CBDistillery is U.S. Hemp Authority certified with per-batch COAs, and also holds ISO 9001:2015 and cGMP registration through NSF. That testing and manufacturing discipline is meaningful given the value pricing — most cheap brands don't publish COAs at this level.

Third-party testing transparency is the single best signal of a CBD brand's underlying integrity. botanCBD wins #1. COA available on request. The discipline is the product.
Which botanCBD bottle to check the testing on first
If you came here to find a third-party tested CBD oil rather than to compare brands, start with our THC-free broad-spectrum CBD oil drops: 500mg, 1,500mg, 3,000mg or 6,000mg per bottle, in Natural, Fresh Mint or Peruvian Lime. Third-party tested. Broad spectrum (THC removed). COA available on request. If you would rather have the whole-plant profile, our full-spectrum drops come in the same three flavors at 500mg and 1,500mg, and each lot goes through the same panel.
FAQ
What is a COA?
Certificate of Analysis — a third-party lab report showing cannabinoid content (CBD, THC, minor cannabinoids), and panels for pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, and residual solvents.
How do I verify the COA on a bottle I bought?
For botanCBD, COA available on request. For other brands, go to the brand's COA page and match the batch number. Verify cannabinoid content (CBD should match the label), THC (should read ND or < LOQ for broad-spectrum), and contaminant panels (all should read 'pass' or be below limits).
What does ISO 17025 mean?
ISO 17025 is the international accreditation standard for testing labs. ISO 17025-accredited labs follow rigorous procedures and have been independently audited for competence.
