Broad Spectrum CBD contains a range of beneficial compounds, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, that can enhance the effects of CBD. These components work together to create the Entourage Effect, a term coined by scientist Raphael Mechoulam.
Our Broad Spectrum CBD extraction process carefully retains as much of the plant as possible while safely removing any THC.
CBD can enhance your overall health and wellness with the following potential benefits:
CBD works in harmony with your body, helping to restore balance by supporting your endocannabinoid system (ECS). Your ECS is a vital network of receptors that regulate various aspects of your health and wellness, including:
By working closely with your ECS, CBD has been shown to provide relief for a wide range of conditions.
You probably want to see some evidence. First, let's focus on safety. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that CBD is generally well tolerated and has a good safety profile. CBD can interact with certain medications, so it is important to consult a health professional before using CBD if you are taking any medications, have underlying health conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Next, let's dig into the health and wellness claims. Clinical trials and scientific studies are being published regularly in response to growing curiosity among the public and medical community.
Some examples are provided below.
A 2022 review examining CBD and chronic pain found that "CBD oils provide relief for various conditions, including pain without intoxication", suggesting value in expanding clinical trials.
A 2019 study documents 72 adult patients who received CBD treatment. Within the first month, just over 79% experienced a reduction in anxiety scores. In addition, sleep scores improved for just over 66% of the patients.
A 2015 review indicates that "CBD has considerable potential as a treatment for anxiety disorders", recommending further study of chronic and therapeutic effects in relevant clinical populations.
Sources of latest news include Project CBD, a California-based nonprofit focused on publicising research into the medical uses of CBD, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and, of course, our blog.

CBD affects individuals differently and it's important to note that the regulations mean we cannot currently make specific claims about its effects.
CBD is known for its potential to promote a sense of relaxation and overall wellbeing. If you are managing anxiety, you may notice a reduction in racing thoughts or feelings of unease. If you have had trouble sleeping, you may find that CBD helps you fall asleep more easily and stay asleep throughout the night. Some individuals find relief from chronic pain or inflammation after using CBD. It's also worth noting that the effects of CBD can be subtle and might be more about what you don't feel (e.g. a reduction in pain, anxiety, etc).
Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for personalised guidance on CBD usage and its potential effects.

Broad Spectrum CBD provides the benefits of the whole hemp plant without the psychoactive effects associated with THC.
Broad Spectrum CBD products contain a broad range of other cannabinoids like CBG, CBN and CBC, in addition to CBD. They also contain terpenes which are known for their antioxidant properties and flavonoids which offer anti-inflammatory benefits. These compounds have been shown to work synergistically to enhance the bioavailability and effectiveness of CBD. This is known as the "entourage effect".
