Why CBD Coffee Stops Caffeine Jitters: The Science of Calm Energy

For millions of people, coffee is non-negotiable. It’s the engine that starts the day. But that energy boost often comes with a steep price: the caffeine jitters. Shaking hands, a racing heart, and sudden anxiety can turn a productive morning into a stressful one. The two most common negative side effects from coffee are anxiety/jitters and stomach acid

Enter CBD Coffee. By combining cannabidiol (CBD) with high-quality coffee beans, you can unlock a balanced state of alert relaxation. But how exactly does it work?

What Causes Caffeine Jitters?

To understand the solution, we first have to look at the problem. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant. It works primarily by blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter that tells your brain it’s tired.

While this makes you feel alert, caffeine also triggers the release of adrenaline (epinephrine) and cortisol (the stress hormone). This "fight or flight" response is what physically manifests as:

• Increased heart rate (palpitations)
• Restlessness and tremors
• Anxiety spikes and "racing thoughts"

How CBD Counteracts Caffeine Side Effects

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp that interacts with the body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is responsible for maintaining homeostasis, or balance, in the body.

When you drink hemp-infused coffee, the CBD modulates the negative side effects of the caffeine in three key ways:

1. Modulating the "Fight or Flight" Response

While caffeine pushes the gas pedal on your adrenaline, CBD gently applies the brakes. CBD interacts with serotonin receptors (specifically 5-HT1A), helping to smooth out the adrenaline spike caused by caffeine. This allows you to feel energized without the accompanying physical stress.

2. Adenosine Regulation

Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors to keep you awake. CBD, however, is believed to modulate adenosine reuptake, effectively creating a "buffer." The result is a morning routine characterized by "calm focus" rather than a frantic rush.

3. The "Bliss Molecule" (Anandamide)

CBD prevents the breakdown of Anandamide, often called the "bliss molecule." While caffeine provides the drive, the increased anandamide from Buddha Beans Coffee provides the positive mood and creative flow that keeps you from feeling "on edge" during a busy workday.

Why Infused Beans Beat CBD Oil

Many people try to "DIY" their brew by dropping CBD oil into a cup of joe. However, oil and water don't mix. You end up with an oily slick on top and inconsistent dosing.

At Buddha Beans Coffee Co., we use a proprietary infusion process during the roasting phase. This ensures the CBD is bioavailable and binds to the coffee's natural oils, leading to a more consistent and effective "Calm Energy" with every sip.
