Herb’s Guide To Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

Here’s everything you need to know about making the right CBD oil choice for you.

CBD is taking the world by storm.

It’s able to help a variety of diverse issues, from pain and inflammation to depression, anxiety, and sleep.

But with so many CBD products out there, like full-spectrum CBD versus CBD isolate, how do you choose?

We created this guide to help you navigate through the world of CBD and the many wonders of full-spectrum CBD oil. Keep reading to see how this marvelous extract can benefit you.

What Is Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?

When shopping for CBD oil, you’ll likely come across these three terms;

  • Full-spectrum CBD
  • Broad-spectrum CBD
  • CBD isolate

The difference? CBD isolate products will only contain CBD, one of over 400 cannabis or hemp plant compounds.

When making CBD isolates, companies only extract CBD from the cannabis or hemp matter and discard the rest of the plant, including other cannabinoids and terpenes.

Broad-spectrum CBD maintains those beneficial minor cannabinoids and terpenes but does not contain any traces of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC.

Finally, Full-spectrum CBD oils are made using the whole plant. This means all the cannabinoids, terpenes, and THC will be present in the oil.

The THC content in full-spectrum CBD oil will not surpass 0.3% per the United States’ 2018 Farm Bill.

If Full-Spectrum Does The Job, Why Are There Other Oils?

Now that you understand the benefits of full-spectrum oil, you might ask why companies are producing broad-spectrum and CBD isolate oils.

For starters, there’s still a stigma around cannabis. People who aren’t so familiar with the plant may not want to come close to anything psychoactive, meaning THC.

Similarly, they may also feel uncomfortable ingesting other plant properties like cannabinoids and terpenes.

Because CBD has become incredibly popular in the medical community, it’s also becoming less stigmatized. This means medical patients and recreational consumers may want to try this non-psychoactive compound for its health benefits.

There are still benefits to dosing CBD isolate, but the entourage effect of full-spectrum oils will enhance those benefits tenfold. However, if someone new to CBD realizes that full-spectrum contains THC, they may want nothing to do with it.

Although full-spectrum will not get you high since it only contains traces of THC, some individuals are uncomfortable ingesting any amount of this cannabinoid.

Again, it does not produce a high, and we highly recommend looking into the entourage effect produced by these beneficial oils.
