Compare Full Spectrum CBD With Broad Spectrum CBD
Which type of CBD is right for you? This is a tricky question and very difficult to answer. It really depends on what you are looking for. Whether you want just CBD and no other components from the cannabis plant or you may appreciate all the chemical compounds or cannabinoids, but you may also want all cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBN and all the terpenes but no THC. The choice is yours really. Some may be reserved about THC as THC has psychoactive effects and THC in CBD products may appear in drug tests while some will require the benefits of THC.
It be is believed that full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD will provide an entourage effect. Entourage Effect is the theory when the full spectrum of cannabis plants works best together. Which means that all the cannabinoids (CBD, d9-THC, CBG, CBC, CBN, CBDA, THCV, CBD, CBGA, d8-THC and THCA) will work together to create the most beneficial effect for your body.
Broad spectrum and Full spectrum CBD are very much alike, apart from the fact that full spectrum includes THC too as THC with its psychoactive properties will merge with pain-relieving and medicinal healing properties from the terpenes and cannabinoids. Researchers have pointed out that full spectrum may have the greatest entourage effect out of the three types of CBD. More research is definitely needed to understand the full potential benefits of CBD.
