Quadratum is a producer of hemp based CBD products. Quadratum was founded in 2015 after the legalisation passed allowing of the growing of hemp in the United States. The company’s mission is to help improve people’s quality of live through the provision of safe and affordable hemp based CBD oils. They say that they strive to produce products that “add energy, balance, and value” to consumers’ day-to-day life. At the same time, they seek to educate the public about the benefits of hemp and CBD.
Quadratum products are made using condensed CO2 in order to extract the CBD from hemp. Supercritical CO2 extraction is proven to be a safe and efficient method of extracting CBD. Compared to more traditional solvents, such as butane and alcohol, CO2 is non-toxic and it evaporates, leaving no residue or plant contaminants. Furthermore, CO2 is cold and this reduces the risk of thermal degradation of the CBD. Many common solvents, like butane, use high temperatures, and this can destroy plant nutrients.
In addition to a careful extraction process, Quadratum uses hemp that has been grown bio-dynamically to make its products. This means that it has been grown without using chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic fungicides. The products are all “whole plant” CBD, which they believe is more effective at reducing inflammation and is better for clinical purposes as it is dose dependent (i.e. the more you take, the more the effects are felt).
Quadratum has state of the art extraction technology that varies both pressure and temperature in order to extract just the purest forms of CBD oil. The extraction technique is Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food products.
The company has a range of products beyond the oil, including skin balms, capsules and sprays. In addition to selling all of these, the company also has a great deal of educational resources available free on its website. These deal with the effects of CBD, what hemp is, how the oil is made, the difference between hemp and marijuana, the legal status of hemp, and much more.
