WHAT IS THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT?

The entourage effect is a desirable result from products that contain full spectrum extracts, as CBD in combination with other natural compounds found in cannabis is known to be more effective than when used alone. Scientists also like to use the phrase "synergistic effect of multiple components", which has a similar meaning: multiple compounds have a more powerful effect when used together than when using single compounds.

As you probably already know, there are many compounds found in the hemp plant besides CBD. There are also many other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids that play a vital role in creating the entourage effect.

But let's explore the science of the entourage effect further.

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS?

Before we begin it is important to know that the cannabis plant contains more than 400 types of molecules, including 100 cannabinoids and a range of terpenes, in various quantities. Therefore, the whole concept of the entourage effect is difficult to scientifically test.

The term entourage effect was first used by a group of scientists in 1998 when they investigated how inactive glycerol esters of endogenous fatty acids enhance cannabinoid activity. Later, in 2011, a scientist named Ethan B. Russo published an article on the potential synergy of cannabis and the effects of the phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage. He concluded that selective breeding of cannabis chemotypes rich in phytocannabinoids and enhancing terpenoids offers complementary pharmacological activities that could strengthen and broaden clinical applications and improve the therapeutic index of cannabis extracts containing THC or other basic phytocannabinoids such as CBD.

According to its proponents, the group dynamics of the entourage effect can create emergent properties that would otherwise not be present in pure CBD and THC. Many who work closely with cannabis believe that the entourage effect can greatly increase the usefulness of CBD by amplifying its known effects. 

HOW TO REACH IT?

Basically, by using full spectrum CBD oil you will get a full range of different cannabinoids that bind to receptors in your body. This enhancement of your endocannabinoid system is the entourage effect. If you are used to isolating only CBD and feel there is more to CBD, we really suggest you try full spectrum CBD oil. 

At PharmaHemp we believe that the entourage effect is the most potent in the CBD industry, which is why our extensive range of CBD oil drops are full spectrum. You can choose from very different CBD drops, with different carrier oils, vitamins and more ... 

CBD drops with different carrier oils

Our CBD OIL DROPS are made with premium CBD extract which is diluted in various carrier oils such as MCT, olive, grape seed and hemp seed.

Water soluble CBD drops

Water Soluble CBD Drops are an oil-in-water concentrated emulsion, produced by combining purified CO₂-extracted hemp resin with natural emulsifiers. Our formulations contain a variety of active ingredients such as vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts for balance and better well-being.

Emulsion formulations have also become popular especially those that contain oil-soluble substances such as vitamins A, D, E and K. These oily vitamins are much more effective if we use them in a water-soluble formulation. This means that the effect of the same dose increases when the oil is transformed into a water-soluble formulation. Or, as scientists like to say, improved water solubility increases the bioavailability of an oily substance.

Premium CBD Drops

These products contain a high concentration of CBD, a wide range of other cannabinoids and bioactive compounds that create an entourage effect. 
The products have a particularly low level of THC (<0.05% by weight).
