The Standard

Our CBD is sourced from agricultural hemp. We proudly make all our products in the USA. The demand for CBD-containing products is intense, global, and rapidly increasing. In fact, demand greatly exceeds current reserves, and what is available is generally of questionable or substandard quality. nextCBD will supply the growing worldwide demand for CBD with standardized products meeting Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environment, Health and Safety (EHS), and Kosher standards. To accomplish this, the Company adheres to strict operational protocols at each stage of product manufacture. This commitment positions nextCBD as the world leader in CBD standardization and quality. While no statement made about any nextCBD product has yet been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, our quality standards nevertheless
remain the highest achievable.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6664″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”about-custom-img”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” el_class=”abt-custom-img-bg bg-image” css=”.vc_custom_1506437958515{background-image: url(https://www.nextcbd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/hex-banner.jpg?id=6571) !important;}”][vc_column el_class=”aboutpage-different”][vc_custom_heading text=”What makes nextCBD different” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:50|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:normal” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-custom-small” css=”.vc_custom_1507298284460{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1506524088872{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_id=”hostings”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Our World-Renowned Scientists” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%2343992c|line_height:normal” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”about-custom-renowned”]have worked for years to make credible, science-based CBD products a reality. These efforts have led to the discovery and refinement of breakthrough methods for producing CBD with maximum Total Bioavailability.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”about-renowned-column” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Typically, as much as 95 percent of ordinary CBD is destroyed on its way to the bloodstream. Then, only a fraction of what gets there yields any effects. Without efficient Total Bioavailability™, ordinary CBD products are of limited use.

By applying sound scientific methods, our researchers in Israel at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have made Total Bioavailability uniquely efficient.

nextCBD’s vastly superior Total Bioavailability multiplies the strength of our products far beyond the reach of competitors

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”about-renowned-column” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]This is a truly groundbreaking achievement in using CBD to improve health and longevity. Studies show that CBD coupled with our exclusive nextCBD Technology™ does not degrade in the stomach, as can ordinary or untreated CBD. Also, our patent-protected technology greatly enhances the transport of CBD to the bloodstream and then to sites in the body where it can achieve the desired response, hence, nextCBD Inside™.

nextCBD’s vastly superior Total Bioavailability multiplies the strength of our products far beyond the reach of competitors. The profound advances made by doing credible science have positioned us to be the global leader in setting industry standards for quality, performance and Total Bioavailability. The implications of our advances for transforming CBD use are beyond calculation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_class=”about-custom-spacer”][vc_custom_heading text=”Our Team” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%2343992c|line_height:normal” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator el_class=”about-custom-spacer”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][team_member type=”1″ name=”Mark J.
