One of the most buzzed about terms with the health space over the past few years is “CBD.” Unfortunately it is not easy to explain what CBD — a non-psycho-active cannabinoid present in both cannabis and hemp — is to the everyday person. And on top of that, not all CBD-related products are regulated by the FDA. However, many medical professional are excited about the benefits of CBD.
Below are 10 CBD-related brands and/or products I have recently discovered per research and/or pitches I have received over the last few months that are absolutely worth looking into.
Xtract Energy’s energy drinks feature no sugar, no calories, and no aspartame. As every drink is sweetened with Stevia and Monk fruit, Xtract Energy includes 20mg of CBD and 120mg of caffeine within every 12 oz. can. Made from hemp-derived CBD isolate, Xtract Energy contains no THC and is rich in vitamin B. Made in Virginia Beach, Xtract Energy is available for purchase via its website in 2 flavors: Citrus and Berry.
Sweet Reason is a hemp and cannabis beverage company that exists to calm the minds of humankind. The company is focused on bringing the health and calming benefits of CBD into the mainstream by offering consumers clean beverages that are truly healthy and taste great. In other words, think of Sweet Reason as your guide to present mornings, productive afternoons and restful evenings with its core line of award-winning Sparkling Waters and brand new Evening Blend beverages; and if that isn’t great enough, Sweet Reason donates 1 percent of its sales to mental health initiatives.
Sweet Reason saw its biggest sales spike on Election Day 2020, with sales having climbed 12.4 times any other day. That’s a 1237 percent increase in one day for its recently-launched Evening Blend collection, which was created to help unwind after stressful days and find a sense of calm. One of the highest dosed CBD beverages on the market, Evening Blend is a powerful blend of 30 mg of broad spectrum hemp extract along with calming herbs and adaptogens including ashwagandha, ginseng, l-theanine, chamomile, sceletium, lemon balm and limonene, all in effective, therapeutic dosages.

The drank is available in 4 balanced and bold flavors: Blood Orange Bitters, Watermelon Wave, Lemon Ginger and the new Grapefruit Hibiscus.

Hot Sloth Hot Sauce is lightly-fermented with umeboshi (Japanese pickled plum) and made with habanero, the funk and “umami” of white miso, dragon fruit, and loaded with antioxidants, Vitamin C, USDA organic olive oil, and cannabidiol from Pot d’Huile’s CBD cold-pressed, single-varietal (Frantoio). In turn, Hot Sloth is the slow-burn, superfood sauce of any epicure’s dreams. Hot Sloth Hot Sauce — in a 125ml bottle featuring 300mg of CBD in total — is available for purchase and delivery nationwide via the Pot d’Huile online store, with a THC-infused SKU expected to be released sometime soon.
Offering 22 oz. beverages with 10mg of THC per drink in 2 unique flavor options — Cucumber Citron and Citrus Rose — Calexo was designed to be sipped and savored with a rapid on-set of 15 minutes. In turn, newcomers to cannabis to safely dose themselves out via Calexo. As pointed out on its website, Calexo is not intended to work like an edible: “Calexo offers a cannabis experience more similar to inhalation than edibles through sublingual absorption. This means you get more of the uplifting, cerebral delta-9-THC cannabinoids, and fewer of the potent and body-high oriented 11-hydroxy-THC cannabinoids.” Now available in dispensaries across California.
