How can poor sleep habits effect your overall health and wellbeing?
Proper sleep and circadian control are absolutely essential to an optimally functioning immune system. If your body lacks restful sleep, so does your immunity.
What are some of the most common sleep setbacks people encounter?
Most people don’t realize the quality of sleep is closely related to stress and maintaining a strong immune system. You need both systems properly in check if you want an optimal immune response to ANYTHING.”
How does CBD help regulate a person’s sleep habits as well as their ability to fall asleep?
Liposomal delivery, CBD, amino acids L-theanine and 5-HTP, and relaxing herbs like passion flower, chamomile and lemon balm have each individually been shown to help with a providing a full restful night and have been expertly formulated to work together for desired results to address the most common issues.
When determining the correct dose of CBD, what should one consider and how do you find the right CBD supplement for yourself?
Medterra Sleep Tight Gummies and Good Night capsules are two of our best-selling items. As with any CBD, its recommended you use it regularly as the desired effects build upon usage. When deciding to purchase, choose a company that has the COA (Certificate of Analysis) listed on their website and the U.S. Hemp Authority logo on their packaging.
What are some of the top benefits you see when a person begins taking CBD regarding their sleep as well as overall health and wellness?
If your cortisol levels are elevated, it can keep you awake. CBD is thought to decrease this and keep your body in a homeostasis state. Lack of rest and ability for the body to recharge causes chronic stress, which suppresses an effective immune system. Your immune system can prioritize keeping you healthy or dealing with your stress, but it can’t focus on both.
