Choosing the right extract
Hemp Extract sales has grown at an incredible rate over the past few years, with millions of adults now using it regularly.
With so many brands to choose, how do you know what should you be looking for?
Here are a few tips to help you choose the right Hemp Extract for your needs.
Which type of Hemp Extract is right for you?
Isolate
Hemp Extract in its simplest, purest form. As the name suggests, CBD is isolated from the plant without any of the other compounds.
Broad Spectrum
This has more of the hemp plant’s benefits without the psychoactive compound THC. This contains everything but the THC, including terpenes and minor cannabinoids, which have their own health benefits. These products may also be labeled as “0% THC".
Full Spectrum
These products use the cannabis plant’s full profile of active ingredients, including small amounts of THC (under 0.3%) but not enough to induce a feeling of being “high.”
Always compare prices
Many brands charge 4-5x more due to elaborate marketing gimicks and celebrity endorsements. Who's paying for that?
Higher cost does not mean its a better product. Conversely, if the price seems too good to be true, it usually is... poor quality, contaminated raw materials, low-grade solvents, and additives.

Hemp Extract vs. Hemp Seed Oil
One of the biggest problems is the confusion between Hemp Extract and Hemp Seed Oil.
Hemp Extract
Extracted from the stalks, stems, and flowers of the cannabis plant, these contain a higher concentration of Cannabinoids and Terpenes, which have numerous potential health benefits.
Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp Seed Oil derives from the seeds of the Cannabis plant. The seeds do not contain Cannabinoids, but they still have a rich profile of nutrients, fatty acids, and useful bioactive compounds.
Home-Grown, Contaminant-Free Hemp
Cannabis plants absorb their nutrients from the soil and water, which means they can also absorb any undesirable chemicals and pesticides. If you want pure, safe CBD, you need it to come from equally pure and safe hemp plants. 100% made in the USA.
