Benefits of CBD for Athletes

Many studies have shown that CBD is an effective anti-inflammatory. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD are well received by many athletes who swear by the positive effect on recovery and inflammation.

Before your workout, CBD may help maximize performance by reducing stress, improving oxygen delivery, reducing inflammation and pain signaling, and promoting mobility.

It could help improve muscle recovery, reduce muscle and joint inflammation, and improve sleep recovery after a workout.

Benefits of a Topical CBD application include:

• Pinpoint application to the area of pain in treating pain and inflammation in specific areas such as joints or muscles and may help reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
• CBD lotions don’t interact with your bloodstream (unless you use a transdermal patch designed specifically for that purpose); instead, they use cannabinoid receptors in the skin to produce localized relief from discomfort. 
• Creams and balms can be more useful for targeting muscle tightness and pain, as they work immediately on the source of the pain and are often combined with other soothing ingredients, such as Arnica, Eucalyptus, green tea, vitamin E, and more.
• CBD products are reported to deliver many benefits by boosting the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is found in every organ.

With full-spectrum hemp oil, the compounds derived from cannabis—including all the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids—team up to benefit your body and help keep you in harmony. In short, full-spectrum presents a whole orchestra rather than just one cannabinoid's solo performance.
