Athletes’ desire to achieve peak performance requires significant physical exertion with little time for recovery. The physical demands without sufficient time for recovery lead to increased risk for injury and overall fatigue. Dietary supplements and other ergogenic aids have become staples for athletic populations to push boundaries and recover faster. Recovery products typically include amino acids, antioxidants, and botanically-derived supplements. Cannabidiol (CBD), derived from hemp, has grown in popularity due to its potential benefits including anti-inflammatory, pain and sleep support. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed isolated CBD from the prohibited list, further expanding acceptance of products containing CBD for athletes’ recovery programs. A recent systematic review explored studies on CBD for sports recovery using established criterion for determining which studies should be included in the review. Over 2/3 of the data came from preclinical and clinical studies in a multitude of subjects spanning from rodents or porcine animal models to human studies. Overall, results from both animal and human studies reviewed indicate CBD has significant potential for recovery through its anti-inflammatory properties. Results from our human clinical study corroborate the potential benefits for CBD as a component of a recovery program. Healthy human subjects who consumed CBD over 90 days experienced significantly less pain compared to the placebo group via surveys and analysis of biomarkers for pain. We will continue to share more data on the benefits of cannabinoids and other functional ingredients as it becomes available. #CBDBenefits #CBDWellness #SportsRecovery #Research #Cannabinoids https://lnkd.in/evYtYhSt
