The Bottom Line
There are many impressive aspects of NuLeaf Naturals. Their focus on offering the best CBD at fair prices is evident when looking at their farming and growing practices as well as their third party testing standards. They use licensed hemp farms in Colorado, growing only industrial hemp which has been bred to yield high levels of CBD. Most importantly, they use third party testing to ensure their CBD oils are free of contaminants and contain the amount of CBD and THC they state on their bottle. Plus, their prices are about average in the field, ranging from $0.09-$0.16 per mg CBD. We commonly see anywhere from $0.07 to $0.20 from other brands which offer CBD oil.
If you are looking for CBD edibles, vape products, capsules, or creams, you will have to look elsewhere. At this point, NuLeaf only offers one product, oral CBD oil for people and pets.
Purchasing from the NuLeaf website is quick and easy.They offer free 2-3 day shipping for all of the USA. NuLeaf’s customer service is accessible through phone or email. They have agents available 7 days per week which allows people to get in touch with them even on weekends.

Methodology
Data Collection and Rating
In our review process, we receive CBD products directly from the brand to personally review ourselves, so we can give you an accurate idea of the packaging, potency, taste, smell, feel, and overall experience of each product. We also discuss the company’s shipping and returns policy.
Another important step we take is reviewing each individual product for details such as the certificate of analysis to assess the CBD level and CBD variance, THC level, and contaminants.
We take all factors into account and give each CBD brand and each CBD product a score for each parameter.
All of the information we collect is generated into a concise, easy to read review and put into our extensive database. Keep in mind, our reviews are never intended to substitute or act as medical advice.
Product DataBase
Our database collects key information for each product, including CBD product prices, potencies, third-party lab test results, flavors, additional ingredients, hemp quality, extract types, product variety, and more.
We then use all of this combined data to give each brand and product a standardized rating out of five points.
Brand Review Process
There are many factors we consider when we review the quality, integrity and products of a CBD brand. We rate each brand on several factors including:
- Transparency & accuracy. It is important that a CBD brand is forthcoming with who makes up their team, their mission, manufacturing process, and lab reports. Also, we look for the accuracy of the CBD and THC levels in the products’ lab reports.
- Hemp quality. Hemp quality can be a deciding factor between a good CBD brand and a great CBD brand. We look for organic and sustainable farming methods with attention to detail in each manufacturing step.
- The variety of products they offer. We like to see several CBD product types and flavors.
- Customer service. It is essential that each CBD company has multiple ways to connect to customer service to ask questions. We look for speedy and complete responses.
- Price and discounts. Competitive pricing is an important aspect of being a top-rated CBD brand. We also look for discount options and ways to save on your order.
Market Reports
Another way Leafreport stands out from other CBD review websites is our evidence-based market reports. For each one, we purchase different types of CBD products and send them for independent lab testing to check whether their levels of CBD and other cannabinoids match the label.
Information Updates
Writers and editors conduct our reviews and our database on an annual basis but continually make updates throughout the year. We maintain frequent contact with brands and highlight any changes in offerings.
The Review Team
Our review team is made up of a wide chain of qualified CBD review writers, some with medical degrees, some with statistics backgrounds, others with ample experience in the CBD arena. Each and every one of our CBD reviews are approved by our medical reviewer before being published on our website to ensure all information is accurate.
Conflicts of Interest
While Leafreport does have partnerships with many of the reviewed brands, we manage potential conflicts of interest by maintaining a wall between our content and business operations. This wall is designed to prevent our writers and the review process from being influenced or impacted by our business partnerships. This way, all reviews can provide an unbiased review that serves the interests of our users.
About the Company
NuLeaf Naturals was founded in 2014. When looking into them online, you will find nothing but rave reviews about their high quality CBD products. Their average star rating on media like Facebook, as well as their product reviews online are between 4.5-5 stars.
It is hard to find any information about the team that founded NuLeaf. On their website, they refer to themselves as “health-conscious plant medicine aficionados.” Although we appreciate their passionate, we would have been more impressed if there was at least one licensed health care specialist or pharmacist on their team.
