Cannabis and hemp are relatively benign non-toxic herbs.https://www.medicinalgenomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bergamaschi_2011.pdfIn the 1970s, human studies showed that inhalation of 0.15mg/kg of body weight OR Oral CBD intake from 15 to 160mg/kg of body weight OR intravenous injection from 5 to 30mg/kg of body weight were not followed by ill effects.

What is my endocannabinoid system?
The endogenous cannabinoid system, named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.

CBD ISOLATE VS FULL SPECTRUM CBD

What’s the difference between CBD isolate and full spectrum CBD?
Due to its non-psychoactive healing properties, cannabidiol (CBD) has become a very popular option for people seeking a natural alternative to supplement their endocannabinoid system. For CBD consumers, there is a choice between using products made from CBD isolate or full spectrum CBD.

So, what is the difference between the two?
Full spectrum or whole plant CBD means the CBD contains all other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant including CBDa (Cannabidiolic Acid), CBC (Cannabichromene ), CBN(Cannabinol), CBG (Cannabigerol) and THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin), to name a few. Along with these cannabinoids, full spectrum CBD also contains controlled trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in very low concentrations (up to 0.2%), resulting in very minimal psychoactive stimulation.

CBD isolate, on the other hand, is purified CBD separated and isolated from the other natural cannabinoids plant and isolated from the other cannabinoids.|

CBD VS FULL SPECTRUM CBD: WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE?

It was previously believed CBD isolate was more potent and concentrated than full spectrum CBD; however, in 2015, this was debunked by a study from the Lautenberg Center for General Tumor Immunology in Jerusalem. In the study, researchers administered full spectrum CBD and CBD isolate to two different groups of mice. When comparing the data of the two groups, the results proved that the group administered with full spectrum CBD were provided with higher levels of relief. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that full spectrum CBD continued to provide relief as the dose increased, while CBD Isolate did not provide the same effect when there was an increase in dosage.

While full spectrum CBD has ultimately proven more effective than CBD Isolate, CBD isolate still has its place on the market. There are a wide variety of situations when CBD isolate may be preferred over Full Spectrum CBD. For example, CBD isolate is tasteless, odourless and guaranteed free of THC. Or you may not need the other naturally occurring cannabinoids in full spectrum CBD. It is also important to note that other cannabinoids may have different reactions to isolated CBD. It’s important customers understand the characteristics of each cannabinoid and the best profile for their dietary requirements.

As researchers continue to study cannabis, we will learn more and more about these amazing cannabinoids and what they can do for us.
