Full Spectrum CBD Oil UK
Here at BROWN'S CBD, we take great pride in offering some of the best full spectrum cbd oil in the UK. This is due to the fact that our full spectrum oil contains the widest range of naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial plant compounds available.
By trusting in nature and providing full spectrum CBD products that are true to the source plant, our premium oil outperforms mainstream, over-processed CBD products. CBD oils made with CBD isolate or highly refined CBD distillate typically only contain CBD, and no substantial levels of other supporting compounds.
Read the full spectrum FAQs below to gain a better understanding on how full spectrum oil could support your overall well being.
What Is Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?
Full Spectrum CBD Oil is Cannabidiol Oil that is extracted in a way that retains all of the beneficial compounds that the hemp plant has to offer. This includes a range of cannabinoids, such as CBDA, CBC & CBG, and a wide range of terpenes and flavonoids. All of which have demonstrated significant potential to optimise our well-being.
As a general rule, the more beneficial compounds an oil has, the more effective it is. Because of this, we ensure that all of our products are full spectrum and remain as close to the plant as possible.
What Is The Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect is a widely studied and accepted phenomenon in cannabis science. Essentially, it is where the wide range of compounds found in the hemp plant work synergistically to enhance the benefits of each individual compound, such as CBD.
The entourage effect is one of the key reasons why Full Spectrum CBD Oils tend to be much more effective than cheaper oils made using CBD Isolate (pure CBD crystal). Given that the body only tends to absorb 10-15% of CBD that is ingested orally, one should always choose full spectrum to ensure they get the best possible outcome.
Aristotle's famous quote: "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is highly relevant to CBD Oil UK .
What Are The Benefits Of Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?
Full-spectrum CBD Oil can be used as a tool to supplement our endocannabinoid system. This system is present in nearly every animal organism and controls a range of bodily functions such as mood, memory, pain, appetite, and sleep.
By supplementing with Full Spectrum CBD Oil, one can stimulate the endocannabinoid system and help to promote the balance and proper functioning of our internal systems. This state of balance is otherwise known as homeostasis.
Can Full-Spectrum CBD Oil Make You Fail A Drug Test?
All of our CBD Oils are full spectrum and contain legal levels of THC (<0.05%), which in most cases is undetectable. The minute amounts of THC present mean that it is highly unlikely that you will fail a drug test.
However, depending on the sensitivity of the test, there is still a small chance that using any full-spectrum CBD products could trigger a positive test for THC.
How Much CBD Oil Should I Use?
The amount of CBD needed can vary from person to person, and some people are more sensitive to CBD than others.
Because of this, we always recommend starting with a low strength and a low daily dose such as 2 drops of our 5% Oil twice per day - morning and evening. If little benefit is felt after the first week, you can increase to three drops twice per day. Continue gradually increasing the number of drops until you feel the most benefit.
There is no one-size-fits-all strength or dose, so it comes down to personal experimentation to find what works best for you.
Do You Offer Any Products That Are Not Full-Spectrum?
Yes, for those of you who are looking for the benefits of CBD alone, our cannabidiol patches are made using CBD Isolate. These offer a highly effective (approx 4x higher bioavailability) alternative to oral drops made using CBD Isolate.
Can Full-Spectrum CBD Get You High?
Whether full-spectrum CBD oils or other full-spectrum products will get you high or not depends on the THC level. Most full-spectrum CBD products in the UK only have minute traces of THC that will not have any psychoactive effects.
However, CBD products from unreputable sources that have not been tested properly could have elevated levels of THC that could potentially cause a psychoactive effect. If in doubt, request a certificate of analysis (COA) to verify the THC content.
What's The Difference Between broad-spectrum CBD and Full-Spectrum CBD?
The definitions of different CBD products are not regulated in the UK and are often used quite loosely. However, broad-spectrum CBD products typically have all traces of THC removed from the final product, but the process of doing so also reduces the levels of other minor cannabinoids.
Some broad-spectrum CBD products still have an impressive range of additional cannabinoids. But in many cases, they just contain CBD with almost undetectable levels of other minor cannabinoids such as CBC or CBG.
Full spectrum CBD products typically have negligible, but still present (<0.05% with our products), levels of THC but also boast reasonable levels of a wide range of other cannabinoids. The wider range of compounds in the product leads to greater efficacy than broad-spectrum cbd.
How Does CBD Oil Work?
CBD oil is absorbed into the bloodstream through sublingual (under the tongue) glands in the mouth. Once in the blood, CBD begins to influence the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
The ECS is responsible for regulating a wide range of bodily functions such as sleep, pain, mood, appetite, and the immune system. Studies have found that CBD's interaction with this system can lead to a wide range of biological effects.
Most people find that CBD oil and other CBD products can have a positive impact on aspects such as general mood and well-being.
Is CBD Isolate Full-Spectrum?
