Methods of extracting them vary but it’s important to get them right as they affect both the yield and the quality.

While it is more expensive, the keyword here is “supercritical”, an assurance that the process is constantly maintained at exactly the right pressure and temperature.

It is one of the leading CBD manufacturers and suppliers in Europe. MH medical hemp is a German business based in Berlin.
