We’ve all heard of the usual ways to reduce stress. Move more, practice mindfulness, eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, blah blah blah.
Lets rather explore a revolutionary way that so many people are now trying. Here’s our breakdown of why we think CBD oil can aid in your stress relief plan.
What is stress and how does it affect us?
Stress is how the brain and body respond to any demand or challenge. We all experience stress differently and for some, any kind of demand or challenge can end up being stressful.
Chronic, long-term stress can affect your health because the body never receives a clear signal to return to normal functioning. Some people may experience digestive issues, headaches, sleeplessness, sadness, anger, or irritability. Over time, continued stress may cause more serious health problems.
How does CBD help reduce stress?
CBD works in synergy with the body’s endocannabinoid system, activating specific brain receptors as a result of their interaction. It can be used to assist with the relief of symptoms associated with stress, without slowing psychomotor activity or altering mood. It is not psychoactive and is a potent antioxidant5.
Not all CBD is the same, and consumers should be very selective when trying the product for the first time. ACDO CBD Stress provides therapeutic effects with 20mg CBD isolate per dose, which is the maximum daily dose that is legally allowed in South Africa. And there’s more good news! ADCO CBD Stress is free from THC and sugar, and each batch is laboratory tested and quality controlled to ensure that you get a consistent dose of CBD time!
The MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) carrier oil with added vitamin E contained in ADCO CBD Stress drops is one of the best carrier oils to use because it is easy to digest and absorb. MCT is also a popular supplement additive because it has a long shelf life and does not need refrigeration.
