Calm by Wellness CBD products
When it comes to wellness, there are few products in higher demand than those infused with CBD. From gummies and tinctures to infused beverages and creams, it’s one of the biggest wellness trends right now. Thanks to its huge success in helping many with their ailments—whether mental issues like anxiety, insomnia or stress to physical ones like muscle pain—CBD products seem to offer just the right remedy for whatever is bothering you.
CBD, (cannabidoil), is a plant derivative found in the cannabis sativa or hemp plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the very well known psychoactive property in marijuana, CBD doesn’t get you high. With zero psychoactive properties, it’s used to calm, smooth and relax both the mind and body. Taking CBD can also help decrease inflammation, which is commonly tied to chronic pain.
That said, not all CBD products offer the same quality. Calm by Wellness is a CBD focused company run by a community of doctors, scientists, farmers, researchers, and everyday people who are passionate about helping individuals overcome their stressors through CBD oil.
Calm By Wellness’ CBD manufacturer uses domestic hemp grown in Oregon, Colorado and Minnesota. Unlike many brands, their CBD extract is raw, with no toxic solvents used. Their house grown hemp is certified non-GMO and organic. Using a one-of-a-kind proprietary blend that includes 80+ naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes, they pride themselves on never using cheap fillers.
We chatted with Ivan Kan, co-founder of Calm by Wellness, on the differences between types of CBD products, how to incorporate CBD products in to your everyday life and diet, and more. Here’s what he had to say.
What went into creating your first set of products and what types of roadblocks or difficulties did you come across?
Just like other CBD startup companies, we faced so many challenges along the way. The first one is the tight regulations and varying laws surrounding CBD. Another one is the public perception that CBD products will cause them to feel high. We have to work around that, continuously educating our users about the benefits of using CBD in physical and mental health.
What are the differences between your gummy products?
We have 5 gummy products. Our CBD gummies are the perfect morning treat to keep you satisfied for the whole day. One in the morning and one at night is perfect for providing you with relief from pain or anxiety. Our Hemp CBD Gummies and Hemp CBD Vegan Gummies are blended with the best formula to achieve a stress-free, calm mind! We have a commitment to giving your health and wellness the boost it needs and that’s why we created vegan CBD gummies.
Our Immune Support Gummies are filled with Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, and Elderberry Juice to give the immune system the added support it needs to keep us healthy, strong, and feeling our very best. Each Immune Support Gummy has 10 mg, THC-free, Broad Spectrum hemp extract CBD for an added calming effect.
Our Sleep Well Gummies are formulated to help you fall asleep and stay asleep longer. With 2mg of Melatonin per serving to kick start that sleep cycle, these powerful gummies also have Vitamin B6 to promote a positive mood and Passiflora Extract to reduce anxiety and insomnia.
And lastly, our Edible Gummies Maximum Strength has a unique blend of high quality, hemp health conscious ingredients. These smooth, flavorful gummies provide a calming high of happiness, pain relief, and restfulness. For those new to full spectrum, these gummies contain just 5mg for a smooth, mellow high, perfect for first time users. All you have to do is sit back and relax.

Why did you decide to make them vegan?
We’ve been heads-down developing new products. We think everybody (including vegans) should also enjoy the benefits of CBD in gummy form. With the World’s Best Gummy Bears, Albanese, as an inspiration and after months of research and experimentation, our gummy scientists (yes, that’s a real thing) finally came up with the perfect formula for our best CBD vegan gummies.
A lot goes into the formulation of gummies like what type of gelatin (or agar) is used, the water pH levels, and so much more. Pretty much everyone can agree on one thing, taste and texture are very important! So we think this sets us apart from other CBD Gummies in the market.
What is the best way to incorporate your products into daily life? Can you pair with food? Or coffee?
Morning Routine – Taken orally or can be paired with food or any drinks
CBD oil can be easily added to both food and drink. CBD is commonly combined with oil because CBD itself is a fat-soluble substance. This means that it breaks down most easily when it’s combined with a fat-based substance. So, feel free to add your drops to whatever it is your consuming for a CBD-charged meal or beverage.
Before and After workout – CBD creams for pain relief
After you workout, recovery is key to maintaining your body’s wellbeing. A great way to enhance your recovery and maximize your body’s “downtime” is by using CBD creams on your sore muscles to ease pain, swelling and general discomfort. If your body is feeling not-so-great, whether from athletic endeavors or simply sitting at your work desk for too long, using a cannabidiol cream is helpful to prevent inflammation.
Bedtime Routine – Oral or edibles
CBD is known to aid sleep issues. Whether ingesting drops or gummies, many individuals say that CBD actually improves sleep and helps lessen anxiety. CBD oil won’t leave you groggy in the morning and it’s effective enough, especially when taken in combination with melatonin, to help you get a quality nights sleep.
Which types of food or beverages enhance the effects of your products?
Studies show that high-fat food, the good fats mind you, can quadruple CBD absorption.
According to a University of Minnesota study, CBD exposure is largly increased when CBD is taken with high fatty foods. Moreover, when compared to fasting, taking CBD with food increased the amount of CBD in the body by four-times, with the maximum amount recorded in the participants’ blood by 14-times.
From CBD popcorn to CBD cereal, there are a lot of food CBD products coming out. Does CBD in different forms, whether snack food or a tincture, make a difference in how the effects are felt?
How you take CBD does plays a role in boosting the effects of different CBD products. The term, Bioavailability is used describe how much of something your body can absorb and put to use. According to researchers, CBD bioavailability is highest in inhaled products and lowest in oral products.
Basically, you’ll need to take more mg CBD per day if you were eating CBD gummies, than if you were using a CBD Oil Tincture. For a longer lasting experience, try adding CBD into your meals or drinks. Just keep in mind that it’ll take a while to feel.
Can you overdose on CBD?
There is no record of anyone ever overdosing on CBD. CBD is completely non-toxic. Also, all of the Calm by Wellness products lab reports show that our products have no detectable THC.
What are some key differences between high-quality CBD products and low-quality products?
There are several things to keep in mind. You want your oils to be sourced from hemp plants and be aware of where they get their hemp from. Understand their extraction method. In other words, high quality CBD oils tend to be extracted using CO2 extraction methods. Make sure the company you buy from is not selling products manufactured using solvents like butane, pentane, hexane, or propane.
Ensure that your brand is using 3rd party lab tests to ensure the quality of their products. You want to look for products that are full spectrum or labeled whole plant. Components like flavonoids, terpenes, and other cannabinoids are absent in isolates (products that aren’t full spectrum). Lastly, a good quality CBD oil will be non-GMO and derived from organic sources.
