Is all CBD the same?
CBD is sourced from hemp, but not all CBD is created equal. Full-spectrum CBD, derived from the cannabis plant, includes various natural extracts like terpenes and cannabinoids, with a permissible THC (hemp-derived) content of up to 0.3%.
On the other hand, broad-spectrum CBD also incorporates multiple cannabis plant compounds but typically eliminates hemp-derived THC entirely. Nonetheless, trace amounts of THC (hemp-derived) may occasionally be present in broad-spectrum CBD products.
The third form of CBD is CBD isolate, representing the purest form of CBD without any other cannabis plant compounds. Despite these distinctions, the terms “CBD” and related terminology lack strict regulation, allowing some manufacturers to use them interchangeably or incorrectly.
True Altitude sells CBD products that exclusively utilize Full Spectrum CBD due to its ability to maximize the entourage effect and offer a comprehensive range of benefits.
What is the entourage effect?
The Entourage Effect signifies that CBD exhibits enhanced effectiveness when combined with other cannabinoids and terpenes present in the hemp plant, including a trace amount of THC (hemp-derived), compared to its isolated form. For optimal benefits, consumers are encouraged to opt for full-spectrum CBD products.
How is CBD different from marijuana?
Though CBD is a natural element of cannabis, it doesn’t induce the psychoactive “high” that some might associate with cannabis. The CBD in products sold by True Altitude is sourced directly from the hemp plant, a close relative of marijuana. According to United States law, industrial hemp is characterized as cannabis with a hemp-derived delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of 0.3% or lower by dry weight.
What is the Endocannabinoid system?
The endocannabinoid system serves as a molecular mechanism that oversees and harmonizes various bodily processes, encompassing immune response, cell communication, appetite and metabolism, memory, and more. Research indicates that cannabinoids engage with the human body and induce positive effects through this system of receptors and metabolic enzymes.
What are terpenes?
Terpenes are the inherent compounds accountable for the distinct aromas and flavors found in all plants. Numerous terpenes, particularly those present in CBD, are thought to possess therapeutic properties that contribute to the plant’s overall impact on the body. One instance is Myrcene, a prevalent terpene in hemp plants, responsible for the earthy aroma. Its recognized relaxing properties are believed to be advantageous for addressing issues such as inflammation, pain, and insomnia. The collective presence of these and other terpenes in cannabis is what sets the plant apart in terms of its unique qualities.
What are CBD gummies?
CBD gummies are delectable treats infused with cannabinoids. CBD gummies are delectable treats infused with cannabinoids. CBD gummies contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC (hemp-derived), the well-known psychoactive compound in the cannabis plant and, therefore, do not induce an intoxicating “high”.
Reputable suppliers, such as E&E foods (distributor), meticulously control the CBD dosage in each gummy. This precision makes them an excellent choice for beginners, offering clarity on the amount of CBD consumed with each serving.
CBD gummies come in three main varieties:
- Full-spectrum CBD: This variant includes all the naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp plants, with less than 0.3% THC (hemp-derived) content.
- Broad-Spectrum CBD: Excluding THC (hemp-derived), broad-spectrum CBD contains all cannabinoids and terpenes from hemp plants, with most products labeled as having 0.0 percent THC (hemp-derived).
- CBD Isolate: Representing the purest form of CBD, CBD isolate contains no other hemp-derived cannabinoids or terpenes, and it is THC-free.
Some CBD gummies may also incorporate additional cannabinoids like cannabinol (CBN) and cannabigerol (CBG), as well as supplements like melatonin.
How does CBD work?
Within our bodies, there are two distinct cannabinoid receptors crucial for the seamless functioning of our internal systems. These receptors play a pivotal role in regulating processes such as pain, emotions, appetite, focus, memory, and immune system functions, among others. CBD collaborates with these receptors, facilitating the body’s innate ability to generate a range of potentially positive benefits. This universality in its effects is why studies have demonstrated CBD to be beneficial across a diverse spectrum of ailments.
Can I take CBD to help me sleep?
While there are studies indicating that CBD may have sleep-related benefits, we recommend conducting your own research, consulting with your doctor, and referring to testimonials for additional information. It’s worth noting that CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating sleep within the body.

Can I take CBD to help with anxiety or stress?
CBD engages with the endocannabinoid system, a regulator of anxiety and stress responses in the body. Ongoing research indicates that CBD might offer potential as a treatment for anxiety disorders, although more studies are needed. We recommend conducting your own research, consulting with your doctor, and referring to testimonials for additional insights. Our aspiration is that our products become a valuable part of your daily routine.

Will taking CBD products make me “high”?
The consumption or use of CBD by itself does not induce the psychoactive “high” commonly associated with (hemp-derived) THC.
What’s the difference between CBD isolate gummies and full-spectrum CBD gummies?
CBD isolate and full-spectrum gummies each come with their own set of advantages and drawbacks.
CBD isolate gummies are an ideal choice for individuals undergoing frequent drug tests. Consumption of CBD isolate gummies ensures that THC (hemp-derived) will not appear in their test results.
Conversely, full-spectrum CBD gummies offer distinct benefits. They encompass all the naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and compounds found in hemp, whereas CBD isolate gummies contain only CBD. Even in the case of full-spectrum gummies, the THC (hemp-derived) content is minimal and unlikely to induce a high.
Yet, the presence of all these elements in full-spectrum gummies enhances the likelihood of experiencing the synergistic effect known as the “entourage effect.” This theory suggests that the various compounds in hemp can produce a cooperative reaction in the human body, potentially amplifying the benefits of CBD gummies.
