PhytoLogica™ Review

Written by Cathy Rozyczko — Edited by Jason Brett on February 19, 2021

PhytoLogica may be the entrepreneurial embodiment of a silver lining. While the father of the company’s founder may have lost his battle with cancer, despite finding help through cannabidiol, that didn’t stop his daughter from taking what she’d learned from the experience to help others get through their own difficult times. And fittingly, a company inspired by so much medical hardship, goes through special pains to ensure the CBD oil it delivers is as safe and high quality as possible.

There’s certainly no shortage of personal experiences that have inspired entrepreneurs to begin selling CBD oil — but unfortunately, not all those stories have happy endings.

For PhytoLogica founder Heather Atwell, that sad outcome goes double.

The businesswoman was dealt a particularly tricky hand when her parents underwent nearly simultaneous health crises: Her father was diagnosed with throat and neck cancer while her mother, a longtime opioid addict, began showing the first signs of Dementia.

Determined to help however she could, Atwell came across the concept of cannabidiol in her research, and eventually devised a CBD oil regimen for her father which she said helped beat the cancer back into remission. Her mother, however, wouldn’t take the supplement, and as her mental state continued to deteriorate, Atwell’s father became consumed with grief, fell back into old, unhealthy habits, and eventually saw his cancer return — this time, fatally.

But rather than let the tragedy stop and define her, Atwell focused on what she saw as the positive experience her father had with cannabidiol, using it as inspiration to start PhytoLogica.

Perhaps also inspired by that particularly painful history, PhytoLogica takes extensive measures to ensure its products are as safe and high-quality as possible. The company sources its hemp from certified organic farms in Colorado, then puts the plant through the supercritical CO2 extraction method, as well as an additional proprietary purification process, to produce its THC-free CBD oil.

Each batch also undergoes third-party lab testing, with Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) showcasing the levels of THC and CBD, as well as the lack of heavy metals, residual solvents, and other contaminants present on each product page.

The thoughtful cannabidiol mixture is then infused into a trio of delivery methods, including CBD oil tinctures, cannabidiol softgel capsules, and CBD topical balm. CBD oil tinctures for pets are also available.

PhytoLogical’s softgels institute nanotechnology to widely increase the product’s bioavailability (which is up to 4x higher than non-water soluble CBD gelcaps, according to the company). And we’re happy to point out that the brand switched from polysorbates in these softgels to an all-natural emulsifier. A giant pat on the back from us on this one!

Ingredients throughout the CBD catalog check out, with prices ranging from $47 to $269.

Bottom Line – PhytoLogica may have been inspired by tragedy, but the company seems truly dedicated to helping others avoid a similar fate. The care they take in sourcing and preparing their CBD products is obvious from the start, and the numbers they happily offer only serve to solidify safety claims. The company even shows a charitable side, offering a discount for military members and veterans.
