  • CBD for Focus made in Canada.

    CBD for Focus made in Canada.

    In today’s fast-paced world, we often find ourselves struggling to stay focused and alert, especially during stressful times. Many of us turn to coffee and energy drinks to stay awake, but these often come with negative side effects like jitters and crashes. However, there’s a natural alternative that’s gaining popularity for its ability to boost focus and concentration without these side effects: CBD.

    CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, another compound found in cannabis, CBD does not produce psychoactive effects. Instead, it works with our body’s endocannabinoid system to promote balance and homeostasis. Research has shown that CBD can have a variety of potential health benefits, including reducing anxiety and depression, improving sleep, and alleviating pain and inflammation.

    In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of CBD specifically for focus and concentration, and how First Wonder’s Canadian-made products can help you stay sharp and alert throughout the day.

    The Science of CBD and Focus

    To understand how CBD can benefit focus and concentration, it’s important to understand how our brain works. Our brains have two types of attention: sustained attention and selective attention. Sustained attention is our ability to maintain focus on a task over a period of time, while selective attention is our ability to focus on one specific thing while ignoring distractions.

    Research has shown that CBD can affect both types of attention. In a 2014 study, researchers found that CBD improved sustained attention and reduced impulsivity in rats. Another study published in 2020 found that CBD improved selective attention in humans. These findings suggest that CBD may be able to improve our ability to focus on tasks and ignore distractions.

    Calyx Wellness Reviews: Direct from Customers.

    My experience with Calyx Wellness has been interesting and unforeseen. I have received many first hand Calyx Wellness reviews. Before opening this online retail space, I owned a brick and mortar health food store in Burlington Ontario which opened in 1985. Our store catered to the local community of seniors and new families for over 35 years. The shop was made popular by selling both bulk food (scoop your own) and supplements. Our supplement section was very thorough and our staff incredibly knowledgeable.

    During Christmas of 2018, many of our customers were asking if we could get CBD into our store. The hype of Canadian legalization was in full effect. I spent a long time looking for products that would be interesting to our customers. Unfortunately that was a lot harder than expected at the time. Yes there were DIY options available, but the wholesalers were less than reputable.

    At that time, one of our staff mentioned a brand that she’d seen refereed to at her veterinarian clinic. The doctor prescribed her aging dog some CBD to help him get through the tough days. This doctor suggested that she visit Calyx Wellness Centre. She visited that store and found a stunning boutique style shop selling high quality, lab tested CBD products. The store was clean, the products were gorgeous and there was a lineup at the register!

    She returned from her trip and told me all about it, I was intrigued.

    There’s something to be said about a product range that is fully flushed out and offers something for everyone. Their products range from tinctures to capsules, and even pet options with yummy cod liver oil!

    I don’t think I was ready for what came next.

    I called their main phone and asked for a sales person, within minutes I had placed my first order. The first order was 2 of each product. We put it on our shelf at the entrance of the store and hoped that the chatter would live up to the hype. Thankfully, it did!

    Within 2 days I was placing my second order, this time adding much more inventory, the testing phase was officially over. The demand was incredible, and people kept returning to restock. The speed at which CBD moved off our shelves was rivaled only by Vitamin C and Magnesium. It was amazing for business and our customers were so happy they could visit their local health food store and get information from our staff that they could trust.

    As customers took home their first foray into CBD, they began returning with stories. I’ll quickly cover a few reviews that made me smile. Below are some Calyx Wellness Reviews.

    • A regular customer and good friend asked if the Heal+ 2000mg would help his wife get a full nights sleep. She suffered from a multitude of degenerative issues that made sleeping without pain a distant memory. Fast forward 2 weeks when the husband returns. He reports that not only can she sleep through the night, her first night was a whopping 20 hours (I think she was very behind on sleep). The dose was a little high, but the relief was obvious. She believes around 25mg was the right dose for her, 30 minutes before bed time.
    • A sweet old lady in her mid 80’s asked our staff about pain medicine for her dog. Her Maltese was aging and no longer wanted to get our of bed. Getting her to eat was a chore, and she had no energy for walks. We suggested the Relief 250mg for Pets, made with cod liver oil. She took it home and we hoped for the best. Fast forward 2 weeks and the customer returned. She hugged and praised our staff member for the suggestion because (and I quote) “She’s like a puppy again!”. Heartfelt moment for the sweet lady and her fur baby. She estimated 10mg twice a day was effective.
    • Enter, business man. A regular customer at our store, always superbly dressed visits and sees we have CBD on the shelf. Intrigued, he wonders if it will help him get a full night sleep. Without hesitation he buys the Heal 1000mg tincture. He comes back the next day full of energy, happy to report that he got a full 8 hours sleep and he had forgotten how good it feels. He found 25mg before bed was just right.
    • A recently retired CN Train worker visits our store looking for Arthritis relief. His hands and knuckles are incredibly swollen and aching. He’s heard that CBD might help his condition, so he picks up the Heal+ 2000mg tincture. A few days later he visits with good news! Mobility in his hands has improved dramatically and the nagging ache has stopped completely. He’s headed to Newfoundland for 6 months so he stocks up and buys 5 bottles, plus a Smooth+ 1200mg cream. Happy customer indeed. He found 25mg twice a day was effective.
    • A friend of mine can’t sleep through the night. She would wake up around 3am to use the washroom. After that, getting back to sleep was a battle. Her high stress working life would cause her mind to race and prevent a comfortable return to bed. She tried using Heal 1000mg the moment she awoke for the washroom. As a result she reported that within 30 minutes she could get back to sleep! She found 20mg to be effective but sometimes doubled it if her head was spinning.
    • A local real estate agent visited our store with some ongoing anxiety issues. It’s a fast paced world and sometimes it’d get get the best of her. She would feel a rising tension that led to a variety of anxiety related issues including increased heart rate, lightheadedness, mood swings and more. She purchased the Calm 600mg spray. This is a unique products because it’s peppermint flavoured and comes in a spray. It’s the perfect purse companion. She was happy to report that 2-3 sprays under the tongue miraculously averted anxiety attacks during the day. She couldn’t believe it, but by this point I certainly did.

    I could go on and on. We sold hundreds of bottles of CBD from Calyx Wellness and never heard a single complaint, only praise.

    I’ve been speaking with the staff at Calyx and have learned that they’re coming out with more Calm 600mg flavours (currently only offering peppermint). They’re also releasing some new products including an ultra-high dose tincture at a value price point. The future is bright for Calyx Wellness and I couldn’t be happier shipping these products out to our happy customers.

    One last thing, many of our online customers have left even more Calyx Wellness reviews on the product pages. Here’s a few!
