Full-Spectrum CBD Soft Gels

“Full-spectrum” CBD and CBDA soft gels are soft gels that contain all of the cannabinoids and terpenes found in that strain of hemp. If the product contains CBDA that means the CBD oil has not been heated or decarboxylated and is in its least processed state.

Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabidiol (CBD) are two different compounds found in the cannabis plant, which refers to both hemp and marijuana. Although both compounds are related and offer potential health benefits, they have some key differences:

Precursor relationship: CBDA is a precursor to CBD, meaning that CBD is formed when CBDA is exposed to heat or sunlight through a process called decarboxylation. During decarboxylation, the carboxyl group of CBDA is removed, converting it into CBD

Presence in the plant: In the raw cannabis plant, CBDA is found in higher concentrations than CBD. It is typically found in the trichomes of the plant, which are the hair-like structures on the surface of the plant. When the plant material is heated or aged, CBDA is converted into CBD.

Biological activity: CBDA and CBD interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) differently. CBD primarily interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the ECS, which are found in the brain and throughout the body, respectively. CBDA, on the other hand, does not directly bind to these receptors. Instead, it is thought to interact with other targets, such as the COX-2 enzyme, which is involved in inflammation and soreness response.
