CBD iso-what? With so many versions of this plant-powered compound, you might be wondering what CBD isolate is, and how it differs from broad-spectrum and full-spectrum blends. In short, it’s the purest form of CBD available. But there’s so much more to this hemp hero than that. Here’s what you need to know...
What is CBD Isolate?
CBD isolate is a crystalline or solid powder made up of 99% pure CBD, which has been carefully extracted from flowering hemp plants. The popular cannabinoid is cleansed from the flowers of the plants, refined to achieve purity, then added to a CBD capsule, a CBD gummy or a CBD oil to make dosage easy and speedy.
But what really sets CBD isolate apart from full-spectrum and broad-spectrum blends is how pure it is. Waxes, oils and other cannabinoids are stripped away, so you’re left with just a concentrated dose of the main, active compound. And purity is just one of the benefits of CBD isolate. There are many other reasons why it might be the go-to form for CBD fans.
What are the Other Benefits of CBD Isolate?
1. Flavour
The raw CBD extract that is found in many waxes and oils has a strong, bitter flavour of earthy hemp that many people dislike, and prefer to avoid in their self-care routines. However, because CBD isolate is free of any other, taste-altering compounds, it tends to be flavourless. No earthy taste here – this pure dosage is clean and easily mixed with sweeter notes. That’s why, when we add in the citrusy flavour to our Bright Days Oil Drops or the peppermint freshness to our Night Time Oil Drops, no hints of hemp interfere with those subtly-sweet tastes.
2. THC-Free
One of the biggest reasons CBD isolate is gaining buzz right now is because it’s THC-free. That means, when you’re taking it, you won’t experience any intoxicating effects. When all those waxes and oils are filtered out, the THC (or tetrahydrocannabinol) goes along with them. And, while this can be true for full-spectrum or broad-spectrum blends too, the pure isolate gives you that extra confidence.
3. Easy to use
Mix CBD isolate with a carrier oil, like coconut or hemp oil — plus a delicious flavour — and you’ve got an easy-to-take tincture that you can drop right beneath your tongue. Simpler still; it can be added to CBD capsules for dosage that’s swallowed with water, or infused in a fruit-flavoured CBD gummy for the sweetest kind of self-care you’ll ever enjoy. This powder or crystalline form of CBD is perfect for creating these types of quick-to-use products that fit seamlessly into your AM to PM schedule. No wonder it’s so popular.
