CBD Isolate is the Purest and Most Flexible form of Cannabidiol
In terms of purity and potency, nothing comes close to CBD isolate. CBD isolate is 99+% pure cannabidiol with all other plant compounds removed. It can take the form of a crystalline solid or a powder, making it highly flexible for different methods of consumption and use. From sublingual tinctures to edibles and oils, CBD isolate is suitable for virtually any kind of application.
CBD isolate provides many benefits. Since it’s pure CBD, it contains no THC and causes no psychoactive side effects (aka, a high). Isolate is also free of any other phytocannabinoids or unwanted plant matter. This makes it odorless and tasteless, so you can add it to foods and beverages without affecting their flavor or lotions and balms without altering their fragrance.
The easiest way to use CBD isolate is to simply place it in your mouth and let it dissolve. But if you’re feeling more adventurous, it’s a breeze to add isolate to a juice or smoothie after a workout, put it in your coffee or tea for a soothing pick-me-up, or infuse your favorite recipe.
Taking that DIY spirit one step further, you can even create your own lotions, salves, balms or other topicals with cannabidiol isolate.
You can use CBD isolate in just about anything, because it has the benefit of being very easy to dose. Unlike broad-spectrum or full-spectrum products, which combine cannabidiol with oils and other ingredients, isolate makes it easy to measure the exact amount of CBD you need.
If you’re a regular CBD consumer, isolate can be the best investment in your health, in the long run. Because of its purity and potency, you can typically get more cannabidiol in an isolate than you would with other forms of CBD.
The best CBD isolate products will contain fully decarboxylated cannabidiol. Decarboxylation “activates” the inactive acidic form of cannabidiol (CBDA) to make it more bioavailable for your body. This means you don’t have to heat CBD isolate to make it work. In fact, heating isolate can reduce its potency.
Overall, the flexibility and purity of CBD isolate means you can use it to help improve any aspect of your health and wellness. CBD isolate makes it easy to dose clinically significant amounts of cannabidiol. High doses of CBD work best to help reduce inflammation, soothe pain and discomfort and promote mental health.
