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 ...

CBD and Pets

Our lives revolve around our little furry friends.  Our pets are part of the family, whether they be cats, dogs or something else.  Sometimes these animals feel stress and anxiety or pain from arthritis or possibly from an injury of some sort.  I actually had a dog (Marla, the Australian Shepherd) that was hit by a car and her hip was shattered.  She limped on 3 legs for quite a while but eventually recovered completely except for the ability to have pups (the vet said her hip was damaged too much to allow a safe birth). Both Marla and my best buddy, Oscar (yes he was a dachshund) have gone on to doggie heaven.  My only wish was that I had known about CBD when these family members were going through their times of crisis.  Oscar suffered from a leaky heart valve (common with dachshunds) and suffered from pain and difficulty breathing.  He was a trooper and never complained.  Based on what I have since learned about CBD, I am sure it would have ...
