What is the Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect refers to the synergistic interaction between various compounds found in hemp. Unlike isolated cannabinoids like CBD, the entourage effect suggests that when multiple compounds work together, they may enhance each other’s benefits. This concept applies to not just cannabinoids but also terpenes and flavonoids, which are present in the hemp plant.
Understanding this effect can help consumers make informed choices about hemp products, especially when exploring non-alcoholic alternatives for social settings.
