Exploring Cannabis with Adaptogens and Nutrients

As if cannabis could get any cooler. It’s already getting invited to all the most exclusive parties, wearing all the hippest earth tones, getting tagged by celebs on Insta, and being researched by the most prestigious medical research institutions. How on earth could cannabis elevate their swagger? By adding adaptogens, of course.

What is an Adaptogen?

Adaptogens are natural substances that help the body adapt to stress, balance hormones, and maintain homeostasis (think: blood pressure, body temperature, energy, etc.). In other words, they can help level you so you can be your best self. Some of the most popular adaptogens are ashwagandha and lion’s mane mushrooms, each with unique properties.

Ashwagandha

Often called “The King of Adaptogens,” ashwagandha is renowned for its ability to reduce stress, enhance mood, and improve cognitive function. It also supports immune health, making it a powerful tool in your daily wellness routine.

Lion’s Mane Mushrooms

This puffball looking fungi is known for its potential to enhance brain function, improve memory, and support nerve health. Its neuroprotective qualities have made it a popular choice for those looking for mental clarity.

These adaptogens are being incorporated into cannabis products (our recommendations below), creating a synergistic blend that targets both the mind and body.

Other Natural Substances

There are other adaptogen-like substances that, when combined with cannabis, can have amazing benefits.

Vitamin D

If you’re from the PNW, you might be lacking vitamin D. Vitamin D, known as the “sunshine vitamin”, supports immune function, bone health, and mood regulation. Its deficiency is oh-so-common in our neck of the woods with the lack of sunlight, making supplementation beneficial for all us fleece wearing PNWers.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has been championed for many years as the powerful antioxidant essential for immune health, skin vitality, and collagen production. It helps protect cells and can contribute to overall physical health and resilience.

The Synergy of Cannabis, Adaptogens, and Nutrients

When combined, cannabis, adaptogens, and essential vitamins and nutrients offer a comprehensive approach to wellness and health.

Stress and Anxiety Relief

The chillaxing effects of CBD, combined with stress-reducing properties of ashwagandha, provides a magical solution that can help manage anxiety and stress.

Cognitive Enhancement

Lion’s mane mushrooms paired with cannabis, can help enhance focus, memory, and cognitive function while promoting a sense of mental clarity without some of the fog that can sometimes be associated with products high in THC.

Immune Support

As we creep into the season notorious for illnesses like colds and the flu, using cannabis products combined with adaptogens and paired with vitamin C and D can enhance the body’s natural defenses.
