1. Third-Party Lab Testing (COA)
This is the single most important thing to look for when buying CBD gummies. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document from an independent, accredited laboratory that confirms:
- The actual CBD content (potency)
- THC levels (must be under 0.3% for legal hemp products)
- Absence of pesticides, heavy metals, and contaminants
- Terpene and cannabinoid profiles (for full-spectrum products)
Gold Naturals publishes all COAs publicly on our website. If a brand cannot show you a current COA from an accredited lab, walk away.
2. Hemp Source and Extraction Method
The quality of CBD starts with the hemp plant. Look for brands that use USA-grown hemp, CO2 extraction, and non-GMO hemp. US hemp is subject to stricter agricultural regulations than imported hemp, and CO2 extraction preserves beneficial compounds without harmful solvents.
3. Full-Spectrum vs. Broad-Spectrum vs. CBD Isolate
- Full-Spectrum – Contains all hemp compounds including trace THC, CBD, other cannabinoids, and terpenes. Produces the Entourage Effect for enhanced benefits.
- Broad-Spectrum – Like full-spectrum but with THC removed.
- CBD Isolate – Pure CBD only. May be less effective than full or broad spectrum.
Gold Naturals uses a proprietary Entourage Effect formula to maximize the synergistic benefits of hemp compounds.
4. Ingredient Quality
Check the label carefully. High-quality CBD gummies should have natural flavors and colors, minimal added sugars, no high-fructose corn syrup, and simple recognizable ingredients. Avoid products with long unpronounceable ingredient lists or heavy use of synthetic additives.
5. Clear Dosage Information
Every CBD gummy product should clearly state milligrams of CBD per gummy, serving size recommendation, and total CBD content per package. Beginners typically start with 10-25 mg per serving. Gold Naturals products clearly display dosage information so you always know exactly what you are taking.
6. Brand Reputation and Reviews
Look for verified customer reviews on Google and Yelp, awards or recognition from industry organizations, and responsive customer service. Gold Naturals is a Utah-based company with a strong local reputation. We are easy to reach by phone at (800) 566-3162.
