It’s Earth day! The day that we take to celebrate the planet, the globe, the third rock from the sun, the place where every one of us lives! As we discover more and more about how much impact we truly have on this place we call home, it becomes more and more obvious that all our decisions surrounding manufacturing needs to be considered in order to sustain a healthy future. 1PURE CBD is taking part in creating that future for people and the planet!
1Pure CBD only uses organically grown hemp in its products, which means no pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals introduced into the environment. But let’s back up a little bit, actually let’s back up a few thousand years! Originating in Central Asia, hemp was cultivated for fiber as early as 2800 BCE. As hemp gained popularity across Asia for its unique properties when creating pottery, food, and medical treatments, the plant began to spread across the Mediterranean, South America, and eventually North America during the 1600s.
During this time, hemp being grown in the United States was exported to England, where it was used for a variety of products including clothing, shoes, maps, and books. After the United States gained its independence from England's rule, hemp still had a major stronghold within the country. Hemp was being used to create products that were useful to the American military and was a valuable resource in the beginning of large-scale manufacturing within paper mills.
The popularity of hemp continued to grow into the 19th and early 20th centuries, with innovations being created to help revolutionize and increase efficiency in the harvesting and manufacturing processes. However, the U.S. government began to criminalize all cannabis, due to hemp's biological similarities to marijuana and insufficient information about the properties of hemp to the general public. With laws being passed to hinder domestic farmers, the spread of false information to the general public, and the rise of synthetic fibers for production, the demand for hemp dwindled. As several decades passed, hemp saw a resurrection during WWII, but it quickly ended, and farmers again faced difficulties.
Today, hemp is legal to grow and use in the United States under federal law. The 2018 Farm Bill made it possible for farmers to cultivate, process, and sell hemp commercially. With increasing demand from consumers for more sustainable options during manufacturing, hemp is again being used to create a wide variety of products that have a lower carbon footprint then their synthetic material counterparts.
Making the switch from petroleum-based products (polymers) to a naturally, derived plant could make all the difference when it comes to the future of Earth. Polymers can take between 500 to 1,000 years to decompose and the Plastic Pollution Coalition estimated that, "Americans alone discard more than 30 million tons of plastic a year; only 8 percent of it gets recycled. The rest ends up in landfills or becomes 'litter', and a small portion is incinerated.” With the amount of waste being produced every year and damage being caused by non-biodegradable polymers, hemp and its sustainable counterparts are being actively used in the creation of new products.
With these statistics in mind, consumers are urging companies to make the switch to more green initiatives that can benefit and greatly reduce their impact on the Earth. 1PURE CBD plans to help reduce that yearly number of polymer-plastics by using parts of the hemp plant in new and innovative ways. Once the medicinal oils have been extracted from the plant to create our 99.8%* pure CBD products, the fibers from the stocks can be used for textiles; and the cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and starches can be used to produce bioplastics. The use of these bioplastics instead of polymer plastics can greatly reduce the pollution that the Earth encounters over time. Bioplastics are also able to biodegrade back into its natural elements.

]]>With so many different CBD products on the market, how does a customer know what to look for? Let’s take a look at some of the main reasons why 1PURE is your best choice for high-quality CBD products.
1PURE was the first company in Brazil to provide a precise pharma grade CBD solution for patients demanding a consistent, stable and safe, but natural premium quality cannabidiol-based product in both THC-free and full spectrum formulations with .02 or .03 percent THC. We have years of success, and the testimonials to back it up. From gummies and mints to roll-ons and cream, we have the product that fits your needs. Whether your preference is isolate, broad spectrum or full spectrum, 1PURE CBD offers a quality product.
We didn’t just jump on the CBD bandwagon. We’ve been providing prescription CBD in Brazil for more than five years with great success. Doctor’s prescribe our CBD for a reason. Because they can trust the quality of the product and they can trust the consistency of the product. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
We aren’t just here to sell you a product. We’re here to educate you on the benefits the products may provide. CBD has been proven to alleviate symptoms of many types of ailments, and we believe it can help you, as well. We back our education with research. We are very proud of our team and will continue to invest in future CBD research studies.
All 1PURE products are made from all-natural, non-GMO, non-psychoactive, and non-toxic ingredients. Our products are free of pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals.
The raw materials we use have a high purity index – 99.82%, with a variation of plus or minus 0.010% – and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) for effective absorption of CBD into the bloodstream. Our products are fully compliant with the 2018 U.S. Farm bill.
As a bio-based phytopharmaceutical company, 1PURE uses state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and packaging services to develop products with three defining criteria in mind: consistency, bioavailability, and taste.
