 There are many reasons why you may suffer from high stress, anxiety or sleep issues. But the question is, is there anything you can do about it? Even more, are there any supplements on the market that may provide an instant relief without any side effects? Well, I have recently got a pack of premium CBD oil and CBD soft gels designed to calm your mind and promote better sleep. I've tried both for a few weeks and you won't believe what happened.

I mean, there are so many different factors that can impact your well-being. From mental issues, family issues, being dissatisfied at your work, it could be poor nutrition, lack of certain nutrients and many, many more. Now to be very honest, for the past couple of weeks I was feeling anxious and had issues with my sleep, despite my optimized sleep routine. There were just too many things I was trying to do and way too little time for relaxation. So at a certain point I had to do something about it and that's exactly when my team had told me that we have just received a pack of two CBD supplements, one for calming mind and the other one for improving sleep. So I've decided to try them out and see what happens. Now before I tell you about my experience and share with you what happened and trust me, you'll be surprised, let's check out how CBD impacts your body and brain. By the way guys, have you ever tried CBD? Did you like it? Let me know in the comment section below. Now as you probably know, CBD is a cannabinoid that helps with epilepsy, anxiety, depression, with pain, inflammation and can even be used for patients with cancer. I've also came across studies showing the positive effects of CBD on sleep quality and insomnia. Now before we talk about those, let's check how CBD can actually help with anxiety and stress. Now according to multiple studies, CBD has anxiolytic effects, meaning it lowers your perceived stress and anxiety in stressful situations. Similarly, like Rodiola Rosse, a potent adaptogen herb, which you can learn more about in this video up here. Now the mechanism of action isn't fully understood yet, but it could be that CBD reduces stress and anxiety via TRPV1 and 5-HTI alpha receptors. Now when it comes to sleep, this review of literature done in 2017 showed that CBD may help people with insomnia and people with sleep apnea. Sadly, I couldn't find any long-term studies on a healthy population, but we have to be satisfied with the data available. Having understood those mechanisms of action, I decided to try CBD and see if it's any good. Now I first decided to try organic CBD oil, which contains 75 milligrams of CBD per serving. Honestly, that was the first time for me trying CBD, because whenever I bought CBD before, I had to give it to my poor French bulldog, who suffers from all kind of health issues. Now I've started my test by taking one dropper, which means one milliliter of CBD oil per day. I took it in the afternoon because I was slightly worried about the potential side effects, which we'll talk about later on. By the way guys, are you searching for the best natropic supplements for yourself?

Well, during my first few days of taking 75 milligrams of CBD, I honestly didn't notice any change in my mood. So I quickly decided to triple the dosage to about 230 milligrams of CBD, which was a very smart decision. As a matter of fact, just after about 20 minutes of taking this higher dosage, I started noticing some differences in my mood. In about 40 minutes, I already felt more relaxed and calmer. Now the effect that the CBD had on my mood was definitely noticeable, and it didn't feel like a placebo. And the effects lasted for about two to three hours, give or take. Now I've been following this protocol for about a week, and I noticed that the same effect pretty much every day. Sure, the effects are a little bit dependent on my general well-being. For example, when I was really stressed, the CBD was less effective, obviously, but when I was moderately stressed, the CBD was very, very effective. Now after testing CBD oil for about a week, I decided to try the premium CBD soft gels that contain CBD, CND, and three milligrams of melatonin. Obviously, this supplement was developed to help improve your sleep quality, so I decided to take it about an hour before sleep. And there are two main things I was trying to find out. The first one was if I can sleep long enough without waking up during the night, because whenever I'm anxious, I'm waking up during the night and cannot sleep long enough. And the second one was how I would feel in the morning. Would CBD help me feel more energized and better recovered? By the way, guys, if you liked this video, please press the like button below. So after about a week of use, I can say that yes, those soft gels actually helped me recover better. Out of seven nights, I had six nights when I slept really good and only one night when I still woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep. Now, the question remains, did I sleep better because of CBD, melatonin, the combo both compounds, or just because I was feeling less anxious during the day? Now, I think that melatonin had quite a significant impact on my sleep and a CBD supplement without melatonin wouldn't be as effective. But since melatonin is a hormone, is it safe supplementing such CBD soft gels with melatonin daily? Now, before I answer that, let's talk about the optimal dosage and the side effects of CBD supplements. Now, choosing the optimal CBD dosage is actually quite hard because different dosages are used in many studies and scientists are not quite clear yet about the optimal dosage. However, based on the available research, the recommended daily dosage for improving sleep is about 25 milligrams of CBD per day or per night, which is exactly the dosage of those soft gels. If you have issues with stress and anxiety, you should take about 300 to 600 milligrams of CBD per day for an immediate effect. Now, as you saw before, when I took about 75 milligrams of CBD, I didn't notice any effects, but at about 230 milligrams, I definitely felt much calmer. But is CBD safe? According to multiple studies, CBD's adverse effects are usually minor, like fatigue, sleepiness, decreased appetite, and fever. Now, I experienced no side effects during my trial period, but I still suggest you start supplementing with a lower dosage and then you slowly increase it. Of course, consult your doctor before you supplement CBD. Oh, and if your CBD supplement contains melatonin, I wouldn't suggest taking it daily. So, the verdict. Can CBD help with stress, anxiety, and sleep? Well, it can definitely help you calm down. So, yes, if you're stressful or anxious, you may try supplementing it and see how it works for you. When it comes to sleep, I'm not sure if it directly improves your sleep quality or is this more of a side effect of feeling more calm, but it may be helpful for improving sleep as well. You should definitely try it out. Now, there are some links below to joint organic CBD supplements that I personally recommend.
