Since 2024 is the year to try new things, better yourself, and take the plunge into a wellness trend that has been going strong for almost a decade.
CBD, an abbreviation for cannabidiol found in the hemp plant, is now incorporated into drink mixes, skin salves, bath bombs, and even food and beverages. While booming in popularity, many are still unsure what CBD is, or if it is psychoactive like its cousin chemical, THC.
“It’s a naturally occurring substance that’s used in products like oils and edibles to impart a feeling of relaxation and calm,” according to a Healthline article explaining CBD. “Unlike its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive.”
There are so many products on the market to try, and since the effects vary from person to person, it may be worth experimenting to find the most suitable products. You may come out feeling less anxious, more relaxed, or worst case: with a new yummy drink mix or soothing lotion to use.
Beam: Capsules and beverage mixes
Beam touts itself as the brand for “better, cleaner and totally natural supplements,” so it’s only *natural* for us to recommend the cutting-edge direct-to-consumer company as an excellent retailer for CBD. It’s best-selling Beam Dream ($95) is a splurge, but worthwhile if you’re looking to snag a consciously curated formulation that’s vegan, non-GMO and void of gluten and sugar.
Not to mention, Beam is one of our favorites because of its ingredient transparency, explicitly stating how much melatonin, nano hemp and more are included.
HOLISTIK Wellness: Stir sticks
It can be difficult to know how much or little CBD to take, which is why we like HOLISTIK Wellness. Along with not using pesticides or GMOs in the growth of its hemp, the broad-spectrum CBD of each product is pre-portioned in portable Stir STIKs. The clever design completely takes the guesswork out of the process, so you can focus on feeling more relaxed, focused or whatever else you need.
For those who have a hard time sleeping, try HOLISTIK Sleep. It has 10 milligrams of CBD that’s blended with melatonin and chamomile. Its fast acting nano emulsion will have you feeling drowsy in about 20 minutes, which is just enough time for you to wash your face, brush your teeth, put on your favorite PJs and get under the covers.
