About Green Balance CBD
Why did we start Green Balance CBD?
In many ways, the CBD/hemp industry chose us! We were first introduced to CBD about 4 years ago while living in San Diego. Because there was so much information available from varied sources, we decided to conduct our own in-depth research. Once we began researching hemp we realized we could balance our wellness regime with a simple and sustainable solution. Soon after, we began using CBD oil daily. Within days of feeling its positive effects, we became advocates. In the simplest of terms, CBD balanced our bodies.Green Balance became a LLC in July 2018. Trust and transparency are crucial to us and help to set Green Balance apart from others. Our mission became to educate others, dispel the myths of hemp, encourage others to protect the environment, and partner with other like-minded businesses to help keep our communities strong. CBD is about living healthy, not high.Join us at Green Balance CBD in the quest for living pain free and find your balance by using the world’s oldest natural medicine. Stay Green. Stay Balanced.~Ryan and Karen
About Green Balance Hemp – Our Farm
Our organic hemp is grown at our partner farm just outside of Denver, CO. We are 100% vertically integrated, giving us control over every aspect of our hemp and CBD supply chain. Our farm to formulation approach allows us to reduce costs and streamline processes to ensure product quality and consistency. Green Balance hemp is monogenetic, which allows you to enjoy the same taste and potency from batch to batch as each harvest continually comes from the same genetic strain.
Each season, we grow over 500 acres of USDA-certified organic land as well as over 600 acres of transitional organic land. Our industrial hemp is grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals and no harsh solvents or chemicals are used throughout our extraction and purification processes. We believe in doing things the right way. That’s the only way to truly provide the highest quality CBD on the market and exceptional products to our customers with every order. Green Balance CBD is proud to comply with the highest industry standards: Sub-Zero extraction – Certified to USDA organic regulations – ISO9001 approved – Non-GMO– Certified FDA registered facility – CO Department of Agriculture certified
Sub Zero Extraction involves freezing the plant to around -20 degrees for about 24 hours. The extraction process consists of first, soaking the frozen hemp with frozen Food-Grade, USDA organic sugar cane alcohol, next using a centrifuge, the alcohol tincture mixture is separated from the plant. The alcohol tincture mixture now has CBD, other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in the alcohol and is filtered to remove any plant particulates. The last step is pumping the alcohol tincture mix through a falling film, heated column, which evaporates off the alcohol and leaves behind the high-quality, ready-to-use full-spectrum extract.
An advantage of this extraction method is that a high-quality hemp plant can become a full spectrum extract without further extractions, which means it likely benefits the most from the entourage effect.
Why? Because the plant components are working together synergistically increasing the beneficial properties provided by the extract [2]. These high quality full spectrum extracts are a promising choice for therapeutic benefits [3].
That’s the gist of the process, but the most compelling part is the amazing benefits of Sub Zero Extraction:
– Get a concentration of 61-70% CBD
– Produces a higher quality full-spectrum oil, which means more minor cannabinoids such as CBG, CBC, and other minor cannabinoids, also has more terpenes, flavonoids and other beneficial Phyto-chemicals present to create the entourage effect.
– No plant lipids or chlorophyll present
– The natural terpene profile is preserved
Essentially, Sub Zero Extraction provides a higher quality full spectrum CBD when coupled with high quality input hemp material. This effective, high-quality extract can be leveraged for a variety of different products.
Whether it’s tinctures, edibles, or topicals, the effective, full spectrum, and entourage effect quality of this type of extraction make it ideal for a diverse array of CBD products.
Hi, I’m Karen!
I am Co-Owner of Green Balance CBD, and was born and raised in Northwest Indiana…not far from the beautiful Indiana Dunes National Park. I’ve always been impassioned about health and wellness. Another love of mine is music; it has always been my anchor and companion. I am a gym rat and enjoy running and hiking. The majority of my career in Corporate America was as a Business Analyst. Starting my own company was never something I strived for. However, my passion for hemp and its benefits changed that. For me CBD has helped with muscle recovery, mental clarity, sleep, and I also use it as a preventative. CBD is living healthy, strong, and confident.
And I’m Ryan!
I am Co-Owner of Green Balance CBDand have spent most of my career in sales and management. I was attracted to CBD for it’s benefits and ability to work naturally with my body to heal and protect. The legalization of CBD in March of 2018 made it possible for us to start Green Balance CBD and I am grateful to be a part of the hemp industry, and help folks find a healthy alternative to prescription meds. I am also a musician and author with many original songs and a self-published book of poetry/lyrics.
