F.Good combinations – whether you carefully pair a wine with your dinner or your dinner with an appetizer – are the hallmarks of fine dining. Not only focusing on the deliciousness of a dish, but are you now thinking about how the flavors of one food or drink complement each other? Talk about the next level.

Likewise, combining CBD with other health promoting ingredients like nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) or turmeric (more on both later) is the newest way to enjoy the benefits of CBD.

Unlike their gastronomic cousin, CBD pairings don’t require you to roll up your sleeves and grab an apron. Instead, you can find these beneficial combinations in Vitaldiol food supplements. The plant-based and science-based dietary supplements each combine CBD with a different ingredient for maximum benefit. Keep scrolling to find the one that’s right for you.

Read on to find the CBD pairing for you based on your wellness goals.

If your wellness goal is sleep: CBD + melatonin

If your sleep game is down, you may have considered giving melatonin a try, and for good reason, says Iannacchino.

“Melatonin is a hormone that uses light and dark to tell your body when it’s time to wake up and sleep in the morning and night,” she says. “For those who don’t make enough melatonin or who have difficulty falling asleep, taking melatonin can help put the body into a state of rest and relaxation ready to fall asleep.”

The Vitaldiol Rest capsules combine CBD isolate with melatonin for a simple but effective sleep aid. In addition to melatonin’s sleep-inducing benefits, CBD promotes a sense of calm. The result can help you both asleep and asleep stay asleep. And isn’t that the dream?

If your wellness goal is to find relief: CBD + turmeric

If your body desperately needs a post-workout relaxation session (or two) in your fitness routine, one ingredient you may already be cooking with will become your new recovery BFF. “Turmeric is very anti-inflammatory,” says Iannacchino. “It helps reduce free radicals, which are chemically active molecules that damage the body’s cells.”

Together with the well-being-increasing CBD in the Vitaldiol Relief capsules, the duo can minimize inflammation and pain. To increase the bioavailability of curcumin (the main anti-inflammatory property of turmeric), try taking the supplement with a healthy fat.

When your wellness goal is all at once: CBD + olive oil

For those who can’t just choose a wellness goal and want to focus on improving their general wellbeing, meet Vitaldiol Essential Tincture, which combines high quality CBD with extra virgin olive oil.

“Extra virgin olive oil helps reduce general inflammation in the body because of its powerful antioxidant properties,” says Iannacchino. “It also helps maintain or raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and lower LDL cholesterol.”

In combination with broad spectrum CBD, the tincture is perfect for a daily wellness booster. Take one dropper full under your tongue every day for maximum results. Wellness goals, achieved.

If your wellness goal is to focus: CBD + NMN

While you might consider the previous combinations in the CBD sphere as commonplace, this combination is definitely unique: CBD and NMN in Vitaldiol’s Recover capsules, which are formulated to support daily focus.

But before we get to CBD and NMN, we have to talk about vitamin B3: “Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, acts as a coenzyme in the body, which is a compound that is necessary for an enzyme to function,” says registered nutritionist Michelle Iannacchino, MS, RDN. “For reference, there are more than 400 enzymes that are dependent on niacin for a wide variety of reactions.”

Niacin helps convert nutrients into energy, build and repair DNA, increase brain function, and keep skin healthy – all extremely important. What does this have to do with NMN? Well, NMN is a coenzyme of niacin: so NMN helps niacin, which helps the hundreds of other enzymes.

To set this beneficial chain reaction in motion, Vitaldiol Recover Capsules combine CBD with NMN to aid focus (thanks to niacin’s increased brain function), along with many other potential benefits, such as: increased metabolism and improved muscle and skeletal health.

Another unique potential benefit of NMN? A 2017 study by scientists at Harvard Medical School showed that NMN ameliorated age-related DNA damage in mice, and another study showed that NMN actually reversed muscle aging in mice. While more research is needed to determine whether NMN will have the same effect on humans, there is no doubt that it has great wellness potential.