Our proprietary formulation guarantees the same level of CBD content each and every time. Healthcare providers in particular understand the importance of providing patients with a stable, consistent CBD product –which is why the majority of healthcare professionals prefer 1PURE products.
Some of our competitors rely primarily on hemp oils that have inconsistent taste and efficacy, and the amount of CBD changes on virtually every batch of their products. This wide variation in CBD content is dependent upon growing conditions, genetics, plant strains, final processing of the oil, and many other factors. That’s why some CBD suppliers don’t list the actual milligrams of CBD, and instead list milligrams of hemp oil. Their customers have no way to determine how much CBD is in those products.
The CBD isolate found in 1PURE products is derived from 100% organically grown cannabis sourced exclusively from licensed growers following natural farming practices. Our products are guaranteed pure and made from only natural, non-GMO ingredients.
We adhere to good manufacturing practices when developing our products. The Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation – or cGMP – is enforced and inspected by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and is used by manufacturing facilities to ensure proper quality, purity, design, monitoring, and control of the overall facility. This includes requirements for training, cleaning and sanitation processes, testing and verification, and for having a process in place for product recalls.
As a cGMP certified manufacturer, 1PURE is able to establish strong quality control throughout our facility to detect and investigate any product quality deviations. The facility is an ISO 9001 certified CBD manufacturing facility.
For you the customer, this means that all 1PURE products are manufactured under the proper conditions to ensure that you are getting the finest product that was designed, packaged, and sold under stringent quality measures.
You don’t have to just take our word for it. We use independent, third-party laboratories to rigorously analyze and confirm that our products are free of bacteria, contaminants, fungi, heavy metals, herbicides, mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides, and to ensure we are producing safe, consistent products. A certificate of analysis (COA) is available for all our products. We are proud to say most of our products are 99.8% pure.
We have one of the top Doctors of Autism research on our Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Alysson R. Muotri. The distinguished Dr. Muotri earned a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the State University of Campinas in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Genetics in 2001 from the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil. He moved to the Salk Institute as Pew Latin America Fellow in 2002 for a postdoctoral training in the fields of neuroscience and stem cell biology.
He has been a professor at the School of Medicine, University of California in San Diego since 2008. His research focuses on modeling neurological diseases, such as autism spectrum disorders, using human induced pluripotent stem cells. His lab has developed several techniques to culture human neurons and glia for basic research and drug-screening platforms.
Because we want to make a difference, 1PURE CBD donates 1% of our net profits to nonprofits the Epilepsy Foundation, the Parkinson’s Foundation, Easterseals, the American Cancer Society and the Humane Society of the United States. All of these organizations make a difference in the same way we believe 1PURE CBD products can also make the most difference. We care about the quality of our products and we care about the people who use our products. We founded 1PURE CBD because as we started our CBD wellness journey, we found there was a lack of regulated, quality CBD products available. We took it upon ourselves to create products we felt would set the standard for the industry.
At 1PURE, we believe our customers deserve the highest-grade organic CBD products, with the most consistent quality, on the market.

]]>For 1PURE CEO and Co-founder Allen Voigt, It’s personal. Years ago, Allen began experiencing severe back pain. After consulting with medical professionals, it was discovered that Allen had a cyst on his L3 vertebra, which was pinching his sciatic nerve.
Allen was prescribed pain pills and was scheduled for surgical treatment. Because chronic pain is one of the most common reasons why people take CBD oil, Allen decided to try CBD, topically and sublingually, before the surgery. CBD attacks pain by adjusting the brain’s pain response, releasing neurotransmitters that act as an antidepressant. At the same time, it binds to CB2 receptors located throughout the immune system to reduce inflammation. It has been shown to work as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic. CBD may also help with the anxiety that many people experience when living with chronic pain.
Within three days of using CBD, Allen felt relief he hadn’t known for some time – so much so, that surgery was no longer needed. Intrigued by his improved condition, Allen began to conduct in-depth CBD research, and quickly realized that there was a significant lack of regulated CBD products in the marketplace.
That realization became the catalyst for Allen’s decision to ensure the availability of a high-quality CBD option. He soon discovered that there were many individuals who could benefit from this high-quality alternative after other inferior options failed to deliver the needed relief.
An accomplished senior executive with more than 30 years of success in the entertainment, pharmaceuticals, financial services, information services, and technology industries, Allen is no stranger to business planning and go-to-market strategies. He made the personal decision and commitment to begin developing cannabinoid-based products and additives providing health benefits and make these products available to individuals worldwide.
