CBD is fast becoming a magic wellbeing product. As the UK CBD market is expected to be worth £1 billion by 2025, we’re loading up on the stuff. But with a myriad of products on the market, how do we know which CBD product is right for us? The secret lies in the terpenes, the latest buzzword in CBD, that play a key role in enhancing the effects that CBD has on the body allowing for a more potent outcome.

Terpenes – the latest buzzword in CBD
What are terpenes?
We have just about got our heads around the difference between the two main compounds found in hemp – CBD (cannabidiol) the wellbeing element and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) the psychoactive part that gets you high. Legally, all CBD products in the UK must contain less than one milligram THC. But how can we feel assured that our CBD product is actually doing something?
It’s down to the terpenes, the new buzzword in CBD, explains CannabiGold, a brand of CBD oils and capsules that contain a unique combination of CBD and terpenes. “Having a combination of terpenes and CBD in oils or capsules allows for the entourage effect. This means the use of terpenes enhances the effects that CBD has on the body allowing for a more potent outcome”. We like the sound of that.
More than 20,000 terpenes to be found
Found in many plants, including cannabis, terpenes give the plant its unique smell and taste, but recently they have also started to attract scientists’ attention because of their unusual properties. From myrcene, for its relaxing properties and effect on the quality of sleep, to limonene, known for its calming and mood-balancing effect, there are more than 20,000 terpenes to be found, and we know of at least 100 that cannabis and hemp plants create.
Take your CBD experience to a new level
Nutritionist Alix Woods says “Adding terpenes to CBD oil makes for a more targeted formula making it more beneficial in helping you achieve a state of calm and relaxation”.
Take your CBD experience to a whole new level with a CBD and terpenes blend. CannabiGold is a trailblazer in the CBD market whose CannabiGold Terpenes+ products are made with the use of purification techniques, that separates the selected compound – in this case cannabidiol – from the hemp extract, to achieve the purest CBD. This process guarantees that the CBD oil is fully compliant with the current UK regulations. A precise composition of terpenes, created by scientists to match the Cannabis Sativa terpenes profile is added. This delivers a synergistic effect with the CBD.
