Full Spectrum CBD Gummies for Children
CBD gummies are a popular new product that parents have began exploring for many ailments that their children are suffering from. Some concerns have arisen as to whether children can take Full Spectrum CBD as opposed to CBD Isolate. We’ll explain the differences between the two and whether or not it’s safe for children to consume Full Spectrum CBD.
What is CBD?
CBD, or Cannabidiol is a chemical compound found within the Cannabis plant. For medicinal purposes, it is usually extracted from a specific plant of the Cannabis family, the hemp plant. What differentiates the hemp plant from the marijuana plant, is that it contains less than 0.3% THC. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is the chemical compound that possesses psychoactive properties. Therefore this is the chemical responsible for the feeling of being “high”. However, when used together, CBD has the ability to offset the effects of THC.
It also possesses many health benefits and comes in a variety of forms such as capsules, oil, creams, paste, terpenes, gummies, etc. CBD Isolate means that only CBD was extracted and other Cannabinoids were removed, thus leaving a pure CBD product (99%). For Full Spectrum CBD, it will contain a low amount of THC, and may be a little stronger as it will have the two most prevalent Cannabinoids working together, CBD and THC; this version of CBD products are found to be the most effective when taken for various ailments.

CBD has anxiolytic properties, meaning that it reduces anxiety, and consequently stress. Stress is very detrimental to the way the function of our immune system, if our stress levels are too high we can make ourselves more susceptible to other health problems such as headaches, infections, and other diseases.
