When a product is described as “CBD isolate” it simply means that it only contains one cannabinoid, CBD. These products are usually very cheap and come in the form of crystals, syrups, capsules and even oils. It is important to know the difference between “CBD isolate” and “full-spectrum” products.

Full-spectrum products contain all the cannabinoids on the spectrum, and have more positive testimonials than CBD isolate products. This is largely attributed to the entourage effect. The entourage effect is the latest step in our understanding of the cannabis plant and how it works with our body. It explains how the body better absorbs and receives cannabinoids when they are all present together, as opposed to CBD isolate products.

Scientists are now looking into the synergistic effects of taking all cannabinoids together to satisfy the needs of users. The cannabis publication Leafly has put together a brilliant article highlighting some of the main cannabinoids often neglected. We believe they are the reason many of our customers have such positive effects from using full-spectrum products.

Perhaps some customers use CBD isolate products because they fear getting high from THC, however all our full-spectrum products have below 0.2% THC (the psychotoxic compound in the plant) and often show up as untraceable in lab tests. You will not get high from any of our products, no matter how much you consume.

CBD isolates are still great products, especially for those who have a tight budget. Some users are certain that CBD is the only cannabinoid they need based on their experience and can therefore rule out the need to use full-spectrum products. It is important to outline the distinction between these two products and why most people should begin with a full-spectrum product.
