their CBD products safely and in compliance with industry standards. That means no pesticides, no heavy metals, no uncertified policies and procedures used during manufacturing. Suntiva uses third-party lab testing to guarantee that our products are safe. Please visit Our Process and our Lab Results sections for more information on our certifications, lab results, and certified manufacturing processes.  

Yes. All of our products are tested.

Suntiva’s manufacturing process is certified to FDA standards. This certification is known as GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). It is a rigorous set of standards that we are proud to comply with. It ensures that every step in our process and every product we manufacture is rigorously tested, traced, and tracked.

Drug tests screen for the presence of THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis – not for CBD. Taking THC-free CBD products (broad-spectrum or isolate), like Suntiva products, will not cause you to fail a drug test.

If drug testing is a significant concern of yours, please review our Lab Results and consult with your primary care physician before taking our Suntiva products.

Everyone’s body is different, and just as people have different responses to Advil or Melatonin, they may also have different responses to CBD.  

The best way to figure out how CBD will affect you is to try it and find the right dosages for you.
