Focus + Mushrooms

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of many active compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBD is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from various parts of the plant and used to impart a feeling of relaxation and improve overall health. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.

CBG stands for cannabigerol, which is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. Research suggests that CBG may have potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties, neuroprotective effects, and antibacterial properties.

CBG and CBD are both cannabinoids found in cannabis plants, but they have different chemical structures and effects. CBG is considered a minor cannabinoid because it is present in lower concentrations compared to CBD and THC.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a compound found in the cannabis plant and has psychoactive properties, meaning it can get you "high". All Arktis Naturals products contain 0% THC. Lab reports for each product can be found on our product pages to confirm this.

The main difference between CBD and THC is the psychoactive sensation. THC is psychoactive and CBD is not. In other words, you don't get the "high" feeling from CBD. Instead, it can make you feel more balanced.

Customer satisfaction is our number one priority at Arktis Naturals. Each product is triple-batch and third-party lab tested, to ensure they are free of any harmful chemicals and the content of THC is 0%.

Our customers can safely use our products, knowing they are risk-free and fall within the boundaries of the law. Professional athletes and workers, who undergo regular testing for illegal substances can use our product with peace of mind, as only the purest ingredients are used to make our oils, capsules and topicals.

The human body contains a specialised system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is an important signalling pathway that regulates stress, inflammation, anxiety, and depression. While THC and CBD have the same molecular structure, slight differences in the arrangement of their atoms impart very different effects on the ECS.

THC is known for producing psychoactive effects in the body through the activation of two receptors in the central nervous system called CB1 and CB2. The activation of these receptors triggers physiological processes across multiple organ systems, most notably the release of neurotransmitters from the central nervous system that impart the psychoactive effects associated with feeling “high”.

CBD binds to CB1 and CB2 at a much slower rate than THC, which results in the activation of similar physiological processes without the psychoactive or “high” effects. These physiologic effects make CBD promising for clinical benefits.

Adaptogens are some plants and fungi that contain selected bioactive substances that affect our cells' ability to adapt to strain and stress. Adaptogens are particularly popular in alternative medicine and the name adaptogen is related to the English word "adapt" to adapt. When you are affected by stress, they help normalise body functions to restore balance in the body. They then also help with things caused by stress such as poor sleep, stomachaches and difficulty focusing.

Nootropics are naturally occurring compounds (derived from plants, herbs or mushrooms) that are used specifically to enhance cognitive performance by improving brain health and mental ability. They are most commonly used by people to improve memory, concentration, mood, learning ability and much more that has to do with the brain's capacity and health.

Medicinal mushrooms are used today to help improve a range of mental and physical health problems. Throughout East Asia, mushrooms have been part of folk medicine for centuries. Medicinal mushrooms, for example, are an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and have begun to find their way to the West. We have designed our MUSHROOMS CBD capsules to optimise brain health and cognitive function. We have combined our premium CBD with six powerful mushrooms (lion's mane, cordyceps, reishi, chaga, maitake and shiitake) which synergistically help to enhance the power of the mind by helping to optimise focus and memory.

Arktis Naturals products can be taken in conjunction with each other to maximise the benefits and, depending on the products, they can be taken at different times of the day. Information regarding when and how each product should be taken can be found on the product pages.

The CBD strength you choose is up to you. We recommend for CBD beginners to start by trying a lower strength CBD (10% or 15%). It's a good place to start and then you can easily increase your CBD strength if needed. Our weaker CBD oils have the same benefits as our stronger oils, but what separates them is their strength and potency. The higher the strength, the stronger and more concentrated it is, which may result in a higher entourage effect. Which CBD oil you choose depends on your goals for taking CBD, the effect you are looking for or what you are treating. With CBD, everything is individual. Feel free to experiment to find a CBD strength and dose that suits you.
