How far does one litre go?

For a beverage formulator, the useful number isn't the percentage on the label. It's how many servings a batch supports. At a nominal 200 mg/mL, one litre of our 20% C*D Isolate Water-Soluble supplies 20,000 × 12 oz (355 mL) cans at 10 mg C*D each, at 0.05 mL per can.

It's a liquid microemulsion concentrate built to disperse into water-based formulations, with a two-year shelf life and Kosher certification.

Working through the maths for your own serving size or batch volume? Our team is happy to talk it through.

What does "≥ 98% C*D" actually tell a formulator?

It's an assay figure: the measured share of C*D in the material, confirmed by independent analytical testing and documented on a Certificate of Analysis.
For formulators working to a defined cannabinoid profile, that document is what matters most.

Our C*D Isolate 1.0 is a crystalline isolate specified to ≥ 98% C*D, with a two-year shelf life and Kosher certification.

Questions about isolate specs or reading a COA? Our team is happy to talk it through.

"Third-party tested" appears on nearly every cannabinoid supplier's website. Said identically by companies operating to very different standards, it has stopped carrying information. Here is something more useful instead.

Open a certificate of analysis and look at the THC row. If it says ND — non-detect — that does not mean zero. It means the compound was not detected by the method used, at that method's limit of detection. Set the limit high enough and material with a significant amount present will still read ND. The certificate is accurate. It is also telling you very little.

So the numbers worth finding are LOD and LOQ. Limit of detection, limit of quantitation. As a general guide, LOD sits at roughly a third of LOQ. On certificates written for low-threshold markets they should be printed on the document. Everywhere else, ask for them. They exist either way.

Then ask for one more: the measurement uncertainty. A certificate reporting 98% C*D tells you where the needle landed. The uncertainty tells you how far the needle moves. It is not a standard field on certificates of this kind, but the figure exists for every validated method — and whether an answer comes back at all tells you most of what you need to know.

This is not a small distinction. Our specification for Japan and the UK is below 1 ppm total THC, and at that level the detection limit behind an ND is the whole question. Two suppliers can both report ND while working to thresholds that differ by orders of magnitude. Only one of them is compliant in Tokyo. Our specification for Japan and the UK is below 1 ppm total THC, with detection down to 0.3 ppm, and at that level the detection limit behind an ND is the whole question.

We have written the full breakdown — what to ask any supplier, and how to read what comes back.

Or skip the reading: ask us for a sample and the full specification, and you will get figures back the same day.

Reach is easy to imply and harder to count.

Founded in 2016, MHL has spent 10 years expanding our understanding of regulatory compliance, logistics and customs practices to ensure our clients retain a solid supply chain regardless of their geographic location. This enabled us to ship to a total of 32 countries in 2025.

Loveland, Colorado, USA - this is our hub and our HQ. Every kg or liter of our ingredient passes our strict release protocols before starting it's journey either direct to our customers and partners or to our UK/EU distribution base in Belfast, Northern Ireland. From there, we are able to offer expedited deliveries, free from the stress, workload and cost of transatlantic shipping to our UK/EU customers.

If you are qualifying suppliers for a regulated market, the useful question is not how many flags a company can put on a slide. It is what they are holding, where, today, and what documentation travels with it. Ask us — we will tell you.

5 brands. 30 days.

In the last month, five brands moved their Novel Foods position to Mile High Labs. Novel Foods isn't slowing this market down, it's sorting it, and the brands that take compliance seriously are consolidating fast.

It's easy to assume every Novel Food supplier is interchangeable. Same regulation, same bar, same outcome.

They're not.

The regulation is identical for everyone. What separates suppliers is what they can actually prove, and that difference is the one that shows up later in an audit, a rejected dossier, or a market you can't enter. Swipe through and connect with us for what actually sets them apart.

Happy Colorado Day, and happy 150th, Colorado! 🌄

On August 1st, 1876, Colorado became the 38th state to join the Union, earning its nickname as the "Centennial Sate" for joining 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Today marks 150 years of statehood, a milestone the Centennial State is celebrating in the very same year the country turns 250.

This one's a little personal for us. Mile High Labs was founded here, and this year marks our 10th. It's been a decade of building in the state whose name we carry. From a handful of us in Colorado to a team spanning two continents, our roots have never left the Front Range.

Colorado is known for its pioneering spirit and high standards, and those are the same standards we hold ourselves to in everything we make.

Here's to 150 years of Colorado, and to the place where we started, where we work, and where we're proud to call home. 🏔️

Quick gut check. If a clinician or program operator asked your team:

→ Can you deliver consistent bioavailability across every batch?
→ Is your bioavailability data defensible if someone asks for proof?
→ Can you support oral-only formats at a precise dose?
→ Are you positioned for healthcare-aligned programs now?
→ Are you planning on retrofitting later?

How many could you answer?

If any of those gave you pause, you're not alone. Most ingredient supply chains were built for a different era, and the standards are shifting fast.

We put together a breakdown of what's actually changing and how to evaluate where your team stands.

The announcement has already happened.

What comes next is understanding what it may mean for the future of cannabinoid products.

The Substance Access Beneficiary Engagement Incentive (BEI) is a pilot evaluating physician-supervised, hemp-derived C*D products in a more structured, outcomes-driven environment.

It’s early. It’s limited. And it’s not broad Medicare coverage.

But it does raise an important question for brands:

If cannabinoid products move closer to healthcare-oriented pathways, is your supply chain built for that future?

That’s the conversation we believe is worth having.
