There are many ways to take CBD, the most common are topicals and orally. With these categories there are different delivery methods like capsules, tinctures, creams and more.

If you've never taken CBD before ingesting it is an easy place to start. You're probably familiar with and maybe already using capsules and pills so taking CBD this way won't feel too different. Plus monitoring dosage is easy with capsules since they come in pre-measured sizes.

Dosage is important and having a consistent concentration makes it easy to find out what works for you.​

GEL CAPSULES  

Gel capsules can be taken once a day to promote health, calm, focus, and prevent pain. Capsules typically can take 45 minutes or longer to work itself into your system, and then last several hours!​

TINCTURES  

This oil is used to help relieve anxiety and to assist with pain. Generally you consume a tincture by placing it under your tongue and holding it there for up to a minute as it dissolves. Some people even use it in their food, or add a few drops to their favorite smoothie recipe. It's easy to adjust the dose adding and subtracting a few drops, and it typically works much faster than capsules or gummies.​

GUMMIES  

These are a fun more flavorful way to ingest CBD. Gummies can also be taken once a day as a pain and stress reliever. Gummies typically can take 45 minutes or longer to work itself into your system.​

CBN (NIGHT TIME) CAPSULES 

Our CBN gel capsule also contains CBD. CBN is a powerful natural sleep aid or sedative that can help regulate the immune system and works to relieve pain and inflammation amongst other benefits, it's combined with CBD which is natural pain aid and promotes calm and focus. These two work great together to promote a better sleep pattern.​

CBG (DAY TIME) CAPSULES 

Our CBG/CBD capsules is fundamental in promoting energy, providing support for focus and clarity, boosting a healthy digestive system, and much more. CBG works to fight inflammation, pain, nausea and works to slow the proliferation of cancer cells.  

TOPICAL APPLICATION

If you're mostly looking to try CBD for muscle aches and pains, our topicals can be a great option for you. The value of topical applications is that they work quickly and target the specific area you apply to.​

SALVE  

This highly effective joint salve is made for use all over. Formulated with plant oils that absorb CBD into the skin for long lasting relief. Use as needed on all body parts, rub into joints in the hands and feet, as well as the neck and temples. This salve works great alone and works powerful with our Gel Relief.

GEL RELIEF 

Immediate cooling followed by a warming sensation makes this Gel Relief the best for on the spot relief. Use as needed all over the body. Combine with salve for lasting relief. Keep out of eyes.

In recent years, CBD (cannabidiol) products have surged in popularity as a natural remedy for various health concerns. Extracted from the cannabis plant, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it does not cause the “high” associated with THC. Instead, CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps regulate functions like sleep, mood, pain, and immune response. Here’s a detailed look at the health benefits of CBD products.

1. Pain Relief

CBD is widely recognized for its analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. Research suggests that it may help reduce chronic pain by influencing endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters. People with conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and chronic back pain have reported improvements after using CBD topicals or oils.

Key Points:

• Reduces inflammation that causes pain

• Supports joint and muscle health

• May decrease reliance on prescription painkillers

2. Anxiety and Stress Reduction

One of the most common reasons people try CBD is for anxiety management. Studies show that CBD may help reduce symptoms of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can promote a sense of calm without the sedative effects of some prescription medications.

Key Points:

• Supports relaxation and emotional balance

• Reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels

• Can improve sleep quality affected by stress

3. Improved Sleep Quality

CBD may help people who struggle with insomnia or irregular sleep patterns. By addressing underlying issues such as anxiety or chronic pain, CBD can support more restful sleep. Additionally, some studies suggest that CBD may influence sleep cycles and promote longer periods of deep sleep.

Key Points:

• Helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle

• Reduces nighttime disruptions caused by pain or stress

• Can improve overall sleep quality

4. Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Benefits

Topical CBD products like creams, balms, and serums are popular for their anti-inflammatory effects. They may help manage skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to reduce inflammation and sebum production, contributing to healthier skin.

Key Points:

• Reduces redness and irritation

• Supports skin healing and repair

• Can be used alongside other skincare treatments

5. Neuroprotective Properties

Emerging research suggests CBD may have neuroprotective benefits. It is being studied for potential use in conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. In fact, the FDA has approved a CBD-based medication, Epidiolex, for treating certain types of epilepsy in children.

Key Points:

• Supports brain health and cognitive function

• May reduce seizure frequency in epilepsy patients

• Potential benefits for neurodegenerative conditions

6. Heart Health

Some studies indicate that CBD may have positive effects on heart health. It may help lower high blood pressure and reduce oxidative stress, which can contribute to cardiovascular disease. Its anti-inflammatory properties also support overall heart wellness.

