Full Spectrum CBD

Most users report feeling a sense of calm relaxation and general well-being when taking full-spectrum hemp CBD oil. According to D’Angelo et al., these feelings result from the hemp compounds interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in mood regulation and sleep [1].

Hemp extract contains only trace amounts of THC, so full spectrum CBD does not produce the strong “high” or “buzz” associated with cannabis.

You get a fuller range of benefits with full spectrum CBD than you would with CBD isolate or broad spectrum. This is because full spectrum contains a range of compounds — like CBD, THC, CBG, and CBN — that work better together than they do alone. However, if you prefer to avoid THC, broad spectrum or isolate may be a better fit.

Technically, no. Full spectrum means that all of the hemp plants’ cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes are preserved, including small amounts of THC.  

However, other CBD supplements offer similar, slightly less potent benefits. Broad spectrum CBD oils, gummies, and soft gels each support sleep, recovery, and overall wellness without THC.

Our full spectrum products all start from a hemp extract — this is an oil-like substance extracted from the hemp plant via CO₂ extraction. 

We refine this rich extract, called crude hemp oil, to form the base ingredient. For example, to make a CBD tincture, we mix the hemp extract with a carrier oil — MCT oil — to create the final product.

Full spectrum cannabidiol oil is considered the most effective form of hemp extract because it retains all the plant’s naturally occurring compounds. CBD tinctures made from full spectrum extract are the gold standard for comprehensive wellness benefits.

Hemp-derived full spectrum CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC are conditionally legal across the U.S. This is an excellent reason to choose hemp extract over cannabis extract, which often contains higher levels of THC and may not be legal in your area. If you’re shopping on our website, feel free to double-check the THC content of any product by viewing our lab test results.

Full spectrum CBD may show up on a drug test because it contains small amounts of THC that sensitive tests may be able to detect. While some tests are more sensitive to THC than others, any amount of THC could potentially trigger a positive result. If you’re concerned about this, consider using a CBD product with no THC, such as broad spectrum extract or CBD isolate.

The amount of full spectrum CBD you should take depends on the potency of your product. All Neurogan CBD oil tinctures include clearly marked droppers, making it easy to measure a precise CBD dose. For reference, a 1 ml dropper holds about 20 drops of CBD oil. So, if your product contains 50 mg of CBD per ml, you’ll get about 2.5 mg of CBD per drop.

We recommend starting with a low CBD dose of around 5 to 10 mg and adjusting until you experience your desired effects. This might mean taking just a couple of drops your first time around and slowly working your way up to a full dropper if needed.
