There are few things I’m more skeptical of than a CBD product that claims to increase energy and productivity. While it’s possible, it’s a tricky genre that consists of mostly ineffective products with a few fantastic ones built-in. This is mainly due to the fact that CBD is not an inherently energizing substance. While it can help relieve the anxiety that contributes to procrastination, CBD is more relaxing than anything else, so for these products to really work, they need to use additional ingredients to get the job done.
In the press release announcing the launch of Go, New Phase Blends CEO Dale Hewett was quoted as saying, “I really think CBD is an excellent natural supplement, but it works best when combined with others. natural compounds “. And he is right.
When New Phase Blends released Go – CBD Oil for Energy, a tincture that combines a low dose of CBD with synephrine, a natural stimulant derived from bitter orange, I was intrigued.
No stranger to adding natural substances to enhance the effects of CBD, the Florida brand, which specializes in patented effects-based CBD blends, had already amazed me with Sleep, its melatonin / CBD tincture that remains one of the most effective sleep aids I have. I have never experienced.
So let’s take a look at Go.
First impression
When I first tried Go I thought, “What is synephrine?” After a quick Google search, I found that synephrine, an alkaloid found in the skin and fruit of bitter orange, is a common ingredient in natural weight loss supplements known for its stimulant effect. .
The caffeine-like stimulant is used to increase concentration and productivity, but supposedly does not cause caffeine energy shock or increase in blood pressure associated with ephedra, a similar stimulant herb that was banned. in 2004 by the FDA due to its tendency to increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Synephrine has also been linked to an increase in fat oxidation rates during exercise, which means it could help you burn more fat during physical activity.
The aroma of Go is a blend of mint and citrus, both stimulating and welcoming. Although the tinctures tend not to smell much, or worse, smell of flowery hay, I found this to be a bright, delicate scent that made me feel excited to experience the product.
The brand of all New Phase Blends products is clean and medicinal, and Go is no exception. In a standard amber tincture bottle with an orange and white label, the aesthetics of the tincture have nothing to stand out, but it has a medicinal presence that I trust immediately.
Taste
The taste is what I like least about this product. While mint does its best to cover the taste of synephrine, it is clear that it is derived from bitter orange, the key word is bitter. There is a sharp, spicy taste that I had a hard time catching on my own. However, when I put the tincture in juice or tea, the taste was barely detectable, which was easy to fix.
Effectiveness
I found Go to be extremely effective, light years ahead of its competitors in space. Almost immediately after I ingested this bright, bitter blend, it was like the touch of an Adderall or a Venti iced coffee that crossed my mind at the same time.
I felt clear, focused and alert without the nervous physique that often comes with stimulants.
Experience
Most days, I wake up getting out of bed. Although on this particular day, the weight of the consequences of procrastination made me heavy. There was no time left. The work he had left untouched for too long simply had to end.
Rolling from bed to a pile on the floor, I materialized in the living room, staring at a coffee table full of cannabis products. I check them to make a living, so to say I have many would be an understatement. It was reduced to the pre-rolls of Sour Diesel, Super Silver Haze Live Resin, “Focus” jelly beans, Tommy Chong’s Energy Shot or Go: CBD Oil for Energy. I chose Go and immediately emptied half of the dropper into my mouth.
The taste was strong and bitter enough to feel my pupils dilate. I put the rest in my juice and finished it. While the taste was surely abrasive, it aroused a latent fire of energy that started the experience as soon as it entered my system.
Almost immediately, I went from a sleepy, cozy version of myself to an unstoppable machine, finishing items, cleaning things up, and existing in a state of wild productivity. While I normally use coffee to achieve this monster workflow state, coffee is hard on my weak stomach and often makes me feel nauseous, anxious, and physically shaken.
After a few hours, I felt the energizing aspect of the tincture begin to wane, but the physical inconveniences of consuming stimulants never came. Instead, I went from feeling bright and productive to bright and relaxed. Then I went hungry, ate, and fell asleep.
Bottom line
New Phase Blends Go Tincture is a truly amazing alternative to the more harmful productivity aids like coffee, energy drinks and Adderall. I ended up much more than I thought on a day without any of the negative aspects that often entails transforming you into a gear at the helm of capitalism.
If you have a lot of things to do and you don’t feel like doing it, this tincture can help you do it without your typical stimulant side effects. And the best part, unlike almost every other CBD productivity aid on the market, this one really worked for me.
