Natural substances such as CBD have been used for thousands of years and research suggests that they may be more effective in their whole and natural state.

What is the Entourage Effect?

The entourage effect refers to the full-bodied experience that occurs when cannabinoids, terpenes flavonoids and other compounds work synergistically to magnify the intended effects, as opposed to one or two of these compounds working in isolation. You will not experience the entourage effect with CBD isolate. The full benefits of the entourage effect are still being studied.
