In these days when CBD oil is coming more popular every day. It is sometimes hard to understand what is what and which product is the best for you. FULL SPECTRUM CBD OIL or BROAD SPECTRUM? Or even ISOLATE?

- Cannabinoids. The most valuable compounds are cannabinoids. There are more than 100 cannabinoids in the plant: CBD, CBG, CBN, THC and more… CBD and THC are most known and responsible for the therapeutic and psychoactive effects of cannabis products.
- Terpenes. There are more than 150 terpenes in cannabis. They affect the plant’s fragrance. They can also have therapeutic benefits.
- Flavonoids. Cannabis includes about 20 different flavonoids. Flavonoids are found in all kinds of plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and more. Like terpenes, they have therapeutic effects.
