One of the most popular forms of CBD to emerge from the market’s recent boom has continued to be full spectrum CBD. But what is full spectrum CBD, and what makes it more appealing? The folks at NuSachi put our heads together and picked our top 6 things most people don’t know about full spectrum gummies:

CBD gummies that are made with full spectrum hemp extract use the whole plant

Full spectrum CBD gummies give your customers all the good the plant has to offer. “Whole-plant CBD” is often used interchangeably with “full spectrum CBD” because it’s derived from the entire raw hemp plant and contains all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids naturally produced in said plant. 

47% of consumers prefer full spectrum CBD gummies over isolate

According to statistics collected in 2020 by the Brightfield Group, when asked which spectrum they prefer, only 8% of CBD consumers said they preferred CBD isolate. Only 19% preferred broad spectrum, and a whopping 47% of consumers said they chose full spectrum CBD products. Some consumers may still be hesitant about the THC content of full spectrum hemp products due to employers who require routine or random drug screenings that may test for THC, but their numbers seem to be dwindling. 

Full spectrum CBD gummies are non-intoxicating

While full spectrum gummies do contain THC, they are only legally allowed to contain less than 0.3%. As a result, full spectrum gummies are classified as psychoactive but not psychotropic or intoxicating. You can ensure that your full spectrum CBD supplier meets (or exceeds!) purity and potency regulations by checking their Certificate of Analysis (CoA).

CBD Full Spectrum gummies contain more than 100 known cannabinoids

Cannabis developers, growers, and scientists are still discovering new compounds in the hemp plant, but we know that whole-plant CBD has over 100 naturally occurring cannabinoids.  

While more research is required, many point to a phenomenon called “the entourage effect” in full spectrum CBD as a major benefit. Limited studies have theorized that the interaction between all these different cannabinoid compounds can work in synergy to improve the overall effect and duration of the hemp product. 

Whole plant CBD gummies have amazing antioxidants 

Cannabinoids act as antioxidants in the human body, chemicals that fight oxidative stress and the cellular damage it causes. Antioxidants can protect against free radicals, which have been linked to a number of illnesses. 

Because full spectrum CBD uses the whole plant and all its naturally occurring cannabidiol types, you can truthfully tell your consumers they’re getting better antioxidant content in their gummies compared to isolate or defined spectrum products. 

Full Spectrum CBD Gummies are Minimally Processed 

Since full spectrum hemp products don’t require the intense extra manufacturing steps that broad spectrum or CBD isolate do, they’re preferred by some consumers and cannaseurs as a more “natural” option.
