Does CBD oil help with training?

Until two years ago, the world of professional sports was not convinced about the use of cannabis. Hemp was treated (wrongly) as a doping agent. CBD extracted from hemp seeds remained for a long time on the list of substances that athletes were not allowed to take. On January 1, 2018, also as a result of the actions of athletes themselves, cannabidiol was removed from the list of doping agents. This is great news, given that CBD oil is proving to be extremely effective in relieving inflammation. Which are caused by workouts. It also helps fight joint problems and generally regenerate the body.

CBD, or cannabidiol, belongs to a group of substances generally known as cannabinoids. Created inside our bodies (endocannabinoids), or taken in from the outside (phytocannabinoids), these compounds have an affinity for the endocannabinoid system.

This system plays a regulatory role, controlling a range of functions - from hormone secretion to metabolism to mood. In recent years, it has been found that taking cannabinoids from the outside (phytocannabinoids). Such as CBD - has shown health and regenerative properties, which should be of particular interest to athletes.

Research on CBD oil in sports

It is true that to date it has been possible to confirm with 100% certainty the anti-epileptic effect of cannabidiol. Subsequent signals from both the world of professional sports and the scientific community confirm the positive effects that supplementation with CBD oil brings to physically active people.

A few years ago, there were high-profile cases of members of the Broncos soccer team and MMA fighter Nate Diaz. Who publicly admitted to supporting their bodies with cannabidiol not allowed in professional sports. The athletes sought to have WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) remove CBD from the list of doping substances. The athletes pointed to its analgesic and regenerative properties.

They weren't the only ones, other sports people, as well as subsequent researchers investigating the matter, argued that dietary supplements containing CBD, taken regularly, were safe and effective. In addition to relieving pain and aiding in the treatment of muscle and joint injuries, cannabidiol benefits athletes by regulating metabolism. It also improves sleep disorders, and has a calming effect (which is important, especially after an intense workout).

WADA organization removes CBD oil from doping list

Taking into account the reports of scientists and taking into account the many voices coming from the world of sports, on January 1, 2018, WADA removed cannabidiol from the list of doping substances. When running, swimming, cycling, climbing mountains and practicing team sports, it is a good idea to have hemp oil on hand.

You can take it orally as a dietary supplement, strengthening yourself from the inside out. You can also rub it into an inflamed area. Through transdermal absorption, the oil, so applied, will thus aid in the regeneration process of a strained muscle or an overstressed joint.
