Dr. Lisa’s Whole Spectrum™ products are just better–I wouldn’t have my name on it otherwise.
Get the benefits of the WHOLE PLANT, not just part of it.
The Whole Spectrum™ Extraction method is a brand new, patent-pending, chemical free technology. By using energy instead of chemicals or CO2, the integrity of the hemp plant is preserved. The final product contains CBD+ the major and minor cannabinoids + terpenes + flavonoids + omega fatty acids to provide the most complete medicinal CBD products available anywhere!
In the cannabis world, we call this the “Entourage Effect”– all of the components of the plant help the CBD work better (synergy). Up until recently, the best extractions produced about 60% Entourage Effect–these products are extracted with petrochemicals–called “Full Spectrum CBD”. Whole Spectrum™ products deliver a 99% Entourage Effect without any chemical residue.
The concept of the “Entourage Effect” was first elucidated by Dr. Mechoulam in 1998 (1). Our endogenous cannabinoids interact directly and indirectly with our cannabinoid receptors. They are also accompanied by an “entourage” of other compounds that help them perform better—synergy (2).I like to use a football analogy to illustrate this concept to my patients. CBD is the quarterback, the main focus of the team. However, CBD can’t win the football game alone. CBD needs his entire team behind him to score and win the game. There are over 150 known cannabinoids and we are learning more about them every day.
When choosing a CBD product, you can choose a CBD isolate (a highly processed product) that leaves all of the other “team members” behind (only the quarterback). Then there are Broad Spectrum and Full Spectrum products which contain the quarterback and some of the team members.
These are good choices, but why not choose the best and most complete team out there? With Dr. Lisa’s Whole Spectrum™ CBD products, you get the whole team working for you!!
More about how it’s made:
As a physician, my mantra is to do no harm. I love to help people with safe and effective whole plant solutions whenever possible, but I certainly do not want a patient to be unintentionally harmed by a product that is contaminated. I also want to recommend the best products available for my patients for best clinical results!
“We believe nature knows best, so our mission is simple. Deliver EVERYTHING valuable from the original plant into a finished good. In order to accomplish this mission, we had to think outside the box. Common extraction methods (ethanol, CO2, hydrocarbons) couldn’t meet our lofty demands, so we created our own. One rooted in physics instead of chemistry. One that uses no solvents, chemicals, harsh temperatures, extreme pressures or anything that damages or leaves behind nature’s best.”
Introducing… Cellular Deconstruction™ Technology (CDT).
CDT delivers nearly 100% of the original plant’s cannabinoids, terpenes and omega oils…and we can prove it. This is a noticeable improvement of the industry’s standard 50-70% extraction rate (via ethanol, CO2, hydrocarbon methods). Our proprietary refinement process takes it a step further and removes all unwanted chlorophyll, waxes and unnecessary material creating a distillate that is cleaner, smoother, and better tasting than industry norms.
As if that weren’t enough, our extraction process takes standard CBD molecules that are naturally 2,000-4,000 nanometers in size and breaks them down into smaller molecules that stay at around 28.8nm in perpetuity. Oils can’t be soluble, and emulsion makes molecules bigger. Our CBD is TRULY nano in size (not soluble or emulsified) leading to a massive increase in bioavailability. The result is a finished product that users tell us is faster acting, stronger working, and longer lasting.
To call our product full spectrum isn’t accurate. Our products are Whole Spectrum,™ the way nature intended. CDT extracts EVERYTHING from the original plant and honors the integrity of the original hemp plant.
Anyone can standardize, mix and formulate. And while there is a time and place for experimentation, there is still so much to learn about the power of CBD and other cannabinoids. Our philosophy is firm and proven. The ratios and quantities of cannabinoids, terpenes and omega oils existed in the original plant for a reason and we’re not going to mess with that. Whole Spectrum™ extracts deliver the whole plant…the way nature intended.
Dr. Lisa is excited to be working with American Extractions to provide you with the absolute best CBD products on the market—and you deserve the best!
