Full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate CBD - what’s the difference?

Let’s start by looking at the various forms of CBD being marketed, and how the qualities of each form may influence your decisions.

  • CBD isolate is often considered the ‘purest’ form of CBD. It’s the ideal product for CBD users who want to experience the benefits of cannabidiol as a food supplement, without the influence of other cannabis compounds. Because CBD isolate is refined, it has no discernible flavour nor odour.
  • Full spectrum CBD contains all cannabis plant compounds, which means it may have a more complex physiological effect than CBD isolate. The multiple compounds available in full spectrum CBD have what is called an ‘entourage effect’ – this is where cannabis compounds other than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) act synergistically to modulate the effects experienced. Generally speaking, full-spectrum CBD products may contain some THC, but at concentrations of less than 0.3%. It’s good to be aware that different manufacturing processes can influence TCH levels and independent test results are the only reliable way to ascertain the THC in any CBD product.
  • Broad spectrum CBD has a very similar chemical profile to full-spectrum CBD in that it usually contains additional cannabis plant compounds. However broad-spectrum CBD definitely should have less than the 0.3% THC which may be found in full-spectrum products. Like full spectrum CBD, broad spectrum offers a richer entourage effect than CBD isolate.

So what’s the real difference between full spectrum and broad spectrum? It’s partly legal. In Europe, the maximum permitted concentration of THC is 0.2%. However, several countries within the EU insist on lower permitted percentages than 0.2%. In essence, the only significant difference between full spectrum and broad spectrum is that a broad spectrum oil is guaranteed to deliver no significant THC, making it more universally acceptable and avoiding any problems with local legislation.

Candropharm – as a European leader with a customer base in more than forty countries – has focused on creating bulk CBD-rich hemp oils that:

  1. meet customer need.
  2. achieve stringent quality standards.
  3. surpass legal requirements.

Candropure - a bulk CBD-rich broad spectrum hemp oil

This phytocannabinoid-rich broad spectrum hemp oil offers a high base of cannabinoids and terpenes and is free from adulteration with any other agent or ingredient. With a CBD profile of choice between 5% and 30%, this is the ideal hemp oil for manufacturers who require an oil with a guaranteed long-term quality. It’s also popular with retailers and with pharmaceutical companies who require a reliable, broad spectrum oil. Guaranteed free from additives and artificial flavourings, it also has a THC profile of THC LOQ < 0.01%.

Flavoured bulk CBD hemp oil - Candro Aroma​

The constantly growing CBD market has increased demand on manufactures to create novel products that can be used in a variety of formats from drinks to shakes, from vapes to gels. Candropharm International has recognised the demand for pre-flavoured hemp oil and created Candro Aroma.

Comprising phytocannabinoid rich broad-spectrum hemp oil in a MCT oil carrier, Candro Aroma has specialist features that make it uniquely appealing. MCT is a fat-derived food supplement created from medium-chain triglycerides. MCT molecules are smaller than standard edible fats called long-chain triglycerides (LCT). AS a result MCT is easier to digest, more rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and quickly converted to energy the body can use.

Candro Aroma offers three flavour choices:

  • Mint
  • Lemon
  • Orange

Additionally, Candro Aroma arrives with a CBD profile of either 5% or 10% depending on customer needs. It also has a THC LOQ < 0.01% whilst maintaining its freight of cannabinoids and terpenes. Unadulterated with artificial additive and flavourings, this product, derived from natural ingredients, combines the value of a broad spectrum CBD oil with a delicious flavour and smooth mouth-feel. Flavoured bulk CBD hemp oil offers a clear benefit to customers who need the guaranteed quality of a broad spectrum hemp oil along with the palatability of globally popular flavours.

Minimum order quantity – 1 litre.
