CBD Drinks: Your Top Questions Answered
Can you safely exercise after drinking CBD?
Studies have shown that pairing CBD with exercise can amplify the endorphins in our bodies. One commonly known endocannabinoid receptor called Anandamide, is a chemical compound responsible for the “runner’s high” and CBD helps to keep Anandamide in the body! By bringing calm and balance, many have reported experiencing more mindfulness during their exercise. That said, everyone is unique, so it’s best to consult your physician when adding anything to your daily and exercise routine.

CBD drinks for relaxation
Stress can negatively impact your body’s balancing systems and relaxation is a desirable goal for many when it comes to getting out of a fight-or-flight response that can be experienced with high levels of stress. CBD, in general, is recommended to be used on a daily basis to provide sustained balance. The goal is for CBD to become a proactive measure, rather than a reactionary one. That said, your dose has a lot to do with the amount of stress your body is experiencing so an additional dosage may be necessary from time to time. In moments of unexpected stress, quick-acting CBD is preferable. Methods such as drinking can provide faster, in-the-moment relief compared to normal ingestibles such as a capsule or gummy, which are beneficial for baseline support. CBD Drinks may be particularly effective for relaxation due to their quick onset as a result of their high bioavailability.

What do CBD beverages taste like?
CBD generally tends to have an earthy, hempy, or bitter after taste, no matter the method you consume it. However, Drink Drops are formulated using a technique known as Molecular Dispersion which breaks down CBD molecules and pre-dissolves them into a water solution before they enter the body. While the smaller molecules provide a higher bioavailability and quicker onset of action, it also provides a less noticeable flavor. Drinks Drops have been carefully flavored to bring you a pleasurable experience without the overwhelmingly earthy or bitter taste of many other CBD beverages.

Side effects of CBD drinks
The World Health Organization (WHO) released an extensive report assessing the safety of CBD and revealed a good safety profile that is overall well-tolerated. That said, CBD has a biphasic effect, which means that too little – or too much – has the potential to be ineffective or cause side effects. These side effects may depend on your body chemistry and are different for everyone, but they most commonly present as drowsiness, nausea, headaches, or dry eyes or throat. When it comes specifically to consuming CBD in the form of a beverage, it’s important to note that it may absorb more quickly into the bloodstream resulting in a more immediate effect. The time it takes to sip a beverage may affect the onset time as well, so assessing CBD effects when drinking is important, especially if you’re unfamiliar with your optimal dosages for therapeutic benefits.
