3 Most IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTS
1. CBD - Reduces the over-firing of neurons in the deep brain and protects the nerves from fraying. CBD feeds the system (ECS) that regulates the Nervous System, our hormones, lymphatics and the other systems in the body. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is the most pervasive and largest system of receptors, neurotransmitters, and ligands in the human body. There are more Endocannabinoid receptors in the brain, than ALL the other brain receptors combined. This ECS system oversees and balances literally every pathway in the body. When we feed the ECS with CBD, we begin to reset many different pathways that have been disrupted by toxins, inflammation, emotional trauma, foods, injury, and stress. The ECS REDUCES inflammation when the Immune System cannot. The ECS takes over when the Immune System cannot. The ECS also protects the nerves, and the limbic system (emotions, PTSD). Only CBD; Omega 3s feed the ECS! Unfortunately, most people’s ECS is not working, so we jumpstart it with CBD. Sugg. Serving: 5-15 mg twice/day (Best to start with a tincture, and start with 1 mg) (Dose depends on metabolism, disease state/condition or the state of disrepair of your Endocannabinoid System). CBD can be taken in any form - tincture, capsule, gummy or even coffee. Whatever form is easiest for you to take consistently. 1,2
2. Omega 3 Fatty Acids (specifically DHA and EPA) 60% of our brain matter is comprised of DHA. Every nerve is insulated with Omega 3s. DHA converts to CBD in the body. We cannot make CBD if there is not enough DHA, specifically. Omega 3s support brain and nerve health, cardiovascular health, blood clot risk, artery health, triglyceride risk; and help the body to reduce inflammation. 1,3 Sugg. Serving: 2,000 -5,000 mg/day (i.e.: EPA + DHA mg added together should equal 3,000)
3. Vitamin D3+K2 - Most Americans are deficient in vitamin D. Deficiency is linked to mood disorders, chronic pain, nerve health, respiratory issues, bone health, Covid outcomes and much more. Vitamin D must contain vitamin K2 to prevent calcium issues (K2 is calcium transport molecule). A doctor or an online test can give you your vitamin D blood level. Sugg. Serving 10,000IU/day until your blood serum level gets to 60-80ng/mL (conservative estimate) 4

Most potent CBD! This liposomal CBD has been renamed and reformulated so it is better tasting with a less “thick” texture. It is highly bio-available and absorbable, compared with ~5% absorption of typical CBD products. The liposomal delivery system makes the particles small enough to enter the cells easily. This creates high bio-absorption and more immediate onset of effects. This also means you need less!
A new yummy flavor! Excellent for Digestion issues as well as the toughest pain problem. This CBD has the same excellent genetics and purity as our liposomal, but without the citrus or liposomal delivery. (This is an excellent replacement for the 1,000mg Liposomal Citrus Twist which is on backorder). Each bottle contains approximately 125 or 250 servings. Each 1/2 dropper = 16 mg of CBD. Kosher, vegetable glycerin-based oil used under the tongue or “sublingually.”

(This is an excellent replacement for the 1,000mg Liposomal Citrus Twist which is on backorder). Each bottle contains approximately 120 or 250 servings. Each 1/2 dropper = 4 mg or 16 mg of CBD. This is the cleanest oil we carry, with no added flavorings. Kosher, vegetable glycerin-based oil used under the tongue or “sublingually.”

Tincture, or CBD oil that you ingest, is the most efficient way to take your CBD. And taking it under the tongue and holding it there for 2 minutes is the BEST way to introduce CBD into the body. The CBD gets absorbed in the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) there and then is shuttled directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver. Thus the body doesn’t have to digest it (swallowing), the CBD gets into the bloodstream and the body almost immediately, and the liver and kidney doesn’t have to process the CBD (leaving less to get to the bloodstream). Under the tongue means quicker onset and more concentrated CBD in the bloodstream and therefore your cells. The other advantage is that you can increase or decrease your dose easily. With the liposome Hemp CBD Extract, for example, one squirt is one mg. Most clients can take 5-10mg once or twice a day and can add 2 or 3 squirts before a stressful meeting or presentation. Why take a 20mg capsule when you only need 12mg?

Topical CBD Creams, Balms and Sprays are an excellent first choice for any pain areas or joints; psoriasis, burns or bruises. Any “itis” can be massaged into the area after the shower, before exercise or before bedtime (for optimal healing). Topicals can also be used as a rescue remedy for injuries. Epsom Salts are excellent for detoxing and inflammation after a long workout, or competition or ankle injury.
