CBD and Sport

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. It is non-psychoactive, meaning that it does not cause the well-known "high" often associated with marijuana use. CBD is said to have a number of potential therapeutic benefits, including reducing anxiety and inflammation.

There is some evidence that CBD may be beneficial as a performance-enhancing substance for athletes. For example, a study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found that CBD may have anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory effects that could be beneficial for athletes. Other research has suggested that CBD may have pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing properties that could also be beneficial for athletes.

However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CBD on athletic performance. Until more is known, it is important for athletes to be cautious when using CBD or any other supplement. It is always a good idea to consult with a health professional before starting any new supplement regime.

CBD and muscle tension 

CBD is said to have a variety of health benefits, including supporting muscle growth and recovery. However, there is little scientific evidence that CBD actually helps with these processes. Some studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially help reduce muscle pain and injury. However, it is important to note that further studies are needed to further investigate the effectiveness of CBD in supporting muscles and sports performance. 

Which CBD is best for sports?

There are a variety of CBD products available for use in sports, including oils, capsules, creams and ointments. It is important to note that the efficacy and safety of many of these products have not been adequately studied, and there are no standardised dosage recommendations. Before using CBD for athletic purposes, you should seek advice from a doctor or other healthcare professional to ensure that it is suitable for you and to avoid possible interactions with other medications or supplements. It is also important to note that CBD is illegal in many countries or can only be sold legally under certain conditions. Make sure you check the applicable laws in your region before buying or using CBD. Otherwise, we would recommend always starting with the lowest dosage.
