What We Tested This Week: Sunday Scaries CBD Gummies
Who This Is Perfect for: Anyone who struggles with occasional anxiety
By this point, you've probably tried CBD in some capacity, or at least seen this wellness and self-care trend popping up on restaurant and cocktail menus, in smoothie bars, luxe high-end edibles, or even in certain beauty products.
But what if we told you that there was one CBD product out there specifically meant to cure the dreaded Sunday Scaries? Well, read on, my anxious friends. We're about to blow your mind and make your Sunday-evening run much smoother.
In case you're not familiar with the dreaded Sunday Scaries, let us enlighten you. When Monday and all of its responsibilities are looming just a day away, it can be easy to spend the entire day in a state of vague dread. This feeling is known as the Sunday Scaries (or the Sunday Blues), and according to a survey from Monster, up to 76% of Americans suffer from these feelings of workweek-induced anxiety. A lot of people throw the term around loosely when lamenting their weekend hangover or general angst surrounding adult tasks like grocery shopping, but let's be clear: Anxiety is a serious mental illness that affects more people than you might think. And CBD is a natural wellness option that could help.
Although some sufferers try other rituals, natural remedies, and relaxation techniques to help ward off this feeling of imminent dread, sometimes you just need a little something to help take the edge off. Enter: Sunday Scaries CBD Gummies.
Let's start with the basics: What is CBD? Short for cannabidiol, CBD is a cannabis compound that has significant health and wellness benefits without any of the psychoactive or euphoric properties often associated with marijuana.
I'm no newbie when it comes to the healing powers of CBD. I've tried oils, lotions, vape pens, sublingual strips, edibles, seltzers, and even CBD teas. Although I've had varied experiences with all of these formats, I've generally found that if I can microdose (control my own dosage in milligrams) at around 30 milligrams or so in any format, I'll feel calmer, less anxious, and less stressed-out.
So, when my Sunday Scaries CBD Gummies arrived (in its super fun and sleek packaging), I did what I always do when testing a new product: Examined the ingredient list. I saw that the main ingredients were 100% industrial hemp (CBD) oil, vitamin B-12 (a vitamin essential to bodily energy production), and vitamin D-3 (a vitamin often called "the sunshine vitamin"). The recommended dosage is two to three gummies daily as needed, with each gummy bear containing 10 milligrams of CBD.
With its simple, clean, and not-scary ingredient list, I felt really good about trying out these bad boys. I popped two to three gummies before a flight (I get ridiculously anxious on airplanes), on a few Sunday evenings (to ward off the Sunday Scaries, duh), and on a few afternoons at work that got a bit stressful during tight deadlines, and I must admit — these gummies helped curb my anxiety.
The flavor is slightly fruity, sweet, and tastes just like regular gummy bears — no weird hemp smell or taste. Translation: No one will know that your gummy bears are special!
We should also mention: Sunday Scaries Vegan AF Gummies also now exist. With the same ingredients as the original Sunday Scaries but minus gelatin, these vegan gumdrops work just as effectively as the original gummy bears and have a pretty similar fruity flavor.
At $29 per bottle (each bottle contains 20 gummies), you really have nothing to lose.
I'm not saying Sunday Scaries CBD Gummies are a cure-all for those who suffer from anxiety, but these gummies have certainly helped me calm down and cope with my anxiety. If you're feeling anxious, give these CBD Gummies a shot.
Note: Sunday Scaries is not meant to replace any anxiety medication. We encourage anyone with medical-related questions to discuss CBD with a medical professional.
