This article is brought to you by FOCL , bringing education and innovation to plant-based wellness.
CBD has taken wellness by storm, becoming a staple in many a day pack and gym bag. A CBD or hemp capsule may even land a coveted spot in your supplement case as part of your daily routine, but it’s becoming increasingly overwhelming to figure out what’s right for you as new natural products hit the market every day.
Fortunately, there’s a way to streamline your natural supplements to complement CBD. Even better, if you’re looking for an energy or relaxation boost, someone’s already done it for you.
“Wellness stacks are a revolutionary way to optimize results and simplify the process of getting the support you need,” says the CEO of FOCL, Ken Lawson.
FOCL offers wellness stacks designed to bring out your best self, combining premium American-grown hemp CBD with adaptogens that have been used for centuries to promote good health. Their two blends of CBD capsule address issues almost everyone has—creating wakefulness and focus during the day and easy, restful sleep at night—with ingredients from nature, backed by science. What is a wellness stack?
If you’re a gym rat, you might already be familiar with the idea of supplement stacks because bodybuilders often “stack” supplements that help build muscle and aid recovery. The same concept applies to other bodily needs, like lifting brain fog or helping stress melt away.
FOCL’s wellness stacks are the result of combining synergistic ingredients like powerful botanicals and stress-fighting adaptogens with precisely dosed CBD to achieve optimal results for the body and mind. What are adaptogens and how do they work with CBD?
(Courtesy of FOCL) Adaptogens are gentle plants designed to help your body cope with stressors, which is a pretty broad category of occurrences that range from struggling to stay awake to relieving end-of-day tensions.
While adaptogens have been used for centuries (and there’s plenty of data surrounding their presence in individual plants), modern research is still emerging on exactly how they work, with most signs pointing to interaction with adrenal glands.
As you may already know, CBD works within your endocannabinoid system , affecting a unique set of receptors that could help rein in a lot of different symptoms that are out of whack. This could be why CBD has such a wide set of applications, helping with wakefulness as much as it helps with sleep. Since both CBD and adaptogens can help bring your body into balance, the right herbal blends can boost the power of CBD for a well-rounded addition to your day. CBD capsules for daytime creativity and focus
