WHAT IS CBD?

CBD or Cannabidiol is one of the naturally-occurring compounds found in the Cannabis Sativa L. plant. There are over 100 compounds, which are referred to as cannabinoids; the two most popular being CBD and THC(delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). CBD is the most prevalent compound in the plant and, unlike THC, doesn’t give you the intoxicating or “high” feeling people often refer to.  All CBD is derived through an extraction process and should contain less than 0.03 percent THC in order to be consider hemp and legal under the U.S. 2018 Farm Bill. 

WHICH "TYPE" OF CBD DO I CHOOSE?

CBD is extracted from the Cannabis Sativa L plant leaving three different “types” for individuals to choose:  full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate. Which one you choose depends on your goals. In each product description, we’ve identified which “type” of CBD is the basis of the product. 

Full Spectrum – is the combination of all present cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. This includes the legal limit of 0.03 percent of THC.  Research shows the benefit of full spectrum over CBD isolate, the purer form of CBD.

Broad Spectrum – offers the benefit of full spectrum, without the presence of THC or intoxicating effects of it may cause.   Broad Spectrum products, specifically oils, contain the all the cannabinoids, excluding the trace amounts of the CBD.  Additionally, users will benefit from the presence of terpenes and other natural compounds like flavonoids. If you’re wanting a THC alternative, Broad Spectrum might be a good option for you.

Isolate – is the purest of all the types and by definition contains 99.96% of CBD and is free of any other cannabinoids, terpenes or flavonoids.  Moreover, there aren’t any trace amounts of THC in a CBD Isolate.

THE BENEFITS OF TAKING CBD

The U.S. 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp in all 50 states, which opened up the ability for CBD research. While the research has begun and is ongoing regarding the benefits of CBD, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibits claims regarding CBD and its ability to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. We encourage you to perform your own research regarding CBD.   What you’ll find is CBD supports our Endocannabinoid System (ECS).  This system is responsible for keeping our body in homeostasis and help regulate things temperature; hormones; heart rate; mood; sleep and inflammation - to name a few.  Maintaining this “homeostasis” is important for long- term health.
