CBD Extraction Methods

There are three basic extraction methods to create CBD oil and associated products.
  • CO2 extraction. The supercritical (or subcritical) CO2 method uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and extremely low temperatures to isolate, preserve, and maintain the purity of the medicinal oil. This process requires expensive equipment and a steep operational learning curve. But, when done well, the end product is safe, potent, and free of chlorophyll (chlorophyll imparts an undesirable taste).
  • Ethanol. High-grade grain alcohol can be used to create high-quality cannabis oil appropriate for vape pen cartridges and other products. But this extraction method destroys the plant waxes and some other phytochemicals, which may have health benefits that are favored by some product-makers.
  • Olive oil. Olive oil can also be used to extract cannabis oil. Dr. Arno Hazekamp, director of phytochemical research at Bedrocan BV, which supplies medical cannabis for the Dutch Health Ministry, reports this method is both safe and inexpensive, “You won’t blow yourself up making cannabis-infused olive oil.” However, cannabis-infused olive oil–whether CBD-rich or THC-dominant–is perishable and should be stored in a cool, dark place. Plus it is not as efficient at extracting CBD and the other cannabinoids.

The best method in the opinion of many is the supercritical CO2 method. It is safest, produces no volatile substances, and produces high quality pure CBD oil.

What Our Customers Are Saying About YallaCBD

I had 5 major back surgeries over 20 years and was on heavy opioids which only barely made the pain tolerable. I recently discovered CBD and found it to be an amazing replacement for pain management. I was able to completely eliminate the use of opioids. I am particularly impressed with how effective the topicals are for me; even more effective than the drops. - Mike P., Sr. Pastor I injured my shoulder the other evening and was having throbbing pain and inflammation. I rubbed some of the 4000 mg. gel on it and within a few minutes the pain was gone and the swelling went down. - M. M., IT Professional I twisted my ankle, aggravating an old injury. It hurt! I rubbed on some of the 1000 mg. gel and within about 10 minutes the pain was gone and stayed gone! I now use CBD to improve recovery time in the gym and heal any injuries fast. Also, I tend to get eczema on my fingers and needed a steroid to make it go away. Now, just a little bit of CBD (drops, gel or balm) and the eczema ...

Week #2 at Eugene Saturday Market

Greetings!  I thought I would share an experience I had recently in Oregon at Eugene's Saturday Market.  I like to attend these events because it gives me the opportunity to meet people, talk to them about CBD , share knowledge, information and samples as well as find out the challenges they face in terms of physical dysfunction. I met a young woman who was sharing with me that she had been experiencing extreme pain in her neck due to muscle knots and spasms.  I suggested she try some of our 2500 mg. Recovery Gel .  I explained how it would relax her muscles and provide relief for the pain. She agreed to try some so I squirted some on her hand and she rubbed into her neck.  At that point she wanted to catch up with her friends who had wondered over to some other booths.  I asked her to come back in 10 minutes or so to let me know how she was doing and if her neck felt any better. About 10 minutes later, she returned with her friends in tow, and was mo...
