Hello Day : Immunity Support

Who else needs an immunity boost? It’s something at The Amazing Blog we all need. And what better way than by taking a daily supplement filled with essential probiotics and vitamins. We recommend Hello Day’s Immunity Support which offers many benefits, including vitamin D3 and gut support with microbiota and was recently named an Editor’s Choice at the 2022 Beauty Shortlist Wellbeing Awards.

Hello Day is an innovative health and wellness company that provides a collection of natural supplements. They specialise in seasonal wellness boxes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. These contain four products specifically designed to help anticipate and support the body, preventing it from any symptoms associated with the season. In an interview with one of their stockists, John Bell & Croyden, the brand said, “We are the first brand to create an innovative response to seasonal changes with our All Season Boxes…Our boxes are a generalist approach, meaning they have been designed as a universal response to seasonality, tackling issues we all face.” The company also offers additional products which are sold individually. Sébastien Rumpler founded the company intending to help people achieve their health and wellness goals by reconnecting with nature. By combining his pharmaceutical experience with insights from both Swiss and French health experts and micronutrition and phytotherapy doctors, Sébastien was able to launch Hello Day. All humans directly connect with the environment, whether through their moods or energy levels. However, Sébastien believes people have lost touch with this connection. Hello Day helps prepare people to live in harmony with nature and the season’s changes. With a strong background in pharmaceuticals, Sébastien has combined the best pharmaceutical production practices with clinically supported science and high-quality ingredients to create the highest quality products. All products have natural flavours and colours, are vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, GMO-free, TI02 free, preservative-free, and with no nanoparticles. They are manufactured in pharma-grade facilities, using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), guaranteeing a high level of control from acquiring the ingredients to the final product, and always ensuring zero cross-contamination between products. Additionally, each batch is bacteriology tested, and batches are tracked for customer safety. Hello Day also has a strong community of ‘Wellbeing Mentors’ who help build a community around helping people achieve their health and wellness goals. Sustainability has always been an essential consideration at Hello Day, with manufacturing done in the UK and France to avoid long-distance sourcing. They package their products with FSC paper from sustainably maintained forests and aim to use recycled and resource-efficient packaging.

Hello Day’s Immunity Support is a dietary supplement designed to help strengthen the immune system. They also have two other immunity supplement products in this range: Immunity Defence, and Immunity Shield. The Immunity Support combines well-selected probiotics and vegan vitamin D3, which are for gut health and overall wellbeing, and it’s recommended to take one capsule daily before breakfast. It’s a supplement that helps improve gut health, and as we all know, the gut has a significant impact on the immune system with nearly 70% of the immune cells being stored in the gut. Now we are, hopefully, post-pandemic, a healthy gut is critical to helping keep a robust immune system. This supplement helps support the microbiota, combined with the daily dose of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 mainly comes from animal sources such as fish oil, fatty fish, liver, and egg yolks. However, here it‘s sustainably sourced from algae. When skin is exposed to sunlight, it produces vitamin D3, sometimes referred to as the sunshine vitamin. Its strength is also measured in international units. Many people here in the UK are deficient in vitamin D, which is a significant problem because vitamin D helps support the normal functioning of the immune system and supports bone, tooth, and muscle health. It’s critical for calcium metabolism in our bodies, encouraging calcium absorption. Vitamin D and calcium are also preventative treatments against osteoporosis.

The first thing to mention is that all ingredients here are 100% natural. There is corn starch which is a binder and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a stabiliser in the capsules. Lactobacillus acidophilus is commonly found in yoghurt and other fermented foods and balances harmful bacteria in the gut. The lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is a widely used probiotic strain, often included in supplements for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal infections. Bifidobacterium animalis lactis is an important component of the healthy gut flora, promotes gastrointestinal health and helps fight infection. Bifidobacterium bifidum are probiotics that live in the intestines and help break down food, absorb nutrients, fight off harmful organisms, and suppress any gut Inflammation. The magnesium salts of fatty acids are used as an anti-caking and anti-foaming agent. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is a vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Having enough vitamin D is critical for maintaining strong bone health and a healthy immune system.

Improving gut health seems to be very topical, and we all need extra support for our immune system. This supplement is another of our #amazingfinds and one we wouldn’t be without! The Hello Day Immunity Support can be found here one month’s supply (30 vegan capsules) at £24, or sign up for a monthly subscription at £21.60 pounds/ month.

