Alpine Pure Broad spectrum · 6,000 mg

One thing was taken out. On this lot the laboratory reported every form of THC it looks for as not detected, and still measured 722 mg of CBG, five terpenes with a number against their name, and an aromatic fraction larger than the full-spectrum bottle's.

01 · The spectrum

One thing was taken out.

Broad spectrum is a description of a subtraction. The extract is taken through a further step that removes the THC and leaves the rest of the plant's chemistry where it was. Whether that step worked is not a matter of opinion: it is a line on a certificate. Here are three figures from this lot's, and then that line.

CBD, as tested
6,570mg
The label promises six thousand. The laboratory found 570 mg more, nine and a half per cent above it.
CBG, as tested
722mg
The larger of the two minor cannabinoids on this certificate. The other is CBDV, at 68.4 mg. Both in § 04.
Terpene fraction
1.117%
312 mg in the bottle, five compounds with a number, taken apart one by one in § 02.
0.00 mg · Total THC

On lot SV-BST6000-001, ACS Laboratory reports total THC as 0.00 mg in the bottle. Δ9-THC, Δ8-THC, THCA-A and THCV each came back not detected, down to 0.0000130 mg/g for Δ9-THC. The carton puts it as THC-Free (non-detectable Δ9-THC), and this certificate is the document behind that line.

The certificate prints the method's limits beside each result: 0.0000130 mg/g to detect Δ9-THC, 0.015 % to put a number on it. The carton's other line, compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill, rests on the same result: the law draws its line at 0.3 % Δ9-THC by dry weight, and here Δ9-THC was not detected.

Which matters most to the buyer who is choosing this bottle over the full-spectrum one for a reason: an occupational test, a policy, a sensitivity. For that buyer the certificate is the document to keep: it names the lot, the method and the limit, and it is the one to ask for again whenever a new lot ships.

Broad spectrum is a claim about what survived the step.

Which makes it a claim you can check. The certificate below lists what survived in this one, compound by compound, with the laboratory's name on it.

02 · Terpenes

Thirty-eight looked for. Five found.

Terpenes are the volatile compounds that make a plant smell like itself: the resin in a pine, the peel in a lemon. The carton lists them as an ingredient, natural terpenes, and names three, primarily β-caryophyllene, linalool and limonene. ACS Laboratory ran the fraction on a gas chromatograph and found those three and two more.

    The panel run on this lot

    Five with a number, thirty-three without.

    The method looks for thirty-eight terpenoids whether or not they are expected. Five came back with a number and the other thirty-three were not detected. All thirty-eight are below: the five first, largest to smallest, then the rest in the order the certificate lists them.

      The carton prints three names: Beta-Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Limonene, primarily. They are the first, second and third figures on this certificate, in the same order, and together they are 96 % of the fraction. They are marked in the grid above.

      0 mg

      Of terpenes in the bottle. That figure is arithmetic, not a measurement: the five figures on the certificate add up to 11.168 mg per gram, and it gives the density as 0.93 g/mL, so thirty millilitres weigh 27.9 g. The laboratory published the numbers; the multiplication is ours, and it is shown so you can redo it.

      What the step costs

      The THC left. The aroma stayed.

      Two bottles under the same name on the carton, Alpine Pure, with two certificates from two laboratories, so this is a comparison of records, not a controlled experiment. Read as records, they say the removal step took the THC and left a terpene fraction larger than the one in the bottle that kept it.

      The blends are not the same, and the cartons say so: this one names β-caryophyllene, linalool and limonene, the full-spectrum one names myrcene, linalool and β-caryophyllene, and each carton's three are the three largest on its own certificate. The full-spectrum page takes that one apart the same way. The broad-spectrum formulation before this one, Alpine Berry, lot 220625, keeps its page and its certificate.

      03 · Dosage

      Visualise your dosage.

      The pipette is graduated in quarters, so a dose is something you can see rather than count. Drag the oil, or pick a mark. The milligrams follow, and so do the drops, forty to a millilitre. The carton's own instruction is three steps: shake well, hold it under the tongue for thirty seconds, swallow.

      Taking it

      The four marks are the ones printed on the side of your carton, under the words Visualize Your Dosage: one millilitre is two hundred milligrams, and it goes down in quarters from there. Six thousand divided by thirty is the same two hundred, so the printed scale and the label agree.

      One millilitre is one dropper, which is the serving the label declares, thirty to a bottle. Drops and days are arithmetic from there: forty drops to a millilitre, so a drop carries five milligrams by the label.

      The laboratory measured more than the label promises. ACS Laboratory found 219 mg of CBD in every millilitre, 6,570 mg in the bottle, which is 9.5 % above the label and about 5.5 mg a drop. That is inside the ten per cent this house holds itself to, and § 04 says how close to the edge it is.

      How much is right for you is not a question this page can answer, and not one for a product page. We publish the arithmetic, not advice.

      04 · Inside the bottle

      What the laboratory found.

      Measured by ACS Laboratory in Florida, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, on the lot in this bottle. Not our numbers. Theirs.

      Of everything active in the bottle

      89.3 % is CBD. The rest is the point.

      CBD 6,570 mg
      CBG and CBDV, together 790.4 mg

      The two figures sum to the certificate's total of 7,360 mg of cannabinoids, of which CBD is 89.3 %. The second bar is about seven times the length it had on the previous broad-spectrum lot, and almost all of it is CBG. None of it is THC.

