CBD or cannabidiol provides users with several benefits and treatment options for medical conditions such as anxiety and pain. CBD Isolate is the purest form of CBD available. It is popular among users who do not want to ingest tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
What is CBD Isolate
CBD Isolate is a form of CBD which is derived from the cannabis plant. Regular CBD may contain 0.3% or greater THC while CBD Isolate does not contain THC which means users do not experience psychoactive effects or the feeling of being high.
Unlike other CBD products, CBD Isolate comes in a crystalline solid or powder form that contains 99% pure CBD.
Since CBD Isolate does not contain THC, it should also be free of other cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes.
Cannabinoids – Naturally occurring compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant.
Terpenes – Terpenes are the aromatic compounds found in cannabis giving off a pine or orange scent.
Flavonoids – Flavonoids can be found in many plants, giving them their pigment. They have many therapeutic and anti-inflammatory effects.
CBD Isolate Effects
CBD Isolate has many of the same positive effects as other CBD products including the relief of stress and anxiety.
Many patients dealing with significant health issues such as cancer treatment, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease have demonstrated positive results from taking CBD.
- Anxiety
- Control chronic pain
- Treat anti-inflammatory diseases
- Treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease
A report by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America found the potential CBD benefits were “diverse” and consistent with the may have neuroprotective, antiepileptic, hypoxia-ischemia, anxiolytic, antipsychotic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic, and antitumor properties.
These effects are similar to those experienced with full-spectrum CBD use without the feeling of being high.
What Is Full Spectrum CBD?
Full-spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate are both extracts from the cannabis plant, full-spectrum or whole-plant cannabidiol oil contains higher concentrations of CBD as well as other cannabis components including Terpenes, Flavonoids, and THC.
Terpenes – Terpenes are the aromatic compounds found in cannabis giving off a pine or orange scent.
Flavonoids – Flavonoids can be found in many plants, giving them their pigment. They have many therapeutic and anti-inflammatory effects.
THC – THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that gives the feeling of being high.
Full-spectrum is one of the most natural ways of consuming CBD because it contains all of the cannabinoids of the cannabis plant. This combination means users experience a higher level of effectiveness and better results overall.
Full Spectrum CBD is not overly processed in the same way as CBD oil which means it can contain some or all of these compounds, giving users enhanced feelings of relief and calmness.
Studies have shown that full-spectrum CBD has a higher success rate than CBD Isolate, however patients who do not want the potential negative side-effects of full-spectrum should not let this deter them from trying CBD Isolate.
CBD Isolate Benefits and Uses
CBD Isolate does not appear to have the same board treatment effects of other CBD products or THC.
Studies have shown that CBD Isolate does show promise in the treatment of pain and swelling such as the
- Chronic back pain– Age or injury-related back pain that is both persistent and debilitating
- Arthritis The swelling of joints in the body can lead to pain, stiffness, and deformity of the hands, feet, spine.

CBD Isolate Side Effects
How To Use CBD Isolate
CBD Isolate offers many options for consumption. The fine powder makes it easy to create both custom CBD oil and topicals. Mixing it with a carrier oil, such as medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil or olive oil will allow you to develop your own forms of ingestion such as oils and topical creams.
Most users, however, take CBD Isolate sublingually by placing the powder directly under the tongue and holding for approximately one minute. This allows for the CBD Isolate to be absorbed into the bloodstream avoiding the digestive system and liver which may filter out beneficial compounds.
Some users choose inhalation of CBD Isolate through the use of a vape of dabber. Mixing it with terpenes will give it an enhanced flavour for added enjoyment.
Ingestion is another popular form of consumption. The powder created through the extraction process allows for consumption through capsules or pills. This is also the most effective way to ensure proper dosage. Since CBD Isolate is not absorbed well through the digestive system it is not recommended to mix it with food.
Remember to always store CBD Isolate in a cool dry place. CBD Isolate that has been mixed with oils or lotions should be used as quickly as possible.
Side Effects
Users should not experience any significant side effects from CBD Isolate use. Some people may experience sleepiness, dry mouth or nausea. Consult with your physician if you have any underlying health issues or are taking medication.
How is CBD Isolate Made?

After the removal of all plant matter and the remaining compounds go through the filtration and distillation process, you are left with
