The FDA publications on Epidiolex mention it's made from purified CBD.

CBD is isolated from Hemp/MJ, and then it's purified, so it's the same:

FDA has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified form of the drug substance CBD for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older. That means FDA has concluded that this particular drug product is safe and effective for its intended use.



I will take the FDA's word that Epidiolex is made from CBD isolate, and not full or broad spectrum. They have all the data in the world on Epidiolex, so I think they would know.

Here are articles also mentioning that Epidiolex is made from isolate CBD

Epidiolex is an example of a CBD isolate.



Also - there was no article from Northwell in your post. It was a duplicate of the first link.
