The origins of golden milk can be traced back to ancient India, where it was (and still is) used in ayurvedic medicine. Golden Milk is a hot or cold beverage that’s made by combining either turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root with the milk of your choosing (cow, almond, coconut, cashew, etc.). Often, several more flavor-boosting ingredients are added to the recipe such as black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and honey. Black pepper, specifically, is said to boost the body’s ability to absorb curcumin, the main bioactive compound within turmeric. [Read more…]

This time of year, perhaps the best present you can give yourself is a great night’s sleep—the kind where you bound of our bed, refreshed and ready to conquer what the day has in store.

The 2014 Federal Farm Bill legalized the “cultivation of hemp for the purposes of research conducted under an agricultural pilot program designed to study the growth, cultivation, or marketing of industrial hemp”. This bill further defined industrial hemp as Cannabis sativa with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3%.     [Read more…]

Hemp Basics

Our customers often ask us about the difference between Quicksilver Scientific “Broad Spectrum” and “Full Spectrum” products. To understand this, let’s begin with the hemp plant. Hemp comes from the plant strain Cannabis sativa, as does marijuana. Another strain that shows up more often as marijuana is Cannabis indica. Regardless of the strain, or whether it is hemp or marijuana, cannabis contains hundreds of plant compounds.