      The other 10.7 %

      Two more, and eight empty lanes.

      Minor cannabinoids as tested, milligrams per 30 mL container, batch SV-BST6000-001, ACS Laboratory sample AAHY722. Bars are drawn on a fixed scale of 0 to 900 milligrams. CBD is not shown here; at 6,570 mg it is off this scale and appears in the ribbon above. The last eight rows were each reported as not detected, the four THC forms among them.

      CBD is not on this chart. At 6,570 mg it is nine times the tallest bar here and would flatten every other row into the axis. The laboratory reports CBG at 24.1 mg/mL and CBDV at 2.28 mg/mL, and the milligrams above are its own per-package column, not our arithmetic. The eight empty lanes are results, not gaps: each came back not detected, and four of them are the THC forms the note in § 01 is about.

      Three things in the bottle

      Organic MCT oil

      30 mL the carrier

      The oil everything is dissolved in, and the first word of the carton's ingredient list. It is what makes a dropper possible, and what carries an extract that on its own is a resin. The laboratory gives this bottle a density of 0.93 g/mL, which is how a millilitre becomes a milligram anywhere on this page.

      Broad-spectrum hemp extract

      7,360 mg cannabinoids

      CBD, CBG and CBDV with a figure, and every THC form the method looks for reported as not detected. Broad spectrum means the extract went through a further step to take the THC out, and that the rest was left where it was. The table above is that sentence in numbers.

      Natural terpenes

      312 mg 1.117 %

      The carton lists them as an ingredient in their own right and names three, primarily β-caryophyllene, linalool and limonene. A profile the carton names is a formulation choice and part of the brand's identity, and we say so rather than call it whatever the harvest happened to carry. What is not a choice is the figure, and § 02 lists it compound by compound.

      Three rows, and the carton's ingredient panel lists exactly these three. It is transcribed below with every other face of the packaging.

      What the packaging prints

      Four faces, three panels.

      Transcribed from the carton and the label, face by face, with line breaks turned into dots. The buttons under the model at the top of this page turn it to each one.

      +0 %

      Six thousand milligrams is what the label promises. This lot was measured at 6,570, which is 570 mg above the printed figure, nine and a half per cent. Ten per cent is the ceiling we hold ourselves to, in both directions; this batch used almost all of it, upward, and we would rather print that than round it away.

      Safety panels

      Six panels. All pass.

      Pesticides

      102 compounds screened, none detected. Pass.

      Heavy metals

      Arsenic and cadmium not detected; lead and mercury below the 100 ppb the method can quantify. Pass.

      Mycotoxins

      Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 and ochratoxin A, none detected. Pass.

      Residual solvents

      34 solvents screened, ethanol among them, none detected. Pass.

      Pathogens

      Salmonella and STEC, absent in 25 g. Pass.

      Microbial counts

      Aerobic bacteria, yeast and mould, coliforms, each under its limit. Pass. The figures are below.

      On the counts. Total aerobic count under 1,000 cfu/g against a limit of 10,000; yeast and mould under 100 against 1,000; coliforms under 10 against 100. The limits are Colorado's, which is the rule the laboratory applies on this certificate. The previous broad-spectrum lot carried five safety panels and no microbiology, and three residual solvents with a figure against them; this one carries six, and its solvent panel came back empty.

      05 · How it is made

      Two countries, one bottle.

      01 · Formulation

      Switzerland

      The formulation is Swiss. That is where the recipe, the ratio and the terpene profile come from, and the carton says so on its dosage side, in the same sentence that names the other country.

      02 · Hemp and manufacture

      United States

      The extract comes from a farm and extraction facility in Colorado whose cultivation and extraction are both audited by third parties, named in § 06. The removal step, blending, filling and sealing happen in the United States. We say both halves because only saying one of them would be the wrong impression.

      One bottle

      Thirty millilitres, amber glass, one certificate.

      Organic MCT oil, broad-spectrum hemp extract, natural terpenes. The carton prints the volume, the milligrams, the dosage marks and the three named terpenes; everything else on this page comes from the laboratory.

      This lot

      Analysis by ACS Laboratory, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (A2LA certificate 6786.01). On lot SV-BST6000-001: cannabinoids, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, residual solvents, pathogens and microbial counts.

      Every figure on this page belongs to batch SV-BST6000-001 and to one certificate: ACS Laboratory sample AAHY722, received , report version 4 issued . Its header reads R&D, which means the test was commissioned rather than filed under a state compliance programme, and the pass limits it applies are Colorado's. The laboratory lists what changed since the first version: report format, terpenes, net weight and density format. Read it on the laboratory's own portal, which is where the QR code on the certificate leads, or take our copy (PDF, 2.1 MB), the same file byte for byte, SHA-256 0538abe09fe18fa1fa35481490a45ec44f3984d327ac47040ae7bc84871a82eb. The two audit certificates above belong to the Colorado farm and extraction facility the extract comes from, not to Swiss Vitalis. Their numbers are published so the claims can be checked, and a qualified buyer receives the documents under a confidentiality agreement. The rest of the range has pages of its own: the full-spectrum Alpine Pure, the THCv isolate and the Delta-9 gummies. The broad-spectrum formulation before this one, Alpine Berry, keeps its page with lot 220625, and the lab results page carries both lots.
