What is Full Spectrum CBD oil?
L'CBD oil oil is attracting growing interest, both on social networks and in specialist outlets. But what exactly is this hemp-derived product? Is it really extracted from cannabis, and what is it used for?
In this article, we provide a clear and factual overview of CBD oil, its origin, uses and specific characteristics.
What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a molecule naturally present in the hemp plant(Cannabis sativa). It belongs to the cannabinoid family of active compounds that interact with the human endocannabinoid system.
Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no psychotropic effects. It does not induce euphoria or altered consciousness, making it a popular option for those seeking a natural approach to well-being, without psychoactive side effects.
CBD is attracting the interest of the scientific community for its potential action on physiological balance, notably in the regulation of stress, sleep and inflammation. Its non-addictive, well-tolerated profile makes it an increasingly popular product in the context of global health.
CBD vs THC: what are the differences?
CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are two cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant. Although they share a common origin, their effects and legal status are very different.
THC is the main psychoactive molecule in recreational cannabis. It acts on the central nervous system and can produce effects such as euphoria, altered perception and mood swings. Its concentration in so-called “classic” cannabis varieties can reach 12 to 25%. It is also this molecule which is at the root of the risk of dependency.
CBD, on the other hand, produces no psychotropic effects. It does not alter consciousness or cognitive functions, and is not addictive. It is mainly used for its soothing properties, relaxing effect and good tolerance profile.
In Belgium, as in most European countries, CBD is authorized under certain conditions, notably if the product contains less than 0.2% THC, in accordance with current regulations.
What is CBD oil?
CBD oil is a product formulated from a hemp extract concentrated in cannabidiol (CBD), one of the plant's main non-psychotropic cannabinoids. This extract is obtained by a specific extraction process - usually using supercritical CO₂ - which preserves the hemp's active compounds while eliminating impurities.
CBD oil is available in different concentrationsCBD oil is available in different concentrations, allowing users to tailor its use to their personal needs - whether for occasional support or daily use as part of general well-being.
What is Full Spectrum CBD oil?
A Full Spectrum CBD oil (is an oil containing all the active compounds naturally present in the hemp plant. This includes:
Cannabinoids: mainly CBD, but also others such as CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol) and even traces of THC, always within legal limits (less than 0.2%).
Terpenes: aromatic molecules responsible for hemp's fragrance and aroma.
Flavonoids: plant compounds.
This type of oil is appreciated for what is known as the entourage effect: a synergistic action between all the components of the plant, which optimizes the effectiveness of CBD.
Unlike broad spectrum oils (where the THC is completely removed) or isolates (where only the CBD is isolated), Full Spectrum retains the full natural profile of hemp, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a holistic, authentic approach.
The benefits of Full Spectrum CBD oil
Opting for a Full Spectrum oil means choosing a complete formula that exploits all the active components of the hemp plant, not just isolated CBD.
- A full spectrum of cannabinoids
In addition to cannabidiol (CBD), Full Spectrum oil contains other secondary cannabinoids such as CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol) and CBC (cannabichromene).
These molecules naturally interact with each other in the body to create a synergistic effect known as the entourage effect, which could enhance and balance the effects of CBD.
- A complete, harmonious oil
Thanks to its natural combination of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, Full Spectrum oil offers a more holistic approach to well-being, with potentially longer-lasting and more targeted effects.

Questions about our CBD oils?
What is CBD oil?
CBD oil is a substance derived from the hemp plant. It mainly contains cannabidiol(CBD), one of the many chemical compounds found in this plant. Unlike other compounds such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no psychoactive effects, which means it doesn’t alter your state of consciousness.
CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, then diluted in a carrier oil, usually hemp oil or other vegetable oils such as coconut or olive oil, to create the CBD oil you can find commercially.
What's the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate?
When it comes to CBD, there are three main types of extraction: full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate. Each of these types has distinct characteristics that influence their effect and use.
-
Full-spectrum CBD: This type of CBD oil contains all the natural compounds of the hemp plant, including terpenes, flavonoids, and THC in very small quantities (less than 0.2% in most legal products). The full spectrum enables the entourage effect, where all the compounds work together to enhance CBD’s effects.
-
Broadspectrum CBD: Broad spectrum CBD oil contains most of the compounds found in the hemp plant, but no trace of THC.
-
CBD isolate:Isolate is the purest form of CBD, containing only cannabidiol (100% CBD), with no other plant compounds, including THC, terpenes or flavonoids. It is often used by people seeking to benefit solely from the effects of CBD, without interference from other compounds.
At CannaHouse, we only offer full spectrum CBD oils that contain all the cannabinoids naturally present in the plant, providing an optimal entourage effect.
