CBD OIL VS FULL SPECTRUM HEMP OIL

CBD has become a popular supplement option for many, offering more choice than is ordinarily possible when taking supplements.

Many people are not aware of is that there is another choice when shopping for CBD oils. There is an opportunity to choose between a CBD-only ('isolate') oil and full-spectrum hemp oils (which contain CBD and hundreds of other Active Botanical Compounds). The difference between CBD isolates and full spectrum is one of the most important areas of understanding that you need to get the best outcome for yourself, your loved ones and your pets. It is the area most often misunderstand.

CBD isolate oils are made by extracting CBD from either hemp or marijuana plants.

Countries place a limit on the amount of THC that can exist in CBD oil. In Australia, for example, CBD oils cannot contain more than 0.3% THC and probably soon no more than 50mg/kg of CBD.

The way in which CBD is extracted and the filtration methods that are used to create CBD oils vary. This variation will determine whether an oil contains the full spectrum of benefits the plant offers or just the benefit of CBD.

What Is Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil?

Full-spectrum oil contains not only CBD (cannabidiol), but also all the other cannabinoids that naturally occur within hemp plants. By using full-spectrum Hemp oil, you can benefit from a range of different cannabinoids. The oil also contains naturally occurring terpenes, essential oils, and flavonoids from within the plant.

Hemp plants contain hundreds of different cannabinoids, including the two most well-known: CBD and THC. Additionally, there are plenty of lesser-known cannabinoids such as CBDa, CBC, and CBG. All the different cannabinoids found within full-spectrum oil help to improve the effectiveness of Hemp. They also have their own health benefits.

Full-spectrum oils are preferred by many as they are thought to pack even more health benefits than CBD isolate oils. Full-spectrum Hemp oil allows you to take advantage of the entourage effect. Whereby all the different cannabinoids from within the plant work in synergy to enhance their impact. 

How Do You Make Full Spectrum Hemp Oil?

To create a full-spectrum hemp oil, CBD IS NOT extracted from the hemp plants, in fact nothing is extracted. Instead, the plant undergoes an infusion process to allow the natural transfer of all the active botanical goodness from the plant into the oil. 

What About Getting High?

Whilst Infusion doesn't remove any THC present, the natural levels are of THC are legal and don't cause a 'high' (less than 0.2-0.3%).

Which way forward?

CBD isolate requires a much more intensive filtration process. This is because all cannabinoids, other than CBD, need to be removed.

Some people believe full-spectrum Hemp oils to be more natural than CBD isolate, as they retain most of the compounds from within the plant, and therefore a much healthier option.

Buying Australian grown and made Full Spectrum Hemp Oil with no added chemicals or toxins is the best for both you or your pet.

Don’t forget that with Full spectrum hemp you have the advantage of the Entourage Effect.
