What is CBD

WHAT ARE CANNABINOIDS?

  1. Full Spectrum
  2. Broad spectrum
  3. Isolate   

 

1. What is Full-Spectrum CBD?

If an extract is full-spectrum, this means it contains all phytochemicals naturally found in the plant, including CBD, trace cannabinoids, terpenes, aessential oils.and  omega-3,6 fatty acids, Full-spectrum extracts from hemp also come with a contains less than 

THC content below 0.2%

The full spectrum of the active compounds extracted from hemp work together to amplify the health benefits of each individual cannabinoid. This is referred to as the entourage effect

2. What is Broad Spectrum CBD?

Broad-spectrum CBD contains cannabidiol and all the other compounds within the plant, WITH OUT THC, which is completely removed after the initial extraction.

Because broad-spectrum extracts contain multiple cannabinoids, they also produce the “entourage effect,” but without the THC.

In a very simplified manner, broad-spectrum CBD is like a mix between                 Full-spectrum CBD and CBD isolate. It contains the entire spectrum of cannabinoids EXCEPT for the THC part.

 

3. What is CBD Isolate?

CBD isolate is the purest form of the CANNABINOID  compound, made by pulling it from its natural environment and removing it from all other ingredients Leaving it 99% pure CBD Isolates There’s no entourage effect, though — you can benefit solely from the effects of Pure CBD cannabidiol With no THC

The Entourage Effect Explained

Despite the complicated name, the entourage effect is fairly easy to understand. It refers to the synergy achieved by all the components in cannabis. These components work together to enhance the potential benefits of the plant. Each compound can amplify the therapeutic properties of the others while mitigating their potential side effects 

The additional cannabinoids in full-spectrum extracts include:

  • Cannabinol (CBN)
  • Cannabichromene (CBC)
  • Cannabigerol (CBG)
  • Cannabidiol acid (CBDA)
  • Cannabidivarin (CBDV)
  • Cannabichromenic (CBCA)
  • Cannabidivarinic (CBDVA)
  • Tetrahydrocannabinolic (THCA)
  • Cannabigerol (CBGA)
  • Cannabidivarin (CBDVA)
  • Cannabidiol (CBD)
  • Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCA)
  • Tetrahydrocannabinol (THCΔ⁹)

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is the most widespread system in the human body containing CB1 and CB2 receptors spread throughout our organs and organ systems. The ECS is a vital and important component of the central nervous system that plays a role in everything from cognitive processes and pain sensation to appetite regulation and physical activity.

CB1 receptors are found in the brain, mostly on the basal ganglia and limbic system. They help to influence memory, mood, fear, movement, and pain. They’re also found in the lungs, liver and reproductive glands.

CB2 receptors are found on immune cells as well as the spleen and they help to regulate immunity.

At CBDHS we believe that by introducing cannabinoids to  part of your daily diet will provide with you a range of different health benefits.
