The process begins by extracting CBD from hemp using methods such as CO2 extraction, a technique that efficiently separates cannabinoids from the plant material without the use of harsh chemicals. This results in a high-purity CBD isolate, free from other compounds and suitable for further refinement or chemical transformation.

CBD is transformed into Delta-8 through a chemical reaction that rearranges its molecular structure. This process typically involves dissolving CBD in a solvent and introducing an acid catalyst. Variables such as reaction time, temperature, and the type of catalyst used can be adjusted to influence the yield and purity of the final Delta-8 product.

After isomerization, the mixture contains Delta-8 along with other cannabinoids and byproducts. It then undergoes purification, typically through distillation or chromatography, to remove unwanted compounds. This step ensures a clean, concentrated extract that meets safety and quality standards.

The final product is rigorously tested for potency, purity, and compliance with legal THC limits. Trusted producers use third-party labs to provide Certificates of Analysis (COAs) that detail cannabinoid content and safety. For transparency and peace of mind, we’ve included a COA with Leeru XEL so you can confidently verify its quality and composition.
