What is Full Spectrum?
Full spectrum CBD makes use of all the phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and essential oils found inside the hemp plant. Even though CBD and THC are the most popular of all plant-based cannabinoids, hemp contains over 100 phytocannabinoids that can boost your health and wellness when working together instead of individually. When these different hemp elements are together, they enhance each other’s impact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The THC content of full spectrum CBD oil still remains minimal, meaning there isn’t enough per serving to cause intoxication or psychoactive effects. However, it does allow the THC to work synergistically with CBD and other cannabinoids, offering a whole-plant experience uniquely different from CBD isolates or broad spectrum CBD oils.
FAQs
What does full-spectrum CBD mean?
Full spectrum CBD is hemp extract that contains the full range of cannabinoids, and usually terpenes, in the hemp plant. If it’s called “full spectrum CBD” that normally means that CBD is the most abundant ingredient, but it has other cannabinoids as well, including THC.
Is full-spectrum the best CBD?
There isn’t any one form of CBD that’s best for everyone. Full spectrum maximizes the “entourage effect” of the beneficial parts of hemp acting together. But if you have a job that involves drug testing, you might prefer broad spectrum or CBD isolate.
What is full-spectrum CBD used for?
You can use full spectrum CBD for any of the same reasons people use CBD – maintaining calm, managing stress, recovering from a workout, getting good sleep, or various other reasons. See our Benefits of CBD page.
Can full-spectrum CBD show up on a drug test?
It might. Our full spectrum CBD contains only a tiny amount of THC, but a sensitive test might pick it up. If you’re concerned about that, try shopping our large selection of Superior Broad Spectrum CBD products, which contain no detectable levels of THC.
What is the difference between CBD oil and full spectrum CBD oil?
“CBD oil” could mean several different things, including full spectrum CBD oil. It could also mean the oil contains broad spectrum hemp extract or CBD isolate. That’s why you should look closely at the ingredients of any CBD oil you buy, and preferably look over the lab test results that the manufacturer should make available.
How does full spectrum CBD oil make you feel?
That depends on the individual, as well as on the exact makeup of the CBD oil. Most people find it to be calming and relaxing; some say it makes them sleepy, while others find it helps them stay focused. Our full spectrum products contain such a tiny amount of THC that it won’t make you feel high, though other full spectrum products may be different.
What is full spectrum good for?
Full spectrum is good for providing the full range of beneficial ingredients in the hemp plant. Many people find that CBD products do more for them when all of these components are together as nature intended. The specific benefits vary from person to person; see our Benefits of CBD page.
Does full spectrum CBD give you a high?
Ours does not, because we keep the THC within federal legal limits. Not all full spectrum products are the same, especially if you buy them in a state where marijuana is legal. That’s why it’s good to buy only from a trusted supplier that tells you exactly how much of each cannabinoid is in their extracts.
