When we talk about cannabis and health, the conversation quickly turns to CBD and THC. But the cannabis plant is far more complex than these two well-known cannabinoids. It is precisely the lesser-known compounds that may have surprising biological properties.

This is once again evident in research into CBD and cannabidivarin (CBDV). In his article ‘CBDV against biofilms – An important step in cannabis research’, Peter Vermeul, founder and owner of CBD Spain, discusses research into the antifungal properties of various phytocannabinoids. CBDV, in particular, stands out.

For Peter, this research is interesting for a broader reason. In his view, it shows why it is worth looking not only at individual cannabinoids but also at the cannabis plant as a whole.

And this brings us to a topic that is central to his vision and to how we at CBD & Herb view CBD Spain oil: the power of a full-spectrum extract does not necessarily lie in a single individual compound, but in the natural synergy of many plant components.
