This is the pure form of CBD. Our CBD isolate features +99% pure CBD to maximise the scope of its therapeutic potential.
Broad-Spectrum CBD
This type of CBD contains all the phytochemicals in the cannabis plant but with no THC.
Full-Spectrum CBD
Full-Spectrum CBD contrains all the phytochemicals which are found naturally in the cannabis plant, like cannabinoids, terpenes, oils and trace amounts of THC.
Endocannabinoid System
Our body’s health and optimum functioning depend on a highly complex cell-signalling system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). We all naturally produce molecules called cannabinoids which help regulate the immune system, sleep, mood, stress, pain, inflammation, and fertility. Scientists only discovered the ECS in the late 90s, and are continually discovering more and more about how the ECS works.
