There are dozens of methods for processing the hemp plant into hundreds of different products each with many methods of enjoyment. Upstate uses several extraction and processing methods to create the optimal profile of constituents for each of our products.
Lipid infusion is our patented process of using a coconut oil or MCT oil base to draw the fullest possible spectrum of active compounds from the hemp plant, carefully preserving their molecular structure and maximizing the co-evolutionary benefits of the entourage effect.
Cold extraction utilizes a proprietary, closed-loop ultra-cold extraction methodology. Maintaining cryogenic temperature through the entire extraction process preserves the phytocannabinoids, terpenes, terpenoids and flavonoids within the plant while leaving behind unwanted lipids, waxes and plant sugars. The result is a 100% organic, and exceedingly pure, full spectrum oil that is rich in CBD and minor cannabinoids.
CBD isolate is a pure crystalline extraction of the CBD compound. It is free of all other cannabinoids including THC, as well as the other plant constituents that are present in our fulL.
