A few months back, one of my favorite fitness and nutrition influencers started talking about taking Serenity Gummies from Cured Nutrition at night to help her unwind and get a great night of sleep. I trust this influencer as she generally doesn’t share a lot of random products, so I know if she’s sharing, chances are she’s a legitimate user.
I had never tried a CBD gummy before, and to be honest, it wasn’t something I was immediately comfortable with. I am the type of person who values being in control, which is one of the main reasons why I had given up alcohol almost completely two years prior.
The influencer I was watching had mentioned that she used Serenity Gummies as a replacement for alcohol, which I found to be very interesting as I too wanted something that could help me to relax and take the edge off, without the negative repercussions that so often accompany alcohol consumption.
So, I took a chance, ordered a bag of Serenity Gummies, and now I’m going to share my full experience with you.
Rating Serenity Gummies
Overall, I look forward to taking a Serenity Gummy while I wind down and relax after a long day. They taste great and they work.
Brand
Cured Nutrition was a new-to-me brand, however, upon doing a little research, I discovered that the brand has been around since late 2017. Founded by two engineers, Cured offers innovative health and wellness products that harness the “healing powers of nature.” Cured has a complete line of supplements for everything from sleep and relaxation to energy and gut health. One thing that I want to note about the brand is that they do an excellent job answering custom questions and explaining things technically but understandably.
Effectiveness
After using Serenity Gummies consistently over the course of about 90 days now, I can tell you that this product does what it's marketed to do. The ingredients provide a clean, calm, and complete sense of winding down and relaxation.
Side Effects
The saying “the dose makes the poison” is very relevant here. The only time I have experienced any side effects while taking Serenity Gummies was when I took too many for my body and my preferences. For me, one single gummy is plenty to provide me with the benefits I’m seeking. More than one and I start to feel a little too loose and “out of it.”
Value
Serenity Gummies cost $69.99 for a 60-serving bag. Taking one per night, a single bag will last me two months, however, many people take two per day, so a single bag would last them one month. Cured also offers subscribe and save discounts, which significantly reduces the cost if this is a product that you’d like to enjoy regularly. All in all, if you’re using Serenity Gummies to replace an alcoholic beverage, you could definitely end up saving money, especially if you tend to go out to bars for drinks.
Taste
Serenity Gummies come in two different flavor options: passionfruit or clementine. I have tried both and both offer a pleasant flavor. That being said, you will still taste the rather strong presence of the CBD, so I won’t say it’s going to be the tastiest gummy you’ll ever eat, but it’s also not overly terrible.

What Are Senerity Gummies?
Serenity Gummies are CBD-based gummies made by Cured Nutrition. These gummies contain microdose THC, full-spectrum hemp extract, adaptogens, and functional mushrooms that work together to provide
Why I Ordered Them
After being introduced to Serenity Gummies several times, I decided to do a bt of research to see if this product might be a good fit for me. I visited Cured Nutrition’s website and did my due diligence researching the product before finally adding it to my cart and checking out.
I also want to note that several other Cured Nutrition products caught my attention while browsing their website, but I decided to start with the Serenity Gummies. I wanted to see if this product would truly help me to unwind, relax, and improve my sleep without making me feel anxious and “out of it” (aka I didn’t want to feel high).
Plus, if I could find a legitimate replacement for alcohol, think of all the calories I’d be saving!
Initial Response and Reactions
I was really eager to try my Serenity Gummies as soon as the package arrived. I knew I would want to wait until around bedtime to take one as my hope was that I could use these gummies as a way to relax, unwind, and drift to sleep peacefully as I was often plagued with racing thoughts.
Knowing that I’m a total lightweight when it comes to any kind of substance, I decided to start with ½ a gummy. My initial thought upon chewing it up was that it had a strong taste like marijuana, tinged with some orange. It wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t delicious.
Within minutes, I started to feel the gummy take effect. My body started to feel more relaxed, my mind started to slow down, and I got an overall sense of calm, which I really liked. I felt as if the weight that I often carry when it’s time to lie down at night just sort of slid off me. I was able to melt into the couch, be present with my husband, and avoid the racing, anxious thoughts that often accompanied my evening routine.
Sleep came easily shortly after taking the gummy. I drifted to sleep, slept through the night and woke up completely refreshed. I was definitely a little nervous that I might wake with a headache or a lingering feeling of fogginess, however, the opposite was true. I was sharp, clear-headed, and energized.
Upping My Dose
For the first couple of weeks, I continued to eat just half a gummy at a time, allowing my body and mind to get used to it. Around the third week, I decided to up my intake to a full gummy. I didn’t take a gummy every night, I would say probably 2-3 nights per week. By the time I started taking one full gummy at a time, my body was pretty used to them and responded really well.
I’m the type of person who doesn’t like relying on anything to help me relax, fall asleep, etc. so I was very careful to only take a gummy on the days when I really felt like I could use the extra help with shutting my mind down and getting a good night of sleep. That being said, I know that there are plenty of people out there who are taking gummies daily and are absolutely fine with doing so, you need to find what works for you.
Did Serenity Gummies Replace Alcohol For Me?
When I shared with my clients and followers that I was taking Serenity Gummies, one of their first questions was whether or not I felt like they truly could replace alcohol, so here are my thoughts.
Prior to starting Serenity Gummies, I was not a frequent drinker. I was maybe having one drink per week, so I wouldn’t say that I used the gummies as an alcohol replacement as I wasn’t drinking very often at all and I definitely wasn’t having drinks before bed in the evening as I was sure to wake up with a headache if I did.
While my initial thought was that these would be a great replacement for alcohol, the truth is that I wasn’t really drinking before I started taking these, so I use them more for relaxation at night time and better sleep.
Do I think someone could use these as an alternative to alcohol? Absolutely! If you’re someone who finds yourself pouring a glass of wine, or whiskey, or having a beer or two in the evenings to relax, you could definitely try replacing that habit with Serenity Gummies. I think you will find that you get the same stress relief but without the negative effects of alcohol.
Who Should Take Serenity Gummies?
In my opinion, Serenity Gummies are a good option for those who feel like they need a little help de-stressing, unwinding, and settling into sleep at night. Although I don’t necessarily use them as an alcohol replacement, I do think that they could work really well for those who find themselves drinking frequently, saving them calories, hangovers, and other side effects.
Who Shouldn’t?
Those who are periodically drug tested for employment or otherwise should probably not partake in Serenity Gummies as the THC in the gummies can remain in their body for varying periods of time.
Wrapping Up
I am happy to report that Cured Nutrition’s Serenity Gummies do what they claim they will do and that I will be a frequent buyer. I look forward to nights when I know I’ll have the time and space to be able to enjoy the effects of the gummy while I wind down, read my book, and get ready to settle into bed.
I am very impressed with Cured Nutrition as a brand as they are a legitimate, high-quality producer of CBD-based products. In fact, I recently placed an order for their CBD Night Caps and ZEN capsules, stay tuned for my review on those products!
