TRIED & TESTED GRN 250mg Orange Tincture By Caroline Barry I was curious to try a fruit fl avoured CBD oil. While I don’t normally mind the taste of natural CBD products, I admit that it’s not always the most pleasant. I’ve been taking oils for about two years to help with anxiety and ADHD after fi nding that my medication left me feeling a bit on edge. For me, oils help me to function at work. I’m completely sold on GRN CBD. The quality is really high. This orange fl avour reminds me of traditional hard-boiled sweets. I’m amazed that I can’t even taste the usual earthy CBD fl avour from it at all. I’m even more amazed to realise that my usual frantic anxiety now feels manageable. I’ve gone from being my usual state of wired to being able to focus. Kushy CBD Tincture By Róisín Delaney I have to hand it to you Kushy. Your mint fl avour is delicious! This oil is produced with broad spectrum hemp extract, so there’s no risk of THC, and it also tastes of a rich terpene profi le. I for one embrace terpenes, when done correctly. I think they bring their own balance and benefi ts to a product and give it a more wholesome approach. Kushy have got this blend just right, as per my taste buds at least. MCT Oil is the carrier here. I’ve seen everything from rosemary oil to olive and avocado oil used as the base to tinctures. Medium chain triglycerides are said to increase bioavailability compared to these. I didn’t notice a massive difference in the amount of time it took me to feel the effects of this Kushy sample. But it is hard to beat on taste. As well as the conventional minty fresh ingredient preferred by most, there is an additional sweetener to this blend in the line of Stevia. Don’t worry, Stevia is calorie free! Another bonus is the accuracy of the pipette measurements, which makes fi nding your daily dose a lot easier. 154 Editor’s Pick!