Grass & Co : REST 1000mg (11%) CBD Oil Drops & 300MG CBD Body Balm

Winding down after a busy day at work should be the best part of the day, and if you’re anything like us at The Amazing Blog, you’ll know only too well how challenging it is to get both body and mind to rest. Regular readers will know that we're big fans of CBD and on our journey, have gleaned much about this miracle hemp plant. Today we’re featuring two CBD products from Grass & Co - the REST 1000mg (11%) CBD Oil Drops, which recently won ‘Best Product to Calm Anxiety Before Bed’ and Rest 300mg CBD Body Balm an’ Editor’s Choice’ at 2022 Beauty Shortlist Awards.

When the UK and Europe legalised CBD in 2018, Toby Gordon-Smith found the opportunity to create something innovative in the health and wellness industry. He told TechRound  "Looking at the stories of how CBD has genuinely changed people's lives was all the inspiration I needed. I've been working in wellness supplements since 2009 and in consumer goods my whole career." That same year, Toby founded Grass & Co a CBD company that focuses on topicals and edibles in three ranges: Calm, Ease, and Rest. The brand's mission is simple. Grass & Co wants to help its consumers reconnect with nature. "Our mission is to help our customers reconnect with nature by launching only the highest quality CBD blended with great-tasting botanical ingredients and beneficial vitamins. Our unique product range and formulations inspire well-being and have been specially created to work with your body to deliver uplifting results." Grass & Co promises to source only the most ethical and legally grown in the EU- meaning they’re grown without using toxic chemicals or pesticides. All products are natural, sustainable, vegan and broad-spectrum and THC-free. They are best known for their unusual combination of botanicals, which in their CBD oils offers unique smooth flavours. Grass & Co also promises full transparency on the entire process with lab testing and results available here and are now widely available on Amazon and at Holland & Barrett.

The first product we're focusing on is the REST 1000mg (11%) CBD Oil Drops, which have been created to help reduce fatigue, ensure feelings of wellbeing and aid a good night's sleep. This is the most potent one in the REST range; it contains 11% broad-spectrum CBD sourced from the hemp plant, which is also blended with hemp oil, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and MCT oil. MCT oil gives a smoothness in taste and a healthy dose of essential fatty acids. It also allows for a greater concentration of CBD to be absorbed into the bloodstream, and vitamin B5 is crucial to red blood cell production and stress hormones.

What's unique about this blend is the unusual combination of the three oils primarily used for flavour: Bergamot, lavender and hops extract (part of the hemp family), and we have to say, as a combination, it’s a very palatable one. Bergamot comes from the citrus bergamia plant indigenous to the Mediterranean and has properties that can reduce feelings of depression and reduce cholesterol and joint pain. Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils and for a good reason; apart from its healing properties, it also works as a mood enhancer. This oil promotes relaxation and can treat feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. The hops extract comes from the flowering part of the hop plant, which is also used in brewing beer. Hops are primarily taken for anxiety, sleep disorders, and symptoms of menopause. To find your balance, Grass & Co recommends starting with a low dosage and then slowly building up to a higher dosage. We took it sublingually with a couple of drops under the tongue at night to help calm our busy minds. As mentioned, it has an unusual and pleasant taste that’s very smooth and mild. Although we're more advocates of full-spectrum CBD oil, we'd buy more of this, just for the flavour alone. It has approx 28 drops (or dosages) in this 10ml bottle and it comes in a recyclable cardboard box; to purchase the Rest 1000mg (11%) CBD Oil Drops for £72.50. see here.

The second product we tried was the Rest 300mg CBD Body Balm, again probably best to be used before bed. It’s designed to help with any soreness, inflammation, or just for tired limbs and contains 300mg of CBD. Our regular readers will already know the benefits of applying CBD balms for their therapeutic properties. However, for the CBD newbies, the 300mg of CBD here will relax any aching joints.

Apart from the CBD, the base (or carrier) oils are soy, grapeseed, evening primrose, passionflower and sunflower. The other healing essential oils are rose geranium, rosemary leaf, and frankincense. Rose geranium, in addition to treating conditions such as acne and dry skin, is used to reduce the symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. Rosemary helps ease pain and increase circulation and is particularly good for reducing anxiety and stress before bed. Lastly, we have frankincense, a resin from the boswellia tree, which will alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety and is a mood enhancer.

