FUNKY FARMS VITAMIN DRINK BY VICTORIA SMITH 25mg hemp extract plus 1000mg Vitamin C per pack It’s well known around the office that I’m the one to come to if you need a vitamin or remedy of some kind. I’ve got an entire drawer full of everything from paracetamol down to magnesium effervescent. So, when I was asked to try out this vitamin sachet by Funky Farms I wanted to see how it differed from regular effervescent supplements. I tend to buy the orange flavour usually, but this was a citrus blend. My initial thoughts of the sachet were that it looked like it could fit in well in any health food store. When pouring it into the glass I noticed it was a fine powder with orange grains. It has the same vitamin profile as Berocca, with the added extra of 25mg of hemp extract. The citrus flavour works well against the hemp notes but is slightly overpowering and it does linger after finishing the drink. Still, not much more than a regular vitamin drink would. HUGS PICK ME UP BY RÓISÍN DELANEY 12.5mg CBD + 75mg caffeine per sachet Fast acting, zero THC and packed with caffeine. A box of five sachets, not to be used every day, rather for when you have that lull before a workout, or if you’re struggling with jetlag. I actually found a glass of water with one sachet to be really effective in making me more aware and awake on a late work night, when I couldn’t bring myself to drink another coffee or down a Red Bull. CBD has been shown to counteract those jitters we often associate with drinking too much coffee, so it works well in balancing the effects of 75mg worth of caffeine. The CBD used by Hugs in this product is also water soluble, increasing bioavailability.
