What Is the Entourage Effect?
If you’ve ever wondered why some hemp products seem to work better than others, you might be experiencing the power of the Entourage Effect. This fascinating phenomenon describes how cannabinoids—like CBD, THC, CBG, CBN, and CBDA—work together with terpenes and other plant compounds to create a more profound effect than any single compound alone. At Upstate Elevator, we believe in harnessing this synergy to craft products that deliver real, noticeable results.
The Science: How Cannabinoids and Terpenes Interact
The hemp plant is a botanical powerhouse, containing over a hundred different cannabinoids and a rich array of aromatic terpenes.
Each cannabinoid has its own unique properties. For example:
- CBD (Cannabidiol) is known for its calming and balancing effects.
- CBG (Cannabigerol) is often called the “mother of all cannabinoids” and supports mood and focus*.
- CBN (Cannabinol) is prized for its relaxing, snooze-supporting* qualities.
- THC provides euphoria and deep relaxation.
- THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) can produce a stimulating, clear-headed high without the munchies.
- CBDA (Cannabigerolic Acid) is more bioavailable than CBD and may support gut health.
When these cannabinoids are paired together—especially alongside terpenes and flavonoids—their effects can be more pronounced, balanced, and tailored to your needs.
Why Full Spectrum and Multi-Cannabinoid Products Matter
Single-cannabinoid (CBD isolate) products can be effective, but they miss out on the natural synergy found in the whole plant. Full spectrum and multi-cannabinoid blends are designed to maximize the Entourage Effect. By combining cannabinoids and terpenes, these products offer a broader range of benefits—whether you’re seeking calm, focus*, relief, or a better and more sound sleep*.
How to Choose the Right Product for You
When selecting a multi-cannabinoid product, consider your goals:
- Daytime energy and mental clarity: Look for blends with CBG or try THCV gummies.
- All-day balance: Try full spectrum capsules with a mix of CBD, CBG, and CBDA.
- Nighttime relaxation: Opt for products featuring CBN and higher CBD or THC content.
- On-the-go refreshment: Seltzers and spritzes offer fast-acting, social-friendly options.
If you’re new to cannabinoids, start with a low dose and gradually increase as you learn how your body responds.
