A graph over the past 10 years showing CBD product consumption makes impressive viewing. It can’t simply be down to good marketing; people have clearly discovered products they like and logically, as they are returning to buy more, they have found products that work as well.  The US Farm Bill of 2018 opened the market for the cultivation of legal, industrialised hemp, while several states followed suit with the legalisation of medicinal and recreational cannabis. This legal underpinning has created the foundations of a burgeoning new industry. Hope you enjoy our Receptra Naturals review …

A Stick of Relief!!

This topical stick has really been helping for neck & shoulder pain after a car accident. It's very easy to apply because the balm is quite soft (so don't leave it in a warm or sunny area). I so very much prefer to use this & not take anti-inflammatory medicine.
Thank you Receptra!!!!

5.0

The CBD Insider website, which promotes itself as an independent assessor of CBD products, rated this second Serious Relief product by Receptra Naturals as their top pick of 2020.

They cited its high CBD concentration, sensory experience, and its effectiveness. 

The natural CBD hemp topical cream contains arnica and jojoba to help with minimising swelling and inflammation, while jasmine, ylang-ylang, and camphor all help to soothe. 


Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical - Sports Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical - Sports
5.0

The Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical - Sports includes the Yoga, Ski/Snowboard and Fitness range.

The Yoga brand in the Serious Relief range aims to combat these symptoms effectively. The cream uses arnica, an herb of the sunflower family, to naturally reduce joint pain.

Whether skiing, snowboarding, or just walking in winter, winter sports can easily take their toll. Muscle fatigue and the hammering knees and hips must take on the runs can quickly mount up. The body is quick to recover but any additional help is always welcome, that’s where Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical Ski/Board comes into its own. The combined recovery offered by a higher 400mg topical CBD extract dose along with natural, supplementary ingredients ready aids recovery.

For more serious athletes, cyclists, runners, swimmers, and regular gym goers the Fitness product in the Serious Relief range aims to offer recovery to muscles and joints. The full entourage effect of the CBD extract is aided by soothing jasmine, arnica, jojoba, ylang-ylang, and camphor.

For customers who must routinely undergo regular drug tests whether for work or professional sports CBD extracts can be problematic. 

Receptra Naturals have addressed this problem with a range of products that have no THC content at all.

They are just as effective as the products that do contain THC but without the risk of a false positive test. 


Seriously Relax + Arnica Body Oil Seriously Relax + Arnica Body Oil
5.0

Sometimes a body oil is preferable to a topical cream, for example when massage is part of the application to really work the oil into the muscle.

The oil is naturally scented with lavender and vanilla, while arnica oil helps to relieve tension.

And for the skin Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and Camphor all help to moisturise. 


Pet CBD 

CBD products activate the endocannabinoid system in the human body, which result in the range of positive effects. All vertebrate animals also have an endocannabinoid system and can consequently benefit in the same way from CBD products. For this reason Receptra Naturals have created a range of dedicated pet products. 

receptra naturals review: good for your dog too?
Receptra CBD Dog Chews - Peanut Butter Bacon Receptra CBD Dog Chews - Peanut Butter Bacon
5.0

Receptra CBD Dog Treats are an easy and quick way to administer CBD extract to your dog. 

The chew has been designed around what dogs love to taste, so the main flavours are peanut butter, bacon, and salmon oil.

The salmon oil is less for flavour and more to do with its ability to minimise inflammation, reduce pain, improve mobility, and create a shiny coat. Generally joint pain with dogs is associated with age or injury. 

Pros:
  • Chews and tincture are easy to administer
  • Administration by mouth is more effective
  • Dosing is easy and transparent
Cons:
  • Administration with glass dropper awkward

Receptra Pet Tincture 16mg/dose (1oz) Receptra Pet Tincture 16mg/dose (1oz)
5.0

Pet Tincture for small pets has a reduced CBD content of 16mg dose and is suitable for cats, dogs, and birds.

Although it is not recommended to insert the glass dropper into the pet’s mouth.

The tincture has been created to contain a high fatty acid content to improve muscle and joint health. 


Receptra Pet Tincture 25mg/dose (1oz) Receptra Pet Tincture 25mg/dose (1oz)
5.0

Pet tincture for large pets has been formulated with a higher to 25mg dose.

It can be dropped into the pet’s mouth, while keeping the glass dropper away or the tincture can be dropped directly onto the pet’s food. 


Happy as always

I have used this cbd for over a year now and could not be happier with it. Helps to soothe my inflammation and after years of discomfort with my neck, due to a surgery, I no longer have to live uncomfortably!

