A “Full Spectrum”, or “Whole-Plant” extract has the full complement of cannabinoids as well as other non-psychoactive compounds versus a CBD isolate, which is just CBD. What this means is that an isolate alone does not provide the other benefits that you can get when additional cannabinoids are present. The overall effects from the combined modulation of the whole plant compounds serve to blend the mix of natural cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids together to create a stronger therapeutic effect.
