Why We Didn’t Add Hemp to Our Mushroom Gummies 

We’re dedicated to creating high-quality wellness products that serve a variety of needs. So, when it came time to develop a new line of products, we decided to step into the beautiful world of mushrooms. Now, you might be wondering: why didn’t Charlotte’s Web™ add hemp to these mushroom gummies? After all, our full-spectrum hemp extract is one of the pillars of our business. 

The answer is simple — we wanted to offer the benefits of nature to a wider audience. 

Functional Mushrooms and The Charlotte’s Web™ Mission 

By developing our Mushroom gummies, we expand our mission to improve more lives, naturally. 

We strive to maintain a commitment to sustainability, transparency, and social impact. Our focus on quality ingredients, like functional mushrooms, reflects our dedication to providing natural solutions that support holistic well-being. 

These gummies further our mission of helping everyone harness the power of plants for a healthier life. 

Expanding Accessibility: Why Our Mushroom Gummies are Hemp-Free 

Our primary goal with these mushroom gummies was to bring the benefits of Functional Mushrooms to as many people as possible. And after some discussion, that meant we had to make them accessible to more people, including those who may not want or be able to take hemp extract or CBD-based products. 

While we’re passionate about the wellness benefits of hemp, we also recognize that some individuals either choose to avoid hemp, or face restrictions based on where they live or work. 

By formulating our mushroom gummies without hemp, we’re able to provide the benefits of adaptogenic mushrooms to more of our community — so that more people can experience the support of nature’s finest ingredients. 

The Power of Functional Mushrooms: What You Get in Our Gummies 

We selected some of the most well-researched and powerful mushrooms to feature in our gummies. Each one is designed to meet a specific wellness need: 

  1. Stress Support Mushroom Gummies combine Reishi mushrooms, known for their calming properties, with Ashwagandha, an herb that has been used for centuries to manage stress and promote relaxation. Together, these two ingredients help you manage daily stressors while promoting a sense of calm.*
  2. Focus Support Mushroom Gummies are for those moments when you need mental clarity and focus. Lion’s Mane mushroom has been shown to support cognitive function and mental clarity, making these gummies are perfect for days when you need extra focus (whether you're at work, studying, or simply trying to stay on top of things!).* 
  3. Energy Support Mushroom Gummies are powered by Cordyceps and Shiitake mushrooms. Cordyceps has long been used to increase energy and stamina, to help keep you going throughout the day.* 

Each of these formulas delivers targeted benefits to help you manage daily challenges, all without the inclusion of hemp. 

Who Are Our Mushroom Gummies For? 

Here are some common reasons people may choose our mushroom gummies: 

  • Individuals who want to start with mushrooms: Some individuals are interested in the wellness benefits of mushrooms and want to learn more about how functional mushrooms can improve their daily wellness routines.

  • People who want a delicious, texturally great gummy: Not all mushroom gummies are created equally. We worked with a sensory panel to develop delicious flavors and textures for our functional mushroom gummies. 
  • Professionals subject to drug testing: Many workplaces conduct routine drug screenings, and even though our CBD products are crafted with great care, some individuals prefer to avoid hemp altogether to eliminate any potential concern. 
  • People living in areas with hemp restrictions: Even though hemp-derived CBD is federally legal, there are still local regulations that can make purchasing hemp products difficult. 

Our mushroom gummies are formulated with all these customers in mind so that anyone can enjoy the benefits of nature’s most powerful ingredients.
