The cannabis plant (including the hemp variety) includes over 700 compounds. Full- spectrum means the product contains all of the various compounds extracted from the original hemp plant including cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, which contributes to the entourage effect. Utilizing the entourage effect tends to provide the patient with the best chance of success. When the product has many compounds but not all of what was found in the original strain (including free of THC) then it is referred to as broad spectrum product. CBD isolates are pharmaceutically purified CBD. CBD isolates have no entourage effect and typically require much higher dosages to see a similar benefit compared to full or broad-spectrum products.
