The Entourage Effect: Why Real Full-Spectrum Matters

What is the Entourage Effect and why should you choose Full-Spectrum CBD? First off, CBD by itself is pretty awesome. But using only CBD may mean missing out on the full benefits found in real Full-Spectrum CBD.

Why Real Full-Spectrum Matters

There’s over 100 different cannabinoids found in hemp, each with their own unique health benefits!

While CBD & THC are the most common, there’s also cannabinoids like CBDV, CBG, THCV, CBN, CBC, and etc. Each cannabinoid has its own unique benefits which you might not get by only having CBD & THC – which most brands only have in their “full-spectrum” products.

This is why real Full-Spectrum products matter, as they should have the widest range of cannabinoids for us to get the most complete range of health benefits from CBD products.

Compared to a formula with only CBD & THC, a real Full-Spectrum formula with CBD, CBG, CBDV & THCV will have more potential benefits and be more effective for pain, anxiety, sleep or whatever ailment you are hoping to relieve.

What are the benefits of other Cannabinoids?

While CBD can help improve sleep, chronic pain and anxiety, it may not be as effective as other cannabinoids such as a Full-Spectrum formula with CBG, CBDV, or THCV may be for certain ailments.

CBG for Gut Health & Pain

CBG may offer powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which could benefit issues such as IBS, colitis and acne. It may also have benefits for those with severe pain and muscle/joint inflammation or arthritis.

CBDV for Skincare & Braincare

CBDV may be highly effective as an anti-acne agent and could have powerful neuroprotective effects for those suffering from nausea or epilepsy. CBDV may also have benefits for those suffering from headaches or chronic nerve pain.

THCV For Anti-Anxiety & Focus (Non-Psychoactive)

THCV is a rare and exclusive cannabinoid that may be a greater anxiety suppressant than CBD, with potential benefits for appetite management and for boosting mental clarity. THCV functions like the exact opposite of THC, actually working to block receptors that respond to THC. THCV is completely non-psychoactive and so it cannot get you high.

Cannabinoids Are Kind of Like Vitamins..

A balanced and healthy diet means having a variety of vitamins and nutrients for the widest range of health benefits. We don’t aim to have just one vitamin or mineral.

A balanced diet also means having a variety of cannabinoids for the greatest range of benefits – which means using a full-spectrum CBD formula. Having multiple cannabinoids together can also create a synergestic “Entourage Effect.”

In this guide, we’ll explain the benefits of Full-Spectrum CBD vs. Isolate CBD and what makes a real Full-Spectrum product. We’ll also explain how you can naturally enhance your CBD experience for the most effective relief.

What is the Entourage Effect?

When you mix CBD, CBG, CBDV, THCV and more together..

When cannabinoids are taken together, they can enhance the effects of each other. This is called the Entourage Effect. Cannabinoids are also enhanced by other plant compounds such as terpenes (smell & flavour compounds found in fruits).

When taken together (like in real Full-Spectrum CBD), Cannabinoids & Terpenes can create a powerful synergestic entourage effect by:

Amplifying the effects of each other.

Balancing out the negative effects of each other.

Making up for what the other is lacking in benefits.

CBD & THC – Balancing Out the Negatives

THC by itself has many benefits, but it’s also linked to negative effects such as increased anxiety, risk of psychosis, increased depression, and of course increased appetite. Long-term use of THC has also been linked to reduced concentration, decreased short-term memory and impaired motor skills.

In nature, THC doesn’t normally occur by itself. Rather, THC usually comes with CBD in wild cannabis & hemp plants. It’s this CBD that helps counteract the negative effects of THC such as anxiety and paranoia – effectively “balancing it out” while still allowing you to have the positive effects of THC’s pain relief. This is a clear case of the entourage effect happening in nature!

THC & THCV – Removing the Negatives & Enhancing the Positives

THCV is a unique and rare cannabinoid that actually has the opposite effects of THC. When combined with THC, THCV can reduce the negatives of THC while enhancing the positives of it.

By using THCV with THC you can reduce the anxiety & hunger of THC, while enhancing the creative energy of THC by boosting your energy & focus, decreasing your appetite, and reducing your anxiety. THCV may also have powerful neuroprotective benefits for Parkinson’s, anti-psychotic effects and promise as an anti-acne agent.

CBD, CBG, CBDV & THCV – Complimenting the Strengths of Each Other

CBD, CBG, CBDV & THCV. Each cannabinoid may be best in one particular area. CBD is all-around great for sleep, pain & anxiety. CBG may be a greater anti-inflammatory than CBD and may be beneficial for IBS/digestive issues. CBDV may be best for skincare & braincare. THCV may be best for boosting your energy, focus and reducing your anxiety. When taken together, having CBD, CBG, CBDV & THCV gives you the perfect overall formula for the most complete range of benefits.
