With wellness drinks on the rise, two terms often pop up: CBD and adaptogens. While both can play a role in relaxation and balance, they are not the same thing. Let’s explore the key differences and why some people enjoy them together.

What is CBD?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in hemp. It’s non-intoxicating and often used in beverages like Shimmerwood’s Just Hemp Seltzer for its calming and grounding properties. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t cause a “high,” but many people enjoy it for supporting relaxation and balance in their daily routine.

What are Adaptogens?

Adaptogens are a group of herbs and mushrooms believed to help the body adapt to stress. Popular adaptogens include ashwagandha, reishi, rhodiola, and ginseng. These ingredients are often found in teas, powders, and wellness tonics.

CBD vs Adaptogens: Key Differences

• Source: CBD comes from hemp; adaptogens are plants and fungi.
• Focus: CBD is often associated with calm and relaxation. Adaptogens are said to help with stress resilience and balance.
• Formats: CBD commonly appears in oils, gummies, and seltzers; adaptogens are used in teas, powders, and capsules.

Do They Work Well Together?

Yes—many people find that CBD and adaptogens complement each other. A CBD seltzer can offer a clear-headed sense of relaxation, while adaptogens may provide additional support for stress and energy balance.

Why Choose CBD Seltzer First?

CBD drinks like Ginger Orange Shimmer Seltzer provide an easy, refreshing way to integrate CBD into your day. They’re consistent, portable, and enjoyable—making them a great starting point before exploring more complex adaptogen blends.

Takeaway

CBD and adaptogens both have a place in today’s wellness conversation, but they serve different roles. If you’re looking for a simple way to unwind, Shimmerwood Seltzers are a convenient and flavorful way to start.
