What is CBD Isolate? | What Is CBD Isolate Used For?

With all the new CBD products on the market, it can be confusing to decipher what products are best for you and your situation.

This form of CBD can be found as an oil, in gummies, in softgels, and topicals. This article explains what CBD isolate is and how it is different from other forms of CBD available today.

What is CBD Isolate?

CBD isolate contains only the cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD). Most other CBD forms contain additional cannabinoids and natural compounds like terpenes and flavonoids that are retained during the extraction process.

The extraction process for most CBD products begins the same, yet there are additional steps that CBD must go through before it becomes an isolate.

The first step in making CBD isolate starts with CO2 extraction. This process utilizes high pressure and low temperature to extract CBD and other minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the Cannabis sativa plant (hemp plant).

These extracts are then used in a process called winterization, which separates CBD from the other cannabinoids and compounds withdrawn from the hemp plant during extraction.

Winterization utilizes alcohol and freezing temperatures to isolate CBD until it has formed a white, crystalline powder. This powder comprises 99-100% pure CBD, making CBD isolate the purest form of CBD on the market.

CBD isolate does not have all the additional natural compounds that other CBD forms may have, but it still offers many therapeutic benefits.

In most cases, the benefits offered with CBD isolate are more focused than other forms of CBD. Using a CBD isolate allows your body to experience all the benefits that only CBD can provide.

Is CBD isolate the same as CBD Oil? 

CBD isolate is not the same as CBD oil. CBD oil typically contains either Broad Spectrum or Full Spectrum CBD, which means more than just CBD present in the oil.

It is important to read the product label or description before purchasing CBD oil to ensure that you are getting the product you want.

Although CBD isolate is not the same as CBD oil, it can still be sold as an oil rather than a powder.

When CBD isolate is sold as an oil, it means the CBD isolate powder has been mixed with a carrier oil, usually MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil.

What is the difference between CBD Isolate, Broad Spectrum CBD, and Full Spectrum CBD? 

CBD Isolate only contains 99-100% pure CBD separated and isolated from other natural compounds of the hemp plant. CBD isolate offer very focused therapeutic results.

Broad Spectrum CBD contains CBD and all the other natural plant compounds of the hemp plant, excluding THC.

Broad Spectrum CBD can be expected to have terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, fatty acids, and complex vitamins found naturally in the hemp plant. These additional compounds often tend to enhance the effects of CBD.

Full Spectrum CBD contains CBD and all the other natural plant compounds of the hemp plant, including THC.

Full Spectrum CBD offers all the same benefits as Broad Spectrum CBD, but it may also have a psychoactive effect due to the presence of THC.

What are the benefits of CBD Isolate?

Because CBD isolate is more pure and potent than other CBD forms, there are several additional benefits it may provide.

1. CBD isolate is flavorless and odorless. Most CBD products have a characteristic earthy taste or smell due to natural terpenes present in the hemp plant.

These terpenes are separated and removed from CBD during winterization, which means that CBD isolate does not have a taste or smell.

CBD isolate is a good choice for those who are unsure of the earthy smell and taste of other CBD products or for those who are new to CBD and are worried about the taste or smell.

2. CBD does not contain THC. CBD isolate goes through a lengthy extraction and separation process to ensure no other compounds besides CBD are present in the final product.

CBD isolate is a good choice for those who want to try CBD but are concerned about the psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol or THC.

It is also a good choice for those who are wanting to experience the benefits of CBD but are worried about whether they can pass a drug test while taking it. Learn more about CBD and drug tests here.

3. CBD isolate makes it easy for you to set your own doses. The strength of CBD you should take is different for everyone. Each bottle of CBD contains a specific amount of CBD per serving.

For example, a typical 300mg bottle of CBD oil contains 10mg of CBD per serving. Someone who takes 10mg of CBD per serving may experience similar health benefits compared to another taking 50mg of CBD.

The amount of CBD needed is entirely up to the needs of the consumer. Because everyone is different, it is helpful to have a way to set a dose that works how you need it to.

CBD isolate allows you to work with smaller doses until you reach the strength that works best for you.

If you already know what strength works best for you, then CBD isolate allows you to measure it out and take it in whatever way provides you with the most benefits.

4. CBD isolate can be used in several different ways. If you are looking for a new way to take CBD, an isolate is a great place to start.

CBD isolate oil or powder can be added to your favorite drinks (teas, coffees, smoothies, shakes, etc.), added to your favorite food dishes, or mixed with your topical lotions or creams. There are several ways to enjoy the benefits of CBD isolate.

What can I make with CBD Isolate?

One of the most amazing benefits of using CBD isolate is its versatility. Being flavorless and odorless makes it easy to add CBD isolate to almost any recipe. Here are some of the best ways to use CBD isolate in recipes:

Bake with CBD: Next time you make cookies, brownies, cupcakes, pie, or any other sweet treat, toss in some CBD isolate for additional health benefits!

The easiest way to add CBD isolate to your baked goods is to incorporate it with butter or cooking oil.

To do this, you will want to slowly stir the CBD isolate powder into your cooking oil or butter over low heat until the powder completely dissolves.

When baking with CBD, it's important to keep in mind what dosage you are looking for.

For example, if you plan to make 24 cookies with 10mg of CBD per cookie, you will need to add 240mg of CBD to the entire recipe (24 cookies x 10mg per cookie = 240mg total).

It is also important to pay attention to the baking temperature. CBD should not be exposed to temperatures above 320-350 degrees Fahrenheit.

After baking, store your baked goods in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to make sure they stay fresh.

Cook with CBD: CBD shouldn't be exposed to high temperatures, but that doesn't mean you can't add CBD isolate to some of your favorite homemade dishes!

Enjoy the benefits of CBD isolate by adding it to sauces, dressings, soups, or anything else you set your mind to.

CBD smoothies, shakes, and other drinks: One of the easiest ways to incorporate CBD isolate into your diet is to throw it into your morning drink.

Add your desired dosage into your fruit smoothie or protein shake, blend it up, and enjoy. CBD isolate can also be added to teas, coffees, or hot chocolate.
