The Bottom Line
My review of Proleve is excellent. They publish the exact potency and purity for each product directly on each corresponding product page on the main website. When a customer purchases CBD from Proleve, they will know the quality of each product from the beginning. Proleve also carries a wider range of CBD potencies and extracts than comparable brands, ranging from 25 mg up to 5000 mg in full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate options.
They offer premium quality organic hemp derived CBD products that are available in tinctures, gel capsules, topicals, gummies, isolate powder, bath bombs, as well as pet and vape products. Their products range in price from $10 to $260, with their highest price point being $.36 per mg of CBD for the single bath bombs. However, excluding the bath bomb prices, their average price point is $.06, meaning that Proleve’s product prices are lower than average when compared to other organic brands in the market selling GMP compliant, non-GMO, premium hemp derived CBD products.
In addition to affordability, the consumer also benefits in terms of accessibility, with the variety of Proleve extract options, higher organic hemp quality, and outstanding customer service. They offer free shipping with a $50 minimum purchase, or a shipping charge is calculated at checkout. A 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee accompanies all products.
The accuracy variances for these Proleve products vary widely concerning potency, with two products testing below the 10% variance limit, and two products testing higher than the level allowed. There is room for improvement in formulation accuracy. Their products did pass all standard purity tests for residuals, solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants. No synthetic ingredients are used in these organic Proleve CBD products.

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
Proleve hails from Tampa, Florida and is on a mission to offer non-GMO, organic Colorado hemp that undergoes a clean CO2 extraction process. All Proleve CBD products are made in the USA, from start to finish, and the brand prides themselves on excellent customer service, at which they succeed.
As part of their growth vision for the future, the company is committed to “delivering premium organic CBD products” and adheres to rigorous testing and quality control standards to ensure purity. According to the company, each product is handcrafted and FDA audited, and is produced in a GMP compliant facility with pure Colorado hemp derived CBD that is non-GMO and 100% organic.
Transparency
Independent CBD testing is a vital quality and safety control measure to ensure that the labeled amounts of CBD and THC are as close as possible to the contents of each final product a customer receives. All of the products in my Proleve order were third party tested for the standard CBD and THC potency and passed all testing for contaminants such as pesticides, microbials, and heavy metals.
Rather than a centralized testing hub, all of the third party lab results for Proleve products are scattered throughout the main website. Each individual product page lists only the corresponding lab results for one product at a time. Customer support was contacted through email, concerning where to locate all the third party lab results. An agent replied to the query within 1 business day with the information requested, guiding me to a centralized testing link not accessible online:
Accuracy
It was easy to match my products to the independent third party lab reports posted online and through the testing link. As far as the lab results for the 25 mg gummies, this product had 26.2 mg of CBD per serving (1 piece), which is more CBD total than the 750 mg label with 786 mg total CBD. This is under the acceptable 10% variance at 4.8%, according to the independent third party lab results.
The independent report for their batch of their 750 mg gel capsules had a 2.8% variance in CBD with 771 total mg of CBD, which is also below the 10% accuracy variance allowed. The 500 mg lab report for their unflavored tincture, however, had a CBD variance of 20.8% with 604.6 mg of total CBD, which is higher than the acceptable 10% variance.
All products in the order tested under the legal 0.3% THC limit, and all of these products passed purity testing for pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants, as seen here on the 50 mg broad spectrum gummy product page:
Reputation
Established in 2019, Proleve products are made from ingredients sourced entirely from small to medium sized farmers and growers, who are also committed to organic, all natural farming practices. Proleve’s catalog offers a high volume of organic products that are 100% natural and independently third party lab tested for potency and purity.
In 2020, the company has shown a heavy focus on growing revenues through product and extract additions, and on growing their business throughout their home state of Florida. Proleve adheres strictly to a “standard of internal excellence” for every CBD product they offer.

Manufacturing Process
Proleve is a legal, authorized grower of premium organic, non-GMO Colorado hemp.

Proleve formulates each of their CBD products with easily digestible MCT oil as the carrier, for maximum bioavailability.
All Proleve products are manufactured in a GMP compliant facility. After formulation, the next step is independent third party CBD testing, which is a vital quality and safety control measure utilized by Proleve to ensure that the labeled potency of CBD and THC matches the contents. They conduct rigorous independent lab testing for all of their products and post the results online, concerning both purity and potency.
They offer premium quality organic broad spectrum, full spectrum, and isolate CBD extract that is available in tinctures, gel capsules, topicals, gummies, isolate, bath bombs, as well as vape and pet products. Their products range from 25 mg to 5000 mg of CBD, and are slightly lower priced than other comparable organic CBD brands, with an average price point of $.06 per mg.
