The Benefits of Full-Spectrum Cannabis vs. Isolates

Cannabis products are available in full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate forms. Understanding these differences helps consumers choose the best option for their needs.

What is Full-Spectrum Cannabis?

• THC
• CBD
• Minor cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, THCV)
• Terpenes and flavonoids

Benefits of Full-Spectrum Products

• Entourage Effect – Cannabinoids and terpenes work together to enhance benefits.

What is CBD Isolate?

CBD isolate is pure CBD with no other cannabinoids or terpenes.

Benefits of CBD Isolate

• THC-free – Ideal for users who need to avoid psychoactive effects.
• Higher potency per dose – Pure CBD concentration.
