HOBGOOD, N.C., Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Criticality, a
North Carolina-based agricultural
hemp company operating under North
Carolina's industrial hemp pilot program, has announced the
launch of its inaugural line of consumer cannabidiol (CBD)
products, under the brand name Korent. The expertly-crafted
and responsibly-produced CBD oils offer a natural path to improved
well-being.
"Criticality combines more than 100 years of agricultural
heritage, and decades of experience perfecting extraction and
purification technologies for the food and pharmaceutical
industries, into our Korent products," said Brian Moyer, Chief Executive Officer of
Criticality.
The Korent oil drops are featured in Vanilla Mint and Grape
flavors and are offered in three concentrations in each flavor –
900mg of CBD/30ml, 450mg of CBD/30ml and 150mg of CBD/30ml. These
full-spectrum oral solutions are administered sublingually via an
included calibrated dropper for precise measurements. Criticality
will continue to launch additional product lines from its
innovation pipeline over the next several months.
"Korent's goal is helping you get back to you. It's essential
that CBD be of the highest quality possible. With Korent, we've
committed to delivering just that – offering the best, most
transparent CBD products available so we can make a difference in
people's lives."
Korent CBD products come from carefully cultivated agricultural
hemp grown by family farmers. Before processing, Criticality's hemp
is analyzed and validated for cannabinoid levels and potential
contaminants from processing and the growing process by independent
third party laboratories. Korent uses all-natural,
environmentally-friendly methods to extract CBD oil from plant
material without the use of harsh chemicals. After verified
material is processed, it's subjected to further analysis and
validation, as well as final tests for purity.
"Our products are verifiable and traceable. Each individual
product is marked with a unique lot number that consumers can enter
into our website to easily verify the CBD product in their hand,"
added Moyer.
Korent products are currently available for purchase online at
www.korenthemp.com and at select retail locations. Criticality
intends to continue to launch additional products from its
innovation pipeline and expand retail distribution.
