      CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS

      CANNABIS

      Additionally, COAs may encompass details about terpenes, which are fragrant compounds influencing the product's aroma, flavor, and therapeutic characteristics.

      Beyond merely detailing ingredient concentrations, the COA plays a crucial role for consumers in assessing whether a product is devoid of harmful contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, molds, and bacteria.
