Full Spectrum & The Entourage Effect
Full spectrum hemp and CBD are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different.
While CBD isolate contains no additional cannabis plant compounds, full-spectrum contains all the naturally occurring cannabis plant compounds, including CBD,CBDA,CBN,CBC, terpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols and more.
Full spectrum hemp oil products are made by infusing and cold pressing hemp plants that have been grown under license. Our THC tested levels have always been well under the legal limit of 0.3%. This combination is believed to produce an "entourage effect," where the different compounds work together to enhance the overall benefits.​​
CBD, on the other hand, is a single compound that is extracted from the hemp plant and in doing so destoys all the other compounds found in the plant. While full spectrum hemp oil products contain CBD, they also contain a range of other beneficial compounds that are not found in CBD isolate products.
​
CBD as an isolate is only found through the medical industry - something we make no claim of being in or producing, and never will.
Entourage Effect
The entourage effect is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs when various compounds in the Hemp cannabis plant work together to achieve an effect that would be impossible for them to achieve on their own. CBD is an isolate.
​
This theoretic principle suggests that cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, Polyphenols, healthy fats, proteins, and more work together to create a whole-body experience.
​
Cannabinoids, for example, are known for their therapeutic effects, but when combined with terpenes, they can enhance those effects. Terpenes are responsible for the plant's aroma and flavour, and they can also have therapeutic benefits. Flavonoids are known for their antioxidant properties, and Polyphenols are believed to have anti-inflammatory effects.
Terpenes
Terpenes, the natural compounds found in full spectrum hemp, are gaining popularity due to their many benefits. These compounds are responsible for the unique smell and flavor of the hemp plant, and have been found to have a variety of health benefits. Studies have shown that terpenes have anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant properties. They can also help to reduce stress and improve sleep quality. Furthermore, terpenes have been found to have the potential to boost the immune system.
​
In full spectrum hemp, terpenes work together with other components, such as cannabinoids, to create a synergistic effect that can be beneficial for overall health and wellbeing. The combination of terpenes and cannabinoids has been found to have a greater therapeutic effect than either compound alone. This is known as the entourage effect, and it is one of the reasons why full spectrum hemp is becoming increasingly popular among those looking for natural remedies for various health conditions.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids, which are plant-based antioxidants, are found in full spectrum hemp and have been found to provide numerous health benefits. Research has shown that flavonoids found in full spectrum hemp can help reduce inflammation.
​
Inflammation is a common problem that can lead to various health issues. The Flavonoids found in full spectrum hemp have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body. In addition, flavonoids in full spectrum hemp have been found to improve blood flow.
​
With such impressive health benefits, it is no wonder that full spectrum hemp is gaining popularity as a natural health supplement.
Polyphenols
Polyphenols are a group of compounds that are found in hemp and have been shown to possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties make them a valuable tool in protecting the body from oxidative stress and reducing inflammation, which in turn can lower the risk of chronic diseases. In addition to these benefits, polyphenols have been found to improve digestion and boost the immune system.
​
Studies have shown that polyphenols can help to protect the body from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells. In addition, polyphenols have been found to reduce inflammation throughout the body, which can also help to lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Polyphenols have also been found to have a positive effect on digestion. They can help to improve the absorption of nutrients from food, which can lead to better overall health (depending on diet ). Additionally, polyphenols have been found to boost the immune system, which can help to protect against infections and other illnesses.
