Everybody’s newest favorite candies are full spectrum gummies. They look like regular gummies, so you can dose in public and on the go. Plus, they’ve got a full spectrum. What’s that? Dispensary budtenders break it down.
What are Full Spectrum Edibles?
The “full spectrum” indicates a product that contains all of its natural compounds. It also refers to the range of compounds themselves. Products like full-spectrum gummies deliver a more complete “entourage effect.”
This fuller, more natural range of compounds improves bioavailability, absorption and effectiveness. What types of compounds can you find in full-spectrum gummies? It depends on the type of product.
Healthful Compounds in Full Spectrum Edibles
Full spectrum edibles derived from hemp or cannabis contain cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Their most famous cannabinoids include CBD and THC. However, there are hundreds of other cannabinoids found in cannabis plants as well.
Similarly, there are many different terpenes and flavonoids. Terpenes and flavonoids give each strain of cannabis flower its unique color, aroma and tasting notes. Anecdotal evidence suggests that terpenes and flavonoids have calming effects upon the senses.
How to Dose With Full Spectrum Edibles
Even if you’re experienced, it’s always best to start with a small dose and asses tolerance. Today’s advanced extraction methods result in products that pack serious punches per serving. Everyone’s body responds differently to compounds within the spectrum, so take it slow.
Fortunately, full spectrum gummies come in a range of potencies and package sizes. There are even morning and evening gummies enhanced with energizing or calming ingredients. Tasty fruit-flavored vegan gummies are available as well.
