Full-Spectrum vs Broad-Spectrum: Whats the Difference?
When shopping for CBD, youll see three main types of extract: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate.
Full-spectrum CBD contains all the compounds found in the hemp plant, including trace amounts of THC (under 0.3%). Many people prefer full-spectrum because of the entourage effect — the idea that all these compounds work better together.
Broad-spectrum CBD also contains multiple hemp compounds, but with the THC completely removed. This is a great option if you want the benefits of multiple cannabinoids without any THC.
CBD isolate is pure CBD with nothing else. Its the most refined form and is a good starting point for people who are new to CBD.
