Unfortunately, many of the hemp-based products sold on the market have little to no Cannabidiol (CBD), falling far short of the product label claims. Making matters worse, the hemp-based extracts used as the base of these products may contain contaminants like certain molds and/or heavy metals. At ProVerde, we offer a variety of services to help clients optimize their processes and to help drive product improvements - including homogeneity, stability, and shelf life testing. Cannabinoid Profiles will show the amount of CBD and CBDA (CBD's precursor) in addition to over a half-dozen other cannabinoids so your company can be sure that you're getting what you paid for. Similarly, Mold/Mildew/Fungus/Yeast screenings, E.coli/Salmonella screenings, Mycotoxin screenings, Heavy Metal & Elemental analyses, Residual Solvent (VOC) testing and Pesticide/PGR testing will reveal whether or not you're getting more than what you paid for. Decarboxylation services add additional value to your products by converting all CBDA into CBD, allowing your company to create more CBD products with the same starting material.

Pro leaf labs offers a variety of services not only to help patients and caregivers understand what is in their medical cannabis but also become more effective and efficient in their cultivating, processing and formulating. At a basic level, Cannabinoid Profile tests provide information crucial to properly dosing medication. This is of utmost importance when dealing with orally-ingested products like tinctures, gel-capsules and edibles since the effects of these forms of medication can take up to several hours before their manifestation. Similarly, Terpene Profile tests give the strongest indication as to how a patient "feels" when they consume a particular strain (i.e. sleepy, alert, hungry, happy, etc...). Terpenes, in addition to cannabinoids, also have a wide variety of health benefits ranging from anti-anxiety to anti-cancer. In addition to these potency tests, ProVerde also offers several product-safety tests including Residual Solvent (VOC) testing, Mold/Mildew/Fungus/Yeast screenings, E.coli/Salmonella screenings, Mycotoxin screenings, Heavy Metal & Elemental analyses and Pesticide/Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) testing. These tests are crucial for immuno-compromised patients and a great way for caregivers/cultivators to understand potential sources of contamination.
