Broad Spectrum Vs. Full Spectrum: What's Ideal For You

Now that legalization and legislation has made Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, a house hold name, using it for its many health benefits has also become less stigmatized. Multitudes of research that backs CBD has also left a positive impact on people’s perspective towards it, opening the door for all purposes from helping heal anxiety disorders to improving skin type.

"The first time I ever tried CBD was to help soothe my anxiety. I was fed up with taking various pills to try and make me 'better'... it wasn't how I wanted to live my life anymore. So I gave CBD oil a try. It was a huge relief for me to feel like myself, yet the edge was gone. A bonus to the whole thing was the relief from various aches and pains I have. Especially arthritis in my knees. It immediately alleviated 90% of my pain... The benefits of CBD oil are unlike anything any pill or medication can do." - Tom Hanks 

With increasing demand among millions of people, CBD experts have come up with various concentrations and forms. Some of the most common types include - broad-spectrum and full spectrum. If you’re wondering what the difference is between them both, we’ve got you covered:

Full-spectrum CBD- A full spectrum CBD concentrate contains different components of a cannabis plant, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Almost all federally certified full-spectrum products will have less than 0.3% THC content. This much amount does not make you feel high. 

Broad-spectrum CBD - This form of CBD does not contain THC at all. But at the same time, it consists of all other elements available in a cannabis plant. Broad spectrum CBD is ideal if you are beginning your CBD journey. It consists of almost all other components found in a full spectrum dose; it cannot be considered a pure CBD form. But the best part is it does not affect its therapeutic benefits for human beings. 

What are the standard perks of broad-spectrum CBD?

Broad-spectrum CBD is available in different types of products ranging from tinctures to different oil types. This makes its consumption easier and effective. This form of CBD is highly recommended for specific health issues, including - treating depression, improving sleeping patterns, fighting back inflammation issues, healing anxiety issues, and improving the state of some other neurological disorders. 

The only concern is with its consumption is if you are a newbie. Definitely consider consuming a moderate or minimal amount of CBD to start. A gradual approach will help you better ingest and deal with its post-effects. However, broad-spectrum CBD does not make you feel high; still, it's good to be on a safer side. 

The final takeaway. 

Surprise. It may interest you to know both (full spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD) are ideal for health. The only difference is with the THC contents available. Decide if you are comfortable with THC contents in your CBD product and make sure to read the labels carefully!
