Veritas Farms Review April 2024

Company Analysis

Veritas Farms is a company located in Pueblo, Colorado, and founded in 2011. It is committed to growing high-quality hemp through a sustainable cultivation process backed by industry-standard quality control testing.

The company’s vertically-integrated business model ensures that the entire hemp production and shipping happen at Veritas Farms. These processes include hemp-growing, phytocannabinoid extraction, manufacturing, and delivery of the final products.

At its core is its business philosophy: “healthy people, healthy plants, healthy planet.”

The company believes in providing high-quality, full-spectrum products to the public, educating its community on the distinct benefits of the different CBD oil types, and protecting the earth by employing eco-friendly processes in the production and shipment of Veritas Farms’ products.

Aligned with its promise of using sustainable farming practices, Veritas Farms has developed its fertilizer. Aiming to conserve water from the Rocky Mountains, the company also uses drip irrigation, so that each plant is properly hydrated while using minimal amounts of water.

Veritas Farms uses natural pest repellents, like pepper spray and ladybugs, for its products.  

Unlike most of its competitors that primarily use CBD in their products, Veritas Farms uses other naturally-occurring cannabinoids found in hemp plants. These phytocannabinoids include cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol(CBN).

Research on rodents has found that CBG might have neuroprotective properties useful in the treatment of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress⁽¹⁾.

Meanwhile, a study conducted in mice revealed that CBN might have appetite-stimulating properties⁽²⁾.

Results from these animal studies may be useful in further studies on humans.

Cannabinoids are substances that interact with the endocannabinoid system to help it with various functions, like sleep, memory, pain perception, and appetite⁽³⁾.

Recommended for Optimizing Wellness

Veritas Farms promotes the use of full-spectrum products because it believes in the purported benefits of the synergy of all the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the hemp plant.

This synergistic effect believed to have full therapeutic benefits is known as the entourage effect.

All of Veritas Farms’ CBD products are made from full-spectrum hemp extracts, except for Veritas Farms’ CBD gummies which are made from CBD isolates or pure cannabidiol.

Since these gummies do not have tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the other components of the Cannabis sativa plant, they may not be as effective as a full-spectrum product that uses all of the plant’s components. 

Source of Hemp

Veritas Farms sources its non-GMO hemp from its Colorado farms. Unlike other CBD manufacturers that grow hemp plants from seeds, Veritas Farms cultivates clones from mother plants.

Clones are clipped from the mother plants and subjected to a rooting process that typically lasts for a week or two. For the vegetative stage to begin, the plants are transferred to pots to grow more due to increased light exposure. 

In the flowering stage, the plants start to bud and produce trichomes and hair-like follicles.

Trichomes are found in the aerial parts of a plant (stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, or seeds) that help protect the plant from high temperatures, ultraviolet light, and radiation⁽⁴⁾.

Once the hemp plants have been harvested, they are hung to dry and stripped of their buds and leaves. Upon reaching the standard moisture level, the hemp plants are ground and prepared for extraction. 

Popular Product 

Veritas Farms’ most popular product is the full-spectrum CBD tincture. It comes in different sizes: 250mg, 500mg, 1,000mg, 1,500mg, and 2,000mg. More experienced users may go for its unflavored variant.

First-time users or individuals who are averse to CBD’s grassy taste may purchase its citrus, peppermint, watermelon, or strawberry flavors.

The tincture’s full-spectrum hemp oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers of Veritas Farms’ home-grown hemp plants. The oil also contains organic, fractionated coconut oil.

Flavored CBD tinctures also have organic stevia, essential oils, and natural flavorings.

Veritas Farms’ CBD tinctures may be used as needed. For added efficacy, these tinctures should be used in conjunction with other CBD products.

Administration of this product is easy. Users may place up to one full dropper of CBD oil sublingually (under the tongue). After keeping it under the tongue for one minute to a minute and a half, users swallow the CBD oil tincture. 

