What does Broad Spectrum CBD mean?

When it comes to CBD, there are three different cannabinoid spectrum options. Broad spectrum falls between full spectrum and CBD isolate. Broad-spectrum contains CBD and all the other compounds within the plant, except for THC, which is completely removed in the extraction process. Other cannabinoids are present in broad spectrum, providing a version of the “entourage effect” but without THC. The entourage effect refers to the synergy achieved by all the components in the hemp plant. These components work together to enhance it’s benefits.

Benefits of Broad Spectrum CBD

The benefits of broad spectrum CBD are numerous. For starters, since broad spectrum products contain non-detectable levels of THC, they’re a good option for folks who want to avoid THC entirely.
