CBD Boosters: About, Uses, & Where To Buy

CBD Boosters: What Are They, How Do I Use Them, and Where Can I Find Them?

What are CBD boosters?

CBD boosters are phenomenal. From helping with anxiety to combating my insomnia, I regularly use CBD boosters to supplement my daily CBD intake. But what exactly are they, and how do they differ from taking another CBD capsule or tincture(oil in dropper form)?

The first thing to know about boosters, is how to use them. A booster is used as a supplement to your supplements! Boosters are not meant to be used as your sole source of daily CBD. Instead they are meant to be a boost when you need a little extra (hence the name)! The reason for this is simple: A booster gets to work quickly but also leaves the system quickly – it doesn’t bind to your cells and keep working for you.  As such, it may be too little CBD for daily use.

While a booster product may be perfect for later in the day (I use mine before bed) when you are no longer feeling the effects of the CBD that you took in the morning, it likely won’t be strong enough to supplement your Endocannabinoid system for the whole day on its own. This is because Boosters are delivered differently to the system and they do not store in your lipids(fat cells). Instead they get to work much quicker than a daily supplement of CBD that routes through your digestive system, but they also wear off within a few hours.

So why would you want to buy a product that is a booster? Some days may be harder than others and you may just need a little boost. You may have overdone it in the yard or are spending a busy day out with family or friends. On these difficult days you may need more or less to supplement your bodies normal function. While there currently is no conclusive evidence on whether or not a tolerance of CBD is built up, some studies have shown that using too much CBD can lead to lower efficacy later on. Using a booster to get a little more CBD during the day alleviates this problem because the CBD is not stored in the body. Instead it gets to work quickly and then it dissipates.

How do I use CBD boosters?

 Now that I have you interested in using CBD boosters, how do you actually use them, you ask? Boosters come in a lot of different forms. There are many different types of boosters. Some of these include hemp flower(one to four inhales will usually constitute one serving) or for those of us who would prefer not to smoke CBD you can also get boosters in dissolvable tablets, chewing gum, mints, inhalers, drink shots or even a product you add to your water or juice (called a water soluble). I’ve always been partial to the CBD chewing gum, largely because it is slightly herbal and fresh, and feels like a relatively easy way to add some extra CBD to my day when I need it.

What does taking a booster look like? Let’s assume that you wake up around eight or nine to get ready for work, school, or anything else that you do during the day. Brush your teeth, shower, and have your breakfast/coffee and your daily CBD supplement (whether this be a capsule, tincture, or other form of CBD). Or maybe you took your daily CBD supplement before you went to bed the night before. You go on with your day, handling whatever craziness life (and 2020) throws at you.

The car breaks down, someone loses a tooth, the dog has an accident on the new carpet, your Amazon package is either stolen or fails to arrive, you find out that your coworker failed to complete their part of the project on time. Whatever it is, you feel like you need some extra CBD to help out with your well-being!

Should you take another serving, doubling your CBD intake for the day? Perhaps not. It is best to keep supplements regular in both serving size and frequency to avoid building a tolerance in your system. So what are your options? Maybe you have a puff (or two). We have all had those days. Or chew some gum. That extra CBD helps you feel better, and you go the rest of the day at relative ease. Repeat.

See how that boost can help out during the day? It is an auxiliary to your regular CBD supplement to help make it through when you need that little extra.

What are some CBD booster options?

As I mentioned above, boosters come in many forms. There are the chewing gum, the mints, vape pens (and cartridges), dissolvable tablets and water soluble tinctures. While these are all fairly self-explanatory, let me break down each option a bit more so that you can fully understand what each option offers.

Chewing Gum: We have three varieties of CBD gum which range in mg from 10 mg to 15 mg of CBD per piece.  These three gums, MedCBDx CBD Chewing Gum,   Medterra CBD Chewing Gum, and Endoca Chewing Gum are good for an extra boost during the day or in the office (where you may want to be discreet). Just take out a chewing tablet and enjoy the fresh taste of gum, while the CBD gets to work quickly!

