CBD products have become popular today, thanks to the potential benefits the cannabinoid is believed to have. Although the FDA has not approved CBD for healing, treating, or curing any condition, you will likely come across its products online and in dispensary stores across the world. SunMed is one of the many CBD-producing brands in the USA. Although it has only been in operation for three years since its launch in 2018, it is doing pretty well in the CBD arena and boasts a considerable market reputation. We had the privilege to review the company and found many likable aspects, including high-quality products, USDA certification, organic farming practices, rigorous potency and contaminant third-party testing, and availability of the results online on an easily accessible page.
About the Company
SunMed and SunFlora Inc. is a hemp-growing, and CBD-producing legalized brand located in Bradenton, Flora, USA. It has a history that dates back to 2018, and it has been in operation since then. It was launched by Rachel Quinn, a former Crohn’s disease patient who suffered for long and only found a phenomenal experience with CBD products. Consequently, she set out to start a CBD company to spread the gospel about CBD and deal in quality products that would help other ailing people benefit from the cannabinoid. The company boasts of many achievements, and its latest one is USDA certification for most of its products. Being a young player in the CBD arena, its product line is fairly wide and only includes topicals, edibles, tinctures, and pet items as the main products. Admittedly, it is one of the reputable US CBD-producing brands, especially because it deals in high-quality premium products.
Furthermore, SunMed conducts rigorous third-party tests for most of its products. Most CBD-producing companies test their items for CBD and THC potencies, and SunMed equally does that. Besides, reputable brands go beyond the obvious and test products for purity and quality by examining whether they have heavy metals, microbes, mycotoxins, solvents, moisture, and residues, among other contaminants. Thankfully, SunMed tests all its products for these impurities. Moreover, it avails the lab reports online on an easily accessible page. In fact, the Certificates of Analysis (CoA) are in PDF downloadable format one can download and view later.

Manufacturing Process
SunMed’s official webpage offers every information, including its facilities’ physical location, the team of experts, the CEO, and the founder, but nothing about its source of hemp. Although it claims that it is a legal hemp grower and CBD producer, it provides no information as to whether it directly grows hemp and where it does so or liaises with farmers who grow hemp. Nonetheless, it mentions that its products are organic, vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and USDA-certified.
Moreover, the SunMed website has multiple lab reports from third-party testing. It is commendable that the third-party lab reports provide fairly accurate lab results for potency and purity tests, revealing that the brand does a pretty good job. What’s more, viewing the lab results is not limited to having a batch number, although having such details make things easier. The company deals in tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, pet items, and bath bombs. Most of these are available in broad-, and full-spectrum formulations, but some come in isolate form.
Customer & Buying Experiences
We are happy to say that we enjoyed our experience with SunMed, both for the website and buying items. First, the website was easily navigable and detailed. Every information page, such as shipping policy, return policy, and lab reports, expounded on topics elaborately. Although the site did not have an FAQ page, other sections of the site discussed their topics exhaustively, taking care of most questions that would be addressed by the FAQ section.
Shopping was rather intuitive, and one decides what he wants to buy. Grouping products by category and sub-classifying them according to potency, flavor, and other sub-categories, making the experience better. The only challenge was that the site needed one to create an ‘add to account’ before listing any product to the cart. Technically, this meant that you can only shop with SunMed if you have an account with them. Unlike most brands, it did not have many consistent discounts, and we could not verify if it offers military veteran discounts.
Additionally, shipping for SunMed happens only within the 48 US contagious states, and there is no shipping beyond such borders, to say maybe international destinations at the moment. Free shipping is available if one orders products worth $99 and above, but anything below this is calculated based on location. We did not like that SunMed does not offer free shipping and discounts to clients within Alaska, US territories, and Hawaii. Ordering items before 1400 hours means shipping will take place the same day, but orders beyond the stated time are processed the next day. After an order has been confirmed, you can wait for your deliveries between 5 and 7 days. SunMed uses USPS first class option to ship its orders.

What We Do Not Like About the Company
Despite the major picks above, we did not like several things about SunMed. For instance;
- It does not offer free shipping and discounts to clients from Alaska, US territories, and Hawaii
- Shipping is limited to 48 US contagious states and does not include international territories
- Returns have to be approved, and the process typically takes longer and may delay the entire refund process
- The product line is somewhat limited and features gummies, topicals, capsules, pet items, and tinctures as the main items
- Adding a product to the cart allows one to create an account
- Although it answers some questions about shipping and delivery, the website does not have a designated FAQ page
- The brand says nothing about its extraction method
- Setting $99 as the lower limit for free shipping cuts other clients out, especially those with suboptimal financial situations
Our Overall Verdict
Generally, our review for SunMed was positive. The brand has an elaborate website that’s easy to navigate, a fairly comprehensive product line, three formulations for different extracts, and conducts thorough third-party tests, continuously uploading the results. Still, its $99 is relatively high and hard to meet, its 30-day money-back guarantee is subject to rejection or approval, and its discounts and free shipping exclude Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories. With slight improvements in the stated kinks, it will keep soaring higher in the CBD domain.
MS, University of Latvia
I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