Although NuLeaf has an excellent reputation and is known for their quality CBD products and stellar growing practices, the area that is lacking is information about the people behind the scenes. When looking at their profiles on Facebook and their website, they mention very little about their company team. If we knew more about the team members, we likely would have given them a top grade in for Transparency, Accuracy & Reputation.
Their website has an extensive FAQ page where you can find information about everything from their shipping and return policy, more about CBD itself and the proposed benefits, as well as the extraction methods they use (CO2 extraction).
It is easy to find information about their shipping (free 2-3 day priority) and return policy (30 day full refund) on both their FAQ page as well as their shipping and return page.
Under the Buy CBD page, each product has a clear price marked, amount of CBD per bottle and serving, directions on how to use the product, bottle size, servings per bottle, and ingredients. Here, you can also find clear information about their third party results. Under the third party test results you will easily find information about the actual amount of CBD per ml, THC content, and information concerning any contaminants like solvents, microbes, organic residues and the general cleanliness of the product.
Leafreport’s market reports score
Pet products report – NuLeaf Naturals received an «А» score in our pet products report where we tested 55 pet products in an independent lab.
Manufacturing Process
When evaluating CBD companies and their products, it is essential to assess quality, purity, and consistency. It is clear that this company prides themselves on their commitment to offering only the finest CBD products, and here is how we know:
NuLeaf’s CBD comes from the industrial hemp plant, which is grown in their organic, licensed farms in Colorado, watered by the Rocky Mountain Springwater. It should be noted that they do not have a USDA certification. NuLeaf reports using only the finest hemp, which has been selected and cross bred to produce a high output CBD plant. These plants also yield CBC, CBG, and CBN. CBC, CBG, and CBN are other cannabinoids that are currently being researched for their potential benefits to human health. You could say by ensuring to include these cannabinoids, NuLeaf is ahead of the game.
Aside from the high quality CBD NuLeaf farms create, the company is also strict regarding farming practices to protect the environment. Only sustainable and organic farming is used.
Unlike CBD isolates, you may find in other products, the full spectrum CBD used to formulate NuLeaf products provide the “entourage effect.” This means the multiple cannabinoids, as well as terpenes, work synergistically and enhance one another. Working together, these plant constituents provide the largest benefit. A full spectrum product requires an extraction method that preserves the plant constituents and cannabinoids so they can remain intact. NuLeaf uses CO2 extraction, which does not require any heat or harsh solvents. This way, the plant parts are not damaged and can be extracted to create high quality, full-spectrum CBD while still including less than 0.3% THC as required by law.
Another important point to consider is the consistency of the product. If you receive a CBD product and love the benefits, you want to ensure that the next product you order has the same level of quality. NuLeaf has answered this concern. Their use of plant engineering allows them to create near identical strands of the hemp plant time and time again, so you are getting the same CBD product every time.
To ensure their CBD products are high-quality and free of THC, chemicals, microbes, or heavy metals, NuLeaf sends all their products for third party testing. They use FDA registered labs, including Steep Hill in Berkeley, California, and ProVerde in Milford, Massachusetts. They take additional steps to ensure the laboratory is compliant by having it inspected by the Colorado State Department of Public Health and Environment.
There are third party lab results available for every batch of product. When you look at the product page, you will have access to the current batch. However, if you want to look at a previous batch, you will need the batch number which is found on the bottle. You can quickly look it up on their website on the “Batch/Lot Lookup” page which you can find at the very bottom on the website in the footer. When we looked at the lab report from the 725ml 50mg/ml CBD product that they are currently selling, they passed with flying colors. The bottle actually contained a bit more CBD than what was listed (52.27mg/ml) and only 0.14% THC. This gives us a variance of 4.54% for CBD which is within the general acceptable limit of 10%. Also, the results for microbes, fungi, pesticides, and other contaminants indicated that all of them were not detectable.
We also looked up the batch number for the actual CBD oil products we received. The Full Spectrum Pet CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract (50mg/ml) contained 55.64mg/ml of CBD and 0.16% THC. This gives us a variance of 11.65% for CBD, which is a tad above the general acceptable limit of 10%.
For the 4850mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract which I received, the lab report showed that there was 54.72mg/ml of CBD and 0.15% THC. The CBD variance of 9.44% is within acceptable limit of 10%. Reports from both lot numbers showed that there were no detectable microbes (E coli, yeasts), pesticides, solvents, or other contaminants in the products. Also, the THC for all the lot numbers we assessed was well below the 0.3% legal limit.
