Herbal Infusions + Targeted Ratios: Introducing Four New WholesomeCo Gummies

While we at WholesomeCo may be all-in on the benefits of cannabis, we also know there’s a whole plant kingdom of wellness solutions to boost those benefits. That’s where our new line of herb-infused cannabis gummies comes in. Formulated with herbal extracts to match your specific needs, these four new 10 mg offerings deliver balanced combinations of THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN, plus targeted herb infusions to help you Unwind, Energize, Soothe, and Doze. Let’s get acquainted:

Unwind

Constituent profile: 1 THC:1 CBD, 10 mg per gummy

Infused with: Lemon Balm

Flavor: Lemon Lavender

Lemon balm is a cousin of mint, long loved for its citrusy scent and laid-back personality. Boasting a long list of benefits, including cognitive, digestive, and inflammation support, Lemon Balm’s top talent is turning down the volume on stress. Pairing this key herb with a relaxing, blissful 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD, Unwind’s use of THC offers the classic euphoric benefits of cannabis, plus CBD’s non-psychoactive relaxation effects to help calm a busy mind. Unwind is made for the end of long, do-it-all days so that patients can move from stress to serenity. New to CBD (and other lesser-known cannabinoids, for that matter)? Read on for a primer.

Energize

Constituent profile: 1 THC:1 CBG, 10 mg per gummy

Infused with: Yerba Mate

Flavor: Raspberry

In-the-know caffeine chasers have long turned to Yerba Mate over coffee for their daily eye-opener. This traditional South American tea offers a crashless punch of energy, balanced out by relaxing theobromine (the feel-good chemical in chocolate), and a dose of antioxidants. These qualities come together for an energizing, fatigue-erasing mood- and memory-supporting tea extract that we’ve paired with a 1:1 ratio of THC and non-psychoactive CBG. So, while yerba mate brings the energy, psychoactive THC relaxes mind and body and non-psychoactive CBG calms racing thoughts to create an overall sense of relaxed focus that keeps you energized and smiling.

Soothe

Constituent profile: 1 THC:1 CBD:1 CBG, 10 mg per gummy

Infused with: Turmeric

Flavor: Citrus Ginger

Turmeric has its roots in two traditions: culinary and medicinal. This same earthy, peppery spice that’s the heart of Southeast Asian curries also boasts heart-healthy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory benefits, courtesy of the compound curcumin. Because inflammation can be the usual suspect behind an array of health complaints, from chronic pain to digestive issues, turmeric may be a good all-around support for what ails you. Soothe pairs this storied spice with a 1:1:1 trio of THC, CBD, and CBG, each of which are noted for their inflammation-fighting qualities. With this blend of natural ingredients, Soothe targets discomfort, inflammation, and chronic pain so that patients can get on with life.

Doze

Constituent profile: 1 THC:1 CBD:1 CBN, 10 mg per gummy

Infused with: Chamomile

Flavor: Honey apple

When it comes to best supporting a sweet night’s sleep, one herb stands out by a (chamo)mile. Chamomile’s ability to set the stage for peaceful bedtimes is thanks to apigenin, an antioxidant that interacts with parts of the brain responsible for rest. Not only does it help invite the drowsy vibes, but its relaxing effect can invite a deep breath, erasing the worries of the day and putting a restful night of sleep within reach. We’ve formulated Doze, our best-for-bedtime gummy, with an infusion of cozy chamomile, plus a 1:1:1 ratio of THC, CBD, and CBN—each of which has been studied for their potential to support high-quality shuteye. 

 

There’s much more to these formulas beyond the carefully selected herbal infusions. Each features an intentional, balanced ratio of four key cannabinoids: THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN to synergize with the herbal ingredients. Each of these compounds are related, but offer distinct effects, benefits, and degrees of psychoactivity. Ready for that primer we mentioned earlier? Let’s get into it:  

THC: The “classic” cannabis compound, THC stands for “tetrahydrocannabinol.” Most famously responsible for the euphoric effects of cannabis, THC offers benefits beyond relaxation of mind and body, potentially supporting a healthy appetite and digestive comfort during times of unease. As with the other three compounds, cannabis pharmacists look to THC for patients looking to address chronic pain, as well as stress and anxiety. 

CBD: The second-most famous cannabis compound, CBD stands for “cannabidiol.” CBD is gaining a great deal of visibility for a good reason: It’s a go-to for those seeking the relaxation and mental health benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects. CBD has been studied as a support for people experiencing chronic pain conditions such as migraine, arthritis, and neuropathy. Like THC, it’s also excellent for those looking to experience more full, restful nights of sleep. And while definitive research does not yet exist, CBD is also being studied for use in patients with neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy. 

CBG: Like CBD, CBG (or cannabigerol) is a relaxing, but non-psychoactive cannabinoid and precursor to both THC and CBD. Paired with these two compounds, CBG rounds out the Soothe formula to make it a helpful, comforting support for those experiencing chronic pain. But before you get the impression that CBG is just a CBD copycat, know that it has a few extra benefits up its sleeve: reducing interocular pressure for those suffering from glaucoma, as well as reducing inflammation for those suffering from chronic intestinal concerns. And as a member of the cannabinoid family, it goes without saying that CBG is relaxing and comforting when occasional stress comes to call.

CBN: As THC degrades over time, it becomes CBN (or cannabinol), a minimally psychoactive compound that does not produce a sense of euphoria or intoxication. A relative newcomer to the cannabinoid conversation, CBN’s effects are still being studied, but early research suggests that it supports high-quality sleep (hello, Doze!) and, in animal studies, reduced inflammation and pain from arthritis. 

So, while each of these four cannabinoids offers overlapping and complementary effects—relaxation, high-quality sleep, support for managing chronic pain conditions, and reducing inflammation—they each have distinct benefits to offer. They also require common-sense precautions, such as avoiding use if pregnant or nursing, and consulting with a physician or pharmacist to identify drug interactions and health counterindications. As with any medication or herbal supplement, patients should consult with their provider before use.

We’re excited to pair these balanced ratios of cannabinoids with the benefits of whole-plant herbal infusions for those in need of targeted benefits. While cannabis has so much to offer on its own, these new gummies boost those benefits with some of nature’s most well-regarded herbs.
