Chronic Gains

Your body is meant to move and heal naturally. Muscle gains are a product of breaking down and rebuilding muscle fibers.

CBD has been shown to suppress the inflammatory response, along with the neuropathic pain that athletes may experience. Sleep is very important for recovery after exercise and CBD may improve sleep quality. Products infused with CBD may help relieve stress from the body released during exercise. Pre-clinical trials and case studies imply that using some form of CBD post-workout may help the body recover, rebalance, and ultimately build muscle. Scientists and physicians haven’t reached a consensus on CBD for athletic recovery just yet but the more it gets studied the results are showing promise.

MMA fighters to marathon runners, yogis, and regular gym goers have been turning towards CBD-infused products to help boost their recover. Whether you’re an athlete-in-training or just trying to recover from gardening muscle recovery doesn’t have to be quite as long or painful anymore with CBD. Some people swear by taking CBD before they hit the court, the field, or pool because CBD can give a natural boost to their performance and improves concentration. CBD may offer one of the most efficient solutions to repairing damage caused through exercise.

In comparison to other products and more traditional methods of recovery, the addition of CBD would mean no setbacks of slowing the recovery process down. Stress and anxiety levels in sports can be extremely high, making CBD potentially useful for this benefit as well.

CBD comes in many forms of topical and oral products, such as CBD oil tinctures, CBD capsules, CBD gummies, creams, balms, lotions, gels, and bath products. There are also CBD Gummies.

In terms of CBD dosage, one rule of thumb is 1-6 milligrams of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight. The exact amount moves within that range based on pain levels, which might vary pre-workout and post-workout. One method of determining your ideal dosage is to start with 5-10mg per day, gradually increasing by 5-10mg until you feel relief. As everyone is different in terms of workout, metabolism, body weight, diet and age, there are no exact specifications to determine your CBD dosage for you. Read our FAQ
