Broad spectrum CBD oil is the perfect middle ground between full spectrum and isolate. It retains the hemp's secondary cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, and with them a good part of the entourage effect, but completely removes the THC during the refining process.
It is, in essence, an extract almost as complete as full spectrum but with no THC at all. That is why it is described as the best of both worlds: the richness of the plant with the peace of mind of 0% THC.
How broad spectrum is obtained
Broad spectrum starts from a full spectrum extract that undergoes an additional refining process whose sole purpose is to remove the THC while preserving the rest of the compounds. It is a delicate balance: removing the THC without taking with it the other cannabinoids and terpenes that add value to the extract. The result is an oil rich in hemp compounds but with undetectable THC.
Characteristics of broad spectrum
Partial entourage effect
By keeping several cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN…) and the hemp terpenes, broad spectrum retains a partial entourage effect: the plant's synergy is still present, even without the contribution of THC. It sits between the full entourage effect of full spectrum and its complete absence in the isolate.
Zero THC
The key difference from full spectrum is that broad spectrum removes the THC completely, leaving it undetectable. It is the choice of anyone who wants to enjoy the richness of hemp with the absolute certainty of not ingesting THC.
A balanced profile
It retains a more pronounced aroma than the isolate, thanks to the presence of terpenes, but without the trace of THC found in full spectrum. It thus offers a balance between richness of compounds and a total absence of THC.
Broad spectrum versus full spectrum and isolate
The three differ in their composition. Full spectrum keeps everything, including legal traces of THC, with the maximum entourage effect. Broad spectrum keeps the cannabinoids and terpenes but without THC, with a partial entourage effect. Isolate is pure CBD, with no entourage effect. Broad spectrum is the middle option par excellence.
Who is broad spectrum for?
Ideal for anyone who wants the plant's entourage effect but prefers to avoid THC completely. Compare it with full spectrum (whole plant, with legal traces of THC) and with isolate (pure CBD, no entourage effect) to choose the one that suits you best.
