Entourage effect
Synergistic interplay of all hemp compounds for a reinforced overall effect.
The entourage effect describes the theory that the various compounds of the hemp plant — cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids — act synergistically and reinforce one another's effect.
This effect is the main argument for full-spectrum products over isolates. Studies suggest that the combined effect of all plant compounds can be greater than the sum of the individual effects.
Hemp Wholesale Europe offers both full-spectrum products, for the maximum entourage effect, and isolate-based products for other customer segments. Our training material explains the entourage effect on a sound scientific footing.
