Full Spectrum:

The Whole Plant Team (Maximized Synergy)

Full Spectrum Distillate is the "Whole Plant Team." The goal of this extract is to keep all the natural compounds that the hemp plant produced, providing the most robust therapeutic experience.

Feature Explanation
What's Inside?

CBD + The Whole Team. It contains CBD, plus a full profile of minor cannabinoids (like CBG and CBC), terpenes, and flavonoids.
The Synergy

The presence of all these compounds working together creates the "Entourage Effect." This suggests that the whole team provides a greater benefit than CBD alone.
THC Risk

Trace Amounts. By law, Full Spectrum extracts must contain THC or less. This level is non-intoxicating, but it is present.
Benefit

This is often considered the most effective type for internal use because the trace THC acts as a pharmacokinetic enhancer, helping your body absorb the CBD significantly better than THC-free options.


Maximizing Bioavailability and Synergy

The Power of the Whole Plant: Leveraging the Entourage Effect

For applications where systemic absorption and intensive, localized relief are the goals—such as internal consumption and intensive body treatments—Color Up utilizes Full Spectrum Winterized Oil to capture the maximum therapeutic return of the cannabis plant.

What is Full Spectrum Winterized Oil (FSWO)? FSWO is an extract that retains the comprehensive, native phytochemical profile of the hemp plant. This spectrum includes: 

Major and Minor Cannabinoids: Such as CBD, CBG, CBC, and CBN. 

Aromatic Terpenes and Flavonoids (which possess anti-inflammatory attributes). 

Trace Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC): Up to the federally compliant limit of  

The Critical Step: Winterization Before being bottled, our Full Spectrum extracts undergo Winterization. This necessary purification process involves chilling the crude oil and filtering out undesirable co-extracted fats, lipids, and waxes. This step ensures the oil is clean and consumable while preserving the full, synergistic profile of cannabinoids and terpenes.   

Efficacy: The Systemic and Localized Entourage Effect The complex composition of FSWO is designed to maximize the Entourage Effect, the scientific theory that plant compounds work synergistically to amplify the overall therapeutic benefit, leading to enhanced relief compared to isolated compounds. 

  • For Internal Wellness: The presence of trace THC is a crucial pharmacokinetic enhancer. Research demonstrates that the small, non-intoxicating levels of THC significantly improve CBD's absorption through the intestinal wall, leading to higher systemic bioavailability (up to 12-21% greater absorption) compared to THC-free alternatives. This makes Full Spectrum the optimal choice for maximizing systemic absorption and overall therapeutic efficacy.  

  • For Topical Body Relief: When applied in intensive body salves and occlusive body lotions, the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes interacts with the peripheral Endocannabinoid System (ECS) receptors near the application site. This localized Entourage Effect is highly valued for intensive management of muscle discomfort or chronic inflammation. 

The Verdict: Full Spectrum Winterized Oil is the choice for the consumer seeking the highest possible therapeutic return, leveraging the full, natural synergy of the plant for both internal and intensive external wellness.
