Many companies, in all industries, try to convey a positive sales message with their brand name. And it\u2019s sadly not unusual to see that the message is based solely on marketing strategy \u2013 not reality.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing, for instance, to prevent anyone from putting the word \u201cnatural\u201d in the name of a CBD company, even if their products are far from all-natural. It\u2019s quite common, in fact.<\/p>\n

So when you see a CBD producer calling itself Kat\u2019s Naturals, it\u2019s only common sense to look a little deeper. Just how natural are<\/em> the company\u2019s products? Is it an honest description or just marketing fluff?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased to report that the CBD products from Kat\u2019s Naturals are indeed all-natural. In fact, almost all of the ingredients used in the company\u2019s oils, topical and other product lines are organic. That\u2019s a rarity in the CBD industry and a clear signal that the company\u2019s products are worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n

And when you dig a little deeper into the story behind Kat\u2019s Naturals, you understand that \u201cnatural\u201d isn\u2019t just a brand name. It sums up the founder\u2019s approach to life and health.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do that digging.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals: The Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The founder of Kat\u2019s Naturals, Kat Merryfield, is a professional nutritionist and herbalist. She had been producing natural farm-to-home products on a small scale for a decade, when her husband Brian (a 13-year military veteran) began showing the signs of \u2013 and was diagnosed with \u2013 PTSD.<\/p>\n

She redoubled her efforts to create natural, healing products that could benefit her husband, settling on CBD as the best possibility. Kat credits those products with helping Brian get his life back, and it put her on a crusade to help veterans and others benefit from the medicinal power of cannabidiol<\/a> (the full name for CBD).<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals grew quickly and began sourcing hemp and other ingredients from reputable vendors, always intent on producing organic, natural, high-quality products. As the company grew, Kat committed to donating a portion of her annual profits to veterans’ support groups as another way to give back to the community.<\/p>\n

Her background in herbal nutrition has always been accompanied by a deep concern for the environment, demonstrated in several of Kat\u2019s Naturals\u2019 regular policies. Containers are kept to the smallest size possible and are sold in minimalist packaging to reduce the amount of material and packing materials that need to be used and recycled. And all hemp and organic oils are sourced locally, to reduce the impact of long-distance transportation on the environment.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all impressive and praiseworthy, but needless to say, the real test of the name \u201cnaturals\u201d depends on the products and their ingredients. We\u2019re pleased to say that the company passes that test as well.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals: The Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Considering the fact that Kat started her business by growing all of her own ingredients organically in her backyard, it isn\u2019t surprising that Kat\u2019s Naturals has maintained those standards as the business has grown.<\/p>\n

Hemp is sourced from just three organic farms in Tennessee, where the company is based. The hemp is 100% organic and non-GMO, and Tennessee has some of the most stringent farming regulations in America.<\/p>\n

Cannabidiol is extracted from hemp via the supercritical CO2 method, the most expensive way to do it but also the most efficient because it retains almost all of the CBD\u2019s potency throughout the process. The carrier oil used in most of the company\u2019s products (the ones which require a carrier) is hempseed oil. That\u2019s the second-best choice after MCT oil (which is used in one oil variety), but hempseed does contain a bounty of fatty acids and vitamins so it\u2019s a good choice for its health benefits.<\/p>\n

One of the stumbling blocks that many CBD producers trip over is the quality of ingredients they add to their products. Kat\u2019s Naturals doesn\u2019t stumble, using only natural essential oils for flavoring and no other unnecessary artificial additives.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always some disagreement about the cannabidiol used in CBD products. Most people agree that full-spectrum oil, which contains all of the components of the hemp plant \u2013 including the minuscule amount of THC legally allowed in hemp sold in America \u2013 is more effective. That\u2019s because THC and the other components work together in an entourage effect to increase the effectiveness of CBD. However, some fear that even a tiny THC presence<\/a> in their CBD could cause a positive drug test.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals leans toward satisfying those who want their cannabidiol THC-free but does also offer a few full-spectrum products. That means their selection offers the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s almost nothing to argue within the way that Kat\u2019s Naturals formulates and produces their CBD products. It\u2019s almost perfect. And the products\u2019 performance and effectiveness are just as good as you\u2019d expect from such a careful and thoughtful process.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD Oils<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"kats<\/p>\n

There are six different Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD oils, each formulated for a slightly different purpose.<\/p>\n

The strongest \u201cconsumer-strength\u201d CBD oil is produced in two varieties. They are each manufactured from CBD isolate with no THC content, meaning there\u2019s a lesser entourage effect than full-spectrum oil would provide. Each contains 50mg\/ml of cannabidiol. The \u201cNaked\u201d oil is made from just CBD and a hemp seed carrier oil, with no added flavoring; \u201cHeal\u201d oil is the same product with organic peppermint essential oil added to cover the natural hemp flavor.<\/p>\n

Why do we say that \u201cNaked\u201d and \u201cHeal\u201d are the company\u2019s strongest consumer oils? Because they also produce a \u201cprofessional strength\u201d CBD that provides 100mg\/ml of CBD isolate. Kat\u2019s Naturals says that oil has essentially the same potency as prescription cannabidiol, at about one-eighth of the price. This oil uses MCT oil as a carrier and is flavored with organic wild orange essential oil.<\/p>\n

