Full-spectrum CBD will contain a complete range of cannabinoids, THC, terpenes, flavonoids extracted from the cannabis plant. All these range of compounds will work synergistically for producing an entourage therapeutic effect.
At present, there is very limited research done on the various beneficial effects of this full-spectrum CBD over any other type and, hence it needs further investigation.
What is full-spectrum CBD?
When we say full-spectrum CBD then we refer to an extract having a complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, cannabidiol, fatty acids, and also trace amounts of THC extracted out of the cannabis plant.
Any full spectrum CBD oil may offer a very holistic approach to various benefits of cannabis plants. Commonly, to extract full-spectrum CBD, a low-temperature supercritical CO2 extraction method is used within a closed-loop extractor.
The CO₂ runs through the cannabis plant and then extracts cannabinoids and a few other bioactive components that are left at the chamber’s bottom.
This extract will then be refined and purified for removing the entire unwanted lipids, solvents, chlorophyll, retaining a full range of compounds of cannabis.
What are the various benefits of full-spectrum CBD?
Enough research is yet to be done on this, however, the preliminary studies are suggesting that full spectrum CBD can help in reducing joint pain, inflammation, muscle soreness, and also recovery.
There are 100+ compounds that are known as cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, and one being, of course, cannabidiol (CBD). A few other common cannabinoids that you may also come across are as follows:
- Cannabicromene (CBC): This has got anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-depressant, and anti-cancer properties.
- Cannabigerol (CBG): Anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-fungal properties. So far CBG has shown positive effects for glaucoma, cancer, inflammation, and skin diseases.
- Cannabidivarin (CBDV): Anti-convulsion, anti-nausea, and anti-inflammatory properties, and also its impact on mood disorders and pain. It is particularly effective to provide symptom relief for HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s, and MS.
- Cannabinol (CBN): Offers sedative effect, along with anti-inflammatory and anti-convulsant properties
As we have mentioned before, the major advantage of full-spectrum CBD oil will be the positive effect when the entire compounds will work in unison.
Also, full-spectrum CBD contains essential fats, vitamins, and protein. You can find vitamins A, B, C, and E, in abundance in CBD, and also up to 20 other amino acids along with essential fatty acids, such as Omega 3 and Omega 6.
All these amino acids can speed up your body’s capability to make protein, which can improve recovery time, and also the fatty acids that are great for our heart health.
Also, full-spectrum CBD may be able to produce an entourage effect. It may occur when the active component will work together in synergy, then it will interact with our endocannabinoid system and can potentially amplify our health benefits.
Will full-spectrum CBD oil make us high?
If CBD products are taken at the most commonly suggested dosage then there is practically no chance to make you “high.” Since full-spectrum CBD oil may contain a very low concentration of THC, hence the risk of any kind of intoxication is not at all present.
