Why choose full-spectrum products?

Why choose full-spectrum products?

CBD products have finally caught the world’s attention. Numerous benefits have been identified in this natural molecule, including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antioxidant properties. As a result, more and more people are rushing to buy CBD oils. But have you ever noticed the word “spectrum” on the label? This is indeed an important piece of information to consider when assessing a product’s quality. You may not know what to look for to find the right CBD product for you. The key is to choose full-spectrum CBD, and we’ll explain why.

What is the spectrum of CBD products?

As you know, hemp contains many active compounds. These include cannabinoids, terpenes—which are responsible for its taste and aroma—and flavonoids. But how does the spectrum differ? It depends on whether or not all of these compounds are present in the CBD product. There are three types available on the market:

 

  • Full spectrum

A full-spectrum CBD product is one that contains all the active compounds found naturally in hemp. In other words, it contains all the cannabinoids, including THC, which allows for a true entourage effect.

 

  • Broad-spectrum

A CBD oil is said to be full-spectrum if it contains all of the active compounds found in hemp except for THC. If you’re very sensitive to this cannabinoid or are regularly tested, this is the perfect choice for you.

 

  • The Isolate

An oil is referred to as an “isolate” if it contains only cannabidiol and no other compounds derived from hemp.

What are the reasons for choosing full-spectrum CBD?

Full-spectrum CBD is the most potent form of the molecule. This means that the product is made from whole-plant hemp extracts containing all possible active compounds.

The Halo Effect

CBD has its own benefits, but studies have shown that the presence of other compounds in hemp enhances these positive effects. In a 1999 article, Shimon Ben-Shabat and Raphael Mechoulam presented their ideas on the interaction between cannabinoids and our endocannabinoid system. It has been scientifically proven that combinations of cannabinoids have a greater therapeutic effect than the individual substances.

In fact, in addition to cannabidiol, full-spectrum products also contain many other cannabinoids and compounds such as THC, CBG, CBDa, CBDv, and various flavonoids and terpenes. Full-spectrum products are more potent because all these elements combine to create what is known as the “entourage effect” and allow the body to absorb more CBD. This makes full-spectrum CBD oil one of the best options available.

Less processing

If you’re looking for something more natural, full-spectrum CBD is your best option. Isolates and broad-spectrum CBD, in particular, require additional processing to remove the extra (potentially beneficial) compounds found in cannabis plants. That’s why full-spectrum CBD is closest to the original profile and is often preferred by purists.

Does not produce a "high"

A common misconception about full-spectrum CBD is that it causes a “high” due to the presence of THC. Think again! Even though it contains trace amounts of THC, it does not produce psychoactive effects—provided the THC concentration is less than 0.3%. On the contrary, the presence of this molecule allows you to enjoy all the potential benefits of the cannabinoid profile without worrying about getting high. Its synergy with other cannabinoids and the active compounds in hemp makes the entourage effect even more powerful. In fact, the more potent the effect, the better the results. Many people report feeling calmer after consuming full-spectrum CBD products.

No Additional Effects Expected from the Combination of CBD and THC

Research into the many benefits of CBD in general is still ongoing. However, it has recently become a fascinating topic in modern science. As a result, research is still trying to keep up with this trend. That said, the most in-depth research has focused on the combined effects of CBD and THC. It has been shown that the combination of these two cannabinoids can relieve pain caused by neuropathy and chronic diseases (see here ).

Both are believed to protect against neuronal damage and stimulate the growth of new nerve cells. They have been shown to be effective in experimental models of Parkinson’s disease (in mice) and are thought to act independently of cannabinoid receptors through antioxidant mechanisms. Another study showed that full-spectrum CBD appears to have a calming effect on the central nervous system (CNS), with 66.7% of patients reporting improved sleep after taking it.

Ease of Access

Full-spectrum CBD is minimally processed and therefore easier to find on the market. This means that companies can use a more natural product that requires little effort. No complex chemical processes are needed to isolate the CBD. Full-spectrum products are the easiest to extract and are less expensive than highly processed products.

More flavors

Another benefit of full-spectrum CBD is the variety of flavors. The taste is even more pronounced than that of other types of CBD. In fact, it is the aromatic terpene molecules that give it a pleasant and subtle aroma compared to the others.

Double the wellness benefits

Although little research has been conducted so far, early studies suggest that full-spectrum CBD may be more effective at relieving everyday discomforts. In fact, the hemp plant contains more than 100 cannabinoids, each of which may contribute to improving our overall health and relieving chronic pain.

· Cannabichromene (CBC): anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, antifungal, and anticancer properties.

· Cannabidiovarine (CBDV): Antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-nausea properties, as well as effects on pain and mood disorders.

· Cannabigerol (CBG): anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antitumor properties. CBG has shown positive effects in the prevention of cancer, glaucoma, inflammation, and skin diseases.

· Cannabinol (CBN): Sedative, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

As mentioned above, the main benefit of full-spectrum CBD oil is said to be the positive effects that occur when all the ingredients work together. Not to mention that it also contains vitamins and amino acids. Amino acids accelerate protein synthesis in the body, which optimizes healing time and is beneficial for heart health.

Is full-spectrum CBD legal?

The answer is yes! You may be confused about the legality of full-spectrum CBD. As mentioned above, CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC are legal at the federal level in France. This is the legal limit. So, be sure to check the label before buying any.

So, if you want to maximize the benefits of CBD, check out our lineof full-spectrum CBD oils. To ensure we offer you high-quality products, our oils are made from organic hemp and are extracted using supercritical CO2 extraction, which eliminates any risk of contamination. This makes them a healthy and natural product for your body, allowing you to benefit from the entourage effect.


In short, full-spectrum CBD products are rich in natural compounds with beneficial properties, such as CBD, THC, and many others. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that they possess anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, there are many reasons why full-spectrum oils are superior to CBD extracts and broad-spectrum oils. First, they contain a greater variety of active compounds, which makes their effects even more beneficial when these compounds work synergistically. Finally, CBD loses its potency when isolated from other cannabinoids and terpenes.
