What is broad spectrum CBD oil?
Broad Spectrum CBD (cannabidiol) oil is a CBD extract that is derived from the hemp plant. It contains all of the compounds found in hemp, including cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, essential oils, and trace amounts of THC. CBD oil is usually combined with a carrier oil such as coconut or hemp seed oil, which helps with bioavailability and absorption. Like all CBD products, CBD oil works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a network of neurotransmitters and receptors that may be involved in regulating a number of physiological and cognitive functions in the body.
Broad Spectrum means that there are small amounts of a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial plant compounds, excluding THC. This ensures users can experience the entourage effect without the psychoactive effects of THC. Ideal for those seeking the benefits of CBD while avoiding THC.
How is broad spectrum CBD oil different from CBD isolate?
Broad spectrum CBD oil contains multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial plant compounds found in hemp, but with 0% THC. This allows users to experience the entourage effect, where these compounds work together to enhance potential benefits. In contrast, CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD, containing 99%+ cannabidiol with no other cannabinoids or terpenes. While both options are THC-free, broad spectrum CBD provides a more well-rounded hemp experience, while CBD isolate is ideal for those seeking only pure CBD without any additional plant compounds.
How is broad spectrum CBD oil different from other CBD products (gummies, topicals, etc)?
Broad spectrum CBD can be found in a variety of products, from CBD oil tinctures to edibles such as CBD gummies and topicals such as CBD salves and creams. One major difference between full spectrum CBD oil and these other products is that CBD oil typically has a higher bioavailability rate. When used sublingually as a tincture, blood vessels in the tongue absorb CBD more quickly and in higher quantities compared to edibles and topicals. Another difference lies in the dosage amount; while edibles such as gummies and CBD capsules offer a consistent, precise dosage, full spectrum CBD oil administered with a dropper can be more difficult to measure.
How is full spectrum CBD oil different from broad spectrum CBD oil?
The primary difference between full spectrum CBD oil and broad spectrum CBD oil is the presence of THC. While full spectrum CBD oil contains trace amounts of THC, broad spectrum CBD oil is THC-free, making it a good option for users who don’t want any amount of THC in their CBD oil. The elimination of THC in broad spectrum oil is achieved through a process called chromatography.
