CBD for Recovery and Wellbeing

More and more athletes are turning to CBD for recovery and wellness, and it is easy to understand why. Training puts a lot of stress on the body, and overtraining can lead to inflammation and increased injury risk. If you are serious about your sportA, then you will want to get in as many productive sessions as possible, pay attention to nutrition, and get plenty of good quality sleep as well.

All of those things are difficult, thanks to our busy, modern lives. We spend so much time rushing to and from work and trying to juggle life responsibilities and training. Finding the time to get the nutrition we need is hard, and a combination of stress and less than perfect sleep hygiene (consumption of caffeine or alcohol, or just trying to work before bed) can all mount up to cause sleepless nights.

CBD for Recovery and the Modern Athlete

CBD can't pack your gym bag for you, and it can't prep your meals, but it can help to improve your sleep, and it can help to reduce soreness and promote healing. This makes it ideal for someone who is struggling with stiffness and overtraining, finding it hard to sleep after a difficult session, or is worried that a minor tweak could become something greater.

A Drug-Free Treatment for Aches and Pains

CBD is a cannabinoid; it is a natural substance which is not psychoactive and which binds to the endocannabinoid receptors in the body, promoting relaxation, easing anxiety, and reducing pain and inflammation. In parts of the world where recreational use of cannabis is socially acceptable and legal it is not uncommon for athletes and chronic pain sufferers to use low THC, high CBD cannabis as an alternative to opiods or NSAIDs. Traditional medications can be addictive and can have unpleasant side-effects. CBD offers the same 'natural' benefits of cannabis, but without the psychoactive element of THC. It is not habit forming or addictive, and there have been no recorded instances of overdoses.

Multiple Delivery Methods

There are many ways that you can take CBD. Many people take it orally, either sublingually with drops, or through gummies or candy. The problem with this is that the taste can be unpleasant, and it can be hard to predict how much CBD you would need to take to enjoy a beneficial effect.

CBD sprays and gels allow you to target your 'problem areas', so if you have a sore calf or shoulder you can apply the treatment to that specific area, and hopefully get better results.

We stock full-spectrum CBD based products, which means that you're getting not just the benefit of the CBD, but also the other terpenes that are extracted from the plant. These ingredients all work together to offer maximum benefit, which is why full-spectrum CBD is considered more useful than CBD isolate or 'broad spectrum' CBD. Our top quality CBD sprays and gels will help you to stay in the game and keep up a full training schedule for longer.