CBD Mints: This is another good option for the office or school. Just like the chewing gum, the MedCBDx CBD Mints can be taken quickly for a boost that leaves your breath fresh and minty. Each mint contains 5mg of CBD for a total of 80mg per container of 16 mints. This option has a smaller serving size of CBD than the chewing gum, so it is a better option for those looking for only an incremental increase of CBD in their day.

Panacea F.A.S.T. CBD Dissolvable Tablets can be placed under the tongue or in the side of the mouth for a quick boost of CBD that enters the bloodstream and starts working right away. Ideal for helping with anxiety or getting to sleep, each bottle contains 750mg total divided into 30 tablets of 25mg CBD each. As one of our larger boosters, this product can deliver more CBD to your bloodstream (and to your Endocannabinoid system) than the other boosters can in a single serving. Dissolving under the tongue, it enters the bloodstream and starts working fast!

CBDFX Chill Shots: A quick and convenient option for your purse, gym bag or on the go.  Each shot of 20mg of CBD gets to work quickly and can be thrown in a workout bag for exercise recovery, in a lunch sack to help deal with your daily stress, or just chilled in the fridge, for when you get home and are ready to unwind.   Not only do the shots get you your 20 mg of CBD quickly but thy are packed with 200 mg of L-Theanine and a variety of essential vitamins which aids in relaxation and calm!

CBDfx Mint Strips: If you are looking for a booster that is convenient and  can assist with your day to day stress, look no further.Not only do theses mint strips get to work fast but they are incredibly discreet.  You can throw them  in a workout bag for exercise recovery after a workout, in a lunch sack to help deal with your daily stress, or they are small enough you can fit a five pack in your wallet to help anytime that you need a boost of CBD! We love these broad spectrum (0 THC) mint strips because you can take them wherever you need to go!

Water Soluble Tincture: We often forget about this option but it is a great and affordable option and you can increase or decrease serving size pretty simply. Just add a few drops or an entire dropper full depending on your milligram needs to any liquid and drink down. You’ll find it gets to work as quickly as the mints or gum.  Method Organics is an isolate ZERO THC option and Hemplucid is a full spectrum product with .03%THC.

Hemp Flower and Pre-Rolls: Flower can be added to a pipe or can be rolled in paper and smoked. Just light and puff on the hemp flower and inhale the smooth, tasty, hemp smoke. Once absorbed active substances in the smoke are rapidly dispersed throughout the body. It is the ideal consumption method for consumers that are already familiar with the process of smoking cannabis, or any consumer looking for a natural alternative to tobacco. We love both of our flower brands, Cannflower pre-rolls &  flower along with Method Organics pre-rolls. The flower companies we have chosen are committed to growing, processing and packaging domestically and both companies are committed to whole plant benefits. If you want to experience the full “Entourage Effect” you truly cannot get any closer to the whole plant than with hemp flower. The flower is free from pesticides, heavy metals and other toxic pollutants. The smokable CBD Flower is slow dried, hand trimmed and cured for 60 days, insuring a quality product and experience.

CBD Luxe Inhaler:  Not interested in flower or pre-rolls but wanting something that works in the respiratory system quickly.  Inhalers are your answer! CBD Luxe Inhalers are 1100 milligrams of Micell full spectrum hemp oil in each inhaler.  CBD Luxe inhalers come in a metered dose inhalers or (MDI) similar to the device used in asthma inhaler.  It is designed to give you the same serving size 5.5 mg per inhale every time. With this type of consistency, CBD Luxe inhalers can assist with promoting both wellness in mind and body.

When you use a  CBD Luxe inhaler,  you are taking the CBD and cannabinoids in through the pulmonary system making it one of the fastest acting methods available. The CBD Luxe inhaler is available in 4 great flavors and attributes. Each one has all the standard benefits of CBD including anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
