In 2018 the World Anti-Doping Association removed CBD from their list of prohibited substances, meaning athletes can use as much CBD as they want without any negative consequences or penalties.  This means that CBD clearly has benefits, however it’s not going to give you an unfair advantage over your competition.

To date, the research on CBD is limited, however it is showing very positive signs of helping with pain and inflammation. We believe this is a big reason why so many athletes are drawn to the appeal of CBD. As we have all word one time or another, “No pain, no gain”. One of CBD’s most promising features is its ability to help athletes recover, especially from injury. CBD does have a direct impact on the human body. Even though it might not have a direct impact on your in-game athletic performance, it will though have an effect on your recovery which indirectly influences your in-game performance. 

So does CBD affect athletic performance? YES!!! It sure does and so far the research shows that CBD’s effects are nothing but positive.

As an athlete, you train hard so you can perform at a high level. Both the training and the actual performance can be extremely taxing on your body. Now, add to that our busy schedules. We are busier now than we have ever been before and that includes the time between workout’s or practices and actually performing. Which means… we have a small window for recovery!

As an Athlete, you have to remain cool while under pressure. An athlete's job not only requires them to keep their cool under pressure but to perform at their best as well. Unfortunately, anxiety can often take over when athletes are competing, especially when the stakes are high. However, early studies have shown that CBD may be beneficial for reducing this anxiety.

CBD is making waves among athletes and sports enthusiast who claim the benefits can vary from accelerated recovery, to better sleep, to less stress of upcoming events. CBD is gaining more and more popularity among athletes since being removed from the World Anti-Doping’s list of controlled substances.
