Why do we embrace the FULL SPECTRUM concept?

The Full Spectrum family recognizes cannabis as a miracle herb. Cannabis is good for both the mind and body. This is the only beginning of what we have discovered.

Whole plant medicine” is a term used to describe medicines utilizing the full spectrum of therapeutic compounds cannabis has to offer. “entourage effect.” Simply put, the thesis is that combining cannabis compounds creates a different physical or psychological impact than a single compound on its own. As a result, users of full-spectrum CBD products often report that in addition to seeing an improvement in specific health conditions, they also notice an improvement in other aspects of their physical and mental health, such as sleep, digestion, or mood.

THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT

Cannabis contains approximately 500 botanical compounds, including:
* Major cannabinoids (THC, which has an intoxicating effect, and non-intoxicating CBD) and more than 100 other trace cannabinoids, which are collectively called Phytocannabinoids
* More than 200 terpenes (called terpenoids when they become oxidized), such as limonene, myrcene, humulene, pinene, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene
* Other botanical compounds, such as vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, omega fatty acids, flavonoids, phenols, and chlorophyll
* Cannabinoids interact with cannabinoid receptors that are found in your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). Your ECS helps your nervous, immune, endocrine, and digestive systems work together to regulate sleep, mood, reproduction, immune function, pain, motor control, brain function, appetite, metabolism, cardiovascular function, body temperature, and digestive functions.

The entourage effect is a term that refers to the enhancing, synergetic effect that occurs when the full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and botanical compounds that naturally occur in the cannabis plant are consumed together. When all these components work together, they stimulate your endocannabinoid system, which helps your body achieve optimal balance.
