Natural wellness solutions to enhance focus and efficiency are on the rise.
Among this, a major emerging trend is microdosing THC.
The goal is is to ingest small, typically sub-perceptible doses (1-3mg of THC) which enables users to discover therapeutic benefits without the intoxicating "high" associated with higher amounts of THC.
ATHLETHC takes this approach to an entirely new level as we leverage these effects by combining THC with additional functional hemp actives such as CBD, THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin), and CBG (cannabigerol). These formulas lead to users reporting improved mental clarity, reduced stress, and boosted productivity, making it a subtle tool for daily performance.
How is this approach effective for Productivity?
Microdosing THC for performance is not a new phenomenon but it is often overlooked by today’s marketplace catering to high dose consumers focused on recreation. However, in small doses, THC can quiet mental chatter and foster "flow states" where creativity and concentration thrive. (More on microdosing benefits here)
CBG: Known as the "mother of cannabinoids," CBG promotes mental clarity and reduces inflammation, helping maintain sharp focus without psychoactive effects. (Source)
THCV: This energizing compound may suppress appetite and enhance motivation, countering the "munchies" while providing an uplifting boost similar to a mild stimulant (Source)
CBD: Balances THC's effects through the "entourage effect," amplifying relaxation and anxiety relief to create a calm, productive mindset.
Data suggests that consumers of THCV and CBG gain productivity from heightened attentiveness and inspiration. Anecdotal reports and preliminary studies suggest this combination supports mood enhancement, better sleep, and overall well-being, all of which fuel sustained energy for tasks.
The Science Behind It
Research on microdosing cannabinoids is growing, with one study showing low-dose extracts improving memory and brain function in mild Alzheimer's cases. Dose-dependent effects indicate that small amounts of THC can reduce anxiety and enhance focus, while non-intoxicating actives like CBD and CBG modulate these benefits for a more targeted outcome.

Though more clinical trials are needed, the synergy—often called the entourage effect—suggests these compounds work better together than in isolation.
Tips for Getting Started
Start small.
With our Power, Flow, and Rebound formulas, a single mint will deliver a precise microdose of 2mg of THC with additional 12mg of additional hemp actives for function. While the impact of each blend will be personalized to your biology, you can experiment with larger doses at once or multiple formulas spread throughout the day to find the right balance for your lifestyle.
Even when a small dose delivers a sub-perceptual psychoactive effect, you will still notice the benefits of focus, mood, energy and recovery.
