Welcome to the CBD components section, where we educate you on the essential components that make CBD products unique and beneficial. Understanding these key elements will help you make informed choices whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned CBD enthusiast.

Full Spectrum CBD

Full spectrum CBD is the whole plant extract that includes all the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds in hemp. It’s believed that these components work together, often referred to as the “entourage effect,” to enhance the plant’s therapeutic effects. Learn more about Full Spectrum CBD.

Broad Spectrum CBD

Broad spectrum CBD is similar to full spectrum but with one key difference: the THC is completely removed. This option is perfect for those who want to enjoy the benefits of the entourage effect without any THC in their system. Discover more about Broad Spectrum CBD.

CBD Isolate

For those seeking the purest form of CBD, isolate is the answer. It contains 99% pure CBD, with all other plant compounds removed. This option is best for individuals who need to avoid THC entirely or who are looking for a high dose of CBD. Find out more about CBD Isolate.

The Entourage Effect

The entourage effect is a concept suggesting that CBD works better when it’s taken alongside other cannabis plant compounds, rather than on its own. This synergy between cannabinoids and terpenes can enhance the therapeutic properties of your CBD products. Explore the Entourage Effect.

Terpenes

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including hemp. They contribute to the plant’s aroma and flavor and are thought to have therapeutic properties of their own. In CBD products, terpenes can work in harmony with cannabinoids to enhance the product’s effects. Learn about Terpenes.
