Cannabinoids might look like alphabet soup at first, but each compound plays a different role. Before you grab a gummy, let’s break down the “big three” cannabinoids: THCV, THC, and CBD. This way, you know exactly what’s giving you the lift, what’s keeping you steady, and what’s helping you stay away from the snack pantry.
THCV: The Sparkling Water Of Cannabinoids
Although it’s still derived from the cannabis plant, tetrahydrocannabivarin (aka THCV) is celebrated for its energizing vibe. While it’s often nicknamed “diet weed” because preclinical research suggests it may help regulate appetite and blood sugar, human studies are still limited. What we do know is that THCV is more uplifting than the rest of its siblings, bringing grounded focus without the grogginess.
Science backs up this distinction. Even though THCV and THC are nearly identical acronyms, they’re made differently in the plant and have distinct interactions with your body. THC activates the receptors in your brain that bring on feelings of cloudiness. Meanwhile, THCV tends to do the opposite at low amounts, keeping you in the zone without the buzz. In fact, it may even take the edge off THC. At stronger doses, THCV’s role can become more complex, but most products (like ours) stick to small, microdosed amounts made for centered energy, not confusion.
That’s why you’ll find THCV as the star ingredient in our Groove Gummies, where it pairs with full-spectrum CBD and a slight touch of THC to help sharpen focus. It’s also in our Fit Gummies, where its appetite-curbing properties can help you become your most Fit self.
THC: The Classic Crowd-Pleaser
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the cannabinoid most people think of first, known for its signature psychoactive effects. In small amounts, it might spark joy, boost creativity, and add a little extra laughter to your day. But in larger doses, it could be the culprit behind snack marathons or hours lost to the couch.
Here’s the distinction: THC is a partial agonist at CB1 receptors, which is what brings on feelings of intoxication. In our formulas, you’ll only get a touch of THC (1mg in our Groove Gummies and 0.5mg in our Fit Gummies) to bring harmony into the mix. This minimal dose is just enough to gently elevate your mood and ease discomfort without tipping into overwhelming territory. Even better, it plays well with CBD and THCV, rounding out the blend so you get clarity and focus with a subtle lift that’s suitable for everyday use.
CBD: The Steady Hand
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the grounding force of the cannabinoid crew. It helps you find your center when life feels chaotic. Unlike THC, it won’t flip the “intoxication switch,” which is why it’s earned its reputation as the dependable sidekick in the plant world.
Early research suggests CBD can influence several systems in the body, with potential roles in easing stress responses and helping to maintain balance. That’s why it serves as the foundation of our gummy formulas. CBD sets the stage so THCV can bring the focus, and THC can add a noticeable lift. In our Fit and Groove Gummies, this trio of compounds works in equilibrium to anchor your body and mind so that you can feel unshakable through everyday ups and downs.
Benefits Breakdown: From Energy Spikes To Appetite Control
Let’s cut these gummies open and see what they’re really serving up. With THCV, CBD, THC, and a smart lineup of nootropics and adaptogens, our Groove and Fit Gummies are designed to help you stay sharp and satisfied without the mid-afternoon crash. Here’s how they shine in everyday life:
Morning Energy, Minus The Jitters
Coffee’s great, until it sends your pulse racing and hands shaking. Groove Gummies offer a smoother kind of lift, thanks to THCV paired with green tea and L-theanine. Green tea brings a modest dose of caffeine for a gentle nudge awake, while L-theanine steps in to stabilize the ride. This natural amino acid is known for its unique ability to promote a sense of calm without making you feel drowsy. Together, they create energy that feels serene, not erratic. Within 20–30 minutes, you’ll feel more awake and focused without the caffeine chaos; perfect for early meetings or just keeping your eyelids a respectable distance above your pupils.
Focus That Sticks
Instead of giving your attention span a sugar rush, Groove Gummies help it settle in for the long haul. THCV works in tandem with two well-loved adaptogenic mushrooms (Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps) for clarity that feels sustainable. Lion’s Mane has been studied for its potential to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a protein linked to neuron growth and repair, which is why it’s often associated with supporting memory and mental clarity. Cordyceps, on the other hand, is known for its role in improving oxygen uptake and cellular energy production, which may help with stamina and focus when your body is in marathon mode. Together, they’re a natural way to back up your concentration without the spikes and crashes.
Hunger, Handled
If you’ve ever found yourself demolishing a sleeve of cookies by 2 p.m., Fit Gummies are here to play defense. They’re powered by THCV, which is often studied for its potential to help curb cravings. It’s paired with bitter melon, a traditional plant extract that research suggests may help support healthy blood sugar and metabolism. Plus, gymnema assists in reducing sugar cravings and managing blood sugar levels.
Together, this trio helps create the conditions where you feel comfortably satisfied for longer, making it easier to stay on track with your weight loss goals. Think of it as a quiet reset button for your appetite, so you can move through the day feeling clear and still in charge of your choices.
When To Reach For THCV Gummies: Workouts, Workdays, And Wind-Downs
THCV gummies aren’t made to collect dust in a cabinet. They’re crafted to fit into the rhythm of real life, whether you’re lacing up for a workout, digging into your inbox, or finally kicking back at the end of the day. No matter the need, a thoughtfully crafted THCV gummy can meet you exactly where you are.
- Before A Sweat Session: Sneakers on, motivation… questionable. A THCV gummy can act like a gentle activation switch, helping you give it your all during an intense weight-lifting session or spin class. Think of it as the motivating pep talk that gets you moving and leaves you feeling good enough to enjoy the cooldown.
- During Work: Rather than reaching for another iced latte, a Groove Gummy can offer a smooth midday power-up to unlock your flow state. The microdose of THCV, paired with nootropics, helps support clarity and productivity without the wired feeling that caffeine can bring. Translation: You stay on task, even when your Teams notifications are blowing up.
- Easing Out Of Hustle Mode: Evenings should feel restorative, and THCV gummies can help you recharge. The uplifting yet relaxed vibe of our Groove Gummies lets you settle down while still being present. Whether you’re streaming your favorite show, meditating, or catching up with a friend, you stay tuned in instead of tapped out. And yes, even those late-night snack raids get a little easier to avoid.
To get the most from your gummies, think about when you need that extra boost. Mornings or early afternoons often pair best with THCV’s focus-forward energy, while evenings call for a softer reset. Let your body lead the way and adjust the timing as needed to fit your individual energy cycles.
Consistency is just as important. Regular intake can help maintain the levels of THCV in your body, potentially leading to better results over time. Just remember the golden rule: Start low and slow to see how your body responds before eating another gummy.