It is vital to have access to these results to ensure that the product you are consuming does not have more THC than what is allowed and is free from any harmful pesticides or chemicals. Allowing customers to see the results adds another bond of trust between the company and their customers and demonstrates their transparency.
NuLeaf focuses on one product; CBD oil. That being said, the range of products that NuLeaf offers is quite narrow. They do not offer any edibles, vape products, coffee, teas, lotions, or anything besides pure CBD oil. In total, they offer five different sizes of their CBD oil, which all contain 50mg of CBD per ml. All of the CBD oil products are intended for oral consumption.
NuLeaf Naturals CBD Oils Overview
In all of their CBD oils, the only ingredient is hemp oil; no fillers, binders or synthetic ingredients. No extras, just pure, high potency, full spectrum CBD. This means that there are no flavor options either. In addition, their CBD oil is 100% organic and non-GMO. However, NuLeaf does not have a USDA organic certification, so it is unclear who, if anyone, has certified them as organic. They use a CO2 extraction method for all their CBD oils.

|---|---|---|---|---|
1800 mg | 60 mg/ml | $119.2 | $0.07 | |

They assured us that the box would not indicate what products were inside and would arrive at the front door and require a signature. As it turns out, everything they said was true. Aside from a phone number, which is available during regular business hours from 9 am to 5 pm as well as on weekends, they also have a contact email as well as a mailing address listed.
We received our products promptly after ordering. They also supplied a tracking number, so we knew exactly when to expect our order. The products arrived in a discrete brown cardboard box. Inside, the products were all individually wrapped with a generous amount of bubble wrap to protect the product from getting damaged or cracked. Since all the bottles are made from glass, this is important!

Products Reviewed
We received 3 products:
1. 5mL 240mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract (50mg/ml) review
2. 100mL 4850mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract (50mg/ml) review
3. 15mL 725mg Full Spectrum Pet CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract (50mg/ml) review
The only difference between these was oiss the container size. For all three, each mL contains 50mg of full spectrum CBD. There is just one ingredient, hemp oil, which is non-GMO, organic, and extracted through the use of CO2. This means no pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or other additives are in NuLeaf’s CBD oils.
When assessing the third party lab results, all three of the oils passed and even surpassed what is listed on the bottle. There were two different lot numbers for the oils we received. According to the third party results, the 4850mg and 240mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract contained 54.72mg/ml of CBD and 0.15% THC for a CBD variance of 9.44%. The Full Spectrum Pet CBD Oil, High Grade Hemp Extract (50mg/ml) contained 55.64mg/ml of CBD for a CBD variance of 11.65% and 0.16% THC. All the other test results, such as microbes, heavy metals, and pesticides, were negative. A clean outcome.
As we mentioned, the only difference is the bottle size, so the CBD oil inside is essentially the same. NuLeaf recommends taking ten drops of the CBD oil under the tongue and holding it for 30 seconds. They do not list any conditions for which their CBD is recommended. It is up to the user to know and understand the benefits of CBD. However, they do have a FAQ page, which does go into detail about how CBD affects the body and the conditions that may be improved which include: anxiety, aches and pains, and other everyday ailments. They are careful not to make any health claims about CBD.
For the Pet CBD, the bottle has a guide on how many drops to give to your pet based on his/her weight. For example for pets under 25kg, 2 drops are suggested while pets above 75kg can get 8+ drops. The bottle also states to give your pet 1-2 servings per day. The NuLeaf website does not make any recommendations concerning the use of Pet CBD. As a consumer, you will have to use available information to determine if CBD may help your pet.
The taste of this CBD oil is aromatic, earthy, and pungent. There is no sweetness or flavor, as with some of the other CBD oils available. You will notice that the oil is extremely clear and consistent. There was no cloudiness, suspended solids, or particulate matter in NuLeaf oils. Visually, the CBD oil appears exceptionally pure. The oil is a deep yellow-green color, similar to a high-quality olive oil. It smells just like it tastes; earthy, pungent, and aromatic.
