Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

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.

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.

In comparison, broad spectrum CBD oil contains most of these plant compounds but without THC, making it a suitable stand-in if you need to avoid THC completely. However, broad spectrum extracts may be slightly less effective than full spectrum oils because they lack the synergistic effects of THC. CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD, containing no other compounds at all, so it tends to be the least potent.

Full spectrum CBD oil is often considered more effective for discomfort than other forms of hemp extract — including broad spectrum and CBD isolate — because the synergistic relationship between cannabinoids is believed to boost the therapeutic effects of CBD.

According to Mayaahet al., full spectrum hemp extracts have shown promise in reducing various types of discomfort, suggesting that their range of cannabinoids and other compounds in full spectrum extract may enhance pain relief compared to THC or CBD alone [2].

While many people use the terms interchangeably, hemp oil and CBD oil are different products. Hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of the hemp plant. It’s rich in fatty acids and commonly used as a nutritional supplement, but contains little to no active cannabinoids.

CBD oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, which naturally contain high concentrations of CBD along with other cannabinoids and terpenes. Full spectrum hemp CBD extract is used for its potential therapeutic effects.

Hemp-derived full spectrum CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC are 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.

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.

You can take CBD oil by placing it under your tongue, mixing it into food or drinks, or simply swallowing it as-is. Taking CBD oil under your tongue can help it work the fastest. If you go this route, be sure to hold it under your tongue for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. This allows the CBD to enter your bloodstream directly, bypassing the lengthy digestive process.

You can even apply CBD oil topically for localized relief, though specially formulated CBD topicals — like balms and lotions — tend to be best for use on the skin.
