What’s the difference between full-spectrum hemp and broad-spectrum hemp? You may have seen a few options when browsing around for CBD. What’s it all about? CBD products will be labeled as CBD Isolate, Full Spectrum, or Broad Spectrum, but what should you choose? How can you decide which is right for you?
It’s important to understand the differences between full spectrum vs broad spectrum CBD.
In short, when oil is extracted from the hemp plant, its most natural form is Full Spectrum CBD, as it contains all of the cannabinoids; CBD, CBN, CBG, THC to name a few. Broad Spectrum CBD is Full Spectrum with the cannabinoid with THC removed. There are limited studies on the effectiveness of Broad Spectrum.
Aunt Bonnie likes to compare broad spectrum to decaf coffee. It looks like coffee, it smells like coffee, but it doesn’t give you the same effect as coffee. We recommend Full Spectrum CBD to enjoy the extract as nature intended.
A quick note: CBD is actually one cannabinoid or component found in Full Spectrum or Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract. The industry has used CBD as a term to describe Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum. This has caused confusion, and this is why we want you to understand the difference so that you can look for the term Full Spectrum when buying your CBD or Full Spectrum Hemp products.
Full Spectrum CBD is an extract that contains everything that occurs naturally in the plant. The full spectrum of compounds found in the plant creates the “entourage effect.” This means they work together to increase the therapeutic benefits of each cannabinoid.
In a study conducted about the effects of full-spectrum CBD, researchers found that test subjects reported higher relief levels when administered with full-spectrum CBD compared to CBD isolate. The study also found that higher dosages rather than an increased number of dosages of full-spectrum CBD provided more enhanced effects.
Broad Spectrum CBD is full-spectrum hemp extract with the cannabinoid THC removed. Now that full-spectrum CBD has been around for a while, consumers understand that full-spectrum CBD does not get you high like traditional weed and most consumers are reaching for full spectrum to receive the full benefits as nature intended. If you are nervous about full-spectrum CBD Aunt Bonnie recommends starting with a half dose of our Starter Strength Full Spectrum Hemp Extract.
CBD isolate is where the cannabinoid CBD is removed from the full spectrum hemp extract. This leaves you without all of the full benefits of the plants working together as it also removes other compounds such as flavonoids.
Full Spectrum CBD offers the full benefits of the hemp plant the way nature intended! That’s why we choose to carry Full Spectrum CBD products at Aunt Bonnie’s. The versatility and positive effects of Full Spectrum CBD are the perfect options for the widest range of people.

Cannabinoids include CBD, THC, and hundreds of other naturally occurring elements that are found within the hemp plant. Cannabinoids can deliver health benefits to the human body by interacting with receptors in the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). While the ECS is still being researched, it’s confirmed that the ECS plays a role in sleep, memory, mood, reproduction, fertility, and appetite functions.
And by the way, you might find it interesting to know that the Human Endocannabinoid System is still active in your body even if you don’t use CBD products.
The ECS involves three components: Endocannabinoids, Endocannabinoid receptors, and enzymes.
Endocannabinoids are molecules produced by your body. They help keep internal functions running smoothly.
Endocannabinoid receptors are found throughout your body. Endocannabinoids bind the receptors to tell the ECS that it needs to take action. There are two types of receptors: CB1, which is typically found in the central nervous system, and CB2, which is in your peripheral nervous system. Endocannabinoids bind to either receptor and the effects depend on which receptor it is bound to.
Enzymes break down endocannabinoids once they’ve completed their function. There are two main types of enzymes: fatty acid amide hydrolase and monoacylglycerol acid lipase.
Again, researchers haven’t discovered the full capabilities of the Human Endocannabinoid System yet. But even still, the ECS has been linked to several processes, including:
Experts believe that maintaining homeostasis is the primary purpose of the Human Endocannabinoid System. Homeostasis is the stability of your internal functions. The processes listed above contribute to homeostasis.
So then the question is:
The human Endocannabinoid System (ECS) has a series of receptors that accept cannabinoids. Did you know that your body makes endocannabinoids? The hemp plants make phytocannabinoids.