We like this natural CBD Body Balm because it's full of relaxation-inducing ingredients and can be used even on sensitive skin. We’d recommend massaging a liberal amount into aching limbs or stiff shoulders before bed, to allow it to work its magic. Or, in our case, working it intensively in between the finger joints (stiffness from too much typing!) This rich formula nourishes the skin and performs as a mild anti-inflammatory. Plus, the floral scent will help relax your mind and boost your mood. The 60ml Rest 300mg CBD Body Balm is available here for £39.50.

If you’re new to CBD, we think these two broad-spectrum products offer a brilliant starting point, they’ll work beautifully together to help ensure your body gets a well-earned rest.

Wellgard : Gold Standard Vital Mushrooms Powder 100% Organic, Blend of 6 Extracts

We love trying the latest superfoods and, at The Amazing Blog, we discovered Wellgard’s  Gold Standard Vital Mushrooms Powder which has been formulated to help improve performance and cognitive resilience. It’s filled with many essential vitamins and recently came to light when it won ‘Best Health or Beauty Drink – Mix’ as a joint wellbeing award winner at the 2022 Beauty Shortlist Awards.

Wellgard is a wellbeing brand founded in 2016, with a variety of clinically proven supplements. All products are made in the UK, and the ingredients used in their products are simple, clean and backed by science. The company is part of the Bayagan Group, founded by Yousaf Sekander, its an organisation with a diverse group of companies in the wellbeing and beauty industry, including Swiftwhite and Procoal. The Bayagan Group has built a strong portfolio of brands and follows the emerging market trends, and taps into new opportunities. Wellgard’s philosophy is "Clinically Proven Formulas. Maximum Results.” It all started, when they noticed that some of the products in the supplement sector were either severely marked up or with exaggerated benefits. This is where they’ve strived to create beneficial supplements for their customers that are proven, and also come with prices that are not inflated, and has subsequently led to their online-only presence with a direct to customer sales model. Wellgard’s products are certified organic, pesticide-free, non-GMO and highly concentrated with many active compounds. They also ensure that every part of their packaging is 100% recyclable to ensure the smallest possible impact on the environment.

Wellgard’s latest product, the Gold Standard Vital Mushrooms Powder 100% Organic, Blend of 6 Extracts, includes the world’s six most treasured mushrooms, and as they say, this extract is to help one “feel sharper, more focused, and ready to take on the day, every day.” First and foremost, they are keen to point out it is not a ‘mushroom powder, it’s a mushroom extract powder’. Mushroom powders and mushroom extract powders are not the same thing. It’s because 100kg of harvested mushrooms yields 10kg of mushroom powder. In contrast, 100kg of harvested mushrooms produces just 1kg of mushroom extract. Therefore, this is a highly concentrated extract.

All six mushrooms used have a long history of traditional use and increasing scientific evidence on their effectiveness and benefits for overall health and wellbeing. Organic shiitake mushroom is the first ingredient listed. This type of mushroom extract is known to support the immune system, and boost white blood cells to fight off microbes plus protect against cell damage. Organic lion’s mane mushroom is known to relieve mild symptoms of depression and anxiety and help as an anti-inflammatory. Organic cordyceps mushroom boost performance and energy levels and is used in traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the lung for fatigue or any respiratory diseases. The organic chaga mushroom helps immune health and is a rich source of antioxidants. Organic maitake mushroom reduces cholesterol, maintains blood sugar, and also supports immune function. Finally, the organic reishi mushroom is the sixth mushroom, used to improving sleep, lessening fatigue, and supporting the body with physical and mental stress. With all these 6 mushroom blends, it offers over 100 biologically active compounds. It’s important to point out that this mushroom extract powder is non-GMO, gluten-free, and free from irradiation. Plus, it is free from fillers, soy, preservatives, binders, and chemicals. It’s 100% organic!

