GRN 250mg Natural Boost Tincture
By Lisa Blake
Another tincture, another childlock. Once I got over
questioning the development of my adult motor skills,
I tried this much more appeasing and unremarkable
(in a good way) tasting oil, which not only tasted better,
but also didn’t have as strong a smell as other ‘natural’
oils.
I used this one the most regularly over the course
of a month, especially before sleeping. It’s made me
religious about going to bed with a glass of water as
without fail I get a tickly, dry throat after using it.
I didn’t fi nd it as effective for nodding off as quickly as
with other tinctures I’ve used in the past, but I suspect
that’s for a combination of reasons.
I’m a fan of the packaging as it defi nitely has a feel
good factor: “gluten free, 100% vegan, pesticide free”
– reassuring as I make a feeble attempt at Veganuary
and contemplate the sorry state of our planet. Thumbs
up for an environmentally conscious, natural, hard-
working product.
1000mg Whole Plant Oil from
Natural Health Goods
By Róisín Delaney
I’m a big believer in whole is better. Whole fat, whole
foods, whole plant please. This 10ml bottle from
England-based Natural Health Goods contains
1000mg of whole plant (full spectrum) hemp oil. The
percentage of CBD in the oil comes in at 10%, and
there are other cannabinoids at work in here too.
These help the CBD to be absorbed, increasing the
rate of effect.
The thing I like most about this is noticeable terpene
profi le. It’s not too strong that it’s unpalatable and
works really well when combined with food.
A word of advice to any newcomers, whole plant
natural hemp oil, with or without CBD, is an acquired
taste. If you want to keep it as nature intended, you’ll
need something to neutralize that after taste au
natural.
