CBD, or cannabidiol, is a popular cannabinoid known for its potential health and wellness benefits without producing a high. If you’re exploring CBD products, you may notice terms like full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate. These refer to the different types of CBD, each with unique characteristics and benefits.
1. Full-Spectrum CBD
Full-spectrum CBD contains all the natural compounds found in the cannabis plant, including:
-
CBD
-
Other cannabinoids (like CBG, CBN, THC-A)
-
Terpenes
-
Flavonoids
Because it includes trace amounts of Delta-9 THC (less than 0.3% in hemp-derived products), full-spectrum CBD can produce the entourage effect — where cannabinoids and terpenes work together to enhance the overall therapeutic experience.

2. Broad-Spectrum CBD
Broad-spectrum CBD contains multiple cannabinoids and terpenes but no detectable THC. This makes it a great option for those who want the entourage effect without any risk of THC-related psychoactive effects.
Broad-spectrum products often include other beneficial cannabinoids such as:
3. CBD Isolate
CBD isolate is pure cannabidiol with all other cannabinoids, terpenes, and THC removed. It’s ideal for people who:
-
Want CBD only, with no THC or other cannabinoids
-
Are sensitive to cannabinoids or drug testing
-
Prefer precise dosing
CBD isolate is available in powders, tinctures, capsules, and gummies.
How to Choose the Right Type of CBD
When choosing a CBD product, consider:
-
Your goals: For example, full-spectrum may provide broader effects, while isolate is best for targeted CBD use.
-
THC sensitivity: Broad-spectrum or isolate avoids THC entirely.
-
Form preference: Tinctures, gummies, capsules, and topicals all offer different delivery methods.
If you’re curious about other cannabinoids, you might explore THC-V, THC-P, or HHC products for unique effects (THC-V page, THC-P page, HHC page).
