Learning the Language of CBD

What is the difference between all the different types of CBD products?

If you have begun your journey exploring the benefits of using CBD, you will have come across numerous names of various types of CBD. This article intends to clarify the mystique behind the many names, and hopefully give you confidence that you are buying the type of CBD that will give you the best experience.

Full Spectrum Hemp Oil (FSHO):
Full spectrum CBD is an extract that contains all compounds found naturally occurring in the plant, including terpenes, essential oils, and other cannabinoids, including the legally allowed practically undetectable, non-psychoactive amounts of THC. The amount of THC is undetectable in the bottle and therefore in your body when consumed, however if you are concerned about being drug tested by your employer, you may want to consult your physician or employer first. Note- there are NO intoxicating effects from the THC at this percentage. Many users of full spectrum products have reported passing employment required drug testing with no problems whatsoever. I have tested myself after many weeks of use at dosages of 66 mg. of FSHO (Full Spectrum Hemp Oil) per day and the results were negative for THC presence in my system.

The full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils extracted from the plant work together to magnify the therapeutic benefits of each individual cannabinoid. This is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect“. It was previously believed that CBD in its isolated form was more effective than Full Spectrum CBD; however, in 2005, this theory was debunked by a study from the Lautenberg Center for General Tumor Immunology in Jerusalem. In the study, researchers found that test subjects administered with full spectrum CBD were provided with higher levels of relief, compared to subjects administered with CBD isolate. In addition, the results showed that full spectrum CBD provided enhanced effects with higher dosages, while the effects of CBD isolate remained consistent with increased dosages.

Why is FSHO recommended? There is a synergy between all the components found in FSHO, including the minute amounts of THC that may be present. Remember, the trace amounts of THC in FSHO is not detectable in drug tests and does not cause any psychotropic effects (no intoxication or “high”). This is called the “entourage” effect and it is believed that each component actually enhances the effect of the overall product.

Broad Spectrum:
Broad spectrum CBD is a bit of a mix between Full Spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate. Like Full Spectrum CBD, the other compounds found within the plant are preserved in the extract; however, like CBD Isolate, THC is completely removed. Furthermore, some of the other beneficial compounds are lost in the refinement proceed. Because Broad Spectrum CBD contains multiple cannabinoids, it still provides some of the entourage effect.

Isolate:
In scientific terms, an isolate is the purest form of a compound, which is produced by singularly extracting that compound from its environment and isolating it from all other compounds. With that being said, CBD isolate is CBD in its purest form, which is produced by removing all other compounds found in the plant including terpenes, flavonoids, plant parts, and other cannabinoids.

Each type of CBD product has its place and each person needs to make their own choice as to which they prefer.

CBD Extraction Methods

There are three basic extraction methods to create CBD oil and associated products. CO2 extraction. The supercritical (or subcritical) CO2 method uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and extremely low temperatures to isolate, preserve, and maintain the purity of the medicinal oil. This process requires expensive equipment and a steep operational learning curve. But, when done well, the end product is safe, potent, and free of chlorophyll (chlorophyll imparts an undesirable taste). Ethanol. High-grade grain alcohol can be used to create high-quality cannabis oil appropriate for vape pen cartridges and other products. But this extraction method destroys the plant waxes and some other phytochemicals, which may have health benefits that are favored by some product-makers. Olive oil. Olive oil can also be used to extract cannabis oil. Dr. Arno Hazekamp, director of phytochemical research at Bedrocan BV, which supplies medical cannabis for the Dutch Health Ministry, reports this ...

What Our Customers Are Saying About YallaCBD

I had 5 major back surgeries over 20 years and was on heavy opioids which only barely made the pain tolerable. I recently discovered CBD and found it to be an amazing replacement for pain management. I was able to completely eliminate the use of opioids. I am particularly impressed with how effective the topicals are for me; even more effective than the drops. - Mike P., Sr. Pastor I injured my shoulder the other evening and was having throbbing pain and inflammation. I rubbed some of the 4000 mg. gel on it and within a few minutes the pain was gone and the swelling went down. - M. M., IT Professional I twisted my ankle, aggravating an old injury. It hurt! I rubbed on some of the 1000 mg. gel and within about 10 minutes the pain was gone and stayed gone! I now use CBD to improve recovery time in the gym and heal any injuries fast. Also, I tend to get eczema on my fingers and needed a steroid to make it go away. Now, just a little bit of CBD (drops, gel or balm) and the eczema ...

Week #2 at Eugene Saturday Market

Greetings!  I thought I would share an experience I had recently in Oregon at Eugene's Saturday Market.  I like to attend these events because it gives me the opportunity to meet people, talk to them about CBD , share knowledge, information and samples as well as find out the challenges they face in terms of physical dysfunction. I met a young woman who was sharing with me that she had been experiencing extreme pain in her neck due to muscle knots and spasms.  I suggested she try some of our 2500 mg. Recovery Gel .  I explained how it would relax her muscles and provide relief for the pain. She agreed to try some so I squirted some on her hand and she rubbed into her neck.  At that point she wanted to catch up with her friends who had wondered over to some other booths.  I asked her to come back in 10 minutes or so to let me know how she was doing and if her neck felt any better. About 10 minutes later, she returned with her friends in tow, and was mo...
