A NATURAL CONNECTION
How does it work?
The endocannabinoid system in the human body consists of small receptors that play a key role in regulating mood, pain and anxiety. The role of cannabinoids, such as CBD, is to bind and activate the receptors so that the function of the endocannabinoid system is enhanced.

THE ENTIRE PLANT
Full Spectrum
Full Spectrum is a hemp extract that contains all the cannabinoids in the plant, including THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid that causes the high.
- EXCLUDES THC
- SEQUITO EFFECT
ALL PLANT EXCEPT THC
Broad Spectrum
A hybrid between Full Spectrum and Isolated as we keep the entourage effect* of the Full Spectrum but we extract the THC. This causes that we get the maximum benefit and efficacy, but with more security, since we eliminate the psychoactive component.
- EXCLUDES THC
- SEQUITO EFFECT
CBD ONLY
Isolate
Isolate contains only CBD and is considered 4 times less effective than Full or Broad Spectrum because it lacks the other cannabinoids. Is your current oil Isolate? Ask a question.

What is the Endocannabinoid System?
The Endocannabinoid System is an intercellular communication system. Its function is to balance metabolic processes and improve the functions of our body. It is just another system, like the circulatory system, and consists of small receptors that play a key role in the regulation of mood, pain and anxiety. The function of cannabinoids, such as CBD, is to bind and activate the receptors to improve the function of the endocannabinoid system.