The benefits of mushrooms are countless. This mushroom extract powder supports immune health, enhances brain function, boosts energy, reduces anxiety, and even slows ageing. Wellgard claims that their Vital Mushroom Powder contains five times more active compounds than other mushroom powders and is higher in quality and richer in critical active compounds, such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenes. The formula is very concentrated and potent. Therefore, the daily serving is just 1 gram (recommended daily serving) and has five times the amount of active compounds containing 300mg polysaccharides; these provide dietary fibre that helps the digestive system and supports healthy gut flora. This mushroom complex is manufactured in a registered, approved, inspected state-of-the-art facility, with strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Each batch is 3rd Party Tested for Quality, Purity, and Potency.

What we love about this mushroom extract powder is that it’s easily dissolvable and can be added to nearly any food or drink (either cold or hot), and it’s so versatile. We’ve added mushroom extract powder to coffee, smoothies, and soups. It has a very mild and slightly umami taste (a fifth basic taste alongside sour, sweet, bitter, and salty) making it easy to add to almost any recipe. Therefore, this mushroom extract powder can be used to enhance stir-fries, stews or pasta adding a new depth of flavour without being overpowering. In fact, we’ve even experimented with using it in a batch of chocolate brownies (chocolate and mushrooms extract are an excellent combination) which were delicious!

It’s another of our #amazingfinds see here to purchase two months’ supply at 60g Wellgard’s Gold Standard Vital Mushrooms Powder for £19.99.

Canax : Mellow Meno CBD & Vitamin Capsules

It is no surprise with all its many natural benefits, that we’re big fans of CBD products at The Amazing Blog, and we wanted to share a new CBD discovery with Mellow Meno CBD & Vitamin Capsules by Canax. It’s a product that has been primarily created to help ease some of the symptoms for women in perimenopause or menopause As well as being a Wellbeing Editor’s Choice winner at this year’s Beauty Shortlist Awards, they are also one of our #amazingfinds.

Canax was founded in 2020, based in Nottingham it’s the product of co-founders and best friends Jess Cohen and Sophie Garner, a paediatric nurse. They initially met through their husbands, who were football players for Nottingham Forest. The idea of creating premium CBD products started when Jess' mum was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (rare cancer that targets the plasma cells). Sophie said, "We came across CBD a few years ago, Jess's mum was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and she has found that CBD along with medical treatment has helped ease her daily anxieties and encourages sound sleep which is vital in any type of healing and recovery." As a nurse, Sophie had a first-hand account of how CBD helps her patients, and as mums, they know how overwhelming life can get. That's when Jess and Sophie realised they wanted to help others. They created Canax with a motto: less of the stress. "That's why our Mummy Gummies CBD range has been designed to fit perfectly around your own busy life, helping you take the edge off whenever you feel the need.” They are dedicated to providing only the highest quality organic THC-free CBD which is derived from a farm in Oregon, USA. Their products also offer a simple buying process with a rolling subscription service. All their ranges are organic, palm oil-free, and plant-based, meaning that Canax is suitable for vegans and vegetarians alike. Their best-known product, Mummy Gummies, has highly rated reviews and has been featured in major magazine publications. 

As mentioned earlier Mellow Meno CBD & Vitamin Capsules has been created to aid the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Like all their other edibles, they contain absolutely no THC and are in a concentrated form of CBD Isolate only. Which is a purified crystalline form, and it is completely tasteless and odourless, which makes it the ideal candidate for use in edibles. It has soothing properties to help sleep, mood, and anxiety. In menopause, CBD is known to alleviate hot flushes and improve bone density by stabilising the hormone changes often caused by the menopause. CBD also has anti-inflammation properties that help cure acne for clear skin and ease rosacea.

The capsules are also made up of six other natural ingredients: Zinc, B12, B6, magnesium, vitamin C, and sage. Zinc is an essential element used for cell growth, hormone release, immune response and replication. Vitamin B6 and B12 have many advantages, and these two convert food into energy that helps create the organic chemicals serotonin and dopamine. Ultimately it helps with focusing, energy levels, and mood. Magnesium, another vital element, is crucial in producing energy, forming proteins, maintaining genes, and regulating the nervous system. Vitamin C, as you may know, is high in antioxidants. It helps protect the body's tissues from harmful free radicals and stabilises the linings of blood vessels. It can help soothe menopause symptoms such as varicose veins, cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Vitamin C also helps reduce the risk of severe medical conditions like heart attacks, blood clots, and strokes. Lastly, native to the Mediterranean region, sage can relieve symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats. It has been used as a natural remedy for menopause for hundreds of years, and fun fact, sage is actually part of the mint family.

