Overall, fermentation is an ancient process that has traditionally been used to break down food into more absorbable components. During the fermentation process, microorganisms use aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to achieve this.

• Fermentation Òpre-digestsÓ nutrients and beneficial compounds into more accessible and bioavailable forms.
• During fermentation, key vitamins are sometimes increased and even created, as well as other micronutrients. In some instances, fermentation can actually make certain foods more edible and more digestible, such as roots, leaves, nuts, tubers, seeds and grains.
• Fermentation can increase the presence of probiotics in food.

All of our hemp farms are located in the United States, are USDA Certified Organic and certified by state-regulated agricultural hemp programs.

Our CBD hemp products are full-spectrum, meaning they do contain the full array of cannabinoids in hemp, including THC levels at or below the federally-mandated 0.3% level.

• We only use aerial plant parts. This means that we use everything above ground including flowers and buds, but not including the roots.
• No seed or stalk inputs, eliminating the need to spike with CBD isolate in the finished goods
• Aerial plant parts are air-dried anywhere from 10-45 days depending on the relative humidity of the growing location
• Aerial plant parts are tested for CBD and THC levels while growing, immediately after harvest, and prior to shipment to our manufacturing facility

• Aerial plant parts are shipped to our own USDA Certified Organic fermentation and packaging facility located in the United States
• Aerial plant parts are tested for CBD and THC content upon arrival at our facility
• Aerial plant parts are decarboxylated using a proprietary process that maximizes cannabinoid retention and activation, and then tested for CBD and THC content
• Aerial plant parts are fermented to help activate existing cannabinoids, terpenes and other phytonutrients
• Aerial plant parts are low temperature dried (less than 108 degrees) with our proprietary raw food drying system
• Fermented CBD is standardized to optimal levels, powdered, and/or pressed into caplets, then bottled
• Final products are tested for cannabinoids (CBD and THC) prior to distribution

For over four years, Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe haven't been merely interested in CBD and hemp, theyÕve been "putting their shoulders to the plow" to make CBD hemp more accessible to the public and provide education about this ancient plant.

As a Missouri farm-owner himself, Jordan states:
"In my quest to find a multi-dimensional crop that works well in our organic regenerative agricultural system, all roads led to hemp. With its rich history of use and unlimited potential across a vast array of industries, we vigorously pursued the opportunity to make hemp an integral part of our operation.Ó - Jordan Rubin

In addition to being an organic permaculture farmer and the co-founder of Ancient Nutrition, Jordan Rubin has over 20 years of experience formulating cutting-edge dietary supplements and solutions, an experience which he is eagerly bringing to the table in providing you with high-quality CBD formulas.

Now, all of the hard work of finding U.S. farms to sustainably grow organic hemp, finding facilities to process CBD and maintain full-spectrum cannabinoids has finally paid off.

Ancient Nutrition didn't just hop on the hemp bandwagon. The quality of the product we are able to bring you today is all possible because of the long-term vision and dedication of our founders.

We also enlisted the consulting and help of the Knox docs, who are Paid Partners with Ancient Nutrition. The Knox Docs are a family of physicians who have honed their skills in Cannabis Therapeutics and Cannabinoid Medicine through years of study and direct clinical experience. Collectively, they have counseled several thousands of patients in using cannabis therapies.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is extracted from the flowers and buds of the hemp plants. There are a number of ways that CBD can be extracted in order to make CBD products. Whole plant extraction uses the entire plant and is able to extract a broad spectrum of cannabinoids, not just CBD. CBD isolates, on the other hand, contain pure CBD extracted from hemp. For hemp-derived CBD products, ethanol or CO2 extraction methods are commonly used. Ancient Nutrition has used both CO2 extraction and organic ethanol extraction. Currently, we use primarily organic ethanol extraction.

The endocannabinoid system is a biochemical communication system in the human body that is believed to play an important role in many cognitive and physiological processes. It wasn't until scientists started studying cannabis more closely that they discovered this system, and now it's thought to be an important physiological system involved in health.

There are a number of ways to use CBD, including oil drops, capsules and more. One of the most popular ways to use CBD oil is with a dropper, although using caplets or powders are becoming popular as well. With an oil, a person simply uses a dropper by mouth. Everybody is different, so focus on what works best for you.
