Raw Materials

[foundry_image_caption image=”2252″]CBD Isolate is a pure, crystalline, flavorless pharmaceutical grade powder that is 99+% pure CBD. All of the hemp plant matter is removed from the isolate, including oils, waxes, chlorophyll, and more, resulting in CBD powder that is nearly chemically pure. That degree of purity makes it extremely easy to dose accurately. Since it is flavorless, it can be easily introduced into products without altering the flavor profile.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2266″]Compliant Distillate and Full Spectrum Distillate are different names for the same underlying product. Full Spectrum CBD Distillate contains a full spectrum of cannabinoids, meaning it comprises all the same minor cannabinoids found in our broad spectrum distillate as well as a federally compliant level of THC.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2321″]Ultra Broad Spectrum Distillate (USD) is a new product GVB has launched into the raw material cannabinoid market. Ultra Broad Spectrum Distillate is a THC-free distillate with a slightly lower ratio of minor cannabinoids to CBD compared to our Crystal Resistant Distillate (CRD).[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2324″]Broad Spectrum Distillate (BSD) is a highly refined, high-potency THC-free distillate containing 85%+ CBD along with such minor cannabinoids as CBC, CBG, and CBN. The minor cannabinoids make up 2 to 6% of the product. Bulk CBD Distillate is valued because the broad spectrum of cannabinoids is believed to introduce the entourage effect—the belief that taking multiple cannabinoids in concert increases the overall efficacy of any one individual cannabinoid.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2328″]THC-Free CBN Distillate is the perfect product for making CBN infused products where a liquid phase CBN extract is desired, ultra-high potency is not a requisite and price point is key. Produced through a proprietary process CBN Distillate has all the benefits of CBN Isolate at a more affordable price point.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2331″]CBN (cannabinol) is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the hemp plant at very low potency. Our CBN Isolate is therefore produced in a laboratory environment by using either CBD or CBG as a starting material. Then, via a proprietary process, the material is converted into high-purity CBN. After an ensuing repurification step, this becomes a true CBN Isolate. Preliminary, largely anecdotal, research indicates that CBN may be useful as a sleep aid.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2333″]

We offer several water soluble liquid emulsions at a 20% potency (ie. 20mg/g, 50mg/g, and 100mg/g), using a wide variety of cannabinoids. These emulsions are extremely high quality water soluble liquids that all slightly differ in their finished properties relative to transparency, taste, etc. which all differ depending on the drink/finished product you are using them in. Any of our starting material can be used to manufacture this product, through a proprietary conversion process. We are able to create a wide range of water soluble cannabinoids, including, full spectrum water soluble CBD, broad spectrum water soluble CBG, and water soluble CBN.

This distillate is compliant with all existing federal CBD industry regulations, while also containing low levels of THC to provide a more complete cannabinoid profile than broad spectrum extracts. This distillate is typically used for CBG centric products where low, compliant levels of THC are desirable.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2340″]CBDa (cannabidiolic acid) is the acidic precursor of CBD. CBDa isolate mimics the active compounds found in fresh hemp more closely than CBD and is, therefore, more desirable to hemp connoisseurs that want a more complete spectrum included in their CBD products.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2343″]While highly desirable due to very high CBD levels and lack of detectable THC, conventional broad-spectrum distillate has comparably low concentrations of minor cannabinoids. We developed True Spectrum Distillate (TSD) to provide our clients with a bulk ingredient solution that entirely eliminates any detectable presence of THC while maximizing concentrations of minor cannabinoids to the greatest extent possible.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2346″]Hemp biomass is a term used to describe bulk, extraction-grade industrial hemp. In industry parlance, CBD biomass is dried hemp that is intended for extraction in bulk form. GVB’s farming operations produce the company’s own CBD and CBG biomass, which is used for extraction. Notably, CBG Isolate and CBG Broad Spectrum Distillate are coveted products that require large quantities of CBG hemp biomass, which GVB is able to procure and then process for extraction.

[foundry_image_caption image=”2255″]Crystal Resistant Distillate (CRD) is a highly refined, proprietary distillate that contains the broad spectrum of cannabinoids that the market is increasingly demanding. CRD was developed to remain a flowable liquid in its natural form without additives.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2267″]CBG Distillate is a unique bulk cannabinoid that only a handful of companies currently produce and sell in bulk quantity. CBG is a minor cannabinoid found in a number of our CBD-based products.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2322″]Broad Spectrum Distillate (BSD) is a highly refined, high-potency THC-free distillate containing 85%+ CBD along with such minor cannabinoids as CBC, CBG, and CBN. The minor cannabinoids make up 2 to 6% of the product. Bulk CBD Distillate is valued because the broad spectrum of cannabinoids is believed to introduce the entourage effect—the belief that taking multiple cannabinoids in concert increases the overall efficacy of any one individual cannabinoid.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2325″]CBC Isolate is CBC (Cannabichromene) in its purest form. Perfect for producing pure CBC products or for infusing CBC Isolate into other hemp cannabinoid formulations.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2329″]GVB is one of a small number of companies that sell THC-free CBD winterized crude. CBD crude oil refers to the base product produced during the initial extraction of hemp material. GVB’s winterized crude typically ranges in CBD potency from 60% to 70%. Our extraction process allows us to maintain high levels of other cannabinoids as well, such as CBC, CBN, CBG, and CBD-V. Once the extraction process is complete, the crude CBD oil is sent to post-processing where it is winterized and trace elements of THC are removed.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2332″]We produce extremely high quality, water-soluble powder (WSP) that comes in is a 2%, 5% and 10% potency (20mg/g, 50mg/g & 100mg/g). Our water soluble CBD powder is unique in that it is fully soluble, fully transparent, and virtually tasteless! We are able to produce water soluble CBD powder from any of GVB’s raw materials, including Full Spectrum Distillate, Broad Spectrum Distillate, CBD Isolate, and CBG Isolate.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2335″]Certified Organic Non-Detect Distillate (NDD) is a highly refined, high-potency raw material containing 70-80% CBD along with minor cannabinoids such as CBC, CBG, and CBN. The minor cannabinoids make up 2 to 7% of the product. Certified Organic CBD Distillate is valued because the broad spectrum of cannabinoids is believed to induce the entourage effect—the belief that taking multiple cannabinoids in concert increases the overall efficacy of any one individual cannabinoid.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2338″]CBG Isolate is CBG in its purest form—a pure white powder almost exclusively composed of CBG. CBG Isolate has the highest potency of any CBG extract at over 98% CBG.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2344″]UK Compliant THC Free Broad Spectrum Distillate (UKBSD) is a highly refined, high-potency THC and CBN free distillate containing 88%+ CBD along with such minor cannabinoids as CBC, CBG, and CBT. This profile makes it perfect for markets where CBN is prohibited such as the UK and others. The minor cannabinoids make up 2 to 5% of the product. Bulk CBD Distillate is valued because the broad spectrum of cannabinoids is believed to introduce the entourage effect—the belief that taking multiple cannabinoids in concert increases the overall efficacy of any one individual cannabinoid.[/foundry_image_caption][foundry_image_caption image=”2341″]CBDv (Cannabidivarin acid) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in hemp. CBDv Isolate is perfect for producing pure CBDv products or for infusing CBDv Isolate into other hemp cannabinoid formulations[/foundry_image_caption]
