Transparency
The Foods and Drug Administration does not regulate CBD products as it does drugs. As such, CBD brands are required to conduct 3rd party tests using independent labs to examine their products for potency and purity. Potency tests ensure that items have the exact CBD concentrations as indicated on the labels and that the total THC concentrations per product are less than 0.3%. Contrastingly, purity tests examine products for external contaminants, including heavy metals, solvents, residues, microbials, and mycotoxins.
Accuracy
In reviewing CBD brands, we look at their 3rd party purity and potency tests. The total THC concentrations per item must be less than 0.03%. On the other hand, the cannabis regulations accept up to 10% variance for CBD concentrations. We are happy to mention that, as far as we are concerned, Reakiro’s products passed all the potency tests and posted variances less than the 10% acceptable limit across all the products. Moreover, all the items in the brand’s inventory have less than 0.03% THC, which is the acceptable threshold. What’s more, all the items were tested for purity and passed the tests, showing that no heavy metals, solvents, residues, or any external contaminant were detected.
Manufacturing Process
Reakiro is a legal hemp grower of the European strain of hemp plants. The company uses non-GMO organic hemp to manufacture CBD products. The hemp is sourced from organic farms in Lithuania and Spain. Such farms that practice organic farming minimize pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals throughout the process, from breeding to harvesting hemp. This is important because it ensures the safety of the products and lowers the concentration of contaminants, which us all products in Reakiro’s inventory passed contaminant test, including for pesticides.
Once the hemp plants mature, hemp is harvested and transported to the company’s manufacturing facilities. Ethanol extraction is used to strip CBD from the hemp surfaces, resulting in broad-spectrum extracts. The company uses MCT oil as the base carrier for all its products, ensuring they are more bioavailable and that the cannabinoids therein are easily absorbed in the body. The extracts are formulated into CBD capsules, vitamin supplements, oils, sprays, topicals, and gummies.
The FDA does not regulate the production of CBD products, nor does it follow all the steps included. As such, CBD brands are required to conduct potency and purity tests using 3rd party labs. Reakiro observes these regulations and conducts tests using independent labs to examine the products for THC and CBD potency and purity. It’s so commendable that all the products passed the tests, revealing THC less than the 0.3% acceptable threshold for full-spectrum items. Besides, all the items across the inventory had less than 10% variance for CBD, and all passed contaminant tests, showing no presence of detectable heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbials, solvents, and residues.

- The brand deals in broad- and full-spectrum formulations only, locking out users who would like to take CBD isolates
- The €65 threshold for free shipping is a bit high, and not all clients might make it up there to qualify for free shipping
Our Verdict
Our review of Reakiro was positive because the brand is diligent about 3rd party purity and THC and CBD potency tests and posts the results on its website. Besides, it has a fairly wide assortment of products, offering capsules, tinctures, sprays, extracts, and topicals, but no pet products. We were happy that all the products passed lab tests, showing the brand’s commitment to ensuring quality production. Nonetheless, Reakiro can perform better in the CBD arena by including pet items in its inventory and lowering its free shipping threshold.
