CBD Brothers Purple Edition Plus is a 4% CBD extracted from outdoor grown, Indica-dominant hybrid hemp plants.
This innovative approach to CBD combines The CBD Brothers 16.4% whole-plant CBD extract with a water-soluble carrier. The result is a 4% CBD/CBDa concentration that can be easily added to food or drink and placed straight under your tongue with no oily texture. The 10ml bottle contains 400mg of CBD and CBDa extract blended with:
Each 10ml bottle comes with a pump that can deliver 8mg of CBD/CBDa in 0.2ml of liquid. The pump provides each measure in one smooth action and stops you from having to count out drops. The CBDa present in the extract is the acidic precursor to CBD and can also be found in raw hemp flowers.
Water soluble CBD is a recently developed method of mixing CBD extract into water. Cannabinoids are usually fat-soluble, with molecules that dissolve easily into fatty substances like oils. To make them water soluble, manufacturers use emulsifiers or soundwaves to break them apart into microscopic nanoparticles.
Once in these tiny pieces, water molecules can fit between them, allowing them to dissolve in water effectively. The water-soluble CBD can then pass straight across your gut wall into your blood without needing to be first digested by bile and pancreatic juices.
Next, it passes through your liver where some of the molecules are broken down. Although this does reduce the concentration of the cannabinoids, it’s less than with oils, because it was able to pass straight into your blood.
This type of CBD can be used in water-based products like foods and drinks without the need for a carrier oil. Because the finished product is thinner than most oils, it is ideal for use in sprays or pumps. It's also likely that water soluble CBD increases the amount of the active ingredient to reach your blood, but, as yet, there is no conclusive research to suggest by how much.
To make the extract, The CBD Brothers use only the buds and flowers of organically grown, hybrid hemp plants. The term ‘hybrid’ indicates that the Purple Edition has the characteristics of both Indica and Sativa hemp varieties. Different types of hemp have different combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes. This particular hybrid is Indica-dominant: approximately Indica 70% / Sativa 30%.
The full-spectrum paste which adds the active ingredients to the liquid also contains other cannabinoids alongside CBD and CBDa. This combination of natural plant chemicals and nutrients allows contributes to what is known as the entourage effect.
The cannabinoids detected in the lab analysis include:
The Purple Plus Edition also contains trace amounts of:

Known as the oldest producer of cannabis extracts in the UK, the CBD Brothers (aka The Original Alternative), started life in a small one-car garage. Initially, they aimed to create small amounts of oils and lotions for use by their family and neighbours. As their products became popular, they found that they needed more space. Now they are located in a purpose-built, off-grid facility in Suffolk.
They are unique in that you can choose CBD products made with Indica, Sativa or hybrid hemp varieties. Each has a different balance of cannabinoids and terpenes, giving you a greater choice over composition.
Their hemp is grown organically on small farms in Guernsey with no pesticides or artificial fertilisers. Plants grown to produce the Silver, White, Red and Black Editions are grown under lights, and those that go into the Green, Blue and Purple Editions are grown outside in the sunlight until they are ready to be handpicked and dried. The Gold Edition is grown in their Guernsey greenhouse.
To ensure they only produce products of the highest quality, CBD Brothers uses CO2 extraction under low heat and low-pressure conditions. The resulting extracts contain a rich mix of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and essential fatty acids.
They are the first to admit that the nature of natural extracts means there may be slight differences from batch to batch, but with the use of third-party lab testing, they maintain impressive standards. The analysis is administered by two independent companies who use state of the art high pressured liquid chromatography (HPLC) machines to detect the contents of each sample.
As of 2022, CBD Brothers have an active Novel Foods application with the Food Standards Agency. This ensures that their supplements can remain on sale legally in the UK.

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
Super fast delivery. This was my first ever CBD product purchased, the taste is a little bold but you do get used to it. The bottle leaks if you lie it down so ensure it is stored standing up. Overall it’s made a big difference in pain management and moods. I’ve already purchased a stronger dose of oil so I can increase over time.
Dear Sasha, thank you very much for your review. We advice people that once opened, bottles need to be kept in an upright position to avoid leakage. I would suggest taking your daily dose in the morning and in the evening (before breakfast and before dinner). Because CBD is fat soluble, taking your dose with a meal increases its absorption and this way, also, the 'hempy' taste won't linger. If you would like to try a stronger product in the future, I would recommend our 10% oil by CBD Ultra. Best wishes from for the Ageless team
