Sometimes less really is more. Shimmerwood seltzers use 5 mg of broad-spectrum CBD per can—a level designed for clarity, consistency, and daily enjoyment. Here’s why that low dose works better than you might expect.
What “Low-Dose” Actually Means
In the CBD world, products range from micro-dose (5 mg) to high-dose (25–50 mg+). Shimmerwood sits on the lower end intentionally: our goal isn’t to overwhelm your system but to integrate CBD seamlessly into your lifestyle—just like a sparkling water, not a supplement capsule.
Broad-Spectrum vs. Isolate vs. Full-Spectrum
| Type | Contains | Includes THC? | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broad-Spectrum (Shimmerwood) | CBD + other cannabinoids + natural terpenes | No (0.0% THC) | Balanced effects without intoxication |
| CBD Isolate | Pure CBD only | No | For flavorless, single-compound formulations |
| Full-Spectrum | CBD + all hemp compounds + trace THC (<0.3%) | Yes (trace) | Used where THC is legally permitted |
Shimmerwood’s broad-spectrum approach preserves hemp’s natural balance while staying 100% THC-free.
Why 5 mg Works
- Consistency: A low, repeatable dose keeps results steady without sedation or fogginess.
- Bioavailability: Beverages absorb faster than edibles or oils, making 5 mg feel present yet subtle.
- Flexibility: Easy to enjoy during work hours, post-workout, or before bed without side effects.

FAQ
Will 5 mg of CBD do anything?
Yes—especially in beverage form. 5 mg broad-spectrum CBD offers gentle calm and balance without sedation or intoxication.
How is broad-spectrum different from isolate?
Broad-spectrum retains natural plant compounds and terpenes for fuller flavor and a balanced feel. Isolate contains CBD alone and can taste flat or synthetic.
Does full-spectrum CBD contain THC?
Yes, full-spectrum products include trace amounts of THC (up to 0.3%). Shimmerwood seltzers use 0.0% THC broad-spectrum hemp.
