What Are the Benefits of Hemp Gummies

If you experience joint pain or discomfort, frequent feelings of stress or overwhelm, or difficulty sleeping, hemp gummies may be a natural way to relieve these challenges and promote wellness in your body as a whole.

Especially as we get older, joint pain, stress, and sleep difficulties become more common. While there are various medical treatments for these symptoms, they can be expensive, time consuming, and impractical for life.

This is where hemp comes in. Hemp has increased in popularity as an alternative method of relieving these symptoms (and more) while being affordable, easy to use, and convenient for whatever lifestyle you live.

Hemp gummies are possibly one of the most convenient ways to use hemp, as all you have to do is chew and swallow, and can help you feel more relaxed while working to soothe your body and promote overall wellness.

Ingredients in Our Hemp Gummies

Before taking any new supplement, it’s important to know what ingredients are in them. This also helps you know how they work. Here’s a list of important ingredients in Because’s Hemp Extract Gummies!

Broad Spectrum CBD

There are three different concentrations of CBD: full spectrum, broad spectrum CBD, and CBD isolate. Each type of CBD is characterized by its ingredients. Full-spectrum CBD relief cream contains all the ingredients extracted from the cannabis sativa plant. This includes THC, which is the psychoactive component of cannabis responsible for the high associated with hemp. However, it’s important to note that full spectrum CBD products cannot make you high. Any over the counter CBD product labeled as full spectrum CBD must have less than a fraction of a percent of THC to be federally legal, meaning you can’t get high off of anything we sell here at Because. Broad spectrum CBD, on the other hand, filters out THC while containing all other components of the plant, meaning it doesn’t pack quite as beneficial of a punch, but can still definitely help support your wellness.

MCT Oil

MCT oil has been known to have many health benefits as well. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. Triglycerides are fats that are stored by the body or used as energy. MCTs are fats found in coconut oil, whole milk, butter, and palm kernel oil.

What differentiates MCTs from other triglycerides is the length of their carbon chains. All triglycerides consist of one glycerol molecule with three fatty acids. Additional carbons can be added or taken away depending on if the triglyceride is short, medium, or long. Medium-chain triglycerides have 6 to 12 carbons in their chain.

These fats are great for the body for a number of reasons. They are absorbed quickly and used as energy. They can also be used by the body as ketones, or a source of energy for the brain other than sugar. These triglycerides are also less likely to be absorbed as body fat and more likely to be burned as energy. Overall, MCT oil is an efficient and healthy option to provide energy for the body.

Citric Acid

Citric acid is a common ingredient used for flavoring and preserving food items, but it comes with a few health benefits as well! It is a natural compound found in fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, pineapples, cherries, tomatoes, strawberries, and cranberries. It helps our bodies convert food into usable energy, it promotes the absorption of nutrients in our stomachs, and it can even play a role in preventing kidney stones!

Hemp Gummies and Pain

Whether you experience soreness from a particularly tough work out, everyday aches that just come with your day in and day out, or some tension and feelings of stress from life’s many speed bumps, hemp gummies can help support your body in doing what it needs to do from muscle recovery to getting a good night’s sleep.

If you live with joint pain, muscle soreness, tension, or discomfort from an injury, hemp gummies can help to temporarily relieve some of this pain. This is due to its properties that soothe inflammation.

Inflammation is a natural event in our bodies. It’s our way of defending tissues and organs against potential harm. When we get injured or hurt, our bodies respond with inflammation to protect tissues and blood vessels and more, which is then seen as swelling in and around the hurt area. The National Center for Biotechnology Information explains that inflammation is a common source of pain. In other words, if you feel pain in any area of your body, whether it’s your joints, muscles, or organs, there may be some form of inflammation present!

Hemp gummies are so effective because the CBD works to target inflammation and help soothe it, working to temporarily alleviate pain and discomfort. By targeting pain at its source, hemp gummies are an easy way to provide relief for everyday aches and pains.

If you enjoy the benefits of hemp gummies but prefer a topical pain reliever, you can also try our full-spectrum CBD relief cream for fast, targeted relief that also works to nourish your skin.

Hemp Gummies and Stress

No matter what age you are, life comes with even a little bit of stress in one way or another. You may feel overwhelmed by your job duties at work or by your responsibilities at home. You may feel unprepared for an event or situation and worry about its outcome. You just might feel general feelings of stress all the time and not know how to address it.

While mental health struggles call for professional attention and much more than taking wellness supplements, there are some benefits of taking hemp gummies to soothe these feelings and help you feel a little more emotionally balanced and calm.

Broad spectrum CBD is well known for its mental wellness benefits. Not only are the cannabidiols, terpenes, and flavonoids in CBD responsible for the beneficial effects on our emotions, they also help target stress at the source. They also promote emotional balance and can reduce feelings of stress by supporting how our body naturally handles stress management.

Hemp Gummies and Sleep

A good night’s sleep is important, but poor sleep seems to be a rising trend. The American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) reports that 70% of American adults don’t get enough sleep at least one night each month. A shocking 11% report not getting enough sleep every night. Poor sleep can negatively impact health in a number of ways.

Firstly, not getting a good night’s sleep results in daytime drowsiness. Feeling drowsy throughout the day can lead to brain fog, poor decisions, and lack of focus. It can also affect your sleep schedule for the following night as you’re more likely to nap during the day. If you’re operating machinery, driving while drowsy, or using the oven or ironing board while sleepy, you may be less careful, and this could result in injury at the least.

Poor sleep can also affect the immune system. When we get an inadequate amount of sleep, our immune cells and our body as a whole doesn’t get a chance to rest and recharge. This impairs their ability to fight off sickness.

Inadequate sleep can also lead to weight gain. The hormone ghrelin is produced when we don’t get enough sleep. This hormone promotes appetite. On top of this, the hormone that signals satiety is reduced when we get poor sleep, so our bodies have a tougher time knowing when we’re full.

Poor sleep also negatively affects mood, productivity, heart health, memory, and more, so getting enough sleep is essential to our health as a whole at any age.

Hemp gummies are an easy way to promote better sleep because they help us feel calmer, more relaxed, and ready to get to bed. External factors that cause sleep deprivation include feelings of stress, anxiety, and discomfort. Whether you’re up all night with thoughts racing through your head or can’t fall asleep due to some nagging soreness, hemp can help relieve these feelings and help you fall asleep.

Helpful Tip: If you live with incontinence, you may experience loss of sleep or frequent sleep disruption due to nighttime incontinence. Luckily, there are tools available to you that can help keep you fresh, dry, and asleep throughout the night. If you use incontinence underwear, consider trying an overnight absorbency to keep you dry longer. Our underwear can hold up to six cups of liquid and are great for both larger voids of urine or small leaks. You can also try a bed protector for extra protection to keep you comfy through the night.

Summary

Whether you live with everyday aches and pains, have trouble sleeping, or deal with frequent feelings of stress and worry, CBD-rich hemp can help provide some relief. Packed with antioxidants, healthy triglycerides, and full-body wellness benefits, broad spectrum CBD works from the inside out to put some pep back in your step.

What easier way can you take care of your body than with deliciously easy to take hemp gummies?