For easier ingestion, users may also combine the product with warm or cold beverages.

Note that CBD hemp oil is different from hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil is derived from hemp seeds, which have little CBD amounts or none.

Types Sold 

All Veritas Farms CBD products are full-spectrum except for the gummies which are made from CBD isolates.

Range of Products/Forms

Veritas Farms has an extensive product line, ranging from CBD products for humans to CBD pet solutions. 

The company sells CBD tinctures, capsules, gummies, CBD salves, roll-ons, lotions, lip balms, massage oils, and sports creams.

This brand also has a beauty line featuring eye creams, night creams, day creams, blemish creams, and a complete set of skincare products in a beauty kit.

Veritas Farms offers bundles, such as its stress kit. This set consists of a full-spectrum CBD tincture, a full-spectrum CBD roll-on, CBD gummies, full-spectrum CBD capsules, and a full-spectrum hemp oil pet tincture. The kit is designed to help individuals have peace of mind.

A 2019 study conducted in human test subjects has shown that CBD might have calming effects in the central nervous system⁽⁵⁾.

The company has also designed products for pets. These items include a hot spot oil, salves, ear cleaning solutions, pet tinctures, dog chews, and a pet care kit featuring a collection of different products formulated for pets.

Prices 

Veritas Farms’ products range from $3.99 for the full-spectrum CBD lip balm to $199.99 for the 2,000mg full-spectrum CBD tincture

Extraction Method 

To extract CBD and the other cannabinoids from the hemp plant, Veritas Farms uses the organic ethanol extraction method.

According to Veritas Farms, during a cold ethanol extraction, the active compounds are pulled from the hemp’s cellulose material, resulting in pure full-spectrum hemp oils.

Veritas Farms refines the oils further by removing ethanol traces from these oils through chromatography.

The company uses several tools for product quality control. One such protocol is the use of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyzer. 

The HPLC analyzer monitors cannabinoid levels and determines if the company’s industrial hemp complies with the standards and policies set by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. 

Lab Testing Transparency

Veritas Farms’ third-party lab results are available online. These reports may be accessed via QR codes. 

However, some lab results require passwords to be accessed. Some products have also not been tested by independent third-party laboratories. 

CBD Concentration per Serving Range

Veritas Farms’ 500mg full-spectrum CBD tincture contains 506.29mg of CBD per container. This product may be classified as 5% CBD oil, or those products with 500mg CBD.

5% CBD oils may be effective for users who are just starting with CBD products or are using CBD for its reported calming and anxiety-reducing effects⁽⁶⁾.

This type of CBD oil also provides a more affordable alternative to customers.

However, individuals who plan to use CBD more often than once a day are encouraged to purchase stronger tinctures, such as Veritas Farms’ 100ml large-format tincture.

Potency

For Veritas Farms’ 500mg full-spectrum CBD tincture, the CBD concentration or potency is 16.78mg/g

To determine a product’s potency, users may evaluate the concentrations of the cannabinoids present in the sample.  

Potency may be determined by measuring the concentration of the cannabinoids in the sample in terms of total percentage by weight (mass).

The weight signifies the percentage of cannabinoid present in the product. Meanwhile, the concentration refers to the amount of cannabinoid broken down into milligrams per gram for reference.

In the 500mg full-spectrum CBD tincture’s certificate of analysis (COA), there are significant amounts of CBG present. 

THC Range of Products % (less than 0.3% – nonpsychoactive)

For Veritas Farms’ 500mg full-spectrum CBD tincture, max THC is 0.072% or 0.720mg/g. 

Flavors

Veritas Farms products come in the following flavors:

• French Vanilla 
• Orange Creme
• Watermelon
• Cherry 
• Mango 
• Strawberry
• Unflavored
• Citrus
• Peppermint
• Strawberry
• Wild Berry
• Bacon (for pets)
• Tuna (for pets)

Aside from flavorings, Veritas Farms has scent options. It has unscented CBD full-spectrum lotions, minted lavender scent, and fruity patchouli scent. 

