The different forms of CBD oil

What are the different forms of CBD oil?

CBD Full Spectrum :

Full Spectrum CBD products contain all the natural chemicals found in the hemp plant, including the many types of cannabinoids and terpenes described above. Each plant has a different combination, which in turn has a unique surrounding effect.

The ingredients in full spectrum CBD can include essential vitamins and minerals, plant-based protein fibres, beneficial fatty acids, chlorophyll, terpenes and flavonoids. In order to consume a quality product, it is important to ensure that your full spectrum CBD oil is tested by a laboratory that properly indicates what the oil contains.

CBD Isolate:

As you read in the introduction, isolate is a pure CBD product. It is made by extracting the CBD molecule from the plant and leaving all other ingredients at the door. The isolate is essentially pure CBD at 99%, which contains no beneficial terpenes or flavonoids to encourage the entourage effect. This is why CBD isolates tend to cost less than full-spectrum CBD or broad-spectrum CBD products.

CBD Broad Spectrum :

There's also another important CBD oil to know about: broad spectrum CBD oil. Broad spectrum CBD contains CBD as well as other natural compounds found in the plant, just like full spectrum CBD. The difference between the two products is that Broad Spectrum CBD contains no THC (a psychoactive cannabinoid) at all, which is completely eliminated during the extraction process. Because broad-spectrum CBD contains different cannabinoids apart from THC, it can still produce the entourage effect. As it contains no THC, it is legal to sell in France and there is no risk of any traces of THC being found after you have consumed it.

Which CBD oil is right for you?

Determining which CBD product is right for you depends on your personal preferences and needs. CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD you can consume while full spectrum CBD contains all the natural and beneficial cannabinoids of the hemp plant. Full spectrum CBD promotes the entourage effect, which encourages the invigorating potential of cannabinoids. CBD isolate does not, but its effect is considered more potent for occasional consumption.

Again, it all depends on what you are looking for! More advanced CBD users find that CBD isolate offers limited therapeutic effects. But if you're just starting out, it can be a subtle introduction. Indeed, Full Spectrum CBD can be a little too strong in substance. We recommend moderation and a step-by-step introduction!

When choosing your CBD oil, first make sure that the product has been tested by a laboratory and has a valid certificate of analysis. This will give you a better chance of knowing how much your products contain.

The CA or CdA is a certificate of analysis that includes a phytocannabinoid profile listing the levels of CBD, THC and other cannabinoids, as well as the terpenes making up the product. It is the most important tool for determining the quality and purity of a CBD product.
