By Ashley Jordan Ferira, PhD, RDN Published on June 12, 2020 Share this page on Facebook Share this page on Twitter Share this page on Pinterest Email this page Getty Images As the CBD market continues to expand, the number of CBD brands and products out there can start to feel overwhelming, which makes it tough to determine which ones are trustworthy and transparent. But Green Roads is one brand that has stood out since it was founded in 2013—long before the CBD hype even began. In this review, I'll share what I discovered after trying a number of Green Roads' CBD products for myself, including some brand highlights and my top product picks. The Green Roads story Based out of Florida, Green Roads has 7 years in the CBD industry under its belt, which is much more than a lot of other CBD companies on the market. Laura Fuentes, the CEO and co-founder, is a medical professional, which is a major differentiator in the hemp industry. A licensed compounding pharmacist, Fuentes aims to formulate CBD products for therapeutic purposes. "For us, this is more than a business, it's a mission," she said. "And our customers know it. They know that we care about them. They know that we will never sacrifice quality or cut corners. They trust us with the most important thing they have, their well-being, and we take that trust seriously." The Best CBD Oil Brands to Buy in 2020 The variety is a huge selling point Green Roads' huge portfolio of products is a huge draw for me. It has options for beginners and experts alike, with products galore, including CBD oils, gummies, topicals, and capsules across multiple CBD strengths, as well as pet products for your furry friends. One of my personal favorites is the brand's CBD dark chocolate, which I thought was delicious. These broad-spectrum products contain hemp-derived CBD with zero THC, and a few of them offer flavor options, like mint breeze or apple kiwi. But for those seeking full-spectrum CBD products, Green Roads recently launched 3 new full-spectrum CBD oils in mild, moderate, and mighty strengths—so there's truly something for everyone. The quality is top-notch No one wants to unknowingly take a larger dose of CBD than they meant to, and Green Roads makes sure this doesn't happen with clear labeling and application guidance for all of its CBD products. Additionally, new syringe-like bottles feature a bottle-stopper-plunger to make exact dosing a breeze. What's more, Green Roads claims to hold itself to a higher quality-control standard and offers greater transparency than many other CBD brands. And after digging further into its supply chain and quality control processes, I'm convinced this is true. Here's why. Green Roads sources hemp plants grown within the United States (primarily from Colorado, Kentucky, and Oregon and supports domestic farming efforts by partnering with American farms that maintain high standards and implement the best practices in hemp cultivation. Then, Green Roads tests every batch to ensure purity, potency, and safety. Lab reports are also super easy to access by simply scanning the QR code on the packaging to view the results specific to your product. Finally, you can expect excellent customer service from the Green Roads team, which I can attest to from my personal experience communicating with the company.
