One of the reasons why cannabinoid (CBD) is the most sought-after is because of their illimitable benefits. It can be used to treat cancer, and depression, boost moods, and skin conditions, and more.
In this article, we will uncover the different types of CBD products. Without further ado, let’s get started.
Full-Spectrum Cannabidiol (CBD)
The full-Spectrum CBD is extracted from hemp containing cannabidiol (CBD) and other components that are naturally present in the hemp plant such as terpenes, fatty acids, flavonoids, essential oils, and a small percentage of THC.
All these compounds can work synergistically to bring about the entourage effects which enhance the therapeutic benefits of CBD. One of the benefits of full-spectrum cannabidiol is that the chemical compounds and cannabinoids present have healing components.
Furthermore, a study suggested that CBD oil that has a full-plant extract tends to have higher medicinal properties than only CBD.
Broad-Spectrum Cannabidiol (CBD)
Broad-Spectrum CBD is also extracted from hemp like the full-spectrum CBD. The only difference is that it went through an additional extraction process to eliminate all the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) present — leaving the remaining compound naturally present in the hemp intact.
However, there have been cases of broad-spectrum cannabidiol with traces of THC. To sum it up, CBD has less than 0.3 THC which is considered nearly THC-free.
It’s hard to come by, unlike other kinds of CBD oil. The broad spectrum goes through the normal extraction process. CBD is beneficial in states where the possession of THC is considered illegal.
Cannabidiol (CBD) Isolate
Cannabidiol (CBD) isolate is the purest form of CBD that does not contain healthy fatty acids, terpenes, and other compounds from the hemp plant. The contains 0% THC.
A lot of companies sell CBD isolate as powder or crystal. But it can also be found as oil.
CBD undergoes the same process as other oils. The only difference is that when the cannabidiol is extracted, the CBD is filtered out. It goes through a chilling process that removes all other chemical compounds. The process is also known as winterization.
When it’s in crystal or powder form, the CBD isolate is usually used for vaping and it’s administered on the tongue. One of the perks of CBD is that they are cheap and does not have THC.
Conclusion
In this read, we’ve learned different kinds of CBD extraction processes. The fact that the Broad-Spectrum CBD is THC-free makes it safe to posses in states where cannabis is still considered illegal.