\u201cBalance\u201d is Kat\u2019s Naturals\u2019 only full-spectrum oil. It delivers 25mg\/ml of cannabidiol, contains organic peppermint essential oil for flavoring, and uses MCT oil (the best choice) instead of the hempseed oil used in most of the company\u2019s CBD oils.<\/p>\n

The low-potency option is called \u201cRelax,\u201d and it contains CBD isolate (10mg\/ml strength) along with hemp seed carrier oil and organic wild orange essential oil for flavoring.<\/p>\n

One final choice is called \u201cMetabolize.\u201d It is made with a mix of CBD and CBG; the latter is another cannabinoid from the hemp plant with its own medicinal properties. There is 33.3mg\/ml of each cannabinoid in the formulation, and since CBD isolate is used, additional terpenes (primarily humulene) are added to try and recreate the entourage effect. The formula also contains a mix of organic essential oils, including grapefruit, peppermint, ginger root, and cinnamon, to provide additional health benefits as well as a pleasant flavor.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a smart assortment of CBD oils, and they work well.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD Capsules<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"kats<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are no \u201cstandard\u201d CBD capsules on Kat\u2019s menu, but there are \u201cprofessional strength\u201d ones. Each contains 20mg of cannabidiol (CBD isolate) as well as something called growth cell oligopeptide, which the company says dramatically increases the CBD\u2019s absorption, as well as several amino and organic acids.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD Topicals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"kats<\/p>\n

There are four products to choose from in Kat\u2019s Naturals topical assortment, including two varieties of organic CBD cream. One includes capsaicin, which calms painful areas with heat while the cannabidiol is taking effect and also helps boost circulation. The other variety has added arnica, which homeopaths believe can provide additional and faster pain relief. Each is also supplemented with a variety of natural essential oils and botanicals aimed at increasing the cream\u2019s health and wellness benefits.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s professional strength CBD cream contains 33% more cannabidiol (it\u2019s CBD isolate). It also includes an ingredient used in the medical field which helps with transdermal absorption, along with emu oil, arnica, and a number of organic essential oils and botanicals. This cream comes in an easy-to-use precision applicator.<\/p>\n

Finally, Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD skin serum combines CBD isolate with a number of essential oils, vitamins, and skin nutrients to create a healing and moisturizing addition to a skincare regime.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals Vape Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"kats<\/p>\n

Relatively few CBD producers sell e-liquid that allows you to vape cannabidiol. Kat\u2019s Naturals offers an organic e-liquid that contains only THC-free CBD, added terpenes, and the necessary ingredients (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin) that make it vapeable. The amount of cannabidiol in the liquid is relatively low, but that\u2019s for a reason \u2013 it\u2019s so you can vape as needed or desired without inhaling too much CBD.<\/p>\n

A higher amount is contained in the stand-alone, organic vape pen sold by the company; it\u2019s designed for use before bed and also includes the cannabinoids CBG and CBN.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD Edibles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"kats<\/p>\n

Two types of chocolate are on the menu: 70% dark chocolate and peppermint-flavored white chocolate. Each contains decarbed full-spectrum hemp and all ingredients are organic. Kat\u2019s Naturals also sells activated (decarbed) hemp that\u2019s ready for you to include in your own recipes.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD Skin Care Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These products are all sold under the brand name \u201cFhenix.\u201d They include daytime replenishing cream, nighttime repair cream, anti-fatigue eye cream, and a CBD-infused mask. Each is THC-free and includes the relevant organic oils and botanicals you\u2019d expect to see in moisturizing, replenishing, revitalizing, and anti-aging skincare products.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals CBD Pet Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"kats<\/p>\n

Three organic CBD oils for pets are available from the company, all marketed under the \u201cCannaivore Pet Farmacy\u201d brand. The first two contain an enormous amount of cannabidiol by pet dosing standards when measured by the usual mg\/ml method and given to pets. Each drop contains 2.5mg of CBD, though, so it is possible to control dosages. Just be very careful when using this oil and only use a few drops, particularly with small pets.<\/p>\n

One of those oils is called \u201cRally\u201d and contains CBG and CBN, as well as CBD, isolate. The other is called \u201cComfort\u201d and only contains full-spectrum cannabidiol.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s \u201cMend\u201d oil delivers a more reasonable 5mg\/ml (.25mg of CBD isolate per drop) and also contains CBG.<\/p>\n

Kat\u2019s Naturals: The Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The many options in Kat\u2019s Naturals product lines show what can be accomplished when a producer is fully devoted to delivering the highest-quality CBD possible, in products that are all-natural and organic.<\/p>\n

We would like to have seen more full-spectrum choices rather than a reliance on CBD isolate since we feel the added entourage effect is worth the inclusion of a tiny amount of THC. But that\u2019s just nit-picking.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re extremely impressed with all that Kat Merryfield has done with her company \u2013 maintaining the highest possible standards while increasing Kat\u2019s Naturals\u2019 industry presence and expansion.<\/p>\n

In short, these are some of the best CBD products we\u2019ve ever reviewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
