Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and CBD Isolate. What's the difference?Updated 10 months ago
Full spectrum, or “whole plant extract”, consists of cannabidiol (CBD) and its accompanying phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. The synergistic relationship between these natural compounds creates an “entourage effect”, magnifying the natural benefits of the plant.
Broad spectrum CBD has a full spectrum profile but the THC is removed. In a broad spectrum product, multiple phytocannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids are preserved; therefore, it can still deliver the enhanced benefits of the “entourage effect”.
CBD isolate is exactly what it sounds like – the isolated form of the cannabinoid. During the extraction process, all other plant compounds, including phytocannabinoids like THC, terpenes and flavonoids are removed.
