Health and wellness gummies have rapidly gained in popularity due to their ease of use and palatability. For those sensitive to the grassy taste associated with CBD oil, these gummies provide a more pleasant alternative.
Customers on Cornbread Hemp’s website report that its gummies help relieve arthritis and fibromyalgia pain, promote restful sleep, and ease anxiety. Cornbread Hemp uses organic hemp and terpenes in its product development.
Goji Berries
Goji berries (Lycium fruits) are bright red, small berries that provide one of nature’s richest sources of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E as well as flavonoids and carotenoids such as zeaxanthin.
One ounce of goji berries provides more beta-carotene than carrots, twice as much iron than spinach and three times more riboflavin than bananas – not to mention supporting healthy cholesterol levels and decreasing oxidative stress!
Goji berries have long been used as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine to restore vitality, strength and well-being in both liver and kidney meridians. Studies have also demonstrated that taking goji berry juice may increase energy, boost moods and strengthen immunity function.
Ginger
Ginger has long been revered for its ability to ease nausea, and wellness gummies often include this ingredient. Research also indicates it might reduce inflammation and ease period cramps while stimulating digestive juice production.
These vegan and gelatin-free gummies contain no artificial sweeteners and come with no gluten or gelatin; third party tested reviews indicate their pleasant flavor as being effective against anxiety, irritability and restful sleep. A review on the +PlusCBD website notes their effectiveness against anxiety and restful sleep issues.
These gummies combine 500mg of organic apple cider vinegar and 200mg of ginger root in each serving, produced from US-grown hemp and tested by third parties. Plus, subscribe and save to take 25% off future orders!
Valerian Root
Valerian root has been shown in numerous studies to assist people with falling and remaining asleep throughout the night. It may work by altering how stimulation affects how serotonin functions within our bodies – an essential chemical linked to mood regulation and sleep quality.
One study demonstrated that those taking 530 mg valerian root before bedtime slept faster and experienced higher quality rest than those given a placebo (5). Valerian also has proven useful for relieving anxiety while relaxing the muscles in both their back and shoulders.
Valerian root has an offensive, strong aroma and should only be combined with other calming herbs such as lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), hops (Humulus lupulus), and skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). When taken long term it has sedative properties; to use safely long term speak to your doctor first! Valerian may interact with certain medications such as narcotics and antidepressants; consult them first!
Immunity Shot
Immunity shots are small bottles of juice sold with claims like “boosting immune system” or “fighting the common cold,” but registered dietitian nutritionist May Zhu (@nutritionhappens) claims they may not be as useful.
She believes a healthier diet and regular self-care habits are more effective, suggesting making your own wellness shots with ingredients like pineapple, orange, lemon or lime juice, turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits and organic echinacea to boost immunity, activate natural killer cells and reduce cold symptoms while improving digestion via enzymes.
She recommends looking for wellness shots containing nootropics like ampakines, cerebrolysin, citicoline or piracetam to boost cognitive function and avoid memory loss and dementia. These ingredients work with AMPA receptors in your brain to increase your learning capabilities while also protecting against memory loss and dementia. Seattle Gummy Company’s immunity shot contains five times more elderberry than other immuno-boosting gummies to increase its effectiveness and offer enhanced immunity support.
