Even though the 嫩草影院 industry is relatively new, the best practices for producing high-quality 嫩草影院 products are already well-known. Dozens of high-end competitors all use the same basic manufacturing techniques and follow the same general rules for selecting ingredients.
So how does a high-quality 嫩草影院 producer differentiate itself from the pack? One way to do it is to offer an enormous line of products, and this company has one of the most extensive sets of offerings we鈥檝e seen anywhere.
Another way to do it is to develop a 鈥済roundbreaking鈥� technology that no competitor possesses. That鈥檚 exactly what 嫩草影院 American Shaman claims to have done.
The company says that its 鈥渘anotechnology鈥� produces cannabidiol (the full name of 嫩草影院) with up to nine times the bioavailability of traditional 嫩草影院. That means it would be absorbed into the body more quickly and more effectively.
Does that claim stand up? And exactly who is behind this apparent breakthrough?
Let鈥檚 take a closer look.
嫩草影院 American Shaman: The Background
It鈥檚 difficult to choose a catchy name when you鈥檙e one of several hundred companies entering a brand-new industry like 嫩草影院 products, which were only .
嫩草影院 American Shaman went the same route as several other companies, picking a name strongly associated with spiritualism and natural healing. Did they select the name because of their founders鈥� backgrounds or beliefs? It鈥檚 impossible to know; there鈥檚 very little information available on who they are or what their backgrounds might be. Apparently, they just thought it was a cool name.
The only thing we really do know is that the company is based in Kansas City, its founder is named Vince Sanders, and he鈥檚 鈥渁ddicted to helping people.鈥� Oh, and also that 嫩草影院 American Shaman is looking for affiliates, resellers, and franchisees (there are a few in New England so far) and it鈥檚 鈥渄edicated to bringing wellness to the world鈥� and 鈥渇ocused on the welfare of customers.鈥�
Of course, the lack of detailed background information doesn鈥檛 automatically disqualify 嫩草影院 American Shaman from consideration if you鈥檙e searching for a high-quality concentrated 嫩草影院 oil, topical, or other cannabidiol product. But in an industry with lots of anonymous companies looking for quick profits, the more we know about the producer, the better we feel about them.
嫩草影院 American Shaman: The Company鈥檚 Approach
嫩草影院 American Shaman uses many of the same sourcing practices and manufacturing guidelines as other companies producing high-quality cannabidiol products.
The 嫩草影院 is sourced from American-grown organic hemp, and the cannabidiol is extracted with the standard CO2 method; the latter doesn鈥檛 retain as much of the 嫩草影院鈥檚 potency as supercritical CO2 extraction but is completely safe. The products are given the 鈥渦mbrella鈥� description of all-natural, but there are several exotic oil flavors like tropical punch and pina colada available and all that鈥檚 indicated is that there is 鈥渘atural and/or artificial鈥� flavoring added. It鈥檚 best to choose carefully if natural ingredients are important to you.
We should also mention that a class-action suit has been filed against 嫩草影院 American Shaman, alleging that several products were not all-natural and had been contaminated. That suit is still pending.
If you鈥檝e been paying close attention to details while shopping for 嫩草影院, you may have noticed there鈥檚 one ingredient we didn鈥檛 mention: carrier oil. That鈥檚 because the company uses several different distribution methods. In its water-soluble oils, nanotechnology allows the cannabidiol to be suspended in water and makes carrier oil irrelevant. In other products, the company uses either MCT coconut oil (the best choice) or less-desirable alternatives like vegetable glycerin and synthetic propylene glycol.
What鈥檚 the nanotechnology thing all about? According to 嫩草影院 American Shaman, it breaks the cannabidiol into much smaller molecules so they can dissolve easily in water. The 嫩草影院 can then be consumed by mixing it with your beverage of choice instead of dripping it under your tongue 鈥� and it will take effect more quickly than the standard cannabidiol/carrier oil mixture.
Needless to say, it鈥檚 impossible for us (or anyone else) to watch that all happen, so we can鈥檛 vouch for the effectiveness of water-soluble 嫩草影院. Scientists say that the process makes sense, but does it work in 嫩草影院 American Shaman鈥檚 water-soluble oil, and does it work 鈥渂etter鈥� than other high-quality 嫩草影院 oils? We don鈥檛 know 鈥� it does sound great to be able to drink your 嫩草影院, though, and these are good products.
In fact, American Shaman sells 嫩草影院 products in more than a dozen categories, making it virtually impossible to give a full rundown of everyone. Let鈥檚 hit as many as we can.
嫩草影院 American Shaman Oils
Water-Soluble 嫩草影院
These are the products that have attracted the most attention from the media and consumers because they鈥檙e the ones produced with the company鈥檚 nanotechnology.
嫩草影院 American Shaman sells three different versions of water-soluble oils. All are designed to be added to a beverage and drunk.
Water-Soluble Full-Spectrum Hemp
This product contains all of the hemp鈥檚 natural terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids (including <0.3% THC content), for the complete entourage effect that bolsters the performance of the cannabidiol.