Key Points:

• Can reduce stress-related blood pressure spikes

• Supports healthy circulation

• May reduce inflammation that affects the heart

7. General Wellness

Beyond specific conditions, CBD is often used as a supplement for general wellness. People use it to support mental clarity, energy balance, and overall resilience. As research continues, CBD’s role in promoting homeostasis (balance) in the body is becoming more recognized.

Key Points:

• Promotes overall physical and mental balance

• Supports immune function

• Can complement a healthy lifestyle

How to Use CBD Products

CBD is available in various forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, and even beverages. The best product depends on your needs:

• Oils and tinctures: Fast absorption under the tongue

• Edibles and capsules: Long-lasting effects

• Topicals: Targeted relief for muscles and skin

• Vapes: Quick onset but shorter duration

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any CBD regimen, especially if you are taking medications or have underlying health conditions.

CBD products offer a wide range of potential health benefits, from pain relief and anxiety reduction to improved sleep and skin health. While more research is needed to fully understand its long-term effects, many people are finding relief and support through natural CBD-based therapies. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, wellness support, or targeted pain management, CBD products may be a valuable addition to your health routine.

Animoca Brands raises US$88,888,888 based on valuation of US$1 billion 

​NFT-centric Animoca Brands is tech industry’s newest unicorn​

Animoca Brands, the company that is delivering digital property rights to gamers via NFTs, today announced that it has completed a capital raise of US$88,888,888 (approximately A$113,500,000) at a price per share of A$1.10 based on a valuation of US$1 billion (approximately A$1.28 billion). 

Investors in the round included Kingsway Capital, RIT Capital Partners (formerly Rothschild Investment Trust), HashKey Fintech Investment Fund, AppWorks Fund, LCV Fund, Huobi, Octava, Ellerston Capital, Perennial, Axia Infinity Ventures, SNZ, Liberty City Ventures, Metapurse, and other prominent investors. 

The funding is a strategic milestone that positions Animoca Brands for further aggressive growth as it continues to bring digital property rights to video gamers through the use of blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), enabling powerful benefits such as play-to-earn capabilities and digital asset interoperability.  

The new capital will also be utilized to fund further acquisitions, develop new products, continue to make strategic investments, and secure additional licenses for popular intellectual properties to cement Animoca Brands’ leadership and that of its various subsidiaries in the NFT and gaming spaces. 

Following the success of its blockchain game titles including F1® Delta Time, The Sandbox, and MotoGP™ Ignition, as well as the launches of their associated tokens, including REVV and SAND, Animoca Brands has emerged as a leading force in the field of blockchain, NFTs, and games, having already made highly successful investments in Dapper Labs, Opensea, Bitski, Axie Infinity, and many others. 

With the recent launch of the GAMEE, TOWER, and LMT tokens, Animoca Brands is trailblazing the use of blockchain-based in-game rewards, creating innovative new ways to monetize video games - a market estimated to be worth US$179.7 billion in 2020 (source: IDC, 2020).  

To commemorate the achievement of its unicorn status, Animoca Brands is issuing an NFT to investors, key partners, and supporters who helped make this moment possible. 

Management commentary

This strategic capital raise firmly establishes Animoca Brands as one of the leading and most valuable companies in the NFT space, not just in Asia but globally.” 

Manuel Stotz, the founder and CEO of Kingsway, said: “Having spent nearly a decade investing in Emerging and Frontier Markets, we have first-hand experience of the power of disruptive technologies. The emergence of digital property rights, whether via Bitcoin or NFTs, is perhaps the greatest opportunity for financial inclusion for the bottom ~3 billion Frontier & Emerging Market consumers, as well as an opportunity for a more decentralised and thus more equitable global Internet. We are proud to support Yat and his talented team at Animoca Brands in making this vision a reality and are honoured to co-invest alongside such a world-class roster of global investors.” 

Ashok Jacob, Ellerston Capital’s executive chairman and portfolio manager, said: “Yat can explain his vision succinctly and has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to execute. Through a combination of true ownership of digital assets and rewarding users for engaging in activity that increases the value of a network, web 3.0 promotes a much more equitable economic model and incentive structure for the Internet. Animoca Brands is at the forefront of ushering in this evolution that will lead to an explosion of the digital economy and more equitable flows of money and power on the net.” 

Deng Chao, the CEO of HashKey Group, commented: “We always maintained that gaming would be one of the first massive adopters of blockchain, and Animoca Brands is definitely the top game changer in this field. As a blockchain-focused gaming company, it not only has a deep understanding of blockchain games and NFTs, but also strong development abilities in traditional games. With its many achievements and brands, Animoca Brands is redefining property rights for gamers and paving the way toward a new era for gaming. We are delighted to be an investor in Animoca Brands, and together we look forward to adding value to the blockchain gaming sector.”