What we like about Canax is that they’re very transparent about what's in each product, and their website provides an ingredient list of each product and what they do. The recyclable pink and yellow hue pack contains 30 CBD capsules with 20 mg of CBD in each. They recommend taking one capsule daily as they are, or emptying into a glass of water. Regardless of whether you are menopausal or not, we think these capsules are a great way to get daily 20mg of CBD (and all the vitamins) particularly if you don’t like the hempy taste of the oils. The brand also recommends taking these capsules continuously to reap the benefits, "You need to give Mellow Meno 7-10 days to kick in and really see the wonderful effects it will have." To get full use of the product, it's best to store it in a cool and dry place. For us as regular CBD takers, this is a low dosage, however, we think they offer a great introduction to those who are newbies to CBD. You can make a one-time purchase of 30 capsules or buy a monthly subscription here for £39.99 or £31.99. 

CBME : CBD infused dried fruit packs

We always try to find that unique little CBD 'something’; be it edible, topical or more recently, home fragrance. Well, today at The Amazing Blog, we’ve found these CBD infused dried fruits - which, as you can imagine, really piqued our interest! Created by CBMEa CBD wellness company, they’ve recently launched this range of three CBD infused dried fruits with Uplift, Relax, and Relieve.

CBME came to life thanks to Bhavin Morjaria, the founder and chief product creator. As a registered pharmacist with over ten years of health and wellness experience, Bhavin created CBME to provide his customers with everyday food products, for a ‘personalised CBD experience’. The primary mission of the brand is to try to redefine CBD to make it more adaptable. The CBME idea started when Bhavin noticed that he and his mother were using the same CBD products, but to relieve different issues. He was using the CBD to help reduce stress and improve his wellbeing, whereas his mother, Mina, was using the CBD to relieve her joint pain. Although Mina still takes other prescription medications, she has since taken a lower dose of her prescribed painkillers by using CBD.. This inspired him to develop products that are tailored to tackle specific issues more effectively. Bhavin said, “We saw that the same CBD products were being recommended no matter who you were. We are all not the same, so why should our wellness product be the same? So we went on our mission to create and personalise our CBD products.” He further harnesses this with a more holistic approach using CBD as the key ingredient. However, by adding other minerals and botanicals to enhance further the positive effects of the CBD, it offers more amplified effects of wellbeing. Using his pharmaceutical knowledge, he has combined CBD and Ayurvedic medicine to make these first CBD coated dried fruit packs. The three blends, Uplift, Relax and Relieve  (see our review below) are all made with organic broad-spectrum CBD distillate, CBG, and natural terpenes, to optimise the full plant energy. The dried fruit packs are vegan, have no allergens, and are THC-free. These Uplift and Relax dried fruit packs have added sugar or sweetener whereas the Relieve dried fruit pack is sugar and sweetener free. CBME want to offer consumers a natural and healthier alternative to the other high-calorie CBD infused edibles available. Apart from selling CBD edibles, they are also committed to educating people about the benefits of hemp and CBD through short informative videos, which can be found here, and have a CBD dosage calculator here to help the consumer determine how much they should take. All the hemp used is grown and sourced from Columbia, and 3rd party lab-tested in California.

We received all three CBD dried fruit packs, Uplift (pineapple), Relax (papaya), and Relieve (apricot). These CBD snacks are unique, where each pack contains a blend of different ingredients designed to target a variety of needs. These dried fruits are enhanced with other ingredients; so let’s start with the ones they all share. There is CBD broad spectrum distillate in each fruit, meaning it is THC-free and the whole plant is used to retain full-plant synergy. All the combined terpenes encourage the ‘entourage effect’, which allows the consumer to get the maximum benefits from the CBD. All the dried fruit are coated with CBD, which they claim will enable it to be absorbed faster, promoting its effectiveness. While they all include this kind of CBD, the fruits are also fortified with CBG, another cannabinoid found in hemp plants. This natural CBG cannabigerol has several extra enhanced health benefits known for reducing pain and inflammation and also acting as an anti-depressant. Many CBD products contain only a tiny quantity of CBG, so we were pleased to see a more substantial presence in all these dried fruits. Each pack has a different mix of natural flower derived terpenes, minerals and botanical elements, that when added with CBD, enhance overall wellbeing. 

