Situational Dosing

There’s more than one road back to your center, choosing the right path all depends on where you’re starting from! Your ideal Dose can change from week to week, day to day, even hour to hour, depending on your needs at that time. TONIC Doses are designed with that variability in mind, allowing for a more targeted, consistent, and effective way to restore your essential balance.

For example, let’s say your usual go-to for a balanced day is The O.G., but you’re in pain from yesterday’s tough workout or from sleeping in a funky position last night. In that case, switching from The O.G. to Flex might be your best bet to keep you balanced with less pain throughout the day.

Situational Dosing is all about being able to adapt to what your mind and body need at any given time. That means not only knowing where you’re starting from but knowing where you want to go. What does “center”, or your ideal state of balance, feel like? What are the factors pushing you away from the center? Being able to answer these questions starts with really tuning in, listening to your body and connecting with what’s going on within you and around you.

While you work on sharpening those skills, we are here to help map out your path back to the center a little more clearly. Consider this a “cheat sheet”, but please understand that your most significant results will come from a true connection to and compassion for your body’s ever-changing needs.

When to Choose What

We are going to run through each TONIC Dose to provide you with real-life examples of when you would need it and why.

When is Flex TONIC the right choice?

Flex contains 33mg CBD/1mL dose, along with a 33% concentration of black seed oil. This combination makes Flex the prime choice for controlling inflammation, supporting immune function and gut health, and providing an overall sense of calming balance.

If you deal with chronic pain or auto-immune issues, use Flex in the morning for less inflammation and more balance throughout the day. You may require an additional dose later in the day if your pain is severe.

Flex is also a great choice if you are fighting off a cold, having some GI issues, or generally need some increased immune support.

Need a recovery boost after a tough workout? Flex can help accelerate workout recovery and help you come back stronger!

Something else to keep in mind is whether or not herbs like ashwagandha are right for you. If you are pregnant, struggle with thyroid issues, or take medications that can interact with ashwagandha, then you should first speak with your doctor and likely forego The O.G. and Chill in favor of Flex.

When is The O.G. TONIC is the right choice?

The O.G. has a 23mg CBD/1mL dose, a 27% concentration of black seed oil, and the very important addition of ashwagandha root. Ashwagandha, like CBD, helps to strengthen your inner forces against the effects of outer forces (stress). They are both working towards the same goal – restoring and maintaining homeostasis, your body’s ideal state of balance – but they take different pathways to get there.

Combining CBD and ashwagandha essentially double down on each other’s balancing effects to greatly improve your capacity for stress while improving feelings of well-being and boosting mental clarity.

Take O.G. in the morning to level out and level up. A dropper full of O.G. with your morning coffee is a great way to start the day with less stress.

Feeling an afternoon slump coming on? The O.G. can give you the stress-busting boost you need. If you’ve already taken a full dropper in the morning, start with .5mL (or half of a dropper) in the afternoon. If necessary, you can bump that up to another full dropper dose.

Another great time to take The O.G. is before a workout. Ashwagandha has not only been shown to improve focus but physical endurance as well! It is a great way to keep your body and mind feeling good during and after your workout!

When is Chill the right choice?

Chill features 27mg CBD/1mL dose, a 23% concentration of black seed oil, ashwagandha root PLUS super-calming lemon balm, and passionflower. Chill provides a more calming experience than The O.G. because of the way in which lemon balm and passionflower work to slow down your nervous system and promote physical and mental relaxation. The slightly higher dose of CBD also makes Chill a more effective tool for managing high-tension situations.

Use Chill when anxiety levels are running high, especially if you are carrying a lot of nervous tension.

Take some Chill to unwind after a long day and allow yourself to relax.

Chill is great for quieting your mind when it feels like your thoughts go from 0-100 as soon as your head hits the pillow.

If you struggle with Restless Leg Syndrome or could otherwise benefit from calming your nervous system, Chill could be a helpful part of you and your doctor’s overall plan to manage your condition.

When is Grounded the right choice?

Grounded is our highest strength Dose, and is also our only Dose made with a whole-flower extract. Whole-flower extracts are not as refined as the distillate used in our other Doses. Grounded retains more of the plant’s original profile of healing compounds, which means a higher concentration of minor cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals.

By delivering a high concentration of the plant’s therapeutic compounds, Grounded is able to deeply nourish your Endocannabinoid System to help you achieve greater mind-body balance, comfort, and ease.

Use Grounded to take the edge off during the day. Start with 1/2 – 3/4 of a dropper (.5mL – .75mL) during the day and enjoy feeling just a little softer. For further soothing comfort, you can up that to a full 1mL  serving.

Grounded is a great way to soothe your body and mind to help you relax into a more restful night’s sleep.

Grounded is our most versatile Dose. You can use it orally or topically, on yourself or on your dog! If giving Grounded to your pet, remember to start small (.25-.5mL).

 

Things to keep in mind

These are general recommendations based on what we have seen work for our customers and ourselves. This should not be taken as medical advice. If you are unsure how CBD or any other ingredients may interact with an existing treatment plan please consult your doctor.

Also note that Flex, The O.G., and Chill contain pure maple in a concentration that amounts to less than .2g of sugar per serving. Maple was purposefully chosen for its incredibly low glycemic impact (even lower than honey!). We use locally sourced maple that isn’t filled with garbage ingredients like mass-market brands. So, overall the maple serves to cut the bitterness of the black seed oil without spiking blood sugar levels. It makes your Dose delicious without compromising quality!

Flex, The O.G., and Chill are all available in 0 THC options upon request. If you require 0 THC, just add the eligible product(s) to your cart, and when you check out simply write “0 THC” in the notes section!

Last, but certainly not least, if you are still unsure of your best option you can take our quiz! Answer a brief series of questions and we’ll give you a personalized product recommendation.
