What is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of over 400 non-psychoactive ingredients in a cannabis or hemp plant — meaning it's not the part that gets people high.
What is CBD?
CBD works behind the scenes and with other parts of a cannabis plant that seem to have an effect on inflammation — the root cause of many pain symptoms — and mood, often the root cause of anxiety and sleep disorders.
While CBD in itself isn't psychoactive, it does interact by sending signals to systems in our bodies that are within and outside of the endocannabinoid system. Some people who ingest CBD describe a sense of well-being, calmness, and a "mellow" state.
What does CBD do?
CBD works by interacting with your endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoids influence your overall wellness in a variety of ways — medical studies have described the endocannabinoid system as a "master regulatory system."
The endocannabinoid system refers to a vast network of cannabinoid receptors that exist in your body. Different cannabinoids affect different types of receptors to produce different outcomes.
CBD can be taken in many ways. CBD oil is usually ingested sublingually (under the tongue) but can also be taken topically, orally, as a spray, in capsules, in food, and more.
What is "pure CBD" and what is "full spectrum"?
Full-Spectrum CBD (full-spectrum hemp) refers to oil extracted from the whole hemp plant that contains both CBD and other naturally occurring cannabinoids, usually with less than 0.3% THC. The combination of cannabinoids and terpenes creates what's known as the "entourage effect" — a synergistic benefit greater than any single compound alone.
CBD Isolate refers to pure CBD with no other cannabinoids or other parts of the plant. There is zero THC in any isolate-based product — ideal for those who need to avoid THC entirely.
Broad Spectrum CBD is a middle ground — whole-plant extract with all cannabinoids and terpenes except THC, which has been distilled out.
