If you use, sell or recommend the use of CBD Oils, which type do you use or recommend and why?

Thank you for the many responses I received to my previous question, "Do you use CBD OIL? These responses lead me to a related question. Anyone is welcome to respond. If you use, sell or recommend the use of CBD Oils, which type do you use or recommend and why? Full Spectrum? Broad Spectrum? CBD Isolate? I am including even Hemp Seed Oil in my request for information. Thank you.

Great question.
At MOVIDA, we use Full Spectrum Oils and CBD Isolates with great success.

We stay away from hemp oil and have yet to see any truly THC free broad spectrum oils.

For those new to CBD, I'll briefly describe the difference between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and Isolates.

The first extraction of oil from the hemp plant results in what is know as a crude oil. It contains CBD, other naturally occurring Cannabinoids and other plant matter...

Further refinement of the oils through distillation and isolation results in the following...

Full Spectrum CBD Oil: Contains a high amount of CBD, as well as other Cannabinoids, including THC... And, possibly Terpenes, depending on the extraction method and solvents used. This is generally most desirable oil because of what is know as the "Entourage Effect", getting the total Cannabinoid and Terpene profile for maximum effect. However, consumers may test positive for THC on a drug test if they use the oil on a consistent basis. Legal full spectrum CBD oils will have .3 percent THC or less. This is the preferred oil, but those that get drug tested for their job or livelihood would want to stay away from this oil

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil: Similar to Full Spectrum CBD, but the THC has been remediated "removed". The CBD and other Cannabinoids are supposed to be present, while the THC is "not"... This oil is very desirable at the present moment, but there are 2 drawbacks that I see. 1. The price is very high compared to the other Full spectrum oils and isolates. 2. I have not found a Broad Spectrum Oil that truly had all the THC removed. In fact, the standard definition is .1 percent or less of THC in the oil. So there are detectable amounts of THC in the oil and it is still possible to test positive on a drug test. This oil is more of a marketing play right now, than anything else.

CBD Isolate: CBD Isolate is the pure isolated CBD molecule. Everything has been removed until just the Pure CBD crystals remain. CBD Isolate was originally the most sought after CBD. But, as time went on, the tide changed to Full Spectrum and total cannabinoid profile in the oil. Note: Making pure CBD Isolate is an art form. When done right, it's amazing.

At MOVIDA, the majority of our success stories come from our community members that use our Pure Crystalline CBD Isolate products.

Many people don't like THC and others get drug tested. These are the clients that enjoy our CBD isolate products.

Others, especially those with more severe situations (me), rely on the Full Spectrum oils due to the increased nutrition found in the other Cannabinoids.

Note: Everything matters when it comes to the effectiveness of a CBD or Hemp product.

The types of seeds used.
The Farming Practices.
The Extraction Methods.
The Solvents Used.
The Product Formulations.

It all matters...

Personally, I'm what's know as Patient Zero for our Company.

After going blind due to Glaucoma, I was able to get my vision back with Cannabis oil formulations I created and halt a lifetime of skull-crushing migraines.

Note: I've been managing my Glaucoma with high CBD oils for 7 years now. I am not cured. If I stop taking my oils, my vision starts to break apart in one day and I go blind in less than week.

So, I depend on our products as much or more than any of our community members.

With 33 years in Alternative & Holistic Health, I understand the great responsibility involved with running a supplement company.

Our clients depend on us and we do everything we can to care for them, so they can get healthy, stay healthy, and live the life they were meant to live.

Hope this answer helps...

I use and sell CBD oil and CBD products. My go-to recommendation is always full-spectrum with a lower entry-point concentration for total newbies. For instance, I sell Hempworx and Farmacopeia. Hempworx starts at 500 mg/30 ml. I consider that a good starting point to try CBD. While we all have cannabinoid receptors in our bodies, responses can vary. So, "low and slow" is the best approach along with microdosing - increasing very slowly, looking for that "sweet spot"where you are using the least amount of oil for optimal result. Keep in mind, too, that "broad spectrum" aka THC "free" may not be completely free of that cannabinoid. It is likely present but in such minute amounts that current product testing will not pick it up. When you check the company's C of A the result for THCa will be low or ND, same for THC.  But if you get drug tested for work, there may be enough in there to release a THC metabolite into your urine or blood and ping positive. In that case, I recommend CBD isolate, which works but in my experience, not as well as a full spectrum product, which benefits from the entourage effect of all the compounds present in the hemp extract. For instance, there is research that terpenes, the compounds that give plants their smell and taste, work with the cannabinoids on seizures. If treating for seizures in people or pets, I would suggest a full spectrum product. 

Hemp seed oil contains no CBD, but has its own healthful properties, including Omegas and EFAs. I love hemp hearts. Good source of protein, too. Nice nutty flavor.

I sell CTFO so I am biased of course. If you are looking to compare brands the first thing you should check is the ingredients list. CTFO CBD oils has hemp oil and flavoring, that’s it.  Next check if there have been lab testing done to prove if and how much CBD IS IN THE OIL.  NBC news recently conducted a study and found some companies had zero cbd and a list of companies less CDB than advertised.  Next google top rated CBD oils on the market, read reviews and see if there is a fee return if unsatisfied with your product. Keep in mind the first oils you try might not work immediately so don’t give up, increase your strengths or try full spectrum or isolate.  You will notice a difference.  CTFO has its own patented process, one is 10x full spectrum, which I use for my trigeminal nerve pain, and 10x Gold, which I tried and knew almost immediately was not going to workfor me.

