What is the difference between Isolate, Broad and Full Spectrum CBD?Updated a year ago

At Hey Mary Jane we believe that plant medicines should be used as Mother Nature intended, in its most purest form. For this reason, We only use Full Spectrum CBD in our products. Full spectrum CBD oil contains the full cannabinoid profile of the hemp plant, including CBD, CBG, CBN, a tiny trace of THC (below 0.3%, so non-intoxicating), and other cannabinoids. Full-spectrum oil also contains the terpenes and flavonoids of the cannabis plant, as well.                       

When all of these cannabinoids are taken together, they produce a phenomenon called the Entourage Effect, wherein the various cannabinoids don’t simply work individually, in parallel to one another. Instead, they work synergistically, enhancing each other’s effects and creating a deeper level of therapeutic benefits. Broad-spectrum CBD is oil that has undergone an additional filtering process to remove the trace amounts of THC that exist in full-spectrum CBD. You’ll often see this noted as ND-THC, meaning that there are non-detectable amounts of THC in broad-spectrum CBD products (and CBD isolate products).

While this process can also remove some other cannabinoids, broad-spectrum CBD oil still retains a good amount of cannabinoids and terpenes. As a result, broad-spectrum CBD products can give users some of the Entourage Effect experience, though less pronounced than in full-spectrum CBD products.

CBD isolate is 99% pure CBD with all other active plant matter — other cannabinoids, terpenes, essential oils — removed. You won’t experience the Entourage Effect with CBD isolate, but you will have the purest form of CBD possible.
