Whether oil, capsules, crystals or flowers, CBD-containing products are becoming increasingly popular, even among athletes. Even professionals are allowed to consume them without restrictions, because cannabidiol - unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) - does not have a psychoactive effect. For this reason, CBD was removed from the list of banned substances by the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2018. Cannabidiol can bring relief from sore muscles and minor inflammation of muscle fibers, as well as help in the regeneration of joints and muscles - which is why the use of CBD products is equally interesting for athletes.
Benefits of cannabidiol medicines for athletically active people
CBD oil and co. are pure natural productswhich are rarely accompanied by minor side effects. Among other things, they act
- decongestant,
- relaxing,
- anti-inflammatory,
- regenerating
Due to the numerous positive effects, there are numerous athletes who swear by CBD products. It does not matter at all whether football or handball, swimming, cycling, jogging, tennis or weight training are on the program. Every sport strengthens our muscles, increases endurance and ensures a high calorie consumption. Individually, it comes to stimulation of certain muscle groups, which are gradually built up through fitness units. Inexperienced as well as professionals often have to struggle with muscle soreness as well as joint and other muscle complaints.
CBD for the relief of sore muscles
Study results indicate that cannabidiol can help relieve painful muscle soreness caused by micro-inflammation in the muscle fibers. Even a small amount of CBD after exercise provides improved regeneration of the affected muscle tissue. As a result, the pain subsides more quickly, and at the same time there is an earlier recovery of performance. Thus, many athletes can start the next training session early without muscle soreness.
One competitive athlete commented on the benefits of CBD products as follows:
"For me, CBD is an expression of an active lifestyle and is not used by many athletes as a daily routine for nothing. The trend from the U.S., which started in the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and in boxing, has now finally arrived in Europe, as expected. As a competitive athlete, I personally appreciate above all the regenerative influence of CBD. If it is possible to shorten the regeneration phases, the next training level can simply be reached faster and more effectively."
CBD highlights our lifestyle today
Just like the Protein and the Post Workout Drink of the company Brandl Nutrition GmbH, among other things, CBD oil is offered as a dietary supplement. According to an industry expert, cannabidiol has arrived in the middle of our society. This is also confirmed by the ever-increasing demand for CBD products of all kinds. It can be found in the health sector as well as in the beauty industry. Even for animals, products containing cannabidiol are increasingly being used.
CBD is considered to be an extremely promising natural extract that perfectly fits today's conscious as well as healthy lifestyle. The steadily increasing numbers of cannabidiol supporters speak for themselves. But science is also intensively dealing with the topic. There are now numerous studies that prove that CBD has many therapeutic properties. Most commonly, it is used to benefit from the following advantages:
- Relaxation
- Increase of the well-being
- Improvement of night sleep
- Pain relief
Experiences of various CBD users
While scientists regularly publish their study results, private individuals ensure the ever-growing popularity of CBD products with their testimonials. We have compiled some of them below.
Alina (27 years)
"A conscious and balanced lifestyle is very important to me. For me, this includes daily exercise, a balanced diet and sufficient sleep. Unfortunately, I have been struggling with problems falling asleep for a long time. CBD oil was my salvation. Since I've been using it, I fall asleep quickly and wake up more rested. Thanks to its many benefits, I can't imagine my everyday life without CBD and it also helps me to calm down better when I'm under a lot of stress."
Anke (54 years)
"I discovered yoga for myself in the early 90s. I attended many classes until I finally decided to train as a yoga teacher myself. A serious illness ended my yoga practice for almost a year, after which I struggled with massive re-entry problems. Since I've been taking CBD oil, I've been able to perform the individual asanas longer again and be in the here and now more easily. That's why I also recommend CBD oils to my students. They help them focus specifically on something and not be distracted by external or internal distractions."
George (31 years)
"I can't imagine my life without sports! Of course, over the years the expectations of one's own performance grow more and more. CBD oil has become an essential companion for me for almost two years now, helping me to stay powerful and focused. For me, they are perfect for restful sleep and better recovery."
Kersten (59 years)
"I've been doing weight training for 30 years now. Since my work days are usually quite long, I usually don't start my sports program until late in the evening. I am often too wired to fall asleep. Since I have been taking CBD oil, I can fall asleep and stay asleep much better. My regeneration phase is noticeably shorter and I have the feeling that I am generally in a better mental and physical condition."
Most popular CBD product: cannabidiol oil
The aforementioned empirical values relate exclusively to CBD oil. This is not surprising, because it is in this form that cannabidiol is most often taken. On the one hand, the oils offer the advantage of being easy to dose individually. On the other hand, they are absorbed directly through the oral mucosa, so that a relatively rapid effect occurs. In comparison: With CBD capsules, the effect is delayed, since the contained oil is only released in the stomach.
