With so many secondary cannabinoids entering the hemp market, it’s understandable why most customers first assume “CRD” is a minor compound akin to “CBG” or “CBC.” Although “CRD” looks like it should be a new cannabinoid, it actually refers to a unique distillation process in the hemp industry with everyone’s favorite non-intoxicating cannabinoid: cannabidiol (CBD). Short for “crystal resistant distillate,” CRD is a groundbreaking product with many desirable traits for both CBD consumers and manufacturers. Let’s take a closer look at what crystal resistance distillate is and how it compares with other versions of CBD extract.
This form of CBD distillate never “clumps up.” To be more scientific, this CBD extract undergoes an advanced refining process, making it impossible for CBD molecules to form crystals (hence the name “crystal resistant”).
When CBD is left to its own devices, it naturally wants to form crystalline structures because that’s part of its chemical code. CBD crystallization occurs when the concentration of CBD is exceptionally high relative to other compounds, such as in distillate oils, tinctures, and extracts. Not only do these CBD crystals make products less aesthetically pleasing, they have a negative impact on properly dosing CBD. Since CBD isn’t evenly distributed once crystals emerge, consumers are less likely to get the quoted intake of CBD each time they measure their suggested milligrams.
The inconsistency of non-CRD CBD extracts also makes them difficult to incorporate in many manufactured goods. For instance, if a manufacturer adds traditional CBD distillate to an edible, the CBD molecules are at risk of forming crystals and messing up their product’s potency. The same could be said for CBD vape carts and topicals, where each product’s consistency is of paramount importance.
While dosing consistency and a smooth texture are the top two benefits of Crystal Resistant CBD, there are many other reasons customers are getting interested in this product. Most notably, CRD CBD tends to have a greater concentration of secondary cannabinoids versus other CBD distillates. Although all “distillates” have secondary hemp cannabinoids by definition, the standard distillation process makes it difficult to include many of the rarer cannabinoids in these oils. Not only do secondary cannabinoids like CBG and CBC have different ideal extraction heat ranges, they don’t form crystals like CBD. Since Crystal Resistant CBD is always in a liquid state, it’s easier for extractors to include these cannabinoids at higher concentrations than non-CRD distillation.
Crystal Resistant CBD also tends to be more flavorful than traditional CBD distillates due to higher concentrations of aromatic compounds called terpenes. Again, since CRD CBD is liquid and reduces CBD’s tendency to crystallize, extractors have an easier time adjusting the extraction temperature including a diverse array of terpenes in their final products. Customers interested in the potential health benefits of terpenes or their enhanced flavor profile often enjoy the higher terpene concentration in Crystal Resistant CBD.
Another benefit of the CRD production is manufacturers don’t need to add extra ingredients, additives, or fillers to counter CBD’s tendency to crystallize. People who are allergic to or don’t like consuming substances like MCT oil, propylene glycol, or vegetable glycerine don’t need to worry about these chemicals in their clean CRD CBD.
Proponents of the “entourage effect” theory also tend to prefer Crystal Reistant Distilalte over CBD distillate due to the former’s higher concentration of multiple hemp molecules. People who subscribe to the “entourage effect” believe hemp has its highest healing potential when paired with other naturally-occurring chemicals. Therefore, CRD CBD with greater concentrations of secondary cannabinoids and terpenes may have tremendous therapeutic potential even at lower doses.
Just because crystal-resistant distillate CBD has high levels of secondary cannabinoids doesn’t mean it contains the psychoactive “delta-9 THC” compound. Per federal law, hemp manufacturers carefully filter out any THC in their CBD distillates, CRD included. Although ≤ 0.3% by dry weight is the legal limit for hemp THC concentrations, broad-spectrum distillates should contain zero THC. “Full-spectrum” CBD products, however, typically have ≤ 0.3% in their lab reports. Some customers prefer tiny amounts of THC to maximize the “entourage effect,” but most Crystal Resistant CBD extracts don’t have any THC. Just double-check a hemp company’s third-party lab reports to ensure the quality and THC concentration in their CRD CBD.
It’s not hard to see why so many hemp users and companies are going crazy for crystal resistant distillate CBD. This highly refined and versatile extract is an excellent choice for manufacturers looking for the max consistency in their CBD creations without resorting to harsh additives or chemical compounds. As a bonus, CRD CBD has naturally high concentrations of secondary cannabinoids and terpenes, making it a highly desirable item for “entourage effect” fans. As the CBD market continues to evolve, CRD stands out as one of the most groundbreaking and innovative products, and it’s likely to shake up the CBD industry for many years.
