CBD Isolate is a crystalline, flavorless CBD powder that is over 99% pure. All of the hemp plant matter, including oils, waxes, chlorophyll, and more, has been removed from the isolate. The high level of purity permits extremely accurate dosing. Lacking any flavor of its own, CBD isolate can be easily added to products without altering their existing flavor profiles.

CBD isolate is a crystalline solid or powder comprising pure CBD. It is different from full-spectrum CBD products, which can legally contain up to 0.3%Trusted Source THC. This amount may show up on a drug test, but it will not cause a high.

To produce CBD isolate, manufacturers use various processes to extract all the compounds and other substances from the cannabis plant, including THC. The process leaves behind pure CBD in crystal form.

Manufacturers may then grind the crystals into a powder to make the product easier to consume. CBD isolate does not have a distinctive smell or taste.

Effects

CBD works by acting on the cannabinoid receptors in the human body. These receptors exist because the human body produces its own cannabinoids, which may influence several bodily functions, including:

• appetite
• memory
• mood
• pain perception
• inflammation levels

Researchers believe that CBD does not attach directly to these receptors, but that it influences them in some way. As a result of this receptor activation, CBD exerts its effects on the human body.

Pain and inflammation relief

People often use CBD to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions and types of pain, including:

• arthritis pain
• cancer pain
• chronic back pain
• fibromyalgia
• neuropathic pain

While CBD isolate may provide pain relief, research indicates that a full-spectrum CBD product may be even more effective because cannabidiol acts synergistically with THC to boost its analgesic effects.
