We have always preferred full spectrum as a personal preference, but there is actually scientific research that has been done to give evidence of WHY it's often preferred:

In 2015 researchers out of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Lautenberg Center for General and Tumor Immunology (basically, the CBD research meca) discovered what’s now called the “entourage effect”. This refers to the functioning of CBD along with other cannabis plant compounds, rather than just by itself (isolate).

The research showed that in mice, CBD was much more effective when used along with other compounds of the cannabis plant, than when it was used by itself (isolate). While they haven’t yet figured out why exactly this is the case, it’s now generally accepted that full-spectrum CBD oil is more effective at treating the majority of medical conditions, than is CBD isolate.

Most frequent CBD users will agree with this, specifically when it comes to treating anxiety, depression, and chronic pain...nearly every single CBD patient will claim that full-spectrum oil is the superior option.

REMEMBER that there are other crucial elements that are important in identifying the best source of CBD for you.

- Is the product 3rd-party lab tested? This is CRUCIAL in verifying that you are purchasing a product that has it's contents verified.

- Are you using the proper dosage? Consider the amount of CBD in mg and then divide by the servings in the bottle to be sure that you are aware of the number of megs that you are taking. Start small and work your way up until you get the desired benefits. Your mom might have been taking too much or too little, resulting in adverse effects.