In large part, 1PURE CBD was born out of Allen’s compassion to help those in need live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. Today, 1PURE CBD researches, develops, and distributes the purest and most cost-effective natural cannabinoid products. Stringent quality standards help those who need a better alternative and natural solution to live happier and healthier lives.
As he developed 1PURE CBD in Brazil, Allen personally took calls from concerned parents and he listened. And he encouraged. And he cared. He and his team worked directly with patients, families, and doctors to ensure patients got the care they needed.
One such case was Isabela. At the age of 12 years old, Isabela while celebrating New Year's Eve with friends and family, started to have a strange feeling that resulted in a seizure. She was later diagnosed with Epilepsy. Over time, she began having seizures weekly. Isabela had tried different medications by the age of 15. Having been seizure-free for a year, the epilepsy came back even stronger with seizures happening about twice a day. After the medications no longer had an effect, a neurologist suggested treatment with cannabidiol. It was through 1PURE CBD that Isabela began to see improvements that she hadn't experienced in some time. After about three months of taking 1PURE CBD, Isabela was able to smile again and slowly felt more confident about living her life again.
Another extreme case is Livia. Livia has Dravet Syndrome, a rare type of difficult-to-control epilepsy. Dravet Syndrome has, in addition to convulsions, delays or difficulties in speech and the motor system. Despite Livia's age, we perceived a slight imbalance in gait and a slight delay in speech when compared to other children her age. She has proven to be resistant to both traditional and modern medications and treatments. Her parents and doctors decided to try 1PURE CBD and within the first month, they saw great improvement in controlling seizures and noticed an improvement in her speech development. "We have been without myoclonic seizures for months. We have also experienced the usual triggers such as, fever, colds, flu, and sinusitis, without crisis. 1PURE CBD has been making the virtually impossible possible and has greatly improved the quality of Livia's, and our family's lives" said Livia's mother.
Countless people with headaches, chronic pain, seizures, anxiety, and other life-altering symptoms are all being treated around the world by doctors, caregivers, and family. Routine prescription medications sometimes do little to alleviate many of these symptoms as many have seen first-hand. 1PURE CBD believes people should consider the opportunity to give pure, premium quality 1PURE CBD a chance at addressing ailments. So, Allen and his team have worked tirelessly to expand their product line and extend access to 1PURE CBD products to even more people. Hence the launch to the United States.
Countless others have benefitted because of Allen’s journey. Our People of 1PURE CBD is a testament to the quality of our products and for CBD to make a difference. In adults suffering from chronic pain to children with hard-to-treat forms of epilepsy and autism, 1PURE CBD has changed lives. We are incredibly proud of that and we’d love to hear your story so we can celebrate with you. And we want to use the power of your story to bring quality, consistency, and safe CBD from a credible, regulatory compliant manufacturer to everyone.
While 1PURE CBD can make no medical claims, the organization has worked with individuals who have provided positive, credible testaments to 1PURE CBD's ability to relieve symptoms associated with many ailments and disorders, while also providing numerous health benefits. As always, you are encouraged to consult a physician or healthcare provider before modifying your diet, using any new product, drug, or supplement, or doing new exercises. You are also encouraged to educate yourself on relevant scientific and nutritional facts. In essence, it’s time to rethink the way you heal, stay healthy and live.

]]>The dosage will depend on the desired effect. Smaller doses can stimulate the body, while larger doses may help sedate the body. The proper dosage also depends on your body weight, the condition you are treating as well as your diet and metabolism. It seems complicated but using our dosage guide makes it easier!
The most effective way to consume CBD is under the tongue as it is absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly. Place the tincture under your tongue and hold it there if you can- ideally up to a minute.
Once you’ve figured your starting place, experiment with the dosage to find your sweet spot!
[Milligrams of CBD in Tincture] ÷ [Milliliters of Oil in Bottle] = [Dosage in a Dropper]
]]>1PURE CBD products are available online — and in a growing number of physical locations — but you won’t find our products at the checkout counter of your local gas station, hardware store, or other high-traffic areas. When it comes to CBD, quality trumps quantity. With more and more companies trying their hand at selling CBD, it can become overwhelming to determine which product is not only right for you, but also safe.
There are plenty of inferior products being marketed by nutrition and supplement companies eager to cash in on the popularity of CBD. But let’s be honest, all CBD is not created equally. Raw materials matter. Quality matters. Consistency matters. Third-party lab testing and verification matters. Relying on places like gas stations and grocery stores to provide you with high-quality CBD could end up costing you money.
