CBD For Daily Relief & Maintenance
CBD is one of more than 100 different “cannabinoids” naturally found in hemp and cannabis.
By supplementing our bodies with plant-sourced cannabinoids we can help our bodies to alleviate such issues as pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and it’s even known for its skincare benefits.
Add Matcha For A Boost Of Energy Without The Crash
Matcha is a green tea powder from Japan made from the tea plant Camellia Sinensis.
It’s full of vitamins & antioxidants and is known for reducing inflammation, boosting energy, & supporting brain functions.
While Matcha is known as a source of caffeine it also has a calming effect on the nervous system. Due to the special way farmers harvest the tea in the shade it holds a high amount of the amino acid known as Theanine.
Theanine reduces stress and is known to aid focus & concentration. So while Matcha may give you a boost of energy & alertness, it is relaxing at the same time.
This combination of theanine and caffeine also means that matcha will give you a more stable and steady increase of energy vs. caffeine which can give people a sudden spike of energy then a crash.
And by having a small amount of CBD with your caffeine and theanine, you can even further enhance this feeling of a more stable and calm boost of energy!
