It’s hard to think of anything we love more than a CBD gummy, except for maybe a melatonin gummy (always seeking that perfect night’s sleep!).
So we are completely beside ourselves to have a gummy that combines two of our favorite things in the world: CBD & Melatonin. A more chilled out marriage could not exist.
If you’re not familiar with the Charlotte’s Web brand: they’re an ethical company out of Boulder, some of the OGs in the CBD cosmos, committed to being “Nature’s Stewards”, and instrumental in the fight for everyone to have access to high quality hemp.
We highly encourage you to invite them into your supplement pantry as soon as possible.
The modern world is just getting started when it comes to discovering the varied and powerful uses of hemp, and we are glad Charlotte’s Web is fighting the good fight.
So let’s take a bite, shall we?
tasting notes
The raspberry flavor is subtle here, and the earthiness of the berry sings harmoniously with the fecund richness of the hemp. It’s an inspired combination of elements.
But that’s not just raspberry you’re smelling: it’s hard not to notice that potent, earthy smell when you twist open that lid.
Don’t be afraid that that smell is straight up ganja: there’s no getting Rocky Mountain High here! These are emphatically THC-free, just like all of their products.
But this got us wondering, what exactly makes up that very distinct cannabinoid aroma emanating from these gummies? The answer is terpenes.
what are terpenes?
Terpenes are a broad category of aromatic compounds that are found in any number of plants, they’re not specific to cannabis. However, they are realllly abundant in cannabis, so they stand out and create that characteristic dank smell.
Terpenes are actually fascinating things! They have an active and vital role in plants, both attracting pollinators and warding off other insects and animals that could potentially compromise plant health and immunity.
And the research on the various terpenes found in cannabis, including limonene and beta-caryophyllene, is extremely interesting.1 2 The more you know! 💫
melatonin
And also just as important as CBD in these is the melatonin. If you’re new to taking melatonin, our guide to sleep gummies will help you traverse that dreamy hormone. (Yes, it’s a hormone!) We promise you’re going to be very glad to hear there’s more than just a good night’s sleep that comes with a nice hit of melatonin.
These gummies contain 10mg of cannabinoid oil and 3 mg of melatonin per serving, which is a great starting place for both CBD and melatonin.
Basically we can’t recommend these enough if you’re looking to combine the magic of melatonin with soothing CBD.
If you’re not ready to combine the two yet, and are looking for some solo explorations into both realms, we recommend Highline Wellness as a stand-alone CBD starter gummy, and SugarBearSleep as the cutest and most perfect night’s sleep you’ll ever have.
But definitely orbit back around to these, we don’t want you to miss out.
