Marten Carlson: Hey guys, Marten here from
Mattress Clarity. Today, I'm reviewing the Populum Full-Spectrum
Hemp Oil. You've probably seen online a lot of videos,
a lot of articles about CBD oil. I want to talk a little bit about the science
behind that. I want to talk about the Populum here, my
experience with it, the benefits I felt, and some other things to consider. Let's get started. [music] Marten: I want to talk about the science behind
CBD. First I want to say, if you want to see a
list of my top picks for CBD oil, Google Mattress Clarity best CBD oil. What exactly is CBD? It stands for Cannabidiol.
It is a phytocannabinoid, a compound found
in Cannabis sativa. One of the other phytocannabinoids which we're
going to find in Cannabis sativa is THC. While THC is going to have some stony properties,
it's going to give you that more of that high feeling, you're not going to get that feeling
with CBD taken from hemp plant. While THC is illegal in many states, CBD oil
taken from hemp plants is legal in all 50 states. Definitely keep that in mind. In terms of what exactly CBD can help you
with, while it's not going to give you that stony feeling, it can help with anxiety, nausea,
and inflammation. Last but not least, it can help with sleep. As a person who deals with anxiety and that
has sleep issues, that's why I want to try out CBD oil.
I want to know why you're interested in CBD
oil? Is it to help with your sleep, help with your
anxiety, or for some other reason? Leave your answer in the comments section
below. I want to see what everyone has to say. Now let's look at the Populum. Before I talk about the Populum, I do want
to say I am not a doctor. If you're considering adding CBD to your medical
regimen, or your sleep regimen, do talk to a medical professional. With the Populum here, you're going to have
three options — 250 milligrams, 500 milligrams, and 1,000 milligrams. For the potency I went with a 500-milligram,
their most popular potency. What exactly is in here? First off, you're going to have your CBD oil. This is a full-spectrum hemp oil. While some are going to be CBD isolates, some
of those competitors are going to get only CBD oil, this is full spectrum. It's also going to have some other phytocannabinoids
that naturally occur in hemp plants. In here as well, you're going to have some
phytocannabinoids such as CBG, which is also going to help with nausea and have anti-inflammatory
properties.
In addition to that, you're going to have
some terpenes. Terpenes are essential oils found in the hemp
plant, and those are going to have properties. They're going to help with the flavoring,
also give you some more sense of well-being. In here, you're also going to have hemp seed
oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, and cold-pressed orange oil. There's a lot in this bottle. These extra elements are going to help with
flavoring, also going to have some amino acids, help with your metabolism and your immune
system.
There's a lot in here. If you want to know exactly what's in this
model, don't worry. Every bottle is going to come with your lab
results. You're going to know exactly what is in this
batch of CBD oil. It's also a third-party tested. While it's not FDA approved, you know exactly
it's in this bottle. It's tested for quality and effectiveness. How do you use the Populum? It's very, very simple. You first, unscrew the top here, and it's
going to be a dropper. In terms of how much you want to fill it with,
it does depend on how long you've used CBD oil for. If you're just getting started, Populum recommends
using 8 milligrams to 8.5 milligrams. This is the 500-milligram potency so it's
going to be about a half a dropper. Once I have that, I put it under my tongue
and then squirt the liquid under my tongue. I'll leave it in my mouth for 30 seconds. They also recommend you can work the liquid
on your cheeks with your tongue.
After the 30 seconds, take two deep breaths. You can drink down the liquid and you're good
to go. Let's talk about my experience with the Populum. I'm going to break that down into three sections
— falling asleep, staying asleep, and then the morning after. In terms of falling asleep, this worked very,
very well for me. I took it for a few weeks.
Every night before bed when I'm watching TV,
I would take this about 30 minutes before bed, and it definitely calmed me down. My anxiety was less and I deal with anxiety. Before bed sometimes it was hard for me to
fall asleep. With the Populum, I definitely fell asleep
much more quickly. In terms of staying asleep, I slept through
the night with no problem. However, that's not usually a big issue for
me, staying asleep, so take that into account. But it did not negatively affect my sleep. The morning after, that's where I had some
issues with the Populum. Waking up, I did feel a little bit groggy,
a little bit washy as I'm started out my day at work, out of it a little bit, having trouble
focusing. I will note this is my first time using CBD
oil. I lowered my dose over the next couple days. It did seem to work itself out. But keep that in mind, if you're just starting
to use the CBD for yourself.
Let's talk about some of the pros and some
of the benefits I experienced using the Populum. First off, it made it easier to fall asleep. If you're looking for a CBD oil to help you
fall asleep more quickly, definitely ease you down into a nice state of relaxation before
you sleep, take a look at the Populum. Also, if you want something to help you stay
asleep all night, the Populum worked for me in that respect. If you want to sleep throughout the night,
the Populum could also work for you. I'm also a big fan the fact the Populum is
full spectrum. You're not just getting a CBD isolate, you're
also getting other phytocannabinoids. You get the full effect of the hemp plant
with this full-spectrum hemp oil. Lastly, speaking about the third-party testing,
I like the fact they bring in outside scientists to come in and test this product to make sure
you get the best quality, the best effectiveness with the CBD oil. Let's talk about the cons.
Some of the things you might want to consider
if you're looking at the Populum. First off, I experience some morning grogginess
the next day. If you want someone's going to help you wake
up clear-eyed and refreshed, the Populum might not be the best match for you. Keep this in mind. If you're looking for something with a lot
of potency options there are only three with the Populum — the 250, the 500, and the 1,000-milligram. Some other companies are going to have five
or six options, so more options for you in terms of potency. Also, this CBD oil is not FDA approved.
That's not necessarily a con for the Populum
because most CBD oils are not FDA approved. But keep this in mind if you're going to add
this to your medical regimen. Lastly, in terms of price, right now it's
$99 for a bottle for the 500 milligrams. That is very affordable for a CBD oil, but
if you're comparing this to other sleep supplements, it might be on the pricier side. In the end, I enjoyed my experience with the
Populum. It helped me fall asleep more quickly, stay
asleep, very much a nice experience overall.
I will just note, if you're looking for something
to have you waking up feeling more refreshed, you might want to look elsewhere. That's about it. If you're just getting started looking for
