CBD Brand Review Rating
★★★★★ |
American Shaman is one of the largest CBD retailers in the United States. The company was founded in 2015 and has a sizable reach with over 365 locations.
While the brand has an incredible selection of top-quality CBD products, their website is a bit confusing. With dozens of selection boxes and various drop-down menus next to each product description, it makes navigation a small challenge.
We were surprised to find that the company's highest concentration of CBD oil was only 1200mg total per 30ml bottle. Many of todays top rated CBD companies offer concentrations of 5,000 or more, with a few offering 12,000mg! See Our Complete Review

Best CBD Products From CBD American Shaman
Our Review Of American Shaman
-
Testing Procedures: ★★★★★
American Shaman provides detailed independent third-party testing (COAs) on all its finished products to ensure they are free of chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals and microbes to meet the company's high standards for its customer-loved products.
Their Certificate of Analysis (COAs) or "Lab Reports" can easily be found in the header of their website under the "ABOUT" dropdown menu. The brand even tests for terpenes on many of its COAs - Nice! -
Manufacturing: ★★★★
CBD American Shaman sources high-quality hemp from farms located primarily in Kentucky, Colorado, and Oregon, known for their sustainable and organic farming practices.
The harvested hemp is then transported to their manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Missouri, where a proprietary nanotechnology extraction process is used to ensure maximum bioavailability and faster absorption of CBD.
No mention is made that American Shaman follows cGMP manufacturing processes. cGMP is an important part of our review criteria and we have scored American Shaman lower due to its lack of providing manufacturing processes on their website. -
Methods of Extraction: ★★★★★
The brand employs CO2 extraction. Though more expensive, CO2 extraction is one of the safest, most efficient methods of extracting CBD from the hemp plant, to ensure the potency and purity of a product. -
Farming Practices: ★★★★
The company sources its hemp from farms in the United States, primarily in Kentucky, Colorado, and Oregon. These farms are known for their high-quality hemp plants, which are grown using organic and sustainable farming practices.
Nonetheless, more detail about their farming practices would be a nice addition to their website. Currently, CBD Brand Review does not penalize a brand for using hemp that is not USDA certified. Due to the fact that the certification process for farms is seriously backlogged since the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. This will play a more important role in the years to come for us. -
Transparency: ★★★★
Overall, we feel that American Shaman provides good information about who they are, however, more detail would be appreciated if they want total transparency with their customer base.
We see no mention of them following cGMP practices, which would be beneficial to know. When contacted by phone, American Shaman suggested they follow cGMP guidelines but they are not certified as of yet. p>
The brand offers easy-to-find COAs on their website. These COAs are rich in data and even go further when Terpenes are tested and identified - great job American Shaman!
The company offers a 45 day return policy for products purchased from their website but only a 30-day return policy for items purchased from their stores. CUSTOMER RELATIONS:

Awards & Certifications: ★★★
Other than Hemp Authority Certification, we see no mention of any other certification or awards provided to the company.
If the company has additional certifications or awards, it would be nice to see them prominently displayed on their site!
