Hit! Balm only sources the plants in our extract from farms using organic growing methods and are on the path to becoming certified. We have a relationship with a single farm in Colorado where we have conducted on-site audits to ensure the highest quality product, and our extracts are tested both at source and when they arrive in our facilities. Zero pesticides or fungicides, just pure Colorado grown hemp-based CBD, with the full entourage effect of multiple cannabinoids including CBn and CBg.

Our hemp is extracted via a food grade, low-temperature ethanol process. This extraction method provides a complete, high-quality extract rich in the full suite of plant compounds. The low boiling point of ethanol allows for its complete removal from the final distillate oil so there are no residues remaining–just pure, organically-grown hemp extract. 

All batches are uniquely identified with trace back to Certificates of Analysis (COA) for potency and potential contaminants from an independent licensed testing facility. All COAs can be accessed via HitBalm.com, and by scanning the QR code found on the label of your product.

‘Isolate’ removes all other compounds from the hemp extract, while distillate retains the other beneficial compounds and terpenes that also provide benefits. This is often referred to as the ‘Entourage effect’ and we feel it makes a big difference in Hit! Balm’s efficacy.

Hit! Balm’s products are entirely hemp-based and contain less than 0.3% THC, which allows them to be sold legally under the 2018 Farm Bill. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for all products are available on HitBalm.com

Hit! Balm’s distillate is extracted using an ethanol (alcohol) method, which keeps it free from residual solvents like butane or CO2.

Hit! Drops droppers are ‘graduated’ with measurement lines printed onto them for proper dosing. A ‘full’ dropper contains 1ml of Hit! Drops (34mg), while a typical dose is half of that, 0.5ml (17mg).

The typical method of finding the right dosage is to start off with a miniscule amount. For instance, users might start off with 5mg dosage for the first week. If the user experiences no change, they might increase to 10mg, and continue increasing it bit by bit until they find it subjectively effective and consistent in providing possible relief. A typical dosage is 17mg/0.5ml.

The Hit! in Hit! Balm comes from an ancient combination of Chinese herbs known as a dit da jow,which loosely translates to ‘hit (impact) medicinal wine’. These formulas were used by martial artists and herbalist/acupuncturists to treat the various sprains, strains and contusions caused by mild to moderate traumatic injuries. Our version of Hit Medicine forms the backbone of Hit! Balm and is one of the things that makes it one of the best relief balms in the world. Interested in learning more?
