An adaptogen is a type of plant extract that is often used in herbal medicine due to its potential to help the body effectively handle stress. These natural substances are thought to work by normalizing the body's functions under stress and bringing them back to homeostasis, or balance, enhancing the body's ability to resist and recover from anxiety, fatigue, and physical stressors. Fuel & Elevate includes the following adaptogens:

• Ashwagandha
• Rhodiola
• Bacopa Monnieri

Nootropics, often referred to as 'smart drugs' or 'cognitive enhancers,' are substances that can boost brain performance. They are typically used to improve aspects of cognition, such as memory, concentration, mood, or motivation.

It's important to note, however, that the safety and efficacy of these substances can vary widely, and more research is needed to fully understand their potential benefits and risks. Fuel & Elevate includes the following Nootropics:

Absolutely! Fuel & Elevate products are 100% federally legal. All our offerings are derived from hemp and contain less than the federally mandated limit of 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (popularly known as the Farm Bill) legally cleared the usage of hemp in products.

We advise anyone under the age of 21 not to consume our products. While there are no federal age restrictions on buying or using hemp-derived products, local jurisdictions might enforce their own rules, so it's best to check with your local authorities.

We do not recommend the consumption of our products by anyone under the age of 18.

The federal government does not provide an age restriction or guidance on purchasing or consuming hemp-derived products that meet federal requirements, however, your state or local jurisdiction might. If you have any questions, we recommend you consult with your local authorities.

Hemp beverages are seltzers, sodas, mocktails, coffees, teas, and other drinks that contain an infusion of hemp-derived cannabinoids, terpenes, or fibers. Common cannabinoids include CBD and THC, but other "minor cannabinoids" can also be incorporated.

Cannabis and hemp are essentially the same plant, the difference being how much delta-9 tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) it contains. If 0.3% or less of the weight of the plant is THC, then it's hemp. If the weight of the THC is more than 0.3% of the plant, then it’s cannabis. Beyond that, the plants are very similar: Same look, same smell, same cannabinoids, same terpenes.

However…

From a regulatory perspective, cannabis and hemp are very different. Cannabis (with its capacity for higher levels of THC) and cannabis products can only be sold in licensed dispensaries in states that have legalized it, whereas hemp (with its lower levels of THC) and hemp products are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.

The 2018 Farm Bill explicitly legalized hemp. According to the law:

”The term `hemp' means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant,including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” (Sec. 297a)

Currently, regulation of hemp-derived THC is happening at the state level. Retailers and distributors are encouraged
to contact the Hemp Beverage Alliance to understand the regulatory guidelines in their state.

You can mix it with other beverages or supplements but be mindful of the total caffeine intake if combining with caffeinated products. DO NOT MIX WITH ALCOHOL.

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Follow any specific storage instructions on the packaging.

The recommended intake may vary based on individual preferences and tolerance. Start with a single serving and adjust as needed.

Definitely! Every single Fuel & Elevate production batch goes through multiple rounds of analytical testing, both in-house and by independent third-party laboratories, to ensure the highest standards of safety.

The potency levels refer to the amount of THC per serving and the total THC content in the package. We recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it until you find what works best for you.

Yes. Some of them. Sometimes.

Beverages that contain only CBD will not cause intoxication. Neither will terpene-infused beverages. But hemp-derived THC-infused beverages have the potential to get you high. So here's where we need to dive in a little more.

Most hemp-derived THC beverages incorporate between two and ten milligrams of THC. For perspective, most states that have legalized cannabis consider ten milligrams to be one serving. In this respect, most hemp-derived THC beverages are considered "micro-dosed" or sessionable.”

That said, every person is different, every experience is different, and every product is different, which is why the
Hemp Beverage Alliance strongly urges the following:

• Start low and go slow when consuming a hemp-derived THC beverage.
• Never drink a hemp-derived THC beverage if you are planning on driving a car or operating heavy machinery.
• Stay away from hemp beverages if you are pregnant or nursing.
• Consult a physician if you are taking any medications prior to consuming THC beverages.
• Approach hemp beverages just like you'd approach alcohol, especially if you are a first-time consumer. Be smart and don't overdo it. Err on the side of caution.