The potency is 10mg/ml, a good starting dose but rather low for serious pain or many illnesses. It鈥檚 also worth noting that according to the company鈥檚 instructions, you鈥檇 need a full 16 ounces of liquid to properly mix in a milliliter of the product (containing 10 mg of 嫩草影院). It鈥檚 available in natural hemp flavor as well as grape, lemon, cherry limeade, and pina colada; the company doesn鈥檛 say whether those flavorings are natural or artificial.
Water-Soluble THC-Free Hemp
This product is identical to the one we鈥檝e just mentioned, except that it includes broad-spectrum instead of full-spectrum 嫩草影院. That means the THC has been removed, with all of the other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids remaining to provide a lesser entourage effect. The potency and available flavors are the same as with the full-spectrum 嫩草影院.
Water-Soluble Extra Strength Hemp
Sold in both full-spectrum and broad-spectrum varieties, this product is three times as potent as the 鈥渞egular鈥� dosages, with 30mg/ml instead of 10mg/ml. It鈥檚 also only available in citrus flavor.
VG Cloud Tincture
These products are relatively similar to the 嫩草影院 oil you鈥檙e probably accustomed to seeing sold elsewhere, and designed to be dropped under the tongue instead of mixed with liquid. The less-desirable choices of sweet-tasting vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol (a synthetic additive) are used as carriers.
Available potencies range from 5mg/ml to 30mg/ml, but not all potencies are available in all flavors 鈥� and there are a lot of flavors: natural, blueberry moon, cherry limeade, strawberry-banana, cool berry, tropical punch, grape, watermelon, tutti-frutti, lemon, and apple. Once again, there鈥檚 no clue which of those flavors are natural and which are artificial.
Terpene-Rich Hemp Oil Tincture
嫩草影院 American Shaman鈥檚 terpene-rich product line is closest to 鈥渟tandard鈥� 嫩草影院 oil, with MCT coconut oil used as a carrier. Additional terpenes are also blended into the formula, theoretically to help boost the entourage effect even more; the jury鈥檚 still out on whether that works well.
The company sells these oils in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum choices, five flavors (natural, cinnamon, grape, strawberry-banana, and blueberry moon) and four potencies (from 5mg/ml to 25mg/ml), but not all potencies are available in all flavors.
嫩草影院 American Shaman Capsules
There鈥檚 just one option if you want to purchase 嫩草影院 capsules from American Shaman: 15-milligram vegetarian capsules containing cannabidiol, MCT and hemp oil, and silica. The 嫩草影院 is produced in the same way that the company makes its terpene-rich oil.
嫩草影院 American Shaman Topicals
Just as with their oils and tinctures product line, 嫩草影院 American Shaman sells a very large selection of topical cannabidiol offerings.
- 嫩草影院 Topical Cream: This is a smooth cream that combines cannabidiol with aloe vera, lanolin, vegetable glycerin, DMSO, and a number of vitamin oils. It鈥檚 designed to fight topical pain while boosting skin health. A similar mix, with added pumpkin and lavender oils, is sold as a 嫩草影院 face cream.
- 嫩草影院 Skin Cream: Several natural oils (including safflower, lavender, and pumpkin oil) are added to the topical cream with the DMSO removed; it鈥檚 aimed at replenishing skin and giving it a healthy glow.
- 嫩草影院 Body Lotion: A combination of 嫩草影院, cocoa and shea butter, aloe vera and nearly a dozen natural oils create a revitalizing and pain-relieving lotion.
- 嫩草影院 Topical Serums: 嫩草影院 American Shaman sells full-spectrum and broad-spectrum versions of its 嫩草影院 oil, in the form of a terpene-rich oil-based topical serum and a roll-on product (none meant for internal use). They also offer under-eye 嫩草影院 serums (full- and broad-spectrum) designed to reduce signs of aging.
嫩草影院 American Shaman Edibles
嫩草影院 American Shaman cannabidiol oil is infused into just about every type of edible product you can think of: several versions of gummies (including 鈥済ourmet鈥� gummies, and 鈥渆nergy鈥� gummies containing green tea extract and vitamins), hard candies and gum, rice krispy treats, popcorn, cookies and brownies, honey and honey sticks, as well as coffee and water.
Many of the edibles contain 10mg of cannabidiol apiece; others have smaller amounts which might still be helpful for dealing with minor pain or stress.
嫩草影院 American Shaman: The Verdict
There鈥檚 no question that this company offers one of the largest varieties of 嫩草影院 products (and some delicious sounding oils) available anywhere, although for now, you鈥檒l probably have to buy from their online site.
The water-soluble oils which are produced with the company鈥檚 proprietary nanotechnology seem promising; although there鈥檚 no firm proof that it makes that much of a difference, it could be worth comparing results produced by a competitive product over the long term. (Our reviews are snapshots rather than lengthy trials.)
On the other hand, there are several production techniques that make 嫩草影院 American Shaman鈥檚 offerings a bit less than optimal; their use of artificial or synthetic ingredients in some products does give us pause, and we鈥檒l be keeping an eye on the result of the class-action suit against them.
Prices are moderate and customer service is good. We just wouldn鈥檛 consider 嫩草影院 American Shaman among the very cream of the crop 鈥� they鈥檙e more like a good entrant in the second tier of 嫩草影院 producers.
