Imagine a world without caffeine and energy drinks (yelp, don’t panic just yet). Now imagine replacing those stimulants to achieve the same effect with CBD oil for energy and focus.

If you’re still doubtful, take into account the lengthy list of side effects we experience from caffeine addiction. Coffee-lovers and energy drink fans may become dizzy, dehydrated, and disorganized.

Other drawbacks to excessive caffeine consumption include increased anxiety and insomnia [1]

Look, the appeal of a hot cup of coffee is difficult to argue—especially in the winter but more specifically in the morning when it’s early and cold.

And denying the temptation of energy drinks is no different. People like the taste whether they’re exercising or running errands. It’s the boost of energy they’re after.

On the other hand, cannabis can also be a stimulant when combined with Coffeeberry (more on this later). For now, let’s answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind: Can CBD oil give you energy?

Ongoing research aims to pinpoint the body’s reaction to CBD (aka cannabidiol), a compound found in cannabis. Cannabinoids are already active in your body, even if you have never consumed cannabis.

Using cannabis activates receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) [2] to release hormones such as dopamine and serotonin.

These two “happy hormones” [3] are associated with attention, pleasure, and metabolism. CBD oil is a natural supplement with mood-enhancing properties. When you use CBD, your brain receives signals which bind to different receptors. Finally, the ECS takes action by activating effects such as focus and energy.

So, CBD oil does give you more energy because it mutually benefits the ECS. But what makes it better than energy drinks and coffee?

In this article, we list nine reasons to convince you to use CBD for energy (your wallet and body will thank you after ditching those daily Starbucks visits).

#9: CBD for energy is cost-effective

Let’s do some figuring: say you spend $7 a day on coffee or energy drinks (depending on the size, barista tip, and add-ins). Weekly, you spend about $49. Monthly, about $196. Yearly, that’s $2,352 just on caffeine.

That’s an expensive habit. But there are affordable CBD products available that can help you stretch your money farther.

For instance, you can “micro-dose” CBD oil in water, juices, or smoothies. Most CBD oils are sold in 15-30mL bottles. Plus, you only need a couple of drops to feel the effect.

Sovereignty sells a CBG/CBD fortified energy supplement called Purpose for $5 per serving. Looking at the long-term savings, CBD for energy is more cost-effective than other pick-me-ups (and more sustainable health-wise too).

#8: You can save time

The main reason we drink caffeine is because of the energy “jolt” or “burst.” We buy coffee and energy drinks for the quick fix. But you might not realize that CBD actually works even faster.

As a consumable, CBD enters the bloodstream more quickly because it doesn’t take as long to pass through the digestive tract to metabolize [4]. For this reason, CBD has a higher bioavailability and goes into effect immediately.

We waste a lot of time navigating, ordering, and waiting in line at coffee shops and gas stations. You can conserve time by simply mixing our Bio-Wrapped™ CBD energy powder in water at home (keeping you hydrated too). We’ll even ship Purpose to you.

#7: Skip the caffeine “crash”

One of the more common side effects of regular energy supplements is the eventual “crash.” You might start feeling groggy with a slight headache.

The disappointing reality is that most coffee and energy drinks only provide short-term energy; whereas CBD for energy lasts hours.

Purpose supplies you with 3-6 hours of extended focus due in part to our custom Energy Terpene Formula with limonene and pinene. Because we use other adaptogens (i.e: plants that help your body adapt), you avoid the crash as well.

#6: CBD energy products contain less sugar

Some are even sugar-free! Although CBD companies might add a couple of grams of sugar for flavor. Compared to fatty, sugary blended coffees, CBD wins by a landslide.

You can try our berry-flavored CBD mix with less than 2g of sugar. By focusing on the CBD profile and balancing taste, we finished with a caffeinated alternative that won’t make you “crash.”

#5: CBD enhances mood

While energy drinks may encourage sociability—young people consume them at higher rates especially when mixed with alcohol— clinical trials suggest they cause high blood pressure [5].

CBD oil is good for anxiety, depression, and insomnia. One person described being able to “get into work mode without any jitters” after using Sovereignty’s CBD energy supplement.

#4: No more pain and increased energy?

Increased stamina tends to lighten your mood, but for those who live with body pain, feeling “peppy” isn’t always a choice. However, CBD helps manage pain so you can feel better after all.

Those who suffer from chronic pain, inflammation, and arthritis [6] can try CBD for stamina and focus. Research findings also suggest CBD oil for illnesses like cancer and fibromyalgia.

The cannabis plant has multi-use properties that could cure diseases (compare this to fast-acting yet ineffective energy drinks with zero health perks).

#3: CBD with Coffeeberry is organic

Coffeeberry is the fruit seed of the coffee plant. It packs powerful antioxidants which is why we blended it with CBD/CBG in our Purpose formula.

Natural, plant-based, and ethically-sourced, you can trust what you’re putting into your body. The health rewards will prove themselves.

#2: CBD helps productivity

People boast about their improved focus, endurance, and performance after using CBD.

“Taking Purpose was like a fog being lifted from my eyes—I became more productive than I’ve been in months.” (from one of our fans)

Accomplishing more in less time is one reason to take CBD oil for energy, but not the #1 reason.

#1: CBD does a little bit for everyone

Based on this countdown, CBD is a supplement option for people will all kinds of needs (+18 ). Young and old people can feel the impact of increased vitality and reason to save more time and money with CBD.