Do your homework and I hope you find the oil that works for you.  



I use, sell, and recommend. Full spectrum is best. The research is not conclusive, but anecdotal data (and personal experience) certainly suggest that maximum benefits are found w/FS.  Pharmacologically, this makes sense, but the explanation would take up waaay too much space. I've had patients stabilized on FS, changed to a brand that "puts them [terpenes] back in" and her pain returned. I also prefer FS for my own use, which is primarily for neuropathic-type pain.

I sell CTFO change the future outcome CBD products.  I have researched different types and love this product that is pharmaceutical grade. Check out my website https://MyCTFOCBD.com/thostetler 

I am a CBD educator with Kannaway. Our products are Non-GMO, triple lab tested, European grown on 100% virgin hemp soil, free of pesticides, toxins, lead, and mold with a Certificate of Analysis. We offer a wide variety of CBD products: full spectrum (the full plant with .3% THC), broad spectrum (the full plant with THC removed to non-detectable levels), and CBD isolate (CBD only) in oil, capsule, paste, or topical forms.

Kannaway’s Pure Gold became the first CBD product to ever be included among the prescribing guidelines provided in the U.S. Prescribers’ Digital Reference when the product was added to the 2019 edition of the important healthcare resource. The Prescribers’ Digital Reference or “PDR” (known in its physical form as the Physicians’ Desk Reference) delivers comprehensive and innovative knowledge on the health industry’s products and services to support the prescribing decisions of health professionals.

I use the Premium Hemp Oil applicator daily. This is the ideal choice for anyone looking to take advantage of the cannabinoid and nutrient packed natural hemp profile. Premium Hemp Oil is a full-spectrum combination of raw and decarboxylated hemp oils, extracted from the hemp plant and packaged without additives. Providing 50 mg of CBD per serving with 1500 mg of CBD per tube, Premium Hemp Oil is an excellent source of CBD and CBDa, as well as essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and other trace cannabinoids.

Kannaway's purpose is not just selling CBD but education and providing access to CBD for all that need it through its support of ECHO.

Copaiba is a very powerful anti-inflammatory but it is different from CBD and how it interacts in the body or how the body can put it to use. Copaiba has a single pathway, through terpene beta-caryophyllene to act on inflammation and pain through the ECS on only CB2 receptors. You need a long chain triglyceride which happens to be Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil....It’s right that it should be the oil of the seed, CBD derives from to deliver a nutraceutical CBD to CB1 and CB2 receptors activating them fully and equally.


you need FULL spectrum oil, all 120 cannabinoids must be present to experience all the benefits CBD can give. When you start extracting cannabinoids you greatly diminish and reduce the power of this plant. You also need an extraction process that uses CO2 extraction methods but there are two forms of CO2 extraction, subcritical extraction is what you need/want it doesn’t degrade the oil as supercritical does. It’s more expensive but uses cooler temps it takes longer, yields less but creates the most nutraceutical quality oil. 
CBD is amazing it has transformed my daughters life but it must be nutraceutical and fully vetted. Our brand is the only brand that meets the quality standards everyone especially children need. 
I hope this is helpful. I’m happy to help clarify anything that might be confusing. I’m also teaching CBD 101 Class tomorrow to unpack all of this more clearly. I’d love for you to come. 

There's a lot of debate with terminology in the industry of CBD. I'm proud to represent a company that is the first CBD member of the United Natural Products Alliance  (UNPA). UNPA is known and respected for for its unparalleled expertise in national and international regulatory and legislative issues.  Many researchers and scientists all have their own way of defining Isolate, Full Spectrum, and Broad Spectrum CBD and through studies I've learned that each carry it's own potential benefits. I personally have chosen and use Isolate CBD, which contain no THC. Instead of utilizing the benefits that THC has been known to factor I have chosen another route for inflammation and relaxation by utilizing ZuRI CBD products with terpenes. I work with the public and participate in my church's children's ministry so I have made the choice to eliminate THC from the holistic route of CBD and it's been for me. If anyone is interested in more personal explanation for variety of benefits contact me directly I'd love to be able to share what I know.

I use Hempworx brand, I sell and recommend it as well.  It's the purest CBD oil you can get.  It only has 2 ingredients in it.  Pressed hemp seed oil, CBD -rich whole hemp extract.  A 3rd ingredient if you want a flavoring.  We natural, peppermint, and cinnamon.  Our bottles have 250mg beef flavor for your pets, 500, 750 & 1500 mg for us humans.  Cost of our products are much less expensive than the not so good oils that you can get at the health food stores, gas stations, smoke shops, etc.  We have THC & THC-free available.  Also many other brand new products, body lotion, shampoo & conditioner, hair mask & serum, pet treats, CBD infused instant coffee & keto creamers, pain relief & skin creams, essential oils & so much more.  Email me with any questions.  Hope this helps. 

I sell CBD products and I love this company. They have done and continue to do their research but they truly care about what they sell. They aren't concerned with making billions of dollars. They care about the people they are selling to and the positive outcomes each client can achieve. Here is my page you can visit and when you have questions about specific products, you can contact me through my page. I will respond promptly. I recommend reading each product description because your needs are not the same as mine or as others. Thank you and have a good day,
