How and where are hustle + flo™ products made?
hustle + flo™ CBD is proudly sourced from Tricolla Farms, a certified organic NY hemp farm, and extracted by Bardo Labs through a uniquely craft-centric approach.
Every ounce of hustle + flo™ CBD gets its start in the soils of Tricolla Farms, in the southern tier of New York.
To feed their hemp right, Tricolla feeds the soil first—introducing certified organic composts, nutrients and custom-blended compost teas that in turn provide plants with the proper nutrients.
An underground, drip irrigation system sends water and feedings directly to the root system, and as a result, Tricolla uses 40-60% less water than traditional irrigation—with better results.
Every hemp plant is planted and harvested by hand, then hang-dried in order to develop and retain the terpenes.
After harvest, all stalks, stems, and branches that can't be used in product become compost, then reenter the fields the following year.
Tricolla Farms protects the land by rotating their fields, introducing cover crops that they do not harvest, and giving farming plots time to rest and recover naturally before replanting.
Finally, we process very small amounts with cutting edge CO2 extraction, using only what we need to sustain hustle+flo product.
Are hustle + flo™ products 3rd party lab tested?
Do hustle + flo™ products contain THC?
Yes, our products are made full spectrum distillate or whole flower extract containing the legal THC limit of 0.3% grown in compliance with Section 7606 of the US Farm Bill. If you want to avoid THC, we suggest you consume broad spectrum hemp extract CBD products as they contain 0 THC.
I’m new to CBD, where do I start?
Implementing a CBD regimen is very personal. Before starting a wellness journey with hustle + flo™ products, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or home health provider. It’s important to determine if a CBD treatment is the right option to ensure that no drug interactions or concerns exist and/or if you are trying to conceive, pregnant or nursing.
Once you are in the clear to move forward, determine your preferred method of consumption. Since you are new to CBD, your choices with hustle + flo™ products are:
Press the Reset™ Anywhere Oral Spray
A perfect entry-point for those new to CBD, our Press the Reset™ Oral Spray combines convenience with all the benefits of cannabidiol. This simple mouth spray has a refreshing, peppermint flavor and 24mg of CBD per suggested dose that can relieve anxiety when you're on the go.
Bioavailability (how soon you feel an active effect) depends on whether you spray directly into your mouth vs. spraying the recommended dose under the tongue.
There is a plethora of exposed capillaries that exist in your gums and absorption through the gums is a bit faster. Meaning, bioavailability is higher when consuming sublingual (under the tongue).
Features:
- Pure CBD with a refreshing peppermint taste.
- Convenient spray bottle is easier to use than tinctures.
- Easy to carry in clothing pockets, bag pen pockets.
- Good for lighter CBD use.
- Powerful dose 800mg CBD packed in a 10ML bottle.
- 24MG CBD per suggested dose.
Now, if you prefer to smoke and are looking for faster onset delivery, we recommend:
"Exhale the BS" Anytime Pre Roll
Blow away the bad stuff with our "Exhale the BS" Anytime Pre Roll. Rolled with local, hand-harvested organic CBD flower, this pre-roll provides a smooth smoking experience with a slightly fruity aroma, and can provide a mellow calming effect when you need it most. Smoke a little at a time to assess your ultimate dose.
Features
- Inhalation supports rapid onset delivery of CBD benefits.
- Rolled in organic hemp paper.
- Fruity, creamy aroma.
How are hustle + flo™ CBD softgels compared to a CBD tincture?
hustle + flo™ CBD softgels provide incredible value because of their concentration + ingredient profile. Each formula carries a proprietary blend containing a powerful CBD dose (50mg) + carefully curated adaptogens + a specialty tepene mix to enhance the intended effects - daytime vs. night-time.
The closest dosage comparison is a 1500mg 30ml CBD tincture bottle. Keep in mind we are only referring to CBD as the only ingredient. Our CBD softgels gives you more than just CBD. By the way, premium quality CBD on its own is incredible; however, after conducting research, we discovered that consumers were looking to address specific needs, hence the birth of our softgels.
The bioavailability of an ingestible like our CBD softgels is around 15-20% average vs. 15-30% with a tincture. The variables that come into play are whether or not you take it on an empty stomach, if the CBD is dissolved in fats (MCT oil is the standard carrier oil due to its specific lipid structure, hence adding it to our oral spray and softgels). If you take it on a full stomach the bioavailability increases a fairly significant amount. Take it on a stomach that is fed with [good] fats, that's even better.
Softgels will take a longer time to digest, but the time it stays present in the bloodstream is also a little longer!
We recommend you start with 1 softgel per day or night depending on your needs and assess accordingly. If consuming daytime and night-softgels for their unique benefits, we recommend 5 total softgels combined in a 24 hour period.

More on our softgels
The casing of our softgels in Bovine derived making them veganless. Bovine gelatin is made from the bones and skins of animals which is considered an animal by-product.
The main factors we considered when choosing a softgel casing were bioavailability and compatibility of the material's solubility. Our goal was and is to give you the best possible product. This does not mean that we won’t change our formulations in the future, it means this is the best option currently.
The amount of CBD absorbed in the body is not the amount of CBD available from the product. Just by itself, bioavailability of ingested CBD is not very high. There are various techniques to increase the amount of CBD absorbed in the body, and we have applied several of them in these soft gels. Primarily, we are using a fat soluble carrier oil (MCT oil) for the CBD. This carrier oil makes it much easier for the body to transfer the CBD to the bloodstream from the GI tract. Our preferred carrier oil will rest for a very long time with zero degradation in a bovine soft gel, while vegan or vegetarian capsules show signs of degradation much sooner than we would like. While vegan/vegetarian capsules have label advantages, the lack of stability in the optimal carrier oil for increased bioavailability makes vegan/vegetarian capsules hard to opt for. The disadvantage of a bovine gelatin essentially comes down to the fact that it is animal based, and some people don't like that. However, given its bioavailability advantages and solubility advantages with both the CBD and the GI tract, bovine gelatin's advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
Why do you use coconut derived MCT oil in your oral spray and softgels?
CBD is dissolved in fats (MCT oil is the standard carrier oil due to its specific lipid structure).
Taking CBD on a full stomach the bioavailability increases a fairly significant amount. Take it on a stomach that is fed with [good] fats, that's even better. Also, the length of time the oil is held under the tongue prior to swallowing would be a big contributor to that variability for oral sprays and tinctures.
[good] fats: include but not limited to avocados, olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish such as salmon.