Lab Testing Availability

Lab test results are available online and accessible through QR codes. However, some product lab results require passwords to be accessed.

Tincture Carrier Oil

Veritas Farms’ CBD tinctures are made from full-spectrum hemp extracts with organic fractionated coconut oil as the carrier oil. This coconut oil is also known as a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil.

Using MCT oil as carrier oil is safer than using harsh chemicals, such as CO2, to extract CBD oil⁽⁷⁾. 

Lab Results

Certificates of analysis from independent and certified third-party laboratories are accessible on the Veritas Farms website. These tests guarantee the purity of Veritas Farms products from solvents and heavy metals.

Aside from making these tests accessible, the company also promotes transparency by offering tours of its farms and laboratories. 

Price Range

Veritas Farms products range from $3.99 for the full-spectrum CBD lip balm to $199.99 for the 2,000mg full-spectrum CBD tincture.

Guarantee

The company’s control over the entire process guarantees the quality, potency, and freshness of its products. 

Contaminants

Veritas Farms claims that independent third-party laboratories test for its products’ purity from heavy metals and solvents. 

Its products have passed the test for contaminants. However, some were not tested for mycotoxins. 

Vegan and Gluten-Free

Select products are gluten-free, including Veritas Farms’ rejuvenating night cream. Meanwhile, its full-spectrum CBD capsules are vegan, gluten-free, and kosher. They do not contain artificial ingredients.

Veritas Farms claims that its skincare line is free from animal products. This skincare collection, which includes the cucumber eye cream, hyaluronic day cream, and mattifying blemish cream, is also free from gluten.

Veritas Farms’ Salve Review

Veritas Farms offers CBD topicals, such as lotions and salves. Its full-spectrum CBD salves have hemp oil extracted from the company’s home-grown hemp. 

Veritas Farms’ salves are made from organic extra virgin coconut oil, beeswax, and essential oils (except for the unscented variant). They may be used to help in medical conditions involving pain. 

Studies have shown that CBD might help alleviate inflammation and pain⁽⁹⁾.

Aside from their unscented version, Veritas Farms’ salves are available in cooling menthol and lavender eucalyptus scents. These scents may provide therapeutic benefits when the salve is used during massages. 

Veritas Farms’ Dog Paw Rescue Review

Aside from CBD salves for humans, Veritas Farms also offers a full-spectrum dog paw rescue, which is a salve that moisturizes and soothes pets’ paws.

This salve is infused with full-spectrum hemp oil and made with shea butter, beeswax, St. John’s wort extract, rosemary extract, vitamin E, and calendula extract. 

Veritas Farms’ dog paw rescue creates a calming sensation when applied to calloused or rough paws and pads. Pet parents may simply rub the salve into their pets’ hardened paws and massage gently.

The salve is made from organic ingredients, so pet owners do not need to worry about their pets licking their paws after the salve is applied.

Veritas Farms also offers other pet care products, such as hot spot oils, pet tinctures, ear cleaning solutions, and dog chews. 

Conclusion

Veritas Farms is a company that values sustainability and quality control. Its vertically-integrated business model guarantees that new products and best-selling items are subjected to stringent protocols before being made available in the market.

The company’s farming methods reflect how sustainability is one of Veritas Farms’ core values. 

The brand has several formats that maximize the Cannabis sativa’s components, especially its cannabinoids. Veritas Farms promotes the use of full-spectrum products and believes that these products are more effective than broad-spectrum products and CBD isolates.

The brand’s product line is extensive and includes popular CBD products, like tinctures, skincare, pet solutions, and hand sanitizers. Veritas Farms’ products also come in various stock keeping units (SKUs), giving consumers more options. 

Before using Veritas Farms’ products, consumers are encouraged to consult with their doctors first.
