NOVA featured on Cannabis Column ‘Cannabitch’
Jackie Bryant features NOVA in the first edition of her rebirthed cannabis column Cannabitch.
“Here’s where I’ll make recommendations on products to try. Incredibly, I’ve written almost 2,000 words so far without even uttering those infamous three letters: CBD. We’ll dig into this subject more over time, but as many of you probably know by now, there’s good, properly dosed and sourced CBD and there’s bad CBD. Luna Volta, a San Diego-based wellness company, is making good CBD oil. Bonus? It can be shipped to anywhere in the United States.
For those looking to combat anxiety—I wonder why I’m picking that specific ailment at such a time, can’t imagine—Luna Volta’s NOVA is the move. “It’s intended to be taken sublingually to help combat stress enzymes in the body and bring you back to homeostasis,” says founder and CEO Kayla Clements.
“Your body actually produces its own endocannabinoids (2AG and Anandamide (the 'bliss' molecule)) to combat stress enzymes (like FAAH. When you are deficient, you can supplement by taking phytocannabinoids (cannabinoids found in plants), like CBD,” she explains.
“We spent a year and a half developing NOVA to ensure its high quality through rigorous testing and developing sustainable packaging solutions. It is grown organically in the United States in support of regenerative agriculture to combat climate change by sequestering carbon and restoring our soils, is full-spectrum (to encourage the "entourage effect" of multiple cannabinoids working synergistically), and comes packaged in plantable packaging embedded with wildflower seeds beneficial to our declining bee population.”
I’ve been using it on and off in the last year. It’s an oil I trust and one that measurably helps me manage anxiety. At the moment, I’m not paid to make any of these endorsements. I’ll be sure to let you all know when/if that changes.”
