Full-spectrum tinctures. What are they? A tincture, as defined by the dictionary, is ‘…a medicine made by dissolving a drug in alcohol.” Although this is a pretty vague definition, it is accurate in some ways. When we talk about CBD tinctures it is not actually a medicine that is transformed by the use of alcohol, it is hemp.

CBD Tinctures
CBD tinctures are created from a process that involves heating ground up hemp plants then soaking the powder in a container of high-proof distilled alcohol. The hemp is picked then dried out. When it is ready it gets heated up to induce decarboxylation in order to activate the CBD. After this, the activated hemp is put into a vat of high-proof distilled alcohol. The alcohol extracts all of the cannabinoids, flavonoids, and other components from the hemp. After this, the remaining solution is vigorously strained and filtered so that all that remains is a high-quality CBD tincture that is ready for use.
Full-Spectrum
A full-spectrum CBD product is one that has all of the cannabinoids, flavonoids, and other botanical compounds of the hemp plant still intact after being extracted in the extraction process. This includes a small amount, 0.03%, of THC. There are over 100 other cannabinoids that exist and are present within a hemp plant. When all of these compounds are available within the tincture it becomes a full-spectrum tincture.
The Entourage Effect
When a person, or an animal, ingests a full-spectrum CBD product they will experience what is known as the entourage effect. What this means is that all of the cannabinoids, flavonoids, phytocannabinoids, and the rest of the botanicals come together and form an alliance that brings forth the ultimate wellness distribution. Each cannabinoid has its own characteristics that are exclusive to itself. When they all come together they form a whole. Just like an ingredient in a baked treat. An egg without the rest of the ingredients is just an egg. However, when you combine that egg with flour, sugar, and whatever else particulars that you prefer, you end up with a cake.
What Are CBD Isolate Tinctures?
A CBD isolate tincture is a tincture that is created without any other cannabinoids or flavonoids than CBD. There is absolutely no THC present. During the extraction process, all of the other compounds are neatly removed from the solution before they even have a chance to be available. With this process, the user will not have to worry about being exposed to THC. Some people are highly sensitive to THC, and some are worried that if THC is present in something that they consume it could give them a positive drug test.
