As the CBD Oil industry continues to grow, education and transparency remain at the forefront of needs. This piece in the Brand Spotlight and Interview Series is with Receptra Naturals CEO Jim Scott. The goal of this series is to shine a spotlight on great brands that are doing things right along with the people behind them.

CBD Oil Solutions: Jim, we appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule to chat with us and answer these questions. People love insight into their favorite brands. To get started, can you tell us a bit about the Receptra brand and what you guys do?

Jim Scott: Receptra Naturals produces pure premium, organic, full-spectrum CBD-rich hemp extracts and topicals focused on health, wellness and promoting an active lifestyle. We have an appreciation for sustainability and source all of our hemp from local family-owned farms in Colorado.

CBDOS: We love to hear about family-owned farms and supporting the local market. Can you tell us a bit more about what it is that makes Receptra products different or unique from others on the market?

JS: Receptra is one of only a few companies with a product line specifically developed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Our Active Lifestyle line of products features a Targeted Topical and three hemp extracts: Active, Elite, and Pro – each with a different strength and a unique, proprietary blend of several essential fatty acids including MCT, Grapeseed and Avocado oils, the medicinal herb Turmeric, and Receptra’s premium hemp extract.

Since the company launched in 2016, several former professional athletes from the NFL, NHL and UFC started using Receptra. Many of our athlete ambassadors report using our products to help reduce recovery time, improve focus, increase energy levels, and restore homeostasis in the body. One of our earliest supporters is Bas Rutten, former UFC heavyweight champion and a member of the UFC Hall of Fame. Bas was really the first to prove our concept that there was a market for CBD within the sports / active lifestyle community. His support helped skyrocket demand for the product from fitness enthusiasts and athletes of all levels.

CBDOS: Thank you for that awesome insight, Jim! Who better to explain what makes Receptra special than the CEO himself. Big fans of Bas Rutten here too! With such a strong foundation in place, what does Receptra have planned for 2018 and the years ahead?

JS: We are a team of ambitious, health conscious individuals and we’re always looking to stay at the forefront of this exploding industry. Our goal is to continue to educate and enlighten the public about the myriad benefits of CBD. We will have several new products coming down the pipeline in 2018, each of which will be tailored to the needs of our community. We’re also planning to launch Receptra Gives, a philanthropic program designed to offer additional support to those who need it most.

CBDOS: Nothing better than giving back. Let us know when Receptra Gives launches and we will do all we can to support you guys! Is there a specific moment or story from your journey with the brand that you feel was a turning point, or a moment where your resilience shined through?

JS: Early on in the company’s existence is when we were introduced to UFC Hall of Fame member Bas Rutten. At the time Bas had recently overcome an addiction to opioids and was still managing some of the injuries he suffered while competing in the UFC. We sent him a bottle of Receptra Pro and almost immediately he could feel an improvement in the way he felt. Within days of starting the product, Bas informed us that Receptra had “changed his life”. He offered to help us spread the word about the benefits of Receptra’s CBD and helped us create the largest MMA sponsorship program in the cannabis industry.

Since that first “wow” moment when we recognized the impact Receptra had on a world-class athlete, the idea that we were really improving the quality of life for our customers became a driving force for us.

CBDOS: Really incredible stuff. Stories and testimonials from people who have had that life changing affect are what drive us here too. When it’s all said and done, how do you want Receptra to be remembered?

JS: When all is said and done, we want Receptra remembered as a World Class company that improved the quality of life of our customers with transparency, integrity and passion. We want our legacy to be that we separated ourselves from the pack because we cared more about the quality and efficacy of our products, worked harder and smarter to share these products with the world and always made decisions that were in the best interest of our community.

On behalf of all of us here at CBD Oil Solutions we would like to thank Jim for both his time with this interview as well as his dedication to helping others.
