What Are the Different Types of CBD Oils?
Here are the three main types of CBD oils available on the market:
- Full Spectrum CBD Oil encompasses all cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the hemp plant, including a trace amount of THC (<0.3%), in accordance with French legislation. This type of oil takes advantage of the entourage effect, a synergy that enhances the action of the components. This oil closely resembles the original composition of natural hemp.
- Broad Spectrum CBD Oil is an intermediate option between full spectrum and isolate. It contains a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes but no THC (though residues may be detectable).
- CBD Isolate, or pure CBD oil, results from isolating CBD from other hemp components. This type of oil, containing nearly 99% CBD, does not benefit from the entourage effect but ensures a high concentration of CBD, with no traces of THC or other cannabinoids.
What Are the Characteristics of Broad Spectrum CBD Oil?
Broad Spectrum CBD Oil, guaranteed THC-free, is enriched not only with CBD but also with valuable molecules like CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN (cannabinol), as well as other organic terpenoids, collectively contributing to the entourage effect without risking mental clarity or stress. This oil stands out with several significant advantages:
- No trace of THC, offering a non-psychoactive experience while staying within the legal framework (less than 0.3% THC, according to current regulations in France).
- Preserving other hemp components promotes the entourage effect, thereby enhancing the performance and effect of CBD.
What Are the Characteristics of CBD Isolate, the THC-Free Broad Spectrum CBD Oil?
CBD Isolate is the purest and most concentrated form of cannabidiol available on the market. It is a perfect option for those looking to benefit solely from the effects of CBD, without the presence of other cannabinoids, terpenes, or compounds found in hemp.
- CBD Isolate is typically 99.9% pure or more, meaning it is almost exclusively composed of cannabidiol.
- Since CBD Isolate is devoid of other cannabinoids and terpenes, it offers a highly targeted effect. This can be advantageous for those looking to exploit the specific properties of CBD, such as its potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, or anxiolytic benefits, without the interactions of the entourage effect.
- The absence of THC and THCA in CBD Isolate also means it is undetectable in standard THC tests for cannabinoids. This can reassure users who must undergo regular screening for professional or legal reasons.
How Is THC-Free CBD Produced?
To produce THC-free CBD extracts, it is necessary to extract CBD while removing THC, which may be present in small quantities in hemp. Several extraction methods can achieve pure CBD, often in the form of CBD isolate oil:
- Supercritical CO2 Extraction (used by Marie Jeanne CBD)
- Chromatography
- Ethanol Extraction
- Oil Extraction
After extraction, pure CBD can be added to oil in the form of isolate or other formulas suitable for consumption as sublingual drops or ingestion.
Does THC-Free Mean Undetectable?
Yes, "THC-Free" pure CBD isolate formulas mean it is undetectable in the human body with today's technical means. Note that this applies only to products labeled "THC-Free" or "CBD Isolate" and certainly not to broad spectrum (which has detectable THC residues) or full spectrum.
For individuals undergoing tests, particularly those related to driving or professional responsibilities, it is essential to know that only isolated spectrum CBD oils are guaranteed THC-free. Broad spectrum oils, even with minimal levels, could affect results, especially with intensive regular use of the products.
For those seeking an absolute guarantee of zero THC, turning to products derived from Marie Jeanne's CBD isolates, which are 100% THC-free, is the best option.
