Full Spectrum means not only a blend of cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBDV, CBC, 0.3% THC) and terpenes but also an array of other beneficial nutrients from hemp, like amino acids and polyphenols.
Broad-spectrum CBD is nearly identical to full-spectrum CBD, but there is zero THC.
CBD isolate is 100% CBD – and nothing else.
Because full-spectrum CBD contains all cannabis plant compounds including THC, it may have a more potent effect than broad spectrum or pure CBD. Research suggests that CBD's health benefits may be more prominent when multiple compounds from the cannabis plant are present. This is what researchers call the 'entourage effect'. The term describes the synergy of consuming the entire nutrient profile of hemp simultaneously, which only true full spectrum products can offer.
Our pharmacists usually recommend Full Spectrum CBD. Broad Spectrum is considered if you need to stay away from THC for one reason or another.
They shy away from CBD isolates as it lacks the 'entourage effect'.
