How can we feel more balanced and grounded? How can we be our best selves more of the time?<\/p>\n
These are the questions CEO Doug Siegel wanted to answer when he founded\u00a0Zolt, a CBD wellness company bringing harmony to consumers through \u201cplant-powered super drinks.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having worked in the beverage industry for 17 years, Siegel understood the importance of flavor and aroma. He wanted to combine this knowledge with emerging food technologies to give people a product that was properly dosed, tasted good, and actually worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, he teamed up with experts in emulsification, atomization, agglomeration, and other fields relating to hemp\u2019s bioavailability. And after an immense amount of research and development, they arrived at a solution for a tasty, convenient and effective ingestible hemp format: Zolt<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cZolt is designed to help people stay calm, focused, engaged, and positive,\u201d Siegel told Cannabis Now. \u201cWith all that is going on in today\u2019s world, a little goodness and help for our body is important.\u201d<\/p>\n Zolt\u2019s hemp drink mixes are commonly referred to as \u201cmixie sticks.\u201d Simply mix the packet\u2019s contents with water, or your favorite tea or smoothie (each blend includes suggestions for the best combo!) The mixie sticks are formulated with\u00a0organic adaptogens and antioxidants<\/a>\u00a0for use throughout the day, and a blend of 20mg of water-soluble CBD isolate or full-spectrum hemp is combined with different flavors to either invigorate, energize, or relax you.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Zolt product line has something for every moment \u2013 there\u2019s\u00a0Rise<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Rise+<\/a>, designed to prepare you for your day,\u00a0\u00a0Dial-Up+<\/a>\u00a0for an afternoon boost, and the\u00a0Dreamy<\/a>\u00a0Honey Citrus Tea bedtime formulation, designed to soothe your mind and repair your body as you sink into sleep. Zolt\u2019s caffeinated\u00a0Boost+<\/a>\u00a0mix helps promote immunity,\u00a0while\u00a0Balance<\/a>\u00a0is perfect for maintaining harmony every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n Each mixie stick is packed with delicious flavor and contains adaptogens and antioxidants sourced from premium ingredients to supercharge each beverage\u2019s wellness potential.<\/p>\n Siegel\u2019s motivation to create\u00a0Zolt\u00a0stemmed from his own personal wellness journey. After trying a variety of CBD edibles and tinctures, he realized he was more relaxed, focused and capable of doing so much more. The small stuff didn\u2019t interfere with his every day anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was amazing to realize the effects of CBD and be more balanced throughout the day,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Siegel began immersing himself\u00a0in the\u00a0world of hemp. He researched and\u00a0evaluated\u00a0the effectiveness\u00a0of different hemp formats, and how combining hemp with other\u00a0super-plants\u00a0can be monumental in helping people bring balance and wellness into their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n He knew the demand to integrate CBD into wellness regimens was growing\u00a0but acknowledged that its most common formats were full of friction, whether smoking, vaping or using a tincture.\u00a0<\/p>\n There simply had to be a better way.<\/p>\n \u201cWe realized that we needed to design a systematized approach to building plant-powered performance products that people can easily incorporate hemp into their daily routine,\u201d Siegel explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n Previous experience in the beverages space inspired Siegel to develop a line of high-quality and delicious ready-to-mix concoctions that were simple to use but incredibly beneficial. Intensive research and development led him and his team to water-soluble CBD, opting for both full-spectrum and isolate depending on the mixie blend.<\/p>\n \u201cUltimately, we created a totally new, far smarter, wildly effective portfolio of plant-powered super-drinks derived from and inspired by hemp.\u201d<\/p>\n For Siegel and the rest of the team, helping people live healthier lives isn\u2019t the only goal. Our planet\u2019s well-being is also at the forefront.<\/p>\n This is evident in the company\u2019s decision to use a water-soluble powder in their products. Removing water weight cuts down on the need for plastic containers and reduces freight, lowering the company\u2019s carbon footprint. Consumers are encouraged to pour their Zolt mixes into reusable water bottles to curb further waste. According to Siegel, the company is also exploring more environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging options for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition, Zolt donates one percent of proceeds annually to the\u00a0National Young Farmers Coalition.<\/a>\u00a0This nonprofit and advocacy group is focused on helping the next generation of agriculture professionals adopt sustainable and equitable practices that will ensure their own success, as well as the environment as a whole.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s everyone\u2019s job to participate in social responsibility,\u201d said an impassioned Siegel. \u201cBusinesses who recognize this can transcend these messages to their employees and customers, who themselves are consumers, neighbors, and friends \u2013 it starts the conversation and betters our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite its already robust catalog, Zolt is adding even more options to their product line, in an effort to benefit as many lives as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n A terpene-derived mix that\u2019s hemp-free is on deck. This line will focus on the potential powers of the molecules responsible for hemp\u2019s unique aroma, flavor and entourage effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n One of these\u00a0terpene-derived<\/a>\u00a0products is Peak, in Clementine flavor, which features sativa-dominant terps meant to invigorate and encourage focus. Zolt\u2019s hybrid terpene blend, called \u201cEven,\u201d features vegan collagen, which is a lime mint flavor, and is designed to promote balance and hydration. Last but not least in this line, is the indica-inspired Dreamy Ginger Honey Tea (also containing vegan collagen and melatonin), which will help send consumers into a peaceful slumber. All three varieties also include prebiotics to support gut health for a holistic wellness approach.<\/p>\n While new product innovations are exciting for the folks at\u00a0Zolt, it all goes back to their passion\u00a0in making the world a better place \u2014 one mixie stick at a time.<\/p>\n \u201cWe strive to do what\u2019s right, no matter what. We live up to a standard, always.\u201d Siegel said. \u201cOur goal is to help people understand the benefits of hemp and other plants so they can live their day to the fullest, every single day.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The post Smarter Delivery with Zolt\u2019s Plant-Powered CBD Drink Mixes<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
