CBD extracts
Full-spectrum CBD Oil
CBD refers to products that contain all the cannabinoids (including small amounts of THC), terpenes and flavonoids that occur naturally in the plant.
Broad-spectrum CBD Oil
This os very similar to full-spectrum because it contains all the whole-plant compounds, but without the THC . This makes it an excellent choice for people who still want all the benefits of full-spectrum, but without the risk of testing positive for THC.
Isolate CBD Oil
As the name suggests, isolate contains only CBD. During the extraction process all other cannabinoids, terpenes and plant compounds are removed to leave behind a white powder or crystals that is 99+% pure CBD. This is a good choice for people who are sensitive to other cannabinoids, or need precision dosages of CBD.