The CBD Awareness Project conducted a study and found that only 40% of gas stations provided the CBD they advertised. This study was conducted across CBD infused beverages, topicals/skin products, and edibles. Most of the products that missed the mark are part of a growing market of unregulated products that are greenwashing their labels to spark consumer interest.
The 2018 Farm Bill sets forth certain rules and requirements for the sale of CBD in the United States. While these rules are meant to provide consumers with additional protection in the consumption of CBD-infused products, there is still very little oversight for assurance that products on the market are safe.
A risk that consumers face is ingesting a product that contains higher amounts of THC than what is labeled. The 2018 Farm Bill states that CBD products should contain less than 0.3% of THC, but poorly made products or products made with cannabis instead of hemp could have higher levels, and the risk the product will could make you high and cause unwanted side-effects.
CBD potency is not promised. With CBD-infused products being available from beverages to oils, there is a discrepancy between what you’re promised and what you’re getting. The CBD Awareness Project found that CBD from grocery stores, CBD stores, and gas stations had anywhere from 0% to 136% of the CBD advertised on their labels.
If you purchase CBD from any of the locations above, you may not be getting the highest-quality CBD. That means that you may be getting more or less CBD than you were aware of. This type of false advertising can be hazardous to your health and may cause adverse effects to your body.
If you’re in need of CBD, a quick stop at your local gas station may seem like the perfect option. But it’s not. Besides having products that are unregulated and may contain an unknown amount of CBD, there are several other risks to consider before purchasing.
To legally sell CBD, products cannot contain more than 0.3% THC. However, there is no way to tell if these products fall within the legal dosage limits without a Certificate of Analysis. A Certificate of Analysis is a document that verifies that specific products have undergone rigorous testing with specified results. These tests not only show the concentrations of cannabinoids, but they also show if the product contains any added adulterants, such as pesticides and mold.
High levels of THC can cause unwanted psychoactive effects including:
Unknowingly ingesting a product with high THC levels can also cause you to fail a drug test. Don’t risk your health or job by taking CBD that is not tested and completely certified.
Unknown sourcing could mean unknown manufacturing practices. When it comes to the company you purchase your CBD from, transparency is key. A company should list how and where their hemp was grown. Companies should also list any certifications they follow to produce their products, like a certification of good manufacturing practices (cGMP Grade).
When you visit a reputable online store, you get a feel for the company and determine whether it is trustworthy or not. The same goes for their products. When you look for a product to try, your eyes immediately go to the packaging. Flashy packaging with marketing trigger words can help to sway your buying decision, but take a step back before purchasing.
Avoid any products that make extraordinary health claims, such as marketing CBD as a dietary supplement, which is currently illegal. Also, avoid any products that do have third-party test results or dosage requirements. Products that don’t have third-party testing or dosage requirements could result in the consumption of unknown variants at unsafe amounts. If a product’s packaging looks to be suspicious, it’s better to just pass on it.
Is that CBD product in your local gas station safe? Is it free of contaminants, fungus, mold, pesticides, or other toxic materials? Does it meet rigorous standards from the farm to the lab and beyond? Does it even contain CBD? Who can say?
At 1PURE, we use only fully vetted, organic raw materials under good manufacturing practice compliance (cGMP). Our products are derived from 100% organically grown cannabis sourced exclusively from licensed growers following natural farming practices. A certificate of analysis (COA) is available for all of our products. This COA will confirm that our products are free of pesticides, heavy metals, herbicides, bacteria, molds, fungus and myotoxins. In fact, you’ll see that most of our products are 99.8%* pure. We know from seed to soil what is in our products.
If you think you’re getting the safest, purest, highest-grade organic CBD product at your local gas station the next time you top off your tank, you might want to think again. Buying CBD products from a trusted, reputable brand like 1PURE is your best way to ensure you’re getting the best product in terms of quality, safety, and consistency. Our consistent CBD concentrations are guaranteed. The biggest difference in premium-grade CBD from an unknown name found at your local gas station is the amount of CBD found in the product.
We know exactly where our hemp comes from and how it is grown. Every step of our fully vetted process is licensed for medical production, including our certified cGMP facility. Our mission is to set a higher standard for the industry and for consumers. Shop our entire line of safe, high-quality CBD online, without the need to ever buy from a gas station again.
The CBD Awareness Project conducted a study of product reliability. The team tested 15 different CBD products, five of which came from gas stations. On average, the products purchased at a gas station contained only 40% of what they claimed. Three of the CBD drinks tested contained no CBD. The other products contained 83% of what they claimed.
You should probably stay away from the gas station sushi, too.
