Sport is a part of many people’s daily routine. Whether you are a casual exerciser, or a dedicated athlete, you may find that CBD can help with a number of areas when it comes to increasing performance, speeding up the body’s recovery process and optimising muscle functions.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has officially removed CBD from it’s list of prohibited substances for athletes. This decision has been made due to  recognition of the natural, beneficial effects that CBD has on your body.

Pre-competitive stress

Prior to competitions, the body can experience stress and anxiety through intense training and exercises. When this happens, athletes are tired to such an extent that they can no longer train. CBD helps the body to suppress anxiety and stress, allowing athletes to continue training without the body reacting in a negative way. CBD helps the body to limit the stress response to workouts by creating the right amount of anti-stress and anxiety hormones in the brain.

Pain relief

When the body is trained too hard, pain can occur. If treatment is not received, muscle strain may develop after training, which can have a major impact on the athlete’s career. CBD helps athletes to increase their pain threshold and at the same time ensures that muscle cramps and pain are reduced after using CBD in sports.
