All about Broad spectrum CBD 

Broad spectrum CBD is a product that doesn’t offer THC, but there are a ton of other great benefits in there including terpenes, flavonoids, other cannabinoids, and other parts of this, and it does create the entourage effect, but without using THC in the final products made. This is great for those who want to use this for therapeutic reasons that are similar to THC, or if you are trying to avoid it on drug tests but want to take something to help with problems. 

What is it exactly? 

This is basically an oil that contains most of the other material that’s in there, and also the other chemical profile you find in the hemp plant after it gets extracted. However, they further refine this to get rid of all of the psychoactive parts of this. 

This is typically done in one of the following ways: 

  • Solvent extraction 
  • Steam distillation 
  • CO2 extraction 
  • Lipid extraction

This takes the oils, making them less than .005% of the THC in this, so this offers not THC, but it offers the benefits of CBG, CBN, CBGA, flavonoids, and terpenes, and this offers the best health benefits together, and is much better than if they’re isolated, and being able to make this work in a synchronous manner is considered the entourage effect as well. 

When to use this 

You’ll want to use this if you want to get the benefits of CBD while also not worrying about failing a drug test. This has trace amounts of it, but it’s so small it won’t be indicated on tests, so it’s perfect for people like that. Not just that, this is also good for those who have a sensitivity to THC, abut still wants the benefits of CBD from the cannabis plant. 

How it Works 

This works in virtually the same way that the other cannabis products that are out there work.  It does work with manipulating the endocannabinoid system, boosting serotonin levels, and also offering various beneficial effects that are different based on the chemicals which are within. They work directly with the system to produce it. 

However broad-spectrum options are not psychoactive, so you will not feel the high that you might with THC, but it does offer a lot of the various compounds that are used to help with benefitting the body and the mind. As for the benefits, it can be used for a variety of different things, and there needs to be more evidence for some of these to have full conclusions. 

However, it’s been found that currently, there is research which points to the fact that CBD is anti-anxiety, and it’s one of the biggest health benefits. 

However, t also can be used for a variety of other conditions, including the following: 

  • Arthritis and inflammatory conditions 
  • Seizures and epilepsy 
  • Mood disorders 
  • Nerve and chronic pain 
  • Sleep issues including sleep apnea, but also insomnia as well 
  • Depression and anxiety 
  • PTSD 
  • Appetite problems 

There is some research that does say it also may help with MS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The best thing about this, is that it is generally considered safe to use in almost all situations, and right now, there aren’t any major side effects of risks that come with this, so it’s worth looking at. 

But, if you’re going to use this kind of product, always make sure that you don’t buy it from a seller that doesn’t have the credentials, and make sure that you can use it with certain medications as well before using.
