What are the types of CBD oils?

CBD oils are becoming more and more popular as a supplement supporting the treatment and prevention of many ailments. All types of CBD oils are obtained from hemp, mostly Cannabis Sativa, which does not contain high levels of THC. CBD oils have broad therapeutic qualities, such as anti-inflammatory properties, neuroprotective properties, they can boost your immunity and they even might be effective in cancer prevention. There are 3 major types of CBD oils in the market: Full-Spectrum, Broad-Spectrum and CBD-isolate.

An additional method of CBD oil classification may also be the type extraction and concentration of cannabidiol (CBD). What is the difference between the different types of CBD and which one you should choose to supply your store?

Full Spectrum CBD oil and its benefits

Full Spectrum CBD oils literally contain a full spectrum of active substances and phytochemicals found in hemp. Full Spectrum CBD oils are considered to be the most effective when it comes to their therapeutic properties. The reason why Full Spectrum CBD oils are the most effective is because they are produced from the whole hemp extract.

This means that they contain all the necessary nutrients, such as cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, which work in synergy giving the so called “entourage effect” enhancing each other’s therapeutic effects. The entourage effect can be obtained when all the nutrients in a CBD product work together giving a way stronger therapeutic effect than when they are used separately.

Full Spectrum CBD contains other cannabinoids than just CBD (Cannabidiol), such as CBG (Cannabigerol), THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBC (Cannabichromene). All of them show valuable health properties, such as:

• Anti-depressant
• Anti-inflammatory
• Analgesic effect
• Anti-fungal
• Anti-convulsion
• Anti-tumor

Full Spectrum CBD oils also contain naturally-occurring vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty acids and more. If you are looking for great quality Full Spectrum CBD oils for your store, contact us. In Cannabis Spot we have the best quality full spectrum oils in the market.

What is a Broad Spectrum CBD oil?

Broad Spectrum refers to a CBD oil which is similar to the Full Spectrum, except it has been devoid of any THC content. The lack of THC content in this product has its advantages and disadvantages. It is a good option for people, who get drug tested at work, because even very low content of THC can be found in drug tests. This applies to such professions as athletes.

The downside is the health-promoting effect of THC which in Broad Spectrum is not found. However, the Broad Spectrum still contains the other cannabinoids and nutrients that can be found in Full Spectrum. For people who do not have to worry about the THC content, Full Spectrum is more recommended.

CBD Isolate – how does it work?

CBD isolate is also refereed to as “pure CBD”. It is a crystalline substance most commonly in a form of powder that has been processed in order to remove all the cannabinoids (except for CBD), and other nutrients such as flavonoids, terpenes, vitamins, etc. CBD isolate is usually used as an ingredient of other products, for instance an olive oil, and sold as a CBD oil. Their absorption is lower than the one of Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum. It still has some valuable health properties such as analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Methods of CBD oil extraction

CBD oils can also be classified by a method of extraction. The type of extraction as an impact on the quality, taste and the potency of the oil. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. The most popular methods for CBD extraction include:

• Extraction by solvent (ethanol) – with this method, hemp is soaked in a solvent, usually ethanol. The resulting liquid then is put through the process of distillation and isolation of acquired compounds. The process of extraction is quite inexpensive and does not require any special technologies. The main advantage of this method is that it does not strip the product of its valuable ingredients such as cannabinoids and other nutrients. It also preserves the aroma and taste of the hemp. The disadvantage of this method is has to be executed with a special caution, to make sure that the residues of the solvent are not left in the final product.
• CO₂ extraction – this method of CBD extraction involves using concentrated CO₂, which looks more like a liquid. The CO₂ passes through the hemp and separates the oil from the plant material. Then the residual CO₂ evaporates, giving us a high quality and highly concentrated CBD oil. The biggest cons to this method is that the solvent is save and environment friendly, giving is a great quality CBD with a high concentration of cannabinoids and nutrients. The disadvantage of this method is that it is somewhat expensive and complicated.
• Olive oil extraction – olive oil can also be used as a natural solvent for CBD extraction. The hemp gets heated to a certain temperature. This process is also called decarboxylation. Then, the hemp is put in the olive oil and heated again to extract the CBD and other cannabinoids. This method is fairly inexpensive and does not involve any specialized equipment and staff. Unfortunately the final product is more perishable, does not preserves its aroma and taste, and is less concentrated than other CBD products.
• Steam distillation – this method of CBD extraction is quite self explanatory. Steam is used to extract the cannabinoids from hemp. The final product is oil and water which then gets separated. This method is inexpensive and solvent-free. However, it produces oils with inconsistent concentrations of CBD and can have a negative impact on the cannabinoids and nutrients.

A minimally processed product has the best quality and keeps most of its valuable properties. In Cannabis Spot we use extraction by solvent, which ensures a high quality product with a wide spectrum of cannabinoids and nutrients, as well as perfectly preserved aroma and taste.

Colors of CBD oils – what do they tell us

This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to CBD oils – what do the colors of CBD oils mean? They actually can vary depending on many factors, but mostly, they indicate the extraction method and the density of cannabinoids, nutrients and active ingredients.

• Dark green or dark gold – CBD oils with those colors characterized by great quality and are high in nutrient content. This type of oil is usually obtained by alcohol extraction, not devoid of nutrients and chlorophyll. Full Spectrum CBD oils usually have this color.
• Green or gold – Those colors are characteristic of full-spectrum or broad-spectrum oils. It contains a full range of cannabinoids and nutrients.
• Light green or light gold – Characteristic for broad-spectrum oils, which can range in color from green and golden to light green and light golden. Usually obtained using the oil method with the help of olive oil or coconut oil.
• Transparent – This is usually the color of a CBD isolate. It has the smallest amount of active ingredients and cannabinoids, or no thereof.

As you can see above, the best quality CBD oils usually have dark green or gold colors. At Cannabis Spot we offer the highest quality Full Spectrum oils, with dark, naturally earthy, golden-green colors.

Can Full Spectrum CBD oil make you high?

Full Spectrum CBD oil contains less than 0.3% THC content, meaning it does not posses any narcotic effects. This means that the Full Spectrum CBD oil is not intoxicating in any way. However, this content of THC is not recommended for people who are tested for THC at work. In this case it will be better to reach for a Broad Spectrum CBD oil which does not contain any levels of THC.