No, CBD isolate is a refined powder consisting of pure CBD - normally over 98% pure. In contrast, full-spectrum CBD oils contain hundreds of additional bioactive compounds that can influence health and well-being.
Most people find full-spectrum CBD oil to be more potent than CBD oil made with pure CBD isolate or broad-spectrum CBD.
Is CBD Legal?
Is CBD oil legal in the UK? Yes, however, all CBD oils and other CBD food products must be approved for sale by the Food Standards Agency. Refined CBD extracts intended for consumption are currently classed as novel foods in the UK. The controlled substances act also states that legal CBD products must contain less than 1 mg of CBD per container.
What Is Third-Part Lab Testing?
Third-party lab testing is a process used to verify the contents of a CBD product such as CBD potency or THC content. Unlike in-house testing which is where the company who manufactures the product does the testing, third-party testing is done by a different company to reduce bias and ensure accurate results.
BROWN'S CBD products are regularly tested both in-house, and third-party tested to ensure the accuracy of test results and to ensure CBD potency.
Lab testing of cannabis-derived products normally verifies the cannabinoid contents, so that they contain the advertised levels of CBD and controlled cannabinoids below the legal threshold. It also checks that there are no contaminants such as pesticides or mould.
Do You Sell Full-Spectrum CBD Gummies?
We do indeed supply full-spectrum CBD gummies. These CBD gummies are made with a cannabinoid and terpene-rich, cold-pressed extract and have a delicious canna-lime flavour. They are also sugar-free and vegan friendly CBD edibles.
Can CBD Oil Be Used For Pain Relief, Depression, Anxiety, and Sleep?
As a food supplement/cosmetics company, we are legally permitted to recommend our hemp-derived CBD products for any medical conditions. There are currently no approved health claims for approved nonprescription CBD products.
If you are considering using CBD oils for any of the above issues, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional for specific advice about safety and CBD dosage.
What Are Carrier Oils?
A carrier oil is the oil with which CBD extracts are blended to make the final CBD oil product. Our full-spectrum CBD oils contain a blend of CBD-rich full-spectrum hemp extract and cold-pressed hemp seed oil.
Other carrier oils that are commonly used include olive and MCT oil. We prefer to use hemp seed oil due to its favourable omega fatty acids such as gamma linolenic acid.
Is Full Spectrum CBD Oil Better Than CBD Isolate?
CBD oil that is made with a full spectrum extract contains hundreds of beneficial hemp compounds, whereas those made with CBD isolate contain just one. Because of this, a full spectrum cbd product is far superior to one using CBD isolate.
How Many Compounds Does The Hemp Plant Produce?
There are over 200 active compounds that naturally occur in the cannabis plant. These are primarily different cannabinoids and terpenes. However, other cannabis compounds in the cannabis plant include polyphenols and chlorophyll.
Full spectrum CBD oil contains all of these active compounds that have their own unique benefits as well as enhancing CBD potency. Broad spectrum cbd products can also contain a wide range of cannabis compounds. However, as broad spectrum cbd is more refined, the levels will be lower.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic plant compounds that have a range of potential health benefits. They can be seen as the individual components that make up essential oils and are produced in abundance by the cannabis plant.
Full spectrum CBD oil, and some broad spectrum CBD, is rich in a wide range of terpenes such as beta-caryophyllene, limonene and linalool which complement the overall CBD oil benefits.
How Much CBD Oil Should I Take Per Day For Anxiety?
We cannot legally recommend our products for anxiety. The amount of CBD oil needed can vary from person to person depending on the intended use and factors such as body weight. It's best to start with a low dose and then gradually increase if necessary. Most people tend to use between 5 and 70 mg of CBD per day.
What Are The Potential Health Benefits Of Full Spectrum CBD Oil?
In supplement form, full spectrum cbd can have a calming effect on the body which can consequently improve general well-being and mood. However, CBD oil is also available as a medicine to help with a wide rage of medical issues.
If you intend to use CBD oil to help with a medical condition, please speak to your GP to determine if it is right for your personal situation.
Why Don't You Offer CBD Oil In A Bigger Bottle?
Our 10 ml CBD oil bottles help to keep the oil fresh and prevent the degradation of cannabinoids and terpenes. Leaving a big bottle of CBD oil open for longer may reduce its potency, so its best to use smaller bottles and keep them sealed.
Is Full Spectrum CBD Oil Suitable For Dogs?
It is currently illegal for companies to recommend any CBD oil or any other CBD product for animals. If you are interested in giving CBD oil to your dog, please talk to your vet for specialist advice. THC is potentially toxic for dogs, so always ensure that your CBD oil does not exceed the legal threshold.
Full Spectrum CBD Oil vs CBD Capsules
Full spectrum oil and CBD capsules can both be very effective, depending on the intended use. However, full spectrum CBD oils have a quicker onset time than full spectrum CBD capsules. By taking CBD drops under the tongue, the effects can usually be felt within 15 minutes, whereas capsules may take up to one hour.
