On May 20, 2022 BBB informed the business that certain claims on their website might violate the BBB Code of Advertising. Specifically, statements within testimonials that either directly state or imply that the use of the company's products can either treat or lessen the symptoms of certain conditions. Each of the testimonials includes an asterisk denoting the disclaimer at the bottom of the page that states, "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." Code of Advertising Section 22 states, in part, "The asterisk or other reference symbol must not be used as a means of contradicting or substantially changing the meaning of any advertising statement."
Additionally, BBB requested substantiation of a claim on the company's website that , "The recent research from Oregon State University reveals hemp compounds, specifically CBDa and CBGa, prevent the coronavirus from entering human cells." One of the Basic Principles of the Code of Advertising states, in part, "Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.
BBB followed up with multiple requests for substantiation, but as of June 13, 2022 the company had declined to respond.

File a ComplaintBBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
