Lehua Brands, a California-licensed manufacturer of cannabis products, has expanded its line of Live ORO wellness shots.
The Live ORO sleep aid combines CBN, THC, melatonin and magnesium so it targets multiple pathways to enhance relaxation, reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. This combination addresses not just the ability to fall asleep, but also the quality of deep, restorative sleep. Lehua’s formulation delivers a balanced and comprehensive solution without being habit-forming.
Live ORO features pomegranate and black cherry flavors in a controllable dose. Each Live ORO beverage is vegan and gluten-free, with zero sugar, zero calories and zero carbs. Black cherry and pomegranate were specifically chosen because they are both fruits that contain compounds that may support sleep, though their effects and mechanisms are somewhat different.
Black cherries — especially tart cherries — are rich in melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. They also have anti-inflammatory properties due to their antioxidant content that includes anthocyanins. Studies suggest that tart cherry juice can help improve sleep in individuals with insomnia or poor sleep patterns, increasing total sleep time and efficiency.
Meanwhile, pomegranates are rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols, which may help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Inflammation can contribute to sleep disorders and reducing it may indirectly support better sleep. Lehua recognizes that some consumers are melatonin-resistant — and the compound is not in compliance in some markets — so a Live ORO version with valerian root is expected to launch next month.
“At Lehua, we believe in the power of plants over pills,” said CEO Sierra Elaina. “And we also believe that every great day begins with a good night’s sleep. Our Live ORO cannabis-infused wellness products are developed to enhance your life by combining the effects of cannabis with carefully selected natural ingredients and CBN. It's a well-balanced sleep aid with a lower dose of THC that provides an early onset, and it’s healthy. It’s a functional sleeping aid for a higher state of well-being.”
Live ORO sleep aid is currently available in dispensaries in California through Lehua’s distribution partner, Lowell Farms. Lehua products are also available in more than 115 California licensed retailers and more than 200 licensed retailers in Ontario, Canada.
