**Flavor + function, on purpose. Why “Focus B-20Hz” and “Twilight 0-6Hz” exist.
**
What “B-20Hz” means (plain English):
It’s shorthand for the brain’s beta band ~20 Hz— the focused, task-oriented state- like a Sative. We build a terpene entourage that nudges biology toward that feel, then we match the aroma so the nose cues the brain to expect it. Function first, flavor follows.
How we steer it:
-
Targets: Terpenes that activate the 5-HT3 receptor for cognitive lift + GABA activating terpene axis that keeps energy clean (no jitters). Our receptor terpenes that map for “focus” leans on 5-HT3 with GABA132- support.
-
Why those? 5-HT3 is tied to attention and learning; GABA subtypes modulate arousal vs. calm.
-
How we pick molecules: high-throughput screening + in-silico predictions against a 500+ phytochemical dataset, then we lock EC 50 ratios.
“Twilight 0-6Hz” (the wind-down lane):
“0-6Hz” points to delta–theta territory—calm, down-shift, sleep-onset vibes. We bias toward CB1, A2A, and GABA 132+/332 pathways to shape sedation, sleep-wake cues, and muscle release, then align flavor accordingly.
Validation (how we know it’s not just vibes-only):
-
Start with receptor hits (HTS + in-silico), down-select by predicted synergy, not just “more terp = more effect.”
-
Build finished formulations around those receptor sets (Focus: 5-HT3/GABA132-; Twilight: CB1/A2A/GABA).
-
Confirm human-perceived effects with controlled sensory work and EEG; track repeatability and onset/offset windows. Mechanism stays anchored in the receptor map above. (Methods and receptor roles detailed here. )
Why operators here should care (vapes, prerolls, drinks):
-
Vapes / carts: Keep terps below thermal abuse. Add blend post-heat where possible. If you’re mixing liquid diamonds at 65–75 °C, expect drift; dose functional terps after thermal steps.
-
Storage: Nitrogen on every open bottle. Use single-run aliquots to kill headspace O₂ exposure.
-
Math: If you buy by mL and dose by g, use SG/conv sheets per SKU or your ppm swings.
-
Prerolls: Prefer low-temp infusion or heat-stable carriers; verify retention via headspace GC when you can.
-
Drinks (bar reality): Alcohol extends dwell time; most THC drinks shorten it. Aim social-lift “Buuz” formulation at 5–7 mg THC with a terpene entourage that hits pro-social nodes (5-HT3/GABA patterns), then flavor however you like. Effect teaches taste—Red Bull proved that. Our receptor catalogs cover those targets.
Flavor + function together (not strain-perfume):
We don’t just force “danky” into everything. Terpenes aren’t just perfume here; they’re functional actives guided by receptor specificity. Keep your flavor system free; use the functional blend to steer the feel. (Cataloged receptor–function links and example mixes: focus, sleep, mood, pain, etc.)
What you can test now:
-
Focus B-20Hz → brighter citrus lane optional; feels alert, steady. (5-HT3 + GABA132- core.)
-
Twilight 0-6Hz → darker berry/herbal lane optional; calm, downshift. (CB1 + A2A + GABA 132+/332 core.)
-
BUUZ is a 37-compound terpene blend engineered as a single functional ingredient. Just 5mg per serving activates alcohol receptors, delivering a light, social lift for drinks. It’s shelf-stable and GRAS. We are GMP.
Operator kit (no pitch, just tools):
Small sample set + 1-page SOP, SG/weight↔volume sheets, and handling guidelines. You run it your way; we’ll help you dial onset/landing. Database/methods here if you want to go deep.
Or
Bring us a brief. We turn it into a spec.
You choose the target effect, flavor lane, format, dose, and cost. We map receptors, propose two to three routes, and ship A and B samples fast. We iterate to your tolerance bands, then lock the ratio.
Deliverables include formulation spec, SG and weight to volume tables, SOPs, stability notes, and COAs. Optional human sensory and EEG validation.
Own the final formula and keep your flavor system free. Use our modules to build your stack: Live Line for true to plant, Functional blends for effect, amplifiers for lift, and custom palettes for brand fit.
Pilot to production with zero drama. Same effect. Every run.
