When it comes to the latter, I’ve experimented with oils, gummies, gelcaps, and even sparkling beverages. Every time I try a new CBD product, I’m hoping for two things: First, I want the formula to help quiet my inner mental chatter by evoking a sense of calm, and second, I want my body to feel so relaxed that I don’t toss and turn before falling asleep.* Don’t get me wrong, I know this is a steep request for any supplement. Many hemp CBD formulas have come close to hitting the mark, often achieving one goal but not the other. Luckily for me, I finally found my dream formula that can do both: the Prima Chill Out CBD Chews.

Why I’m obsessed with the Prima CBD Chews.
It didn’t take me a few weeks to start liking these vegan chews; it took one single use. The first time I tried the CBD chew was after a long (and stressful) day of traveling. My head was still spinning and my body felt tired, yet wired—a caffeine hangover, if you will.
I remembered that I had just received a sample of the Prima CBD chews in the mail, so I figured it was the perfect moment to test them out. I wasn’t expecting much, but I figured they would at least help level my mood a little bit.
After I consumed two of the delicious chews (one serving size), I unpacked my suitcase and tidied up my apartment, which took about 30 minutes in total. When I went to hop in the shower, I noticed something odd.
My brain was quiet. While I was cleaning my apartment I wasn’t thinking about how much I didn’t want to do it or how badly I wanted to be in my bed for the night. Nor was I dreading the impending Sunday scaries doom. Instead, I just felt at peace.
I quickly realized the 25mg of broad-spectrum hemp in the formula was evoking a sense of calm, and my theory was supported by science; a large case series study published in the Permanente Journal found that taking between 25 to 75 mg of CBD per day can promote mental and physical relaxation1.*
Needless to say, I knew these chews were a game changer. I hadn't paired them with a meditation, a nice bath, or any other potentially relaxing activity. Instead, I'd taken them during activities that I despised—unpacking and chores—that usually leave me feeling angsty and annoyed.
After I got out of the shower, I hopped right into bed and fell asleep within minutes. I didn’t feel the need to go on my phone, flip my pillow 10 times, or try to count sheep (as if that ever works for me anyway). Instead, I drifted to sleep in peace, with a state of serenity I never predicted feeling after a long day of travel.*
What’s inside?
Each serving of Prima chews has 25 mg of organic broad-spectrum hemp (delivering 20 mbg of CBD). This is technically a moderate dose on mindbodygreen's potency scale, and I found it to be just the right amount of CBD to support relaxation without making me too sleepy for normal daytime activities.* Personally, when I invest in CBD products, I want to feel something, but maybe not too much—and that's where these chews excel.
Plus, the formula offers more than just hemp. Prima also adds magnesium into the mix—another ingredient plenty of people use to wind down.* With this combination, it only makes sense that these chews stand out from the rest.

The flavor is divine as well; it has hints of berry and lemon but still retains a natural taste. I don’t love the idea of chewing on a bright-colored, sugar-packed gummy for the sake of relaxation, so these naturally flavored (and naturally colored, with beets!) vegan chews are the perfect alternative. Bonus: The chews are also individually wrapped, so you can take a few in your purse without having to lug around the entire bag. I consider it a major win, but I know those hoping to reduce waste may not be as big of fans.
