What types of CBD are there?
Three types of CBD are Full Spectrum CBD Oil, Broad Spectrum CBD Oil and CBD Isolates.Full spectrum refers to natural extracts containing all cannabinoids, vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids and terpenes, and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Since the full spectrum retains all the good or bad of cannabinoids, it provides a greater soothing effect than other types.
Broad spectrum, like full spectrum, contains natural extracts, vitamins and other ingredients, but tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is removed. Can play a synergistic effect, but there will be no "HIGH" response.
CBD Isolate contains only one component of cannabidiol (CBD), without tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and also removes other components. It is the purest CBD. Mainly used to make other biological products, such as: food, beverages, etc.

CBD can be seen from the label capacity, which means that the product contains CBD active cannabinoids. The product labeled hemp seeds are derived from hemp, but does not contain any active cannabinoids.