About The Company 

For Rusty Scott, founder of Receptra Naturals, necessity really was the mother of invention. In 2015 he slipped on some ice while walking in a Colorado snowstorm injuring his knee. Months of recuperation left him frustrated but it was the ineffectiveness of mainstream drugs that really got him thinking. So much so that Receptra Naturals was founded with the following mission: To provide therapeutically potent CBD products from organically grown Colorado Hemp that consistently work. 

receptra naturals review: is hemp a global warning solution?

All the hemp is grown locally and processed on site by internal and external chemists to enable them to achieve industry-standards such as, cGMP, which stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice. Products are now available in more than 50 states in the US. 

Keen to give back to society Receptra Naturals also has a Military Appreciation Program for active and retired military personnel, who receive 50% off orders. Other philanthropic initiatives support social, animal, and environmental projects. 


Receptra Naturals Benefits 

It has long been established that all vertebrate mammals, including man, have a naturally occurring endocannabinoid system as part of their physiology. The system helps to maintain the complex equilibrium in the body. Sometimes this equilibrium goes out of alignment and CBD products help to redress the balance. CBD products also inhibit enzymes from breaking down your own body’s endocannabinoids, which boosts the remaining CBD levels. 

Helps my old blue healer rest at night.

This is the best pain relief for my 14 year old cattle dog. she worked hard all her life and now she has aches and pains. before this she had very rough nights trying to sleep. one dropper on some food at bed time works. I have tried many other naturals and they did not help her all night.

Receptra Naturals Review: FAQ 

Is Receptra CBD Organic? 

Receptra Naturals raw hemp is cultivated not far from the production facility. The crops are grown using organic standards by a team of passionate farmers, who see the hemp through its life cycle from planting to growing and finally harvesting. 

Receptra Naturals is one of the first CBD companies to obtain cGMP certification. cGMP stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice, which is a comprehensive standard that includes regulations enforced by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Additionally, all products are routinely sent to independent third-party analysts to verify the ingredients and ensure all products are safe, effective, and accurately labelled. 

What Product Is Right For Me? 

After harvesting and initial processing, the cannabis is extracted from the plant using a temperature controlled cold ethanol process, which ensures the maximum extraction of the active components (a similar process is used in the extraction of vanilla from vanilla pods). This extract is then broken down into three products, full spectrum, which utilises all the cannabinoid compounds in the plant, broad-spectrum, which contains all the previous compounds except for psychoactive THC. The final extract, isolate only contains the CBD with no additional cannabinoids or other plant compounds. 

receptra naturals review: great tasting gummies

So, when choosing the right product, it’s best to choose between the full spectrum and broad-spectrum. The full spectrum contains the most comprehensive range of ingredients, which work together for a greater effect. This is called the entourage effect. However, full spectrum does contain a very small quantity of the psychoactive ingredient THC. So, if drug testing is a routine part of your work or professional sports then broad-spectrum is the better choice. 

How Do You Use Receptra Naturals CBD? 

There are four different methods of taking the Receptra Naturals CBD range, each with their own advantages.  

The tincture range is packaged in small dropper bottles and contains CBD extract and carrier oils, which convey the active CBD ingredients. The tincture is dropped under the tongue and left there for a few seconds to transfer through the skin directly into the bloodstream. 

The gummies range is manufactured as chewy, wild strawberry flavoured sweets. They are a vegan product, manufactured from pectin. The gummies are light and very handy and easy to take, if you are out and about, as a bag of mints. 

The capsules range contain 25 mg of the same CBD extract as the tincture range. Capsules are better for someone who prefers to take an exact dose. 

The topicals range or hemp creams are cannabidiol-infused creams that are absorbed through the skin. The creams are given additional soothing qualities with the addition of arnica and camphor and can be applied directly to the affected area. This application close to the source of pain helps to ensure fast acting relief. 

hemp

Receptra Naturals also have a CBD range for pets including dogs and birds. The tincture can be applied to the pet’s food, although it is not recommended trying to drop the tincture directly into the pet’s mouth. The treat version for dogs is bound to be well received flavoured with peanut butter bacon and salmon oil. 

Can I Take Hemp Oil With My Medication? 

The interaction of hemp oil with over the counter and prescribed medications is well documented. There is some indication CBD products can inhibit enzymes in the body, which are associated with breaking down and eliminating waste products. By slowing the efficiency of these enzymes, the concentration of these waste products can be elevated. 

Before you start taking any CBD products it is best to check with your doctor, to discuss your current drug regime and if there is likely to be any interaction. 

One general area of more concern is any drugs that include a ‘grapefruit warning’. These drugs can also inhibit the effectiveness of the same enzymes that CBD products affect. 

Usually, under the care of your doctor, it will be possible to start taking CBD products at a low level and monitor the effects. Similarly, if there is an interaction with oral products then the range of creams and lotions may well be a suitable alternative.
