Find Your CBD Sweet Spot

The path to your best self with CBD is a unique journey for all of us. Because no two people are the same, how our bodies react to CBD can be quite different. Here’s a short explanation of why:

CBD stands for “cannabidiol,” one of the cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. Cannabinoids are active compounds that interact with our body’s endocannabinoid receptors to produce effects that mimic our body’s own neurotransmitters. The endocannabinoid system is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a role in regulating a wide range of functions and processes, including sleep, mood, appetite, memory, reproduction and fertility.

In addition to interacting with our individual endocannabinoid receptors, how CBD affects us also has to do with our weight and unique body chemistry. So while your best friend’s perfect level of CBD may be 15mg, it may not be yours. 

So how do you find your CBD sweet spot? We suggest trying this approach.

First, Start Small

If you’re just getting started, you may want to experiment with lower CBD levels found in our bottled beverages and hot teas—and then tune in to how your body responds. Some products to try out include:

• Calm. This 9mg hot tea also contains turmeric and ginger for added wellness goodness.
• Center. A hemped-up version of our sister company’s best-selling Hot Cinnamon Spice tea, this hot tea contains 8mg of CBD.
• Refresh. Like the name says, this refreshing cold cranberry, green tea and coconut beverage has 8mg of CBD.
• Calm. The cold version of this turmeric and ginger beverage also has honey and is a cool 10mg of CBD.

Next, Take It Up a Notch

After trying products with lower levels of CBD, move the dial up a bit to see if more CBD is what you desire, or if you need to dial it back down. Monitor how your body reacts to products like these with increased amounts of CBD:

• Chill. A delightful chamomile mint hot tea with 16mg of CBD.
• Focus. With 20mg of CBD, this hot tea is made with yerba mate, yaupon and mint.
• Boom. Treat yourself to 22mg of CBD alongside the flavors of chocolate and coconut in this hot tea.
• Sleep. As the name suggests, the ingredients in this hot tea – holy basil and coconut, along with 25mg of CBD – can help you achieve a good night’s rest.
• Cold Drinks. With the exception of Refresh and Calm, our cold drinks -- including our awesome sparkling elixirs and new CBD coffee elixirs, Ace and Lift -- all contain anywhere from 15-25mg of CBD. Pick and choose the tastes and levels that appeal to you.

Or, Have It Your Way

Put yourself in the driver’s seat and determine how much CBD you use when you take control with our Chill and Rest tinctures. Add as much or as little as you’d like to either a CBD beverage to boost its levels, or to a non-CBD beverage to give it a little extra oomph. The tinctures have the added benefit of being flexible with your CBD levels depending on your desired outcomes.

Because It’s All About You

Whether for mood, relaxation, pain relief, better sleep or other benefits, you determine your personal goals and monitor your body’s response to build your ideal routine for morning, midday, evening and night. No matter your individual goals, you can create a stronger connection with your body. Experiment and discover what works best. There is no one-size-fits-all dose… there’s just whatever works for you. It’s a free-spirit kinda thing, and we think it’s beautiful!