In Uplift, there’s a combination of dried pineapple and ashwagandha root. Each piece has 35mg CBD and is designed to help regulate stress hormones and relieve anxiety. Ashwagandha is a revitalising herb that’s known to ease anxiety and promote calmness. It is an adaptogen, a substance known to help your body adapt to everyday physical and emotional stressors. This product is also infused with what they call ‘happy terpenes’, which are derived from a flower strain rich in limonene and myrcene. Limonene is a very energising terpene, and myrcene has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. The organic stevia found in Uplift contributes to its sweetness giving this triangular pineapple slice an almost candied-like appearance. Another very important ingredient are the probiotics, which are here to help improve gut health and balance the natural microbiota. CBME recommends eating one of these rejuvenating pineapple slices to help get your day off to a good start!

Next, we tried the Relax pack, which also has 35mg of CBD, infused into each papaya piece. These are aimed to help inspire calm, with the infusion of botanicals and relaxing plant terpenes working together to recharge and aid sleep. The other addition is magnesium, an essential mineral that is crucial for keeping balanced levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that relaxes the brain and encourages restorative sleep. There are also hops that are closely related to cannabis sativa, and include xanthohumol, an antioxidant that helps induce a deep sleep.  Finally, the griffonia seeds, with natural 5-htp an element that increases serotonin which is known to improve mood and increase levels of calmness. And also raises melatonin production levels, the hormone that is connected to our sleep-cycle.  They also add back any of the natural terpenes that are lost during the extraction process, so in this pack they’ve put back the ‘relaxing terpenes’ high in linalool and terpinolene. Linalool has soothing and sedative properties, and terpinolene, can help treat insomnia. Again, like the pineapple pieces, these papaya slices look like candied fruits, although these have cane sugar instead of sweetener. The brand explained to use why they have the addition of either sweetener or sugar in both ‘Relax’ and ‘Uplift,’ “The sweetness in the pineapple and papaya is because without the added sugar they would become super sour when dried. So need a bit of sugar at curing, the ashwagandha and the other ingredients are very bitter so the added sweetness keeps them palatable.”. We like the idea of eating a piece or two to relax at the end of a busy day - but if taking before going to sleep, be sure you brush your teeth!

Lastly, Relieve, where each dried apricot has 50mg of CBD, and been infused to help ease aches and pains, or sore joints. To meet its purpose of naturally reducing inflammation or pain, the dried apricots are infused with turmeric, black pepper and soothing terpenes from ‘pain-relieving flower strains.’ Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The compound, curcumin, found within turmeric are known to aid conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and support anti-inflammatory issues. As for the black pepper, it increases the body’s absorption level of curcumin by up to 2000%.  The anti-inflammatory terpenes that the apricots contain are rich in beta-caryophyllene. Beta-caryophyllene has several health-benefits like decreasing cholesterol levels, reducing anxiety and pain, and bringing down inflammation. These are great for combatting the sore muscles after a workout, or for relieving any arthritic or joint pain, and were our favourite of the three. Mainly because they’re the only the natural fruit with no added sugar or sweetener, and also in this cold damp weather, we notice more joint pain and these have the more relevant benefits for us.

We think these dried fruit packs are perfect for each of their intended purposes. We know what you’re all dying to ask; how do they taste? Like dried fruit (or candied fruit) with a slight hemp tang as an after taste, which is probably why some have been sweetened. For us, as CBD aficionados they tasted delicious, but for the uninitiated, they might take a little bit of getting used to. If you are looking for a day with reduced stress, take an Uplift piece in the morning to kick off the day. And if you want to give your body a break and unwind for a good night's sleep, then the Relax papaya piece might do the trick. Or for those days when muscles are sore, or you’re suffering from the after-effects of a big gym workout, then try a Relieve dried fruit piece before sleep. NB: The FSA recommended dosage of CBD is 70mg per day - so bear that in mind if you are tempted to eat the whole packet in one go! We were sent the ‘Try Me’ packs which you can buy here which contain 5 pieces for £13 for the Uplift and Relax, and for £15 for the Relieve.
